Jimmy (Graham), Peter (Jordan), Essie (Whitney), Riche (Jon) 11pm Thursday, 18 Sept, 1924 : They struggled to sleep on the train per the adrenaline rush of Riche's death scene. Thus, when the train arrived at Muskrat Rapids at 11pm, they rushed to find a hotel in this small mill town that supports the larger industrialized Pittsburgh 40-miles northwest.  Friday 19th : Midnight and even Riche fell asleep. Only Essie made it to 7:30am breakfast. When the others finally stumbled out of bed, they grabbed dry toast and an apple before heading out. Essie used her charm to gather info from the hotel owner. She learned the storied past of Josephine. No-good harlot that slept with every boy in her classes. Constantly in trouble. Glad when she left for Boston years ago. Her mother lives all alone in that rundown mansion. "Now that I think about her, haven't seen Jane in town for weeks." When Essie called the operator to connect to the Garsetti house, the operator didn...

Jimmy (Graham), Peter (Jordan), Essie (Whitney), Riche (Jon) 9:30pm, 17 Sept, 1924 : Indecision whether to take Andrea to the police station or the Keetling mansion till Riche mentioned, “Two cultists inexplicably burned up in the police cell; we’d best take her to the mansion since we’re going there anyway for our tailored clothing.” Riche opened his medical bag to treat Peter’s wounds, but the PI declined, “I’m alright.”   [To be so cavalier about a third of his hit-points] During the ride, without letting her know he had it, Jimmy asked Andrea some questions pertaining to the diary he found in her purse. “So, you’re an artist, ever done any work in Pittsburgh or that area of Pennsylvania?” Andrea pondered the question, “I was born and raised right here in Boston. Strange that you should ask; Josephine was from that area.” It took awhile for Jimmy to realize the diary was Josephine's; what was Andrea doing with it? But he never asked. 11pm : Riche approached the doorman to...

Hook : Andrew is a businessman and art dealer who works at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts . Riche has been dealing with Andrew as his art supplier for the last year. In fact, he drives to Boston bi-annually to peruse artwork ordered up before actually having it shipped to his penthouse in Arkham. Thus, he is very familiar with Andrew and his sister Sarah who live together at the Keetling estate on the northside of Boston.

10am Friday, July 18, 1924 : Peter Grave’s grandmother called from her home in Bolton, “Dear boy, I hope it’s not asking too much, but I have a new friend that needs your help. Her baby has been kidnapped. I’d rather not discuss this over the phone… extra ears you know.” In the background of the party-line, Peter heard the muffled “Harrumph” of the displeased neighbor Agnes, “Harold, it’s Bessie again, making up excuses for her boy to visit.”   Jimmy (aka Lance Bass) Hoplomania: unhealthy obsession with firearms.
