The Далее morning Blair and Mrs. Garrett were sitting in the living room drinking tea.
"I noticed Ты have some new people on your staff." Mrs. Garrett said. "What are their names?"
"The new security guard is called Bosley." Blair said. "I think it's his last name."
"Jill is our new maid." Blair said. "Jo met her yesterday and thought she was some actress from a '70's TV show."
"Don't Ты have a new stable hand too?" Mrs. G asked while taking a drink of tea.
"Yes, her name is Kelly Garrett." Blair said.
Mrs. Garrett started choking on her tea.
"Mrs. Garrett, are Ты all right?" Blair asked concerned.
"Yes, did Ты say Kelly Garrett?" Mrs. G asked.
"Yeah, do Ты know her?" Blair asked.
"I think she might be my daughter." Mrs. G said.

Sabrina was on the phone talking to Charlie.
"I need Ты to run those names through the computer." Sabrina said. "I'm heading out to the stables now to talk to Kelly."
"OK" Sabrina said. "Bye Charlie."
"Who's Charlie?" сказал(-а) a voice behind Sabrina. Sabrina turned around and saw Jamie and Tisha standing in front of her.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Tisha asked.
"No" Sabrina said. "He's my boss."
Jamie saw Sabrina's gun lying on the table.
"Why do Ты carry a gun?" Jamie asked.
"Because I have a permit." Sabrina said.
"Why do Ты have a permit?" Tisha asked.
"Because I need one to carry a gun." Sabrina said.
"What do Ты do anyway?" Jamie asked.
"What are Ты two doing here?" Sabrina asked.
"We were sent to tell Ты that lunch will be served in about a half hour."
Jamie said.
"OK" Sabrina said. "I'll be there."
"You didn't answer my question." Jamie said.
"It's none of your business." Sabrina said. "Now if you'll excuse me I was just heading out to the stables."
Sabrina, Jamie and Tisha left the guesthouse. Sabrina headed for the stables while Jamie and Tisha headed for the main house. When Jamie and Tisha saw Sabrina enter the stables they turned around and went back to the guesthouse.
The door was always unlocked so they let themselves in.
"Push redial on the phone." Tisha said.
Jamie picked up the phone and pushed redial.
"It's an answering machine." Jamie said.
"Hang up." Tisha said.
"No wait." Jamie said. "I just found out something very interesting."

Sabrina walked into the stables.
"Can I help you?" Kate asked.
"Is Kelly around?" Sabrina asked.
"No, I haven't seen her yet today." Kate said. "Would Ты like to ride one of the horses?"
"Maybe later." Sabrina сказал(-а) admiring a brown horse with a patch of white on his forehead. "He's beautiful, what's his name?"
"That's Brownie." Kate said. "I can have him ready later if you'd like to ride him."
"That would be great." Sabrina said. "I'll see Ты after lunch."

"I'm Mike." Mike said.
"Have Ты worked here long?" Kelly asked.
"Over twenty years." Mike said.
"So Ты knew Paul?" Kelly asked,
"He was my best friend." Mike said
"How did he die?" Kelly asked.
"You sure ask a lot of nosy questions." Mike said.
"Sorry" Kelly said.
Kelly heard the front door of the mansion open. Mrs. Garrett walked out.

"OK" Jamie said. "Sabrina is a private detective."
"Whoa!" Tisha said. "How did Ты find out?"
"The answering machine сказал(-а) something about a Charles Townsend Detective Agency." Jamie said.
Tisha pushed the button to put up the window dividing them from the driver.
"Where are we really going?" Tisha asked.

"Los Angeles" Jamie said. "I want to see what Charlie looks like."

Sabrina went to the stables after lunch. Kate was waiting with Brownie.
"He's all yours." Kate said.
"Thanks" Sabrina said. "You have something on your bandana?"
"What?" Kate asked.
"I don't know it looks like baby powder." Sabrina said.
"That must be what it is then." Kate said.
"How did Ты get baby powder on yourself?" Sabrina asked. "You're not the nanny."
"Why do Ты care how I got baby powder on my clothes?" Kate snapped. "Mind your own business."
"Sorry" Sabrina сказал(-а) as she rode off.

"I found out she is a private detective too." Jamie said. "And so is Kelly, the stable hand."
"Really?" Tisha asked. "The new security guard too?"

"What did they say?" Tisha asked.
"They wouldn't tell me anything?" Jamie said.

Jill walked down to the stables during her break.
"Hi, Kelly." Jill said.

"Yeah" Jill said. "What about her?"
"I think she's my mother." Kelly said. "She has a picture of me in her purse."

Bosley saw a car pull up to the gate.
"I wonder who that is?" Bosley said. "I thought everybody who was supposed to be here was already here."
Bosley looked over at the Список of people allowed through the gate. None of the servants had left except for the limo driver and he came back. The
Warner's were still there. Kelly and Jill hadn't left and he had just seen Sabrina go to the guesthouse. Mrs. Warner's friend Jo was still there and so was Mrs. Garrett.
"Ah" Bosley сказал(-а) looking at the names of two people who hadn't yet arrived. "It must be Natalie and Tootie."
Bosley let them through the gate. After the gate was closed, he turned around and watched the guesthouse blow up.
Bosley stood there stunned and then realization set in.
"SABRINA!"
