Twelve years earlier....
Mommy forgot to warn the new babysitter about the basement. Chloe
teetered on the top step, chubby hands reached up to clutch both
railings, her arms shaking so much she could barely hang on. Her legs
shook, too, the scooby doo heads on her slippers bobbing. Even her
breath shook, puffing like she'd been running. "Chloe?" Emily's
muffled voice drifted up from the dark basement. "Your mom said the
coke's in the cold cellar, but i can't find it. Can you come down please
and help me?" Mommy said she'd told Emily about the basement.
Chloe was sure of it. She closed her eyes and thought hard. Before
mommy and daddy left for the party, she'd been playing in the TV
room. Mommy had called, and Chloe had run into the front hall where
Mommy had scooped her up in a hug, laughing when Chloe's doll
poked her eye. "I see you're playing with princess--I mean,Pirate
Jasmine. Has she rescued poor Aladdin from the evil genie yet?"
Chloe shook her head,then wispered, "Did you tell Emily about the
basement?" "I most certianly did. No basements for miss chloe.
