Hawkins-chapter 3

[kabukiman]

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.

[Mr. Handy]

"Thank you, and good morning!" says Alicia. "Let's go see him."

[Snapper]

"The mother, I'm guessing. We got an address?"

[Mephistophilis]

'She seems a bit happier. Maybe they've found the boy?' notes Rose hopefully.

[Mr. Handy]

"I hope so," says Alicia, "but wouldn't she have told us if they had?"

[kabukiman]

Miss Andrews gives you the adress.

[Mr. Handy]

"Thank you," says Alicia. "Can we get a ride, please?"

[Snapper]

Jalapeno looked at Alicia. "Actually, why don't we take our wheels, save the department here some tyre rubber and gas. And that way, we've got everything we might need." Privately, he gave her a meaningful look.

[Mr. Handy]

"Oh, yeah," says Alicia. "Good idea."

[kabukiman]

OOC: Cam we advance to the mother's house?

[Mr. Handy]

Yes.

[Snapper]

Yup.

[Mephistophilis]

OOC:   Yep

[kabukiman]

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.

[Mr. Handy]

Alicia heads closer to the house, trying to overhear the discussion.

[Snapper]

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.

[Mephistophilis]

Caught indecisively between Jalapeno and Alicia, Rose eventually moves cautiously towards the house, keeping a good distance back from Alicia, well aware her skills in stealthy movement leave a lot to be desired.

Alicia: roll listen.
Jalapeno: roll spot hidden.

[Mr. Handy]

Alicia has no problem hearing what they're saying.

Success.

Inserting a fresh toothpick, Jalapeno started prowling the garden and outside of the house with eagle-eyes.
