IC-Chapter 1-All the Young Dudes(Barney/Anthony/Jerome)

[Mi-Go Agent]

"That is weird - what did he do then?"

[Mr. Handy]

"He wasn't here when they finished searching," said Lenny. "He had already left with the detectives. Lieutenant John Yeager, that was the name of the man in charge. It was a uniformed cop that stayed behind to search. Didn't find anything, though."

[Nanonano63]

"Hmm, that really is odd. I don't understand why anyone would want to frame someone like this," Anthony says, more to himself than anyone else. Turning to Jerome, "I think we should definately head to the station. I have a bad feeling about all of this."

[Mi-Go Agent]

Jerome agrees with Anthony. Time to meet Lt. Yeager.

[Mr. Handy]

"I'm coming too," said Mary with a firm, insistent nod.

"Okay, let's go," said Nancy. "But which station would they have taken him to?"

"Well, Police Headquarters has holding cells and interview rooms," said Lenny, "and it's not too far away, either. It's at 8th and Race. They call it the Roundhouse. My guess is they'd have taken him there."

"Thanks." Nancy went outside with Mary and the two men.

Barney Brainstorm,[b]Maxine[/b] turned to speak quietly to [b]Barney[/b] and the hippies at their table. "I'm going to go tell [b]Kathy[/b] what went down and pick her up. I don't know if we'll get there before [b]Mary[/b] leaves, though, and I'd kind of like to talk to her. Do you want to come with me to get [b]Kathy[/b], or go down to the Roundhouse?"

Jerome Padgett and Anthony Scott,Both of you, roll Listen. If you succeed, you may click the spoiler button with Barney Brainstorm on it and read the text, as you'll have overheard the conversation.

[Mi-Go Agent]

Jerome hears nothing.

[Nanonano63]

On hearing this Anthony remembers his conversion with his cousin and asks, "Kathy? Whose Kathy? Not Kathleen Scott?"

[Mr. Handy]

"You know Kathy?" said the short-haired fortyish woman to Anthony. "Probably from school, right? That's where I met her. I'm Maxine Grey."

[Nanonano63]

"I'm Dr. Scott, I'm her cousin. Kathleen isn't involved in this, is she?"

[Mr. Handy]

"No, of course not," said Maxine. "She was just here when the cops hauled that guy out, that's all."

[Mi-Go Agent]

"Coincedences happen, but not usually," Jerome says.

[mikc]

"Well, I can head down to the station with the others and let you know what went down, if you like," replies Barney to Maxine.

[Mr. Handy]

"Sure, thanks," Maxine said to Barney. "We'll meet up at Kathy's and my place. It's at 33rd and Spruce, right near Franklin Field." She gave him the exact address before turning to Jerome. "Yes, there have been a few coincidences tonight. Professor Scott here just happened to come to the same bar where his cousin often hangs out. Are you guys looking for her, or is there some other reason you're here?"

"You got your own wheels, man?" Moonchild asked Barney. "If not, Daisy and I can spin you down there in the minibus."

[Nanonano63]

"Tonight seems to be a night of coincidence. I had meant to talk to Kathleen today, but circumstances came and I've been distracted. We came here looking for a student of mine, it seems we just missed him. And I believe it is time that we found out what happened to him."
Turning to Jerome and Mary, "Well, should we head over there now?"

[Mr. Handy]

Mary finished her drink and placed the empty glass back on the bar. "Okay, I'm ready as I'll ever be," she said, joining the others.

"So am I," said Nancy, putting a comforting arm around her. "Shall we go?" she asked Jerome.

[mikc]

Barney accepts Moonchild's offer of a lift gladly, "Thanks, man; I haven't driven a car since ... well, it's been a while, anyway."

[Mi-Go Agent]

"Yes."

Jeromes heads with everyone else out to the cars.

[Mr. Handy]

Police Headquarters, Franklin Square - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
8:30 PM - Wednesday, July 16, 1969
Maxine got in her car and drove away. The rest of the group headed east in their vehicles. Moonchild, Daisy, and Barney headed off in a Volkswagen minibus with peace signs, rainbows, and flower designs painted all over its surface in a garish mix of colors, as well as a smaller peace sign for a hood ornament. Nancy helped Jerome out of his wheelchair and into a car. Mary and Anthony joined them. Traffic was heavy, and by the time they reached the Roundhouse it was starting to get dark. Everyone parked in a lot near the entrance.

"Daisy and I will wait here," said Moonchild to Barney. "Police stations give off a lot of negative energy."

[Mi-Go Agent]

A sneer starts to pass across Jerome's face when he hears Moonchild, but he pretends not to have heard.

[Nanonano63]

Anthony chuckles, "Don't be ridiculous, it's a building," and heads towards the police station.
