John sees the elevator keep going up and up he guess that the top floor would be where the nicer rooms or penthouse suites are at. As john gets to the fifth floor he sees the elevator stop and the bellhop says to charlie, "your floor sir?"
Before this Charlie is talking to the movie star/rich dress looking woman. She smiles and says, " I am staying here waiting for the movie I am in to resume production. We have filmed the scenes in New York and now we are in Los Angeles. my name is Theresa Harris the actress and I am starring in the upcoming Cat people." the actress looks at charlie up and down and comments as the elevator hits the fifth floor, " so if you are free for dinner I am at room 603 why not come to my room at 6 and you can show me around LA? "
At this point the elevator is on the fifth floor and John is not seen. As this conversation is going down though during the actresses asking out like John detects a European accent with some of her pronoun cation. She is very good at covering this up but makes a slight mistake with the endings of the sentences. Apparently when she asks Charlie out she slightly catches him by surprise. ( notice skill roll made by web missed by charlie)

John kept lurking nearby, waiting to see how Charlie played this.
((To help keep track: did I need to use a stunt for hiding in shadows just now, or did I make a skill check or achieve surprise?))

The web is hiding using his advance skill ability ( made a skill check no stunt is used). the same skill roll was also made to keep up with the elevator and not be obvious about it

"Well, that sounds like a plan," Charlie said with a grin. "You'll see me at six." The big man stepped off the elevator. He turned and continued, "My name's Charlie. I look forward to hearing about this movie."

John follows Charlie until he's off this floor and then approaches him.
"I observed you made contact; that woman certainly matches the description Echo gave us. It's only morning now, so the next question is, what do we need to do between now and your ...date?" John added with a sly half-grin.

"Ha! Tonight will certainly be interesting," Charlie said and paused for a moment. "A thought just occurred to me. We could loiter in the lobby. Separately, of course, as they don't know you. We'll keep an eye out for our 'actress' and/ or her goons and see if they do anything today."

So hang out until the date? When the date occurs what is John doing while Charlie shows the actress around town?

"I'll do one better," John said to Charlie. "I'll go downstairs and see if I can register a room adjoining hers, and listen to the walls all afternoon."

"Great idea. You do that and I'll hang out in the lobby and restaurant until around five and then I'll come check in with you before my date."

heading back downstairs, Charlie finds a comfy chair and people watches. He eventually gets hungry and enjoys a nice lunch in the hotel restaurant and the quality of food matches the quality of the hotel.
John goes downstairs ( rolling save vs plot for room next to the actress is available) and the hotel hostess says that room 605 and 601 are occupied. The only suite available is 602. That will be $15 a night. John pays for the room and gets his room key. The hostess also asks him to sign in the register and she tells him if he needs to deposit anything in the hotel safe or needs room service that he is top on the list for priority. John goes upstairs and enters room 602 which is quite impressive. This has a nice king size bed, a bath tub that is quite spacious, and very nice decor and very clean. He can hear conversation from 604 which sounds like a man acting out lines from a script. On his way into the room he heard the ballgame from 601.
(any changes to Johns plan. Charlie people watches but nothing seems to be out of the ordinary)

((Wouldn't 602 be across the hall from 603? If so, then there is no reason for me to use room 602 and I would not have done that.))
John goes home for a few hours and goes over his class lesson plans. He comes back at 4:45, with his Web uniform in his briefcase. He goes upstairs, knocks on the doors of 601 and 605. If anyone answers, he says, "Excuse me, wrong room," and leaves. If no one answers, he picks the lock ((skill check, then stunt if check fails)) and goes inside.
If he can secure himself in one of the two side rooms, he will listen at the wall adjoining room 603 until he hears Charlie arrive.
If he cannot secure one of the rooms, he finds a dark corner and hides in shadows ((stunt)), somewhere where he can at least overhear conversations of those heading to the elevators.

John goes back home and finishes his work. As he is about to leave around 415, he sees Agent Echo walking up to his car. Echo had changed his clothes but the Web can tell echo is still in pain. As he is walking up he winces as his ribs still hurt as he moves. He says to John " hey I can't sit this one out while you two do all of the work. I still feel responsible for the fire and these people need to be stopped. "
The rest of the afternoon for Charlie goes by uneventful. Everything a hotel seems normal. The blond actress nor did her two bodyguards came down for lunch. The only instance is when one of the bodyguards comes to the front desk and ask if there are any messages left for his boss. The front desk clerk shakes her head as a no response. Around 330 Charlie knows his date is at 5. Did charlie go home for a change of clothes? Or is he going as is? Surprisingly the hotel is near a Sears and a Marshall Fields department store.

Charlie runs over to the Sears and quickly buys a new shirt and jacket. Shaking his head at the expense. Then back to the hotel to freshen up before going up to meet the actress.

"No, you stay here and rest, Echo. You're not responsible, and Arrowhead and I will make sure these monsters are stopped. Hold on...I need to make a phone call."
He called his favorite student, Rose. "Rose, I need to ask another favor of you. Can you come over to the house and help watch my guest?"
After hearing her answer, John headed out to the hotel ((as outlined above)).

echo is not thrilled with the plan but understands. Rose quickly comes over and helps taking care of echo. ( Save vs plot succeeded for being home and available). John then heads over to the hotel. No one answers the 601 room and john picks the lock and enters (skill roll made). John hears the woman going over what seems to be play lines. As he is listening he hears walking around in the hallway
Charlie gets his new attire and goes back and changes. Around 455 he heads upstairs and goes to the actress's room. He knocks on the door and a man appears. He says, "miss Harris will be with you in a second. " After a couple of minutes she appears dressed in a vary nice, and expensive, red dress. She is a very beautiful blond haired woman. She sees Charlie and smiles and says, "so ready for our date. I am sure you have a car but my protectors insist on driving so we will be taking my limo instead. Unless there is an objection?"
( so what would the web like to do now?)
...................................................................................................
Meanwhile at an undisclosed location the dollmaker is finishing his latest doll. A door opens and a man dressed in a white uniform with Nazi insignia enter. The dollmaker says, " the doll is finished and can fit the explosive perfectly. " The leader looks at the doll and laughs and says, " how can something this small cause so much damage to the american morale. You should have been recruited to our science division earlier, Herr dollmaker. Although your non-pure wife would not agree and would cause problems. Be thankful we have not sent her to the camp in the further land, but since you have been so helpful we have not decided not to do this. However, if these costumed heroes cause you to fail again, we will deal with your wife instead of punishing you. " the Science officer Nazi laughs and leaves.
