Jocelyn takes a look around.

OOC,Spot Hidden roll (60% skill) in the garage: [dice]0[/dice] Can I spend 4 points of Luck to make that a success, please?

Jocelyn,Of course, deduct the Luck

Although the car is spotless, in one of the footwells Jocelyn finds a receipt. It is for the Eden Centre Tesco and dated early in the day on the 11th March.

There are a number of items including cereal bars and other packages of easily prepared foodstuffs, children's clothes, a first aid kit, toiletries, about a dozen DVDs with titles like 'Cinderella' and 'The Little Mermaid', a portable DVD player, lots of energy drinks, and several bottles of Night Nurse (a sedative cold and flu remedy).

Simon,Do you want to spend the Luck?

Kris,You can also roll Spot Hidden

"Find anything?' Simon asks.

Assuming she shows him, he nods, grave. " This shows premeditation, though that was already all but confirmed."

OOC:   I'll keep my luck for now.

Jocelyn shows them the receipt. "It also shows they intend to keep her alive and happy," she says. "That's a good sign."

"Yes, but without the medicine in that backpack, she may not have long," Simon points out. "Perhaps that can help us appeal for her return, but I doubt it. A man was willing to kill himself to get her away from her family, so these are zealots. Though I'm beginning to wonder if they feel they have cause. Most kidnappers of this type would want to harm the child, but they seem to be taking great care not to. Rather curious. Hopefully the daughter can tell us more. Even if she's not involved, she may have a good idea of her father's headspace. "

Burke wanders into the garage and starts rooting around in boxes of tools, 'Just junk' he says dismissively. He flicks on the radio set and is greeted by the crackle of static.

Finally Kris hears back from control over his mobile phone, 'We have an address here in Wycombe, only about ten minutes away, do you want us to send a car or will you go direct from Lewiston's house?'

Before Kris can answer Lewiston's old radio crackles into life and they hear a familiar voice, simultaneously the police radios blare out the same message, 'DS Bates, control here, some additional information on Lewiston, our records indicate a current shotgun license, recommend caution in apprehending his accomplice.'

Burke laughs, 'Thank you control, understood.' He turns off the radio. 'Looks like Lewiston was listening in to the police frequencies, naughty boy. Chances are his daughter or whoever is helping him already knows we're here.'

”Shit!” Kris swore. He keyed his mic again. “Be advised this frequency is not secure!” he warned the control room. “We’ll go to the property but if you’ve got a car closer, send that and we’ll meet them there!”

He looked to Jocelyn and Simon and hooked his thumb back towards the property. “Wrap it up,” he ordered, “We need to get over to the daughter’s ASAP!”
