Red Scare Mystery - Chapter Two

[The Legonater]

Is it just me, or does it look like these guys were planning a hit?

I would like to touch the map to see how wet it is, and then use my skills as a math student to see how long it's been in the water

[Bob]

They're back! where did you go?

Ask the group where they went

grab the letter and read it to the group

Then pick up the suitcase to see what it holds

Forgot

Gloria doesn't have arms long enough to reach the letter or the suitcase from land. Someone from the water certainly does.

"We were abducted by someone." the Congressman says. "We barely managed to escape with our lives."

[CMP]

Is it just me, or does it look like these guys were planning a hit?

A hit...or a possible commie list. Either way, we know where we're going next.

[CorneliusMurdock]

I would like to examine the hat to see where it was manufactured and if the owners name might be on the label. I would also like to examine the life vest and use my experience with boats to determine it's origin as well.

[Fugazi]

It's a map of Alabatha with the Jefferson Household, the Farm, the Town Hall, and the lighthouse all circled in red.

My farm? What does that mean? Was this son of a commie planning to shoot me down as well?

Congressman! Mayor! What happened to you both?!

[sok117]

I would like to hoist up the raft onto the shore and inspect it seeing as that it is perched close to the shore.

[The Legonater]

While calculating results, I'd like to ask someone to read the letter

[Admiral Ron]

Curse my stubby arms! They can only write papers, can someone please grab that suitcase and letter, and inspect them?

[Bob]

I would like to touch the map to see how wet it is, and then use my skills as a math student to see how long it's been in the water

The map is dry, having been on pieces of wood. It would be smart to take it out of the water before it gets ruined.

James can't seem to be able to reach the hat from his position on land. Someone on the water can, though. It is also very dangerous to attempt to go on the rocks and grab the hat. James does, however, manage to grab the life vest. It's from the same store as the toiletries from the hotel room. A small store in Virginia.

Congressman! Mayor! What happened to you both?!

"I believe I've answered that." the Congressman says.

I would like to hoist up the raft onto the shore and inspect it seeing as that it is perched close to the shore.

Valerie manages to lift the raft out of the water. It is yellow in color, and has a patch that says "Harborside Boats". Other than that, there's no other distinguishing characteristics.

While calculating results, I'd like to ask someone to read the letter

Until someone grabs it from the water, the letter, the knife, the rifle, the map, and the hat aren't able to be used. Stevie could only read the map earlier because it was very familiar.

[CMP]

I would like to get in the HArborside raft, and then paddle to the note. Once there, I'd like to read it aloud.

[Fugazi]

Well Congressman, did you see your attacker? Where did they take you, and how did you escape? Did they tell you anything?

[The Legonater]

The map is dry, having been on pieces of wood. It would be smart to take it out of the water before it gets ruined.

I would like to pull out the map

Snap! So much for finding an approxament location of where these guys were from.

I would like to ask someone in the boat to egt th eletter and read it

[Sisco]

After reviewing the wreckage, I would like to go inside the lighthouse.

That's all nice and dandy, folks, but the commie may still be inside the lighthouse! Let's go!

[Bob]

I would like to get in the HArborside raft, and then paddle to the note. Once there, I'd like to read it aloud.

Officer Fields hops into the Harborside Raft, and slides down the rock wall until he's in the water. Without a paddle, however, he's unable to get to the wreckage. He does, however, succeed in creating waves, which may cause the objects to fall into the water.

Well Congressman, did you see your attacker? Where did they take you, and how did you escape? Did they tell you anything?

"My attacker was all in black. He took me to the Alabatha Department Store, and I was joined later by the Mayor, who was escorted into the Department Store in a similar way as me. He then tried tying us up, but then quickly retreated out of the Department Store. Mayor Bradford and I escaped after that. He's somewhere in town, I believe...lurking..."

Stevie cannot reach the map either.

After reviewing the wreckage, I would like to go inside the lighthouse.

That's all nice and dandy, folks, but the commie may still be inside the lighthouse! Let's go!

Ralph rushes into the lighthouse. It's empty, save for a ladder to the roof where the light is.

It's recommended that one of the younger people jump into the water to try and save the items.

[The Legonater]

I would like to get a paddle from the lighthouse, then join Fields in the baot, and collect the letter and map

[Admiral Ron]

I want to jump into the water to retrieve the letter, suitcase, and map

i'm going in!

[The Legonater]

I want to jump into the water to retrieve the letter, suitcase, and map

i'm going in!

Well, sis- you always were the cocky one.

[sok117]

I want to jump into the water to retrieve the letter, suitcase, and map

i'm going in!

I'll go in to get the rifle and the knife and the crate

[brickme]

I would like to grab the rifle if possible.

If I succeed in grabbing it I would like to know

a)It's usable

b)Is there ammo in it.

c)What kind of rifle.

d)Any engravings?

[CorneliusMurdock]

Hey, someone in the water needs to start gathering up the stuff. I may only read dime store novels on my nights off but I think those are clues. You know, the ones that we're looking for to solve this mystery! Grab me the hat!

[Admiral Ron]

Well, sis- you always were the cocky one.

Yes, that and I am on the Amateur Dog-paddling Team at our school!

[brickme]

I would also like to knock some sense into Officer Fields.

I would also like the knife to be in the police's hands.

[CMP]

Sorry guys.

I would like to grab a piece of wood (without anything on it) and use it as a paddle.

[Bob]

I would like to get a paddle from the lighthouse, then join Fields in the baot, and collect the letter and map

Stevie grabs a paddle, and jumps from the ledge towards the boat. He misses, and falls in the water, getting wet. He manages to climb into the boat. Using the paddle, he's able to grab the letter and the map.

Gloria takes a more direct approach, jumping into the water, and retrieving the suitcase, as her brother had already taken the other items.

I'll go in to get the rifle and the knife and the crate

The Older Valerie jumps into the water as well, grabbing the rifle, the knife, and the crate to keep afloat.

I would like to grab the rifle if possible.

If I succeed in grabbing it I would like to know

a)It's usable

b)Is there ammo in it.

c)What kind of rifle.

d)Any engravings?

Officer Harrison grabs the rifle from Valerie, and helps her into the boat. He determines that it's usable, it's fully loaded, it's a military grade rifle, the type the U.S. Military uses. The only engraving is the Serial Number, 423-431.

I would also like to knock some sense into Officer Fields.

I would also like the knife to be in the police's hands.

Officer Harrison hits Officer Fields on the back of the head. He then grabs the knife from Valerie, making her jump into the water somewhat useless.

[Sisco]

After checking to see that the 4 other guys are behind me, I would like to climb up the ladder.
