Arrowhead shook his head. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm alright. I just want to get the crumbs who did this."
"I say we hit the hotel first and hope they are there. Hope we can find them there. It'll take a lot longer to search all the shipyards."

"Thank you, Meyer," John said to his fellow professor. "Let's go," he said to Charlie.
On the way out to his car, John said, "We can go to the hotel right now, since we're checking it out in civilian clothes. I figure, at least one of us should book a room, give us an excuse to roam the hallways, listen at doors, check out the guests coming and going, see who uses the lobby and lounge..."

Leaving Echo in capable hands, the heroes hop into the Web-mobile and head to the hotel. www.martinturnbull.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/biltmore-hotel-promotional-brochure1.jpgApproaching the hotel, it has garage parking and our heroes are let in by the hotel staff. Parking and walking up to the interior the hotel is very very nice and probably expensive. The hotel staff is nicely dressed, the hotel interior is very clean, and as they see a bellhop carrying luggage for a well dress guest, very professional. The heroes enter a very nice lobby and as an elevator open, they can see an employee working the elevator and can determine this hotel has six floors. The heroes now plan there next course of action

"Okay, here's a rough draft of a plan," John whispered to Charlie. "You check in, see your room, come back down and check out the people in the lounge for awhile. I'll wander the hallways and see if I see or hear anyone acting suspicious. That work for you?"

"Works for me," Charlie said. "Let's get to it!"
A few minutes later, Charlie was back downstairs in the lounge. He sipped from a cup of surprisingly good coffee, and looked over the top of today's newspaper at the people there.

Charlie goes to the front desk and gets a room. Since this is early in the week there is vacancy. The room is not cheap $5 and after getting his key he takes the elevator to the third floor. Seeing charlie does not have any luggage a bellhop is not assigned. Going upstairs the elevator drops him off and he goes to room 303. The room is very nice, very clear and spacious. He notices nothing suspicious and heads downstairs to the lobby. Seeing as it is lunchtime the hotel restaurant is open and the smell of hamburgers and steaks make the lobby smell really good. Meanwhile John walks around the first floor and after observing a nice outdoor pool, a nice recreational gym and some nice clean hallways nothing really stand out. The first floor also has access to the hotel restaurant and the main hotel bar. The bar is empty except for the bartender prepping. Now and then there are side tables where newspapers are at and also book of matches that are the same one the Arrowhead found. Right now nothing is out of the ordinary

Fighting back pangs of hunger, Charlie continues to nurse his coffee. "Can't eat right now Charlie old boy. Have to be ready for action!" he thought.
He continued to look and listen for any suspicious activity.

Before moving up floor by floor in his systematic sweep, John checked with a maid to see if there were any publicly accessible rooms in the basement, like any meeting rooms.

Charlie hangs out at the lobby and as he is getting a refill of his coffee sees a woman enter wearing dark glasses. Two men are with her and some members of the press are following her. The woman is finely dressed, fur coat, fur hat, and nice dress. Charlie recognizes one of the press members as the web's newspaper reporter he worked with earlier. The woman goes to the front desk and the attendant gives her a piece of paper and she then heads for the elevator. The two men tell the press that she is busy and will give an interview later. One thing charlie notices though is that one of the men is armed with a pistol and also the woman has very nice blond hair that can be seen when the fur hat is adjusted.
The web finds a maid and she says all of the meeting rooms and two ball rooms are on the first floor and 2nd floor. The basement is used for storage, supplies, dock entrance for food deliveries and employee break room. The parking is done by a side door on the first floor.

"Well that must be them," Charlie thought with a grin. He folded the paper and tucked it under his arm as he followed the group to the elevator. He attempted to get on as the doors were starting to close so the group would find it awkward to leave the elevator.

Meanwhile, John moved up to the second floor via the stairs, paying particular attention to the meeting rooms on that floor.

( rolling reaction roll for Charlie)
As charlie approaches the two bodyguards attempt to block and not hold the elevator, then the well dress lady says in a seductive voice, "no he can enter. He is not a member of the press." Charlie then enters the elevator. The elevator operator asks what floor for Charlie and Charlie gives it. The elevator starts to go upstairs..
On the 2nd floor, John walks around and finds an upstairs ball room which is used for weddings. He finds a couple of smaller meeting rooms which are probably used for out of town business. Also he finds a freight elevator near the ballroom, where probably food is brought up during a wedding or party. Other then normal rooms nothing out of the ordinary until one of the two elevators pass by John heading up. John can see Charlie in the elevator with a well dressed woman and two men in suits. The elevators are glass and clear as how John sees this.

John watches to see which floor the elevator stops at, then takes the stairs to reach that floor. He then moves cautiously towards the elevator, listening for conversation, and trying not to be seen ((will even burn a stunt to hide in shadows, if necessary)).

When asked what floor he wants, Charlie responds with whatever the second to the top floor is.
Charlie looks around and whistles softly. After a moment he says, "So what brings you all to this fine establishment?"
