IC Scene 9 - The House Part 2

An old house is shrouded in dark rumours and fearful whispers. Its past residents have all had grisly experiences in there, and the few which are able to speak of it will not. Now, pulled in by the promise of money, several investigators try to find the house's dark secret.

Karl Werner

"Help!" calls Karl. "Marrison's hurt badly. We need a doctor!"

He kneels carefully beside the man, watching out for shards of glass and feels for a pulse. I knew we should have waited until morning.

Calum:

Gasping and panic-struck, Calum blathers to Andrew: "Help me get this drunk flapper into one of the cars!"

Calum then hollers at Werner: "Hold on a minute Bosch and we'll come round to help you! We need to get Dan and the girl to the hospital!"

Calum's plan is to get the girl into Werner's car then go around the back to help Karl lug Dan into a car.

[ooc - Remember, Karl's car is just a two-seater. Can Calum drive?]

After Andrew and Calum deposit the girl in Karl's car, they run to the back to help pick up Dan. With all but Karl's flashlight lighting the surroundings, they see Dan's bloodied body and improbably shaped leg. They wander the maze of jutting glass shards and help Karl transport Dan to the other car. Andrew goes back to get the first aid kit to patch up the poor chap while driving to the car. Andrew stashes his bagel cars (weird, the guy sells bagels?) in the living room and turns off all the lights before leaving. The fireplace will go out on it's own. As he leaves there is more thumping to be heard upstairs which only makes him leave faster.

If that'll be all, we'll FF to the next day.

OOC: Calum has a 25% Drive Auto, so can drive Dan's car, with the recumbent Dan in it, to the hospital, albeit with no great skill. Am happy to draw the curtain over this sorry scene and FF to the next day.

Karl Werner

Karl pulls up in front of the old house and switches off the Bearcat's purring engine. He stares at the front of the house and imagines waves of baleful intent radiating at him. He shakes himself free of his reverie and climbs out of the car.

"I don't want to be here too long," he tells Andrew, "Let's get the painting and carry it out here in the sunshine - or at least the open air," he adds, staring up at the gray overcast, "All I want is to try to find the artist's signature, then we'll set it aflame. I have a can of gasoline in the boot."

That said he trudges heavily to the front door.

Karl Werner

Turning the key in the door, Karl takes a deep breath and pushes it open, listening for a moment in case there is any thumping or other untoward noise. Once he's satisfied that the house is quiet, he enters the hallway and looks about for something to block the door open; he drags a small table over and sets it against the jamb. SWatisfied, he goes down the hall to where they had left the painting.

He finds it stashed behind the sofa and lifts it out, careful to only look at the back, which he studies quickly to see if there's any gallery tag or artist's name.
