 Sam, I'm worried half sick. I think the Beals have taken Buddy and Nancy. The Beals? But how? I don't know exactly. This morning, when we all got up, they were gone. I don't know how or why or where, and neither does anybody else. Hasn't anyone seen them? Or didn't anyone see them leave? No. I've been trying to pass the whole thing off, hoping you'd get back soon. I thought if I said anything like this to the Caldwells, it might make things even hotter around here. That was good thinking.
