it is Monday morning and our heroes are awake. At around 730 am, both heroes change and go downstairs to the restaurant where breakfast is served. As they enter the restaurant they see Miss Harris at a table with her two bodyguards. She is being served eggs and hash browns with a side of fruit. She seems to be looking at a script and rehearsing her lines. The two bodyguards are constant lookout of people and they shoo a person away trying to get an autograph. Miss Harris has not seen Charlie enter the restaurant.

"See if you can get her away," John whispered to Charlie.

"Right," Charlie said as he got up from the table. He walked over to Theresa's table, holding his cup of coffee.
"Good morning. I didn't expect to see you here so early," he smiled. "I didn't know the glamorous life of an actress included early mornings." Miss Harris' entourage glared at Charlie. He smiled back and drank his coffee.

as Charlie walked over the two men slowly get up but with a quick wave of the actress they both sit down. She smiles and says, " hello again Charlie, I am up early working on my lines. I have to be at the studio at 930 am. Like I said to you early why don't you join me at the the studio around 430. I can show you around and we then can get dinner?"

"Of course, and please forgive me for bothering you, but could I have a quick word in private?"

Theresa's stands up and smiles and tells her bodyguards to wait at the table and then moves to another table with Charlie. She asks Charlie, " so what is it that you wanted to talk to me about."

"I'll be quick. This is going to sound crazy but and associate of mine and I are detectives of a sort. Not police but you might say concerned citizens. We have uncovered evidence of a nazi plot here in L.A.," Charlie saw what he hoped was not disbelief in her eyes. "Now listen, this is very important. We believe that one of your bodyguards is a nazi plant."
Charlie hoped against hope that she would believe him. ((rolling to make Theresa a SCM...c'mon 11 Charisma!!))

Theresa nods as Charlie is talking and the mention of Nazi has her startled at bit but she regains her composure. Teresa whispers " are you sure? these men were given to me by the studio. With the amount of enthusiastic fans and crazy people, I was given them to watch over me. I don't know them well but I don't think they are traitors. " She looks back at her men and nods as things are going all right and leans in and gives Charlie a hug and kiss. When the couple ends their embrace her golden blonde hair gets caught on her necklace and with some keen observation or maybe blind luck Charlie sees the necklace. It is just for a second but Charlie thought he saw the silver necklace chain looped with a WWI German Iron cross...
John sitting in his table enjoying his coffee see the couple talking and keeping an eye out. Then all of a sudden an old men enters the hotel lobby. He is carrying a small case but what is really strange is they john thinks the man is the Doll maker.
(failed SCM roll/ Save vs plot failed for Theresa, Observation skill rolls made for Charlie and John)

John was out of his seat and moving towards the Dollmaker. He tried to make the interception look natural and unintended, and he was prepared to let the Dollmaker get further into the room to see where he was heading. He was not letting him reach the bodyguards with that case -- he would risk blowing his secret identity to stop that from happening!
((If that happens)) Before DM could reach their table, John would "bump" into DM and try to knock the case out of his hands. Then pick it up and loudly make a big fuss over the situation to draw all eyes on us.

"Okay. You be careful. I'll see you tonight," Charlie stood up and prepared to walk Theresa back to her table when he saw John going toward the Dollmaker. "Wait just a second," he said to the girl, and he waited ready to spring to help the Web.

The web gets out of his seat and then enters the lobby approaching the old man. The old man is in fact the doll-maker and nearby is a bellhop packing a cart with luggage. Using an distraction the web knocks one of the higher suitcases which then knocks into the doll-maker who is nearly knocked to the ground. However with some precision the doll-maker keeps his package which looks like a birthday gift wrap package. The bellhop apologizes to his customer. The web is right next to the doll-maker who is on his knees and is getting up slowly.
Theresa waits with Charlie as both of the bodyguard apparently start to slowly get up from their chairs to see what has happened. Charlie and Theresa are about a table or two away from the bodyguards and the lobby is behind the couple but still close by.
{Save vs plot roll for doll-maker and the web ( more like a luck check)}

John makes a big show about helping the Dollmaker up to his feet. "Here, let me help you with that!" he says, tugging the box out of DM's hands.

Charlie notices both body-guards stand up and head over to Charlie and Theresa area. Theresa gives the " i am all right sign" and both bodyguards sit back down. The old man says " thank you kindly sir for the assistance. Oh I need my package back as this is a present for my grand daughter. It is her 5th birthday." The Doll maker reaches for the package that John has now in his hands

John kept playing super-helpful. "Oh, that's wonderful! But you don't look well enough to carry this. Here, I'll carry it for you to her table. Where is your granddaughter in this room?"
