The next morning, Mrs. Roper was the first one up and went to get the coffee started for herself and Stanley. She knew he was already awake, but she had noticed that her husband's bathrobe and slippers were gone, and she guessed he went to get the morning newspaper.

"Morning, Mr. Roper," Jack said, newspaper in hand.

"Morning, Jack," Mr. Roper greeted Jack.

He remembered he hadn't yet his morning coffee. He and Jack walked to the stairs together and he watched Jack walk to the apartment above his. That's when he opened his apartment door and started to smell coffee brewing from the kitchen.

By hearing the coffee maker in the kitchen, Stanley Roper could tell that his wife was already awake because of the coffee brewing in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Helen," he said, newspaper in hand.

"Good morning, Stanley. I figured you were already up because your slippers and bathrobe were gone. You're usually still asleep at this hour," Helen told him.

"I couldn't sleep anymore, Helen, so I figured the morning paper would be here by now and it is," Stanley Roper said, pulling out the business section.

"I saw Jack when I was getting the paper, Helen. I think there's something funny going on up there," he said.

"There you go again, Stanley. Maybe Jack and the girls aren't doing anything as you think. I'll even prove it to you," she said.

"All right, Helen. If you're so smart, prove it there is nothing going on with Jack and the girls. I'd love to see you do it," he said.

"All right, Stanley. We'll both go up there now and you'll see for yourself there is nothing fishy going on," she said as the two-headed up to 201.

He volunteered to knock on the door and both he and Helen were greeted by Jack.

"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Roper. Won't you come in?" Jack asked.

"Thank you, Jack," Mrs. Roper said as he shut the door behind them.

"What did I tell you, Helen? Jack's playing games with us," Mr. Roper said.

"Quiet, Stanley. Jack, Stanley thinks there is something going on with you and the girls. Is that true?" she asked.

"No, Mrs. Roper. We don't have a thing going on here. You must have something going on in your head, Mr. Roper," Jack said.

That's when both the Ropers heard Janet and Chrissie talking in the kitchen with Larry with two teenagers.

"You must be wrong, Jack. I can hear voices and something tells me you and the girls must be playing house. I don't think I'm enjoying this. Jack, tell me, who's the mother? Janet or Chrissie?" Stanley Roper asked.

Jack couldn't believe what he was hearing from Rope, so he started to giggle. In the kitchen, Larry and the girls were quiet because they were listening to the conversation.

"I want the truth, Jack. If you and the girls are playing house with children, I'd like to see for myself. If you three are, then I'd be happy to kick you three off to the streets," Mr. Roper said.

That made Jack stop. The five in the kitchen were quiet, trying not to make a peep. Larry, Janet, and Chrissie knew they were trapped but what could they do about the homeless twins from being caught from Mr. Roper's noticing them?

Janet thought of something.

"Larry, why don't you take the boys with you for a while? That way, if Roper came in here he won't get too angry at the three of us because of them," Janet said.

"Great idea, Janet," Chrissie said.

"Well, I don't know," Larry said and then thought twice about the idea.

"I guess I could, Janet. Just to keep you girls and Jacko out of trouble. When do you want them back?" Larry asked.

"Whenever you come back here. Now leave before Roper comes and notices they're still here," Janet said, shooing Larry.

Before Larry left, he took the boys with him without anymore complaints.

Once Larry and the twins were outside of the apartment building, Freddy, the talkative twin spoke up first.

"That man sure doesn't sound very nice."

"He gets that way a lot when he comes to my friends' apartment. He does this a lot just to yell at them," Larry said.

"Who are you?" Freddy asked.

"Sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm Larry Dallas. I'm Jack's friend. Your names are?" Larry said.

"We have the same name. We're both Fred, but to tell us apart, you can call me Freddy and him Fred. He doesn't talk much. He's kind of shy," Freddy said.

"Thanks for the warning. I have to go back to work, so I'll just drop you off at the Ropers' apartment. I hope that's okay with you. You could tell Janet you couldn't stay with me because I had to go back to work," Larry said.

"Okay. Which one is Janet again?" Freddy asked.

"She's the dark one. Chrissie is the blonde one," Larry said as the threesome walked into the Ropers' apartment.

Larry noticed Mrs. Roper wasn't in the apartment, so he told the twins he'd see them later and then he headed of to work.
