It is 6h30 AM when you awake. You arrive some time latter to the police station. Miss Andrews (who seems much more high spirited than in the first day) gives you a message from the chief to go directly to Miss Byers house, he will be waiting for you there.

It is a quick ride to the house; you take the main road the east, leave the town and pass by the woods; you leave the main road on a secondary road and 300 meters latter you arrive. The house is made of wood, old and has seen better times, but has a small garden. Theres is also a small cabin near. There are two cars, one is from chief. You hear some shoutings like if people were having a discussion.

  The way Jalapeno saw it, if this was a normal job then the parents would be high on the suspect list. The dirtbag dad probably already crossed off after yesterday. That said, he and his colleagues wouldn't be here for a normal job.

Either normal job or 'DG Special', the missing kid's home was definitely high on the suspect location list.  
Jalapeno got out of the car, stretched and started strolling around the property. "Doing a perimeter check first," he called to his colleagues, looking carefully as he went.

You see that the cabinet is open and you quickly enter. There are several tools, books of history and science for kids... and a strange mark in the upper wall, like if it had been burned from the inside. Except it isnt burned: you simply cannot undestand what it is.



Alicia
You hear the chief shouting with a women.
"What do you mean the lighst are talking to you? That doesn't make any sense!"
"I'm telling you, Will is alone somewhere and he uses the lights to comunicate with me, I'm not crazy!".
"I understand you have been suffering a lot of stress and until we find..."
"I'm not crazy!"
"I'm no saying that Joyce, but you haven't sleep well this past days, and you cannot tell a story like this to the fed or they will think you are insane or worst."

Jalapeno walked back to where he could see Rose then indicated by hand gestures that he had something to show her (the traditional two fingers pointed at his own eyes then a gesture in the direction of interest).

Jalapeno will show Rose the weird mark assuming she comes over.

"I have put a letter with a lamp, and we comunicate by this way; he light up the correct lamp each time a letter to make phrases. It takes time. "
"Those are christmas light that light up automaticaly".
"No, they are not, I dont' have money to buy those. Besides I told you, I heard his voice in the phone."

Jalapeno quickly sketched the design of the strange mark in a small notebook. He tried to figure out where the other side of the wall would be to see if the mark was visible on both sides.

  Is the other side of the marked wall inside or outside?

Jalapeno takes the Chief to see the strange mark. "Look, I can't explain this but more importantly our EPA forensics expert, Bradshaw, can't explain it either, so I think it matters. Have you seen anything like this around town before?"

"Do you have problems with religious extremists here abouts? You know, cults and the like, Charles Manson wannabes, that sort of thing."

  If the Chief tries to head back to the mother of the missing boy, Jalapeno will start talking about getting a warrant for the power station place to delay him.

"It's not a burn mark at all, far as I can tell. It's not on the other side of the wall. It hasn't burnt through when it should have. Bradshaw can't identify it and she's the scientist."

"Is there any chance that the missing boy's mother is into oddball cult stuff? That's sort of what this makes me think of. As I said, some Charles Manson wannabe leading innocent people like the kid's mother astray. Those cult nutters are into weird symbols and bad music, as I understand it. Based on the reports I read of the Manson Family's trial."

The chief shake his head.
"No, she has job doing several extra turns to earn extra money because her husband don't suport her, so she doesn't have much free time. And besides, this is a small place, if yhere was a bunch of weirdos doing crazy stuff I would knew fast. We have some small dealers selling marijuana and stuff like that, but nothing serious. When someone starts doing any criminal activity more important, they usually leave to bigger places."
For a moment he looks at you and seems like he was saying something but then shuts and expect for you to continue the questions.

"OK Chief, you know your town. But can you think of any explanation for that mark? Anything, however crazy, I won't judge."

"Which brings me to the next line of enquiry. That power station or whatever it is, it's wrong on several levels. The vans that were at the diner just before the cook got shot, they were at the power station, that's where they went back to. But we're going to need a warrant to get in there, very uncooperative staff. I'm hoping you might know a local judge will help us out with the warrant?"

"What's really weird is they claim to be Federal Department of Energy people. I don't think the DOE runs small town or even county power stations. Nuclear power stations maybe. And considering my colleagues and I are feds ourselves, they were mighty unhelpful."

"Do you have an idea how they even generate power there? Coal fired, hydro?"

"I don't know anything really about the power plant. They have been working here for several years, but never mix with the locals. I guess I never thought about the ubtil today.
About the mark... Well, I don't have any idea of it... but Joyce has been telling strange things but it doesn' t make any sense and I dont' seem how it can be related".


Alicia

She nods and take you to the main room of the house and you see... 28 christmas lights with a letter in each.
"My son is speaking with me. He iluminates a letter and this way he can comunicate phrases. This have already happened twice".

Rose walks up to the lights, looks them over, seeing if they're plugged into the mains power. Whether there's any kind of transformer, radio, or other means of transmission that might mean the kid could be sending messages to her. But it seems more likely it's the stress and anxiety talking.

No, the tech she is using is too basic. But it is not impossible that someone outside could do this (something like in mission impossible).

I'm temporarily insane from the first Sanity roll. Am I free to act?

'Oh shit.'

Rose watches the creature emerge, more with professional interest than fear. But she pulls out her handgun and fires a round into the shifting wall.

The creature is outside of the wall, and somehow (without eyes), it detect you and makes the movement of jumping in your direction.

'Get away from her you bitch!'

Rose squeezes off two rounds at the blind creature.

Rose faints and everything turns black: go to the Upside Down section.


Alice recovers... after a while. She is all alone in the wood.

Alicia stops running and turns back. "Rose!" she calls. "Joyce! Where are you?"

You hear a voice a bit far.

"I'm here!"

You finally find her, in a glade. She seems very scared.

"It's okay, we're safe now," says Alicia. "I was scared too, but we're going to have to go back to the house. We need to find Rose. That thing must have been what took your son. I hope it didn't take her too."

"My son? You think it has my son? Oh my God, we must return to the house now!"

"Okay, stay well behind me," says Alicia, "and be as quiet as you can. We don't want to alert it that we're coming back." She draws her pistol and stealthily approaches the house.

You slowly arrive at the house. There is no sound, only a smell of sulfur

Alicia creeps up to the door, gun in hand, positions herself against the wall beside it, and peeks into the house.

You don't see anything. Except a strange mark in the wall, where the creature was emerging, like if it had been burned from the inside. The smell is very strong there.

"ROSE!" calls Alicia, going inside and checking that the house is clear. "We need to talk to my other colleague. He'll be able to help, and he won't think we're crazy. Let me call the police station and see if they know where he's gone. Keep an eye on the letters, in case your son or Rose tries to communicate with us."

"Then let's go to the police station," says Alicia. "It's not safe for you to stay here any more. If Rose was taken too, there's at least a silver lining that she can find and look after your son."

"Be careful what you say to the police," says Alicia. "We don't want them thinking we're crazy. Don't lie, but we don't have to tell them all the details." She gets behind the wheel of the car and waits for Joyce to get in before driving to the police station.
