Even I wasn't surprised when Mr. Spencer was the first to recover. "Put your avenging sword away Sweetheart. Just listing her options. Knew your kid would pick the best one," he said preening.
"None of the above?" Mom replied.
"Amen to that," Mr. Baldwin muttered.
"I was just about to start breakfast," Ms. Spencer said before Abbot and Costello could get started again. "I was going to make pancakes is that alright?"
I waited hoping that Mom would say something else. Instead she just nodded. Still, even that much active communication was something new. Before I even knew it we were all seated at the table eating pancakes and listening to another round of Mr. Spencer and Mr. Baldwin's Abbot and Costello act.
Let me just state for the record now that I knew this was not a normal situation. I still didn't really know who these people were, what they wanted with Mom, or how they had ended up with custody of the twins for even a morning. I knew that I should probably just take the twins and Mom and hightail it out of there. However, in my defense the twins were happy, the food was good, and Mom seemed to be following the sideshow act.
Still, as apparently the only one resembling a levelheaded person, there were some questions to be answered. "So Nicholas and Gia are missing. Where is Uncle Stephen?" I asked.
"Looking for the prince and princess I suppose," Mr. Spencer answered.
All right, that was just about the first sensible thing I had ever heard the man say. I turned to him, "What does this have to do with you?"
"You haven't heard this bed-time story? I thought it was required reading. Oh well." Mr. Spencer shrugged. "Once upon a time," he began.
"Luke!" Mother interrupted. "What is currently being done?" she asked.
"Air control and the coast guard have been notified. The PCPD have ended up as the central point for all the information. Taggert went down to the station this morning for an update and get in touch with some of his personal contacts," Mr. Baldwin answered.
"They aren't going to find anything and you know it Natasha," Mr. Spencer stated.
Then Mark sent his glass rolling across the table.
