IC: Ch 4b: Occult Shop (Warren & Jordie)

The old Corbitt 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 to find the house's dark secret.

Puffing heavilly from the exertion, I look at the moving boards that Jordie has uncovered, "Wonder where the hell that leads?"
Listening carefully, but not hearing anything. for any noises from behind the fence I carefully swing the boards open...
Jordie,your welcome, Sorry about the second of the two rolls, bu on occasion Invisible Castle hates me :cry: .

When you look beyond the fence it leads to the rear of several office buildings with an alley that runs behind the buildings and between them. No sign of the fleeing person.

"Hmm", I look over to Jordie but mosty I'm talking to myself, a habit which I tend to display at times of stress, or so I'm told.
"Where the hell did he go to? Ther's no sign of him in the alley so either he, like you said, legged it, or he went into one of the offices, or hes still here".
I look carefully at the ground searching for the smallest clue that might confirm his presence.

You now notice the small piece of fabric that snagged on the rusted nail where he slipped through the fence. He could have also gone down anyone of the 3-4 alleyways between each building. He has had plenty of time to get away or could be hiding right around a corner.
Its after 5 now and the shadows from the buildings make the overgrown allyway look dark and slightly forboding. You haven't had rain in 2-3 weeks, so the streets are dry and hard. You can't make out any fresh tracks.

"Damn" I take off my hat and slap it free of imaginary dust, "He could be anywhere, it looks like a rabbitt warren in there and we could search all night and not find him."
I look back to where the car waits noting the lengthening shadows of the rapidly approaching night. I return my hat to my head, take out a Chesterfield and light it.
"Well, theres no point in staying around here. We may as well cut on over to the library and see if anyones still there"

You walk back to the car without incident, you see its getting to be 5:30 after all that. Still light out once you get away from the buildings, at least the heat is diminishing.
OOC,are you heading back to the museum now or library?

As you drive through the streets, you see the library is already shut down, so you head onto the museum which also looks like it closed recently. You pull around back.
OOC,you are correct. There is a bit of a timing issue getting you back together. Waiting on one group that is about 30 minutes ahead of you time wise, since you are late. They are also late but not as much as you. Once I figure out what they are doing I'll have you jump to the new thread. So just hold on till I post here again telling you to jump. Feel free to Role-play while you wait. Good work guys.

As you pull in behind the museum and enter the office Ms. Patton is not around. When you walk in you see Harrison and Charles in the Lounge.

Go here.
