I stop, close my eyes briefly, and sigh, venting my frustration, as I turn to face Mr Edmond. "That's all very well, but you have no police training or legal enforcement authority, and if Mr. Gilbert faces difficult questions, which he will, you might sympathize with him. Also, if this turns out to be a kidnapping for ransom, we might be facing some tough customers, and I don't want to put civilians at risk. But I guess there is no harm in you coming along . . .for now. . . to question the neighbors. And after that I was thinking about popping in to some libraries and historical societies, see if anyone can identify the lighthouse from the drawings. That seems right up your alley."

After that I turn and walk away, not waiting to see if Edmond follows, and complete the door-to-door questioning that robertod already responded to. If possible, after that I will check out local libraries and any historical societies that may be in town.

In the Portland area, the most important place hosting books, newspapers and records is the library in the campus of the Gorham Normal School. The campus is located in Gorham, at ten minutes driving distance from Portland. What do you search for specifically?

I am wondering if we can get more help for going door-to-door may be getting the police involved? Michael do you think we could get some uniformed police officers? What do you think we can do in the library? I can definitely go with you.

OOC:

Lwunder, I think we already completed the door-to-door and got the information about the heavily dressed person driving and the boy getting into the car, not sure if uniformed officers helped us nor not.

OOC:

Robertod - I assume I have a car or access to a police car, if not let me know

*gesturing to passenger seat* "All right Mr. Edmond, why don't you ride with me to the library. I want to ask the librarians there if they recognize the lighthouse or know anyone who might, and if necessary look for any books they might have on the subject, such as famous New England Lighthouses or such. But before that I want to stop and see if Mr. Gilbert is in. I think we need to ask him about the car and driver the neighbor mentioned, see if he might have any idea who that was. Also, he needs to tell us about bruises that the teacher mentioned."[color="blue"][/color]

OOC:

If for Lisa is ok, I´ll post these two scenes. The Mr. Gilbert´s one first and then the library.

OOC:

sounds good - I probably complicated things by throwing two tasks out there at once. I suggest we go back and forth on the Gilbert scene and when we think we have gotten everything we can get out of it, we can tell you we are heading to the library, if OK with Lisa. I just felt that talking to Gilbert about the car and the bruises has more urgency to it, even if I doubt he will know anything useful about the car
