Since the Nazis were likely going to be in the studio for some time, John took no unusual steps to get onto the grounds. He went to some nearby stores to kill time, made sure he was back at 11 am, and checked to see if there was an opening for him.

"I'm Fred RedBear. Nice to meet you," Charlie stuck out his had and shook the Dollmaker's.
"Let's take a stroll, what do you say?"
Charlie will strike up a conversation. Attempting to steer it in the direction of America being a foul and corrupt place, to get the Dollmaker to talk about what and why he is doing what he is doing.

John easily finds shops to kill time. At 1055 John notices a tour bus shows up at the main gate. The bus driver is checking in with the guard and john approaches. A tour guide exits the guard station and John sees the guide speaking with the coordinator on the bus. He asks to join the tour and the coordinator says there is room and john is charged the $5 fee and is allowed on the bus.
meanwhile at the park the doll-maker walks a bit and after some small talk he says, " america is a corrupt place but it is my home. There is some beauty here. I love making toys and dolls for children, I wish i could make them for all of my children. The thing is they are always in danger. You would not understand I am sorry to bother you with this. I have men coming for me soon so I need to be heading back to the hotel. "
( the time being 10 AM for charlie)

"Just a moment, if I could. What do you mean by 'all your children'? And why are they in danger?" Charlie said. "Don't worry, you're not troubling me at all."

the doll-maker says, " well my grand daughter who is with that man is not her father but her protector. I had a young lad as an assistant and two masked men killed him. Then there is Anya, my factory worker teen, who died in the factory fire a couple of nights ago. "
( charlie can tell the the dollmaker thinks his toys are his children)

((Later...))
John paid for and started the studio tour. He was willing to take the tour legitimately for at least the first half. He did ask if Teresa Harris was filming there today and if the tour would allow them to observe the filming.
If it didn't, John would ((burn a stunt)) to slip away and observe from the shadows whenever he was closest to the filming.

"Why is your grand daughter with a man who is not her father? Wouldn't she be better off with you, her family?"

The dollmaker stops and says, " she does not have a father. In fact I am her father or creator." Then just for a moment he stops and says, " sorry didn't mean to trouble you sir. I really have to be going. thank you for the escort but my vehicle is close by. As the man turn away his right hand moves to a pocket, apparently something is in his pocket. The dollmaker looks nervous and possibly panicked
John is still going through a mans apparel selection at one of the department stores. The work clothes are nice but a little pricey

Charlie looks around quickly. Does the old man look panicked because of something or someone he saw? Also trying to keep an eye on the old man, incase he pulls something out of that pocket.

the old man seems to be more of in thought then looking at someone. He pulls out of his pocket a gold watch and flip it open. He says, " sorry lost track of time. I am going to be late. Sonny if u want to escort me to my car that would be nice."

"Absolutely," Charlie said. He makes a note of make/model/color/license number and any other distinguishing marks on the car.
As the old man get's into his car Charlie asks,"You know, I have to get my nephew a gift for his birthday soon. Where's your shop? I think a toy from you would be just the ticket."

the dollmaker thanks charlie for his company and help. He enters a green Chevrolet 4 door car.Charlie gets the make and model and also recalls Echo's information of the get-away vehicle from the last encounter with the doll maker. The dollmakers says, " sure I definitely can make him a toy. For your company let me know what he wants and it is on me. " The dollmaker gives the shop address which is the same as our heroes fought him the last time.
The dollmaker parts company and drives off. It is right now 1030 am. Where does Charlie go next?

Charlie hurries back to the hotel, gets his motorcycle and cases the Dollmaker's shop.

Charlie makes the drive and arrives at the shop at around 11:30 Am. Surprising there is no police tape blocking the entrance and there is no police officer on duty. The shop is dark and there is a sign posted on the front door saying " closed due to remodeling". The Doll makers studio apartmen on the balcony is dark. The alleyway where the doll maker car came from is empty.
While Charlie is casing the "joint", John is leaving the department store and is heading to the studio

Charlie will find a place nearby, restaurant, coffee shop or similar where he can observe the toy shop until around 2 pm (preferably with a radio where he can hear any news). If nothing happens by then, he will head back to the hotel.
