For love of Baxter

For love of Baxter From: rich Subject: LOST CAT Date: January 22, 2008 1:22:26 AM EST To: burton1 From: baxterthieves Subject: We have Baxter Date: January 23, 2008 1:51:44 AM EST To: rich Cc: burton1 Dear Richard, We have kidnapped Baxter because he smells funny and no one on the floor likes him. If you ever want to see him again, you must meet all of our demands. The first: Prepare a double layer strawberry and dark chocolate cake, and place it on the dining table of the 132 suite at precisely 12:10 AM on Thursday, January 24th. Do as we say, or BAXTER DIES! Love, -Baxter Thieves From: rich Subject: Re: We have Baxter Date: January 24, 2008 9:06:04 PM EST To: baxterthieves Cc: burton1 We have the cake, as requested, in the 132 suite right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASSEE LET HIM GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and have some cake) (and other people too if they want) (its pretty much the most amazing cake ive ever seen) From: baxterthieves Subject: Re: We have Baxter Date: January 24, 2008 11:48:48 PM EST To: rich Cc: burton1 Our demands have been met, we are very pleased with your offering. The truth is, Baxter never really left you. Search your drawers a little bit harder. Maybe behind all the Ralph Lauren shirts and imported cashmere turtlenecks, youll find what you thought you were missing all along Love, -Baxter Thieves And so, boy and cat were united once again, and Rich cried no longer. When I first walked into my room on that fateful day, quoth Rich, holding Baxter protectively in his arms, I instantly felt that something was wrong. Losing Baxter was like losing your best friend, someone whos always there for you. A part of me felt missing, at least Pi/3 radians of my heartIts great to have him back home, and I would like to thank everyone who helped in the effort to find him. Post Tagged #Burton-Conner House
