The door was open. Not just unlocked, but actually ajar. Not exactly an invitation, but close enough. We went in. Flipper was waiting for us. “Thanks for dropping in. It’s so hard to get people together these days. They just seem to drift apart and lose touch. I’m glad you got my invites. It’s just us here. My staff is attending a fund-raising dinner party. They do that often, so there is nothing unusual about tonight. They aren’t hired security, just concerned citizens in attendance. I give them the night off to pursue their civic interests. As you can see, I can provide my own home security.” He casually waved an unfamiliar pistol in our direction to indicate how secure he felt.
