Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
The notebook was RAF issue, and it looked like an appointment book. According to it, he had an appointment today at 1400 hours (2:00 PM) with a Squadron Leader Reeves, and a note for 1800 hours (6:00 PM): "Meet Madeline at Liverpool Street Station. Tonight's our last chance, as I go back up tomorrow." Listed on tomorrow's date at 0700 hours was: "New planes arrive. Going back up with Barrow and the rest of the wing."

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie beams at Benjamin. "I say, well done old boy, you have the eyes of a master craftsman. The others will be interested in this."
"Well, shall we head back to the study, check those last two doors and have a look about down there?"

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
"Yes, let's clear out the rest of the building first, but then we should make sure we do something about that appointment at Liverpool Street Station."
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie and Benjamin went down the two flights of stairs to the study and checked the doors. One led to a water closet, the other to the regular kind of closet. The latter seemed to be full of various odds and ends.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie gives the study and the regular closet a more careful search, feeling they might be rooms containing useful clues, devil-worshipping paraphernalia etc.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
There was nothing of interest in the closet, but both men found some documents in the desk.
Benjamin found some old correspondence stored in one of the desk drawers that the Steadmans had apparently been saving. Most of the letters seemed irrelevant, but he did find one of interest. Holding it up to the lamp, he was able to read it:
"September 25, 1938
Providence, Rhode Island, USA
Dear Captain Steadman,
Thank you for showing an interest in my discovery. To be honest, I had had no idea of its value when I first found it. One finds all sorts of detritus when fishing on an industrial scale, but this is the oddest thing I have ever seen. It looks nothing so much like a tiny coffin, undoubtedly very old. I did not want to risk opening it, for fear of damaging it or its contents, but I had it X-rayed at Brown University. There is some kind of small stone within, perhaps a crystal or gemstone. They believe it to be at least five thousand years old. If you are ever in Providence, feel free to drop by and examine it, though that does not seem likely to happen any time soon considering the current political situation. I fear your country may be at war within a week, and you will doubtless be called to duty in its defense in that event. Should you wish to purchase the artifact, I will entertain your offer, though you will need to make it a good one. There has been interest in it from both Brown University and Miskatonic University in Arkham, Massachusetts.
Sincerely,
Captain Dominick Travers"
Archie found a ledger in another of the desk drawers.

Archie:
OOC: Unexpectedly, Archie has a few points in this skill! But no luck. |
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Being a tailor, Benjamin knows a thing or two about book keeping, but these ledgers seem a bit beyond him.
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Both men reviewed the ledger, but they couldn't see anything that caught their attention.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie pauses to think what else should be done. "Benjamin, I don't think we should stay much longer, we don't want to be discovered. One last thing I'd like to check are their bedside cabinets. I might just do that quickly now."
Archie quietly heads back to the master bedroom to so check.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
"Yes, let's do that. By the way, what time is it now? There's this 6 o'clock event which has me a bit concerned..."
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
The clock on the desk said it was almost 9:00 AM now. They'd been burglarizing the house for most of an hour.
Archie and Benjamin went back upstairs to the master bedroom and checked the bedside nightstands, but there was nothing out of the ordinary in their drawers.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
While they're there, Archie checks under the bed and generally searches the room.
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
"Ok, shall we get back to the others and tell them about the 6 o'clock appointment?" Benjamin whispers.
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie found nothing further under the bed or elsewhere in the room.

Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Archie nods. "Let's get out of here." He makes for the broken back door.
Re: IC-Ep 3-Amateur Burglars(Archie/Benjamin)
Benjamin and Archie left through the back door, into the alley behind the house.
