Jen walked up to the old clock tower. She stood reminiscing about the first day they spent there. The place needed a lot of work and she wasn't sure they could live there. But when she saw the way they could look out over the city without being seen it suddenly became home.
"He did a great job restoring it." Mr. Collins said coming up beside her. "Now it's a place where troubled kids can get help and learn about the value of hard work."
"He kept his promise." Jen murmured.
"What are you doing out here?"
"Nothing, just remembering."
"Can I give you a ride back to the mansion?"
"No, I think I'll just sit her a while." She said indicating a park bench under the trees behind her.
"All right, I'll be at my office if you need anything." Mr. Collins said standing up and patting her on the shoulder.
Jen watched as Mr. Collins got back into his limousine. As soon as he was out of sight she got up and went around behind to the back entrance of the clock tower. It was early so if this was a place for troubled youth no one would be there. She pulled on the door but it was locked. Then she felt for the loose stone in the wall where they kept a spare key for Trip who always seemed to lose his. She smiled as she pulled the stone away and found that it was still there. Then she unlocked the door.
