Hawkins-chapter 2

[Mr. Handy]

Alicia searches through the papers, but without success.

[Snapper]

Jalapeno looks around at the various locals. "Have there many other kids who've gone missing over the years? I guess some kids run away in every town and city."

[kabukiman]

"Hum, not here, but in every town nearby there have been a missing in the last years, but as you say that is normal."
Suddenly a new person enter: his eyes are red, he smells a lot of aftershave... and alcool.

[Snapper]

"I think this is the police chief," Jalapeno says quietly to the others.

Rather cautiously, he strides over to the chief. "Chief, Special Agent Martinez. My colleagues and I have been sent to lend a hand. We're not here to get in the way, just think of us as three more pairs of boots on the ground, helping with the search, courtesy of Uncle Sam."

[Mr. Handy]

"And I'm Special Agent Alicia Catera," says Alicia with a smile. "How can we help?"

[kabukiman]

He starts coughing and then speaks.
"I'm Chief Hopper. I'm surprised that you were sent to this case, did you piss of your superiors? Nah, I'm joking, we always complain that the feds don't care and when they send someone we treat you like this. All help will be welcome. Did my people debrief you?"

[Mephistophilis]

'They were just getting started,' mumbles Rose, diplomatically.

[Mr. Handy]

Alicia giggles. "I think we're going to get along great, Chief!" she says.

[kabukiman]

"Well, I was thinking to make a visit to the father, if you want to join me, I'l give you the details by the road".

[Snapper]

"Absolutely, chief. That sounds an excellent plan."

[Mr. Handy]

"Count me in too!" says Alicia.

[kabukiman]

He goes out of the station and enters in a car. After starting the engine he says:
"To be honest we are still in th dark of what happend. Will is a nice boy, good student, never been in trouble. He always hang with 3 other boys who are good kids too. The day he disapeared, they were together in Mike's house playinbg as they usually do; Mike is the son of one of my deputies. Well, they all left Mike's house about 7PM. Will and Dustin rided a part of the road together and then split and Dustin was the last person to see him. I asked the kids if he was worried or seemed diferent, but they told me that he was normal. Will's mother and her other son arrived much latter, near 11. PM an they assumed he was already sleeping. It was only in the morning that Joyce went to awake him, and notice he wasn't at home. She went to the statio, I made some inquiries to be sure that he simply wasn't in some other place and they I give the alert and we immediatly made a search between the place he split from Dustin and his house. We found the bycicle near the house. I didn't say anything to Joyce, but I have a bad feeling about this. Any questions?"

[Mr. Handy]

"What are his friends' names, and where do they live?" asks Alicia. "We'll want to talk to them later." She wonders, considering his statement about a bad feeling, if the chief is a Star Wars fan.

[Mephistophilis]

'What did you find with the bicycle?' asks Rose. 'Any signs of damage? A struggle? Tracks?'

[Snapper]

Jalapeno considers for a while. "Definitely want to see where the bike was found. Chief, are there any problem groups in town? Serious drug users or suppliers, ex-cons, that kind of thing?"

[kabukiman]

"His friends are Dustin, Lucas and Mike; Lucas and Mike are the sons of the two deputies that were in the police station. I have already spoken with them, but I guess it won't hurt. The bycicle was intact but it was in side of the road like if he had abandoned in a hurry and that worries me. We don't have gangs here or orhanized crime. Sure, some kids sell marijuana but it is a very low profile business. You need to go to nearby cities to get that kind of trouble."

[Mr. Handy]

"Yes, we'll want to look at the scene where the bike was found later too," says Alicia.

[Snapper]

"OK, let's see what the father has to say, I guess."

"As well as checking out where the kid's bike was left, and speaking to the parents, might be useful to talk to his little friends too."

[kabukiman]

"Of course I'm eager to see your special interrogatory techniques. We are almost there".
After a while, he leaves the main road, and drives for about a minute; this area is full of dilapidated houses. He stops in one that seems even worst then the local houses, it seems it will crumble anyday, full of trash in what used to be a garden. and says:
"It's here. Enjoy the view"- he says with sarcasm

[Mr. Handy]

"What do you know about the dad and his girlfriend?" asks Alicia.
