Where In the World Is Blair Warner?
CHAPTER ONE: WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE
Jo Polnieczek woke up on a sunny Saturday morning to the smell of ...coffee? Jo rose from her queen size bed, leaving the comforter hanging over the side. Jo slowly walked through her small apartment to her kitchen. When she got there she was greeted by her boyfriend Taylor Walker.
"Taylor, what are you doing here?" Jo asked as leaned against the kitchen counter. Taylor had two cups of coffee in his hands. He put one cup down in front of Jo and kissed her.
"Can't your boyfriend stop off and make you a cup of coffee? Are you free today?" Taylor asked as he walked over to the small table near the corner of the kitchen.
"Sorry, Taylor. But I have to work today. I have to get going by nine." Jo said taking a sip of her steaming hot coffee.
"Honey, it's nine forty five." Taylor said as he sat down at the table. Jo's eyes darted to the kitchen clock. After Jo realized what her boyfriend had just said, Jo ran to the bathroom to get ready.
"I'm gonna be late!" Jo got ready in under five minutes and ran for the door.
"Jo, I never knew that being a radio DJ was this stressful." Jo opened the front door.
"You have no idea. Lock up for me will ya?" Jo ran outside and to her black Honda, parked in the apartment's parking lot. She jumped in and started her up. The car whined for a moment and then started. Jo made her way out of the parking lot.

"You're late, Polnieczek. I don't like it when you're late." A slightly bald man in a dark blue suit said after Jo made her way into a large tan building.
"Sorry Max, I overslept. I mean, cut me some slack, it is Saturday." Jo said as she followed Max down a hall.
"Jo, if you're a secret agent working for CIA, you can't be late! I won't tell the boss this time, but don't let it happen again. Dorothy is waiting in the boss's office, he wants you there too." Max said as he left Jo and walked into his office.
Jo heaved a sigh, and ran to a large blue office. When she arrived, she saw Tootie sitting in one of the small green chairs in front of the desk.
"Where were you? You remember the last time you were late? The boss almost fired you!" Tootie said, getting up as Jo walked into the room.
"Sorry, Tootie. What does the boss want?" Jo asked.
"I'll tell you what I want..." Came a loud voice from above the desk. Jo looked up and saw a TV screen implanted in the wall. She saw the boss on the screen.
"Sir!" Tootie said quickly. The boss motioned with his hand for the two to sit down; Jo and Tootie did.
"The reason I wanted you both here, is because we got another kidnapping case. A Ms. Blair Warner has been kidnapped and taken to Australia.
The kidnapper is asking for a lot of ransom money. The kidnapper also asked that the money come from a Tootie Ramsey and a Jo Polnieczek. Of course I would want to ask you what the heck this guy means." The man said through the screen.
"Blair Warner, we used to be best friends, actually we all used to live in the same house together. But then Tootie and I left when we were asked to come and work with you." Jo said as she crossed her right leg over her left.
"When was the last time either of you spoke to her?"
"I spoke to her about two weeks ago." Jo answered.
"Yeah, and I talked to her about a week and a half ago." Tootie answered. The boss nodded slowly and then kept going.
"Well, I want you two to go back to Blair's house, see if you can find anything. She is now living with a Natalie Green, Snake Robinson, Beverly Anne Stickle, and Andy Moffet. I want you to go and talk to these people, ASAP."
The girls nodded and headed for the door.
