Huang Yan's quick tongue works wonders on the employee, that finally accepts to open up the box for you. "Take your time, Señor", he adds with a smile before leaving.

You quickly search the inside of the box. There are, in fact, three letters inside.

One is a power bill for the Luz Records office in 33 Morelos Avenue.

Then there is a postcard from Mérida, Mexico. It is sent by Dominguéz, dated one week ago. It says: "Departing today for the site. Will write again when back in Mérida".

Finally, there's an unopened letter from Samson Trammel, dated five days ago. "Anticipating another update soon. Where is our product? Where is the new record? Do tell. Hurry. Waiting".

Accounting on the power bill,The office has not been using much electricity in the last few weeks.

Cameron

“Good work Huang Yan” says Cameron. “You saved yourself some money. Try to remember the contents of these, its better if we don’t take anything.”

He fetches some glue to reseal the envelopes of the letters. “With luck, no-one will notice. Alright, return the key to the man and let’s get out of here.”

Huang Yan smiled and nodded in acknowledgement. Remembering the contents of the envelope will be a piece of cake. “I believe it’s time to leave. Who knows, I might even get a few more customers by the end of the day. Did we miss anything else? Any other ‘clues’ to latch onto?”

Cameron

"I don't know. It's interesting that Trammel mentions the new record. Let's see what the others think."

OOC,I'm hoping that they reach the car without incident!

"Sure. Let's go." Huang Yan said, his mind already wandering back to his store. A grin rose.

You return to the car safely.

Back in the car, Cameron relates what they learned to the others.

“It seems that your instincts about that record are right” he says to Holly. “There’s definitely more to it. That makes our visit Estudio del Manana even more vital. I’m sorry to be so cautious all the time, but we’ll need to tread very carefully when we go there, as it’s likely just a front for something else.”

He pauses.

“We’ll have to find out about this Dominguez. Where is Merida? And what is ‘the site’? Lots of questions, and not many answers.”

"Indeed. The streets of Mexico isn't exactly filled with sunshine and rainbows. We will need to be cautious. The worst case scenario is me and Cameron over there gets identified. You guys...I don't know, but we'll need to cover our tracks." Huang Yan said to no one in particular.

Christopher Fontana

Christopher listens as Cam and [Huang Yan[/b] recount what was in the PO Box . "Mérida .. that's the capital of Yucatan, there's a lot of archaeological sites there.. Mayan. So 'site' could very well mean one of those.. but that would be hard to pin-point unless we had more information."

---
"Well, Holly and I have already been poking around Luz Records, we worked up a 'cover story' we can continue with that ... perhaps we had better see what Manana Studio is before we decide , if it is connected to the music industry then we can revive that 'story'." turning to Holly "After all we need to get your dining career under-way.." he winks.

Cameron

“What would they want with a Mayan site?” says Cameron. “Could it be related to their rituals, I wonder? I really don’t know anything about this stuff. But maybe we should get over to the Studios now. I want to find out more about these ‘records’”.

"Of course. Pursuing nearby clues seems to be a logical course of action." Huang Yan said.

"I'm ready to become the next singing sensation," Holly says to Christopher with a grin. "You can take me out of Hollywood, but you can't take Hollywood out of me. When we do head to the Mayan site, I'm your girl there too. I've been studying up on archaeology."

Ian Morin

After a long silence Ian nods in agreement. "I agree. We should go to this studio next."

He lights a cigarette and continues. "Sorry, I was here thinking about the letters we have and looks like something is not working so well between our friend Trammel and his buddy Brooks, right? I mean, first we have Felipe's letter to Roberto, where he says that "Brooks has lost control of things" and "selling is not going well". Also, Roberto had asked Felipe to investigate Luz Records. We get here and Felipe is dead, murdered, with a note in his pocket where he's asked to check if anyone is picking up the mail at the PO Box and, again, asking about Luz Records. At the PO box, which is registered under Brooks' name and Luz Records address, we have a letter from Trammel himself, asking about their product and "the new record", and looking somewhat worried with "Do tell. Hurry. Waiting". We know for a fact that Luz Records is closed so... what's happening? Did Brooks disappeared on Trammel? Maybe he's dead and we have another player here, but... What if Brooks killed Felipe when he started investigating Luz Records and the PO Box? In any case, friends, we're in danger."

"Hey. No one said otherwise." Huang Yan shrugged. Dying seems like a real possibility.

Cameron

"That's a pretty good theory, Ian" admits Cameron."Whatever happens, I think we'll be encountering Mr. Brooks at some point. But if we're cautious, they won't realise that we're down here in Mexico, at least for a while. Now, why don't we head over to the Studio before they close for lunch?"

“Alright, but at least me to be home in time for dinner.” Huang Yan sighed in resignation.
