7/5/13: I know he's around here somewhere....
PARTICIPANT: Ironic
Trapper Jack has been busy over the past few weeks. Homes all over LA have been broken into and a great deal of money has been stolen. Ironic was using the time to find some sort of pattern to give him direction but no pattern was found. The only thing that was common about the break-ins was the fact that the people were well off. No one was hurt during these robberies, though on two occasions, the elderly women whose homes were broken into came home. The women were not hurt, but they were frightened. Both were tied up and... oddly enough... served tea. They told the police that "the young man was a little goofy, but so polite."
Ironic was keeping up on these cases by talking to Mike Samuelson (a friend of Loup's in the LAPD), but the lack of a pattern made Ironic look elsewhere for information. He realised that the neuro-psychologist he is working with now had also spent some time working at Arkham. He went to the UCLA facility and found Dr. Charles Marshal. Marshal remembered the individual that Ironic was referring to, but was not involved in the case. His memory of the case only comes from discussions he had with a fellow Harvard graduate, Dr. Kenneth Pryce, who was one of the psychiatrists working with Jack. Marshal picked up the phone and gave Pryce a call and handed the phone to Ironic. Ironic learned in this conversation that Jack was an extreme case in ADHD. Even on 4 times the average prescription of Ritalin, Jack was hard to keep up with. There were also some feelings of abandonment related to parents who were very wealthy and spent very little time with the child. His nanny was his surrogate mother. Pryce could not go into many details, but when asked about housing, he sent Ironic two photographs on file -- the room that Jack spent his childhood in, and the room in the asylum. The room structures were different, but the decorations were the same, down to the curtains in the windows and the bed.
Ironic thought that that was something to work with. He was able to get a floor plan of the original apartment and Marshal suggested that, if he wants to figure out who Jack would need to hire to get the apartment designed, he should talk to Geoffry Evans in the Architecture Department of UCLA. Evans' secretary was a little intimidated when a large, grey skinned man walked into the office. When asked where Evans' office was, she stared blankly and pointed to the door behind her. When asked where Evans was, she pointed to the same door. Ironic went through the door and the gentleman behind the desk looked up from the papers he was reading only to drop his jaw. Ironic calmed the man down and got him to talk about what architects in the area he thinks would be the best to hire to work on a specific design (showing Evans the schematics of the NY apartment). Evans said he could think of maybe 10 buildings in the area which could be used to deal with this architectural design and 4 architects working in LA which could pull it off.
Ironic checked out the 10 buildings and found that 4 had recently had changes. He then looked up the 4 architects. One was in the hospital (skying accident), two were out of the country on other projects so the last name on the list was the one he had to talk to. In that conversation he found out that this architect had been hired 2 weeks earlier to go blindfolded to a specific construction sight and work with material supplied by the person who hired him and with a crew of builders who had also agreed, for an increased fee, to come in blindfolded. The architect was payed 1.2 million for his work and the rooms he worked on looked a great deal like the rooms in the schematics Ironic showed him. But only a few of the rooms -- the 6 rooms in the lower left corner of the design. These rooms were a kitchen, bathroom, pantry, playing room, and bedrooms for the nanny and Jack.
Ironic now had 4 buildings to choose from. Having nothing to direct him to any building directly, Ironic simply started at the top of the list and went from there. Each of the first three buildings had area, but could not be used. There were businesses present in each building which would present the possibility of too many new people showing up and the possibility for each to go through the wrong door in the building. The last building on the list had Trapper Jack written all over it... figuratively speaking. Ironic looked at his watch and thought, 10 pm. He is out on the move at this time. But he is going to be back in the next 2 hours. I have to take the time to figure out the best strategy to deal with this guy. And MAYBE call in some backup.
Points awarded: Ironic 4.
