9:35 P.M.

"Muleskinner Blues" by Dolly Parton can be heard playing from the ballroom.

Wondering what could be in the manila envelope, you walk over to the VCR and take a peek. It is addressed to Jack Marston, Ashcroft Manor. Where the return address should be is a drawing of an Ear.

A neatly-typed letter is hanging out of the envelope. It says, "Just a reminder. Wellman stays out of politics or I go to the media with my videotape collection. ALL of my videotapes." At the bottom of the page is the Ear logo.

Just then, a policeman steps into the room. He looks you up and down, then consults a notebook and says, "Excuse me...Brother Doofus  is it? Sgt. Duffy has asked me to escort you to the library. Would you come with me, please?"
