"Good afternoon," Solomon begins. "I'm Agent Solomon Brown, and this is my partner Agent Andrews. We are here as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Felix Royos back on July 6th. We'd like to talk to you, and your manager if you have one, to see if we can figure our what happened to him. Did you know Mr. Royos at all?"
Solomon will continue with an interview regarding Royos himself, the night in question, whether there are any security cameras at the station (and if so, what the status of the tapes are from that night), or if anyone was on duty the same time as Royos on the night of July 6th. He also would like to know what policy is for attendants servicing cars at night - whether they ever go out to pump gas, whether there is a security window/cage, whether attendants are ever armed, whether there have been hold ups or any other crimes against attendants at night here in the past, etc. (Solomon is from North Philly, where the concept of an attendant simply sitting behind a counter without some form of protection, be it a cage, an alarm or a shotgun, simply boggles his mind)

Andrews subtly shakes his head at Brown's approach to the rural attendant. City boy, he thinks to himself. Andrews will let his bilingual partner do the talking here while he starts to search the lot. The one advantage that the have on his victim over the others, is that they know exactly where the abduction took place. Right here.
(OOC- Search +13. Let me know when you get tired of me posting that. I never will.
)
Still, Andrews can't shake the feeling that they're barking up the wrong tree today. His plans are to interview the Begay's neighbor, and then spend all night on paperwork. Autopsies to look over, the bizarre email, and then the Houston file. Houston, Andrews thinks to himself, are we going to have to fly there too? And West Virginia? Shoulda packed my *CED* kickin' boots.

The young man stares at you and your badges for a few seconds. His mouth is open and his eyes wide. "Well......sure.....officers.....I......" He closes his mouth to swallow. "I knew Felix. Though we never really hung out together. He worked nights and I did the day shift thing." He points to a video camera on the wall behind him. "It's just for show. It is not connected to anything. We never really had any trouble here other than a few drunks coming in to buy beer. The manager Mr. Patel is not here at the moment. I think he drove into Phoinex for some business. The pumps are self serve. There is a shotgun under the counter here but I don't think we have ever had to use it. Felix's girlfriend Sara found the shop empty about 3:30 the night Felix disappeared. She usually come over to talk and stuff during his shift."
Looking in and around the gas station nets no new clues.

"OK Brown,", says Andrews, "let's regroup before we waste the whole day. I guess these AZ troopers aren't quite as incompetent as I thought. Or maybe our bad guys are just that good." Andrews leans on the car in the hot sun, smoking yet another cigarette. He pulls out his cel phone and calls DC. "Mason. Andrews here in Phoenix. No, nothing on the ground yet, just a lot of loose ends.", Andrews says into the phone in the one sided conversation that Brown overhears. "Hey, we've got a serious lead that's taking us to Houston. What have we got over there? Think Phoenix can live without us for 48 hrs. while we check it out?" Andrews raises his eyebrows to Brown, as if expecting approval or commentary to his plan.
Meantime, it's the same plan as before. Review the Houston case, research the emails source, and call the University, and possibly make a nighttime trip to the morgue for a firsthand look at the bodies.

Brown looks a little uncertain, gesturing with his finger, pointing down as if to say, "I still think we want to be here." After Andrews hangs up, he explains himself more fully "They were definitely in Houston - but the killings there stopped when the Bravermans and their accomplices left- we both think people who do this *CED* aren't just going to stop - they left so they could do it somewhere else when the police got close. It's not a cold case there, but it's not hot like what's going on here. Do you agree with me that it's still happening here? And will, until we put an end to it?"
"I don't mind going to Houston, but only if we're sure these freaks have moved on from here and we don't know where they've gone to."
"I think you're right about our work today - review what Houston has to show us, apply it to what we've found here and what's waiting for us at the morgue.
"I want to hear what the cult angle yields you, too." He pauses a second, "I had a thought about that, by the way. Stop me if it's not worth following up, but, ah, I've been trying to figure some way that email is connected to this case. All I can come up with is some cults look at stuff like meteor showers - astrological events, stuff like that - as significant to their beliefs. there was that guy in California who preached a comet wasa spaceship that was going to carry him and his followers to Heaven before they all killed themselves, right? So what if some group looked at this meteor shower in the same way? Maybe some group takes it as a signal and it sets them in motion? I'm thinking of looking back to the time and place of that shower, looking at cults and groups in the area, maybe just disappearances, that match the pattern of Houston and here...unless of course the techies get back to us and say the email came form some fourteen year old kid with too much time on his hands..."

"OK, we'll put our trip to Houston on the back burner," says Andrews, "but I'm going to try to get somebody in the Bureau to help us there." Taking another drag from the cigarette, Andrews says, "The problem that I have with staying here is that we only have 2 physical sites to investigate. Otherwise, we're waiting around for another disappearance, and my cel phone's gonna ring just the same. It's not like we're going to run into the perp at the 7-11, we're not on the beat here."
Andrews opens the car door, "*CED*, I'm starving, let's find something that resembles non-Mexican food and get to work on those files. Three days here, and Montezuma's already taking his revenge.", he adds as he shuts the car door, fumbles for a large bottle of Tums in the glove box, and cranks up the AC.
(OOC-Wow that's a double trademark violaiton in one post! Anyway, Gomez- no need for us to roleplay dinner. At this point, we're ready to pound the papers and do a bit of pencil pushing. You have our laundry list, right?)

I think we also want to dig around in the Bureau to see if we have any contacts: a) in Houston, b) in cult/militia activity in the SW. That's a lot, more than enough for now.)

(ooc: in addition - Check FBI contacts, or available police records for similar bodies - blood loss, cannibalism, etc. Cult/militia activity not only in SW, but in West Virginia area if there is time.
BTW, I'll be out of contact for the next couple days (from this afternoon to Saturday), but I'll try to check in if I can)
