Chapter 1e: Henry

Post by HoneyDog »

Henry makes his way to the home of Arkham’s finest in East Armitage Street. It is a small department, and the station is usually not fully manned. However, there is always at least one officer on duty.

Entering the building, Henry sees a man wearing sergeants chevrons behind a desk, looking down at some paperwork.

"Good day Sergeant. I can see you are very busy but I wonder if you could spare a moment of your time to converse about a current case? I'm Henry Glynn, the author."

The sergeant looks up. The name tag on his chest reads Waters. He looks at Henry quizzically.

"Anyhow I'm working on a new novel, which features a Segeant such as yourself. He's the hero see. So I need to know how he goes about investigating a case and what he finds out. This Charlton case would be a fine example."

Waters beams with pleasure. “I have to say, it was a great pleasure to read your story! Really thrillin’, you know.”

His voice drops a notch. “I have to admit, I’m a big fan of Weird Tales and that H P Lovecraft, so your book was right up my alley”. He smiles again. “I heard you was living here in Arkham.”

Suddenly, his brow furrows with suspicion. “But how do I know you’re really Henry Glynn, and not some shyster, eh?”

"Who else would be able to tell you that the reason Olivia sells the Sarcophagus to Joe is that she believes it's from Sarnath!" says Henry, confiding a hidden plot detail.

“Oh!” chortles Waters. “Who would’ve guessed that!” He looks very pleased.

He leans back in his chair. “So you’re interested in the Charlton case, eh? Listen, it’s still very fresh so we don’t know much. And of course, I’m not on the case personally, am I? But I have heard that there’s an odd thing about it. He went missing for a while before his death, but someone saw him, indeed was attacked by him, but it was after the coroner confirmed the time of death! Good material for you, eh?” He winks.

"Absolutely. Do you know where he might have been before he went missing? Was he mixed up with anything unusual?

“Well, the investigation is still in its early stages you understand, and I can’t give you too many details, both because it’s confidential and because I just don’t know. We are treating it as foul play, I can tell you that.”

Waters winks. “Look, stop by in couple of days and maybe I can tell you a little more. And do let us know if you hear anything, eh?”
OOC:   Henry won't get anything else from this end, but at least he's made a contact that might be useful in the future.

Henry thanks the sergeant and promises him a signed copy of his next book. He'll call on Biff Williams next.
OOC:   Feel free to delay things and have Henry run into the others first.

OOC:   Would you prefer Henry to meet up with the others first then? You have to find out where Biff is anyway.
