August 18 - 11.00 PM - The other side

Portland, Maine
August, 1928.
Steven Gilbert is a wealthy businessman, a leading exponent of the bourgeoisie of the roaring twenties. He sees his heritage project going up in smoke, when Timothy, his only six-year-old son, disappears.
A group of investigators will try to find his missing son. The group may include:

1) Police detectives
2) Private detective hired by Gilbert
3) Relatives or friends strongly motivated to find the missing kid

But Timothy´s disappearance is not the only gloomy burden weighing on the Gilbert family. Alyssa, Timothy's mother, committed suicide one year ago, and the reason for such an extreme action is still obscure.

Ivy seems to calm down, although something still boils inside her. She´s still convinced that her decision would be the best, but she does know she would never be able to convince Kathryn and Michael. Emma stays with the boy and keeps him far from the trio, as far as a the boat space and the capin allows, so that nothing of this conversation reaches his ears.
Little Timothy remains silent and apatic. He just follows the investigators as if driven by a kind of natural inertia, something telling him he has to follow those adults currently taking care of him, whoever they are.

The four investigators return to Greyton in the early afternoon. The small coastal town of Maine is exactly how they left it. The tide falls as they arrive at the port, forcing the boat to stop on the beach. Meanwhile, the patch of fog falls behind them, over the whole bay of Fundy, like a pitiful veil that closes their adventure and misfortune. The fishermen of the first hovels turn their gaze to the small boat, with a glimmer of curiosity, but not enough to divert them from their work of building nets. A group of workers is preparing a scooner to sail to the Atlantic in the coming days. The seagulls scream on the pier, and their noise is confused with the playful screaming of a group of children, who are cackling somewhere in the middle of the houses. The indifferent simplicity of this small seaside town becomes something absurd, located at the mouth of the bay, a few miles away from the abysmal horrors the investigators will never forget.
OOC:   Let me know if the group interacts with someone in the city, or just leave to Boston

"Let's not talk to anyone in Greyton," suggests Kathryn. "The less attention we draw to ourselves, the better."
