Chapter 41 same time as Ch39,40
OwenI get in North's jeep we drive down Uncle drive to the gate Nathan gets out and opens the gate. He gets back in. We first drive to the big plantation house. Wow its still there. Just looks spooky like the hospital did when we found it. We all get out and look around.
"Well I was sure it would be down to the ground by now. Maybe who ever owned it before the bank did work on it. Everyone be careful. Remember rule of 2. Stay in at least in groups of 2 people." Uncle saids
We walk around the house. It had to have looked magnificent in its day. Me and Uncle walk up the steps. I unlock the door. We go in. There is sheets over everything. Dust all over the sheets. Uncle went to one and lifted it. The most beautiful table was under it. This looks like I think was call foyer or something. We find like a living room type room, but more formal. Uncle started jumping around I give him a what's wrong look. I thought bugs might been getting him.
"Sorry my boy I was jumping to see if floor was sturdy. This is like the house that time forgot. There's don't seem to be any weather damage. Let's keep going. I know the others want to see. I want to see what's under everything, but it have to wait until you buy it."He saids.
He keep going, we see a door going to the garden outside. He look outside it's over grown, but in the middle was a fountain. Wow it can't be.
"Uncle go get Sean quick please." I asked him. I just stare at the fountain.
"Owen what's wrong Uncle saids to get me. What! How it's the same. Can the hospital once belonged to this family. Which way is the hospital?" He asked. I pull out my phone and pull up maps and put I address in then I pointed same way the unicorn's horn was going. I see Sean get on the phone.
"Dr Roberts are you busy. Good can you go to the unicorn fountain I'm going text you a address. Type in the address in to maps. Then tell me if the horn points in the same direction please. Thank you I will explain later. ....... Yes? It does thank you. It's a mystery that's for sure." He hung up the phone.
"Well it does this way but he said the chest of the unicorn points more this way. He said the head and horn is turned slightly he saids he not 100% sure but could be pointing to the Morgan estate."Sean saids.
Wow ok. I look at him. "I guess something we need to figure out. Could this be from Victor's family? I guess we keep looking." I say.
We go back in and walk to where Uncle and Nathan is.
"Sorry about that Uncle. That unicorn fountain is same as the hospital. It's points in the general direction as that one does here. But that's a mystery for another day. Let's keep looking." I say.
We head around the corner we come to a big double doors. The doors were beautifully decorated of carved picture of a baby sleeping on a pillow the baby's knees are underneath, its butt in the air. We open the door when we go in a very large room. In one corner with sheets overtop them was what look like rocking baby cradles and a changing table. Another had a couple cribs and another changing table. Another corner had small beds and last corner had toys. Other corner had toys it looked like. We see some doors we open and find small plain room with 2 small beds. In another was a closet which looked like old sheets and bottles of stuff.
"I bet this the room they called the family nursery. Look like all the babies stayed here until they were not toddlers and knew how to be good little kids." Sean saids. We nod and turned around and head back the way we came.
We reenter the first room and go the other way. We see a room that might be a ladies sitting room. It had bright light from a large dirty window. Also had dainty furniture. We go to the next few rooms that look like offices maybe. We make another turn and we find another beautiful set of doors. We go in and find a massive ballroom. We go back to the main room.
We go up stairs carefully. The stairs were massive thick dark brown wood. On the landing we see another sitting area. We follow one side and there was a small bedroom then another massive set of doors. It was a massive bedroom there was a big bed. Past the bed was a door. We go to the door and walk in. It was a massive closet one side had what looked like summer dresses. Back of the closet was lots of Ballgowns all the dresses looked dusty and limp. But the room is dry and air is still. We turn and go back and go the other way. We find 3 bedrooms with ladies dresses. Not nice ones like the big one. Past the 3 bedrooms is another big room. In its closest was men suits. We go back. We decided to wait on the other floors to have them inspected to make sure they were safe.
"This place is amazing." Sean saids. We all agree.
We all went back down the stairs and headed outside. We see the other guys walking around the other buildings. They came over to us. Max is with North and Silas looking happy as always.
North came over with Silas.
"We checked in back of the house. There is a big room with brick ovens looked like they cooked there. You told me the kitchen was detached from the house. There is also what I think used to be a well. The rocks have fallen in. Might still have water. So be worth seeing if drilling next to it will have water. There is also what might been the bathhouse you talked about. Little farther away might have been a outhouse. We didn't go in the bathhouse. The roof has alot of leave and branches. We didn't want risk opening the door and the movement make it fall in." North reported.
Axle and Brandon tells us, "We checked the horse barn and carriage shed. We saw alot of old horse harnesses, but no wagons or carriages. But the shed is massive. I think if its stable we could concrete the floor and put work out equipment in there. Maybe do a climbing wall in there. The horse barn looks good maybe. There are big box stalls and straight stalls. There's fallen fences behind it makes me think it was the pasture."Axle saids.
Luke and Jason reports. "The chicken coop's roof is off. The pig area is not any better. There some other buildings might have been for feed and equipment. Might be some salvageable wood its pretty much not useable." Jason saids.
Raven, Corey, and Marc reports. "We saw alot of building that look ready to fall. The big animal barn looked like was set up for milking animals cows and smaller milking area maybe goats. It looks in pretty good shape overall. We found a overgrown pasture with young trees growing. Probably from the trees around here. Also was what might have been a vegetable garden. Out beyond looks like old dried out cotton plants. There's what looks like indigo plants." Marc reports.
"The main house is impressive we only went to the 2nd floor. We didn't want go higher with out someone checking if it is stable. Let's go to the other house." I say.
We all get into the vehicles and drive back towards Uncles then turn up another dirt road. When we came to the building we stop and get out.
It looked like a more modern mansion. But its really run down and sagging. The out building were not looking good either.
We suddenly all got messages. I looked
