Freedom City PBP

[Insight]

Freedom Zoo, Feb 14th, Afternoon

"Yea, Emily Diaz, thats right. Her father is really worried about her, he is asking everyone he can think of for help, so that is what we are doing." Century Girl explains, glancing around breifly at the entrance, not really expecting to find anything that the police had missed outside the exhibit.

"Has anyone on the zoo staff mentioned anything weird going on recently? Even something really small? Or been acting funny? Maybe one of my dad's enemies, or the Freedom League's might have been trying to make a point or something."

"Dunno," Zookeeper Barbara replies. "The police were all over the zoo, looking for clues I guess. A detective asked me a few questions, but nothing real in-depth. They didn't mention anything about the Freedom League. What would they have to do with this?"

"Very interesting," Entrapper pushes his hat back on his head and looks around the exhibit. "I'm sure you've been asked this already but when was the last time you remember seeing her?"

Barbara smiles. "Emily? I don't know. She was with the tour group, I know that. And she was definitely with us when we came here."

She walks towards the exhibit entrance. "But... I don't know if the detectives ever came inside the snake exhibit here," she continues. "I guess it wouldn't hurt to take a look inside."

Barbara's radio beeps. She answers it. Apparently, she's needed elsewhere. Barbara wishes you two good luck and leaves you to further your investigation.

"A trap?" Bastion pauses yet again, turning his attention to the goatee-less Nanite

"Perhaps we should try and track down Century Girl and The Entrapper. They proved useful during the laboratory attack."

"yeah that makes sense" he agrees relaxing slightly "does anyone know how to contact them? I'd certainly appreciate the support if we bump into anything too dangerous"

Somewhat distractedly Entrapper tips his hat to Barbara as she takes her leave.

"A long time to be stuck with a...." his voice trails off.

"Shall we?" he glances over at Century Girl as he prepares himself to enter the snake exhibit.

Somewhat distractedly Entrapper tips his hat to Barbara as she takes her leave.

"A long time to be stuck with a...." his voice trails off.

"Shall we?" he glances over at Century Girl as he prepares himself to enter the snake exhibit.

"A long time to be stuck with what?" Century Girl asks curiously, not able to tell if he was talking to her under the mask. "Did they all seem kind of nervuous to you? I get that Emily missing can make people really anxious, but with so many little kids coming here everyday, shouldn't lost kids be kinda common place? Maybe not for this long tought." the blonde girl does concede.

"Was I wrong in assuming that it might have something to do with her father doing work for the Freedom League? I admit I don't really know anything about missing people, was that a bad question to ask?" she wonders aloud, entering the snake exhibit and starting to look through the place, doing her best not to look at the snakes, a difficult prospect since she was trying to look all over for a missing girl.

Nanite scowls slightly.

"Well, I tried to get Century Girl's phone number . . . but no dice. So unless any of you have a plan, we look to the skies? Hmm, maybe I could whip up some kind of tracking device. . . assuming I had a starting point. Too bad we don't know any telepaths."

"A long time to be stuck with what?"

"In a cage, with a snake." Entrapper's voice is still low, but Century Girl's hearing pulls it out of the noise. He glances over at his companion, "she hasn't been wandering the exhibit, or the staff areas..."
He shrugs slightly.

"Did they all seem kind of nervous to you? I get that Emily missing can make people really anxious, but with so many little kids coming here everyday, shouldn't lost kids be kinda common place? Maybe not for this long tonight." the blonde girl does concede.

"They did. The child has been missing for long enough to have the father pleading on the radio. But they haven't looked in places along the path the child took, that aren't monitored by video surveillance," the Entrapper's voice takes on a vaguely judgmental tone.

"Was I wrong in assuming that it might have something to do with her father doing work for the Freedom League? I admit I don't really know anything about missing people, was that a bad question to ask?"

Entrapper pulls his hat down as they make their way into the exhibit. "No. It's a bit of a jump... but it's within the realm of possibility that they're related. And even if it weren't the girl would still be missing." Entrapper pauses looking around the exhibit. He notes Century Girl's furtive head movements but interprets them has having to do with her heightened senses and rapid reflexes.
"Sometimes it isn't such a good idea to tell people what you are thinking during an investigation. The idea that some super villain is plotting something can be a bit disconcerting. Even if they aren't directly involved. But," he pauses, "honesty is a good policy."

Century Girl looked confused at Entrapper's statement, "Why wouldyou think that they wouldn't have looked? I was looking for clues that they maybe missed, not her, since they would have found her if she was still here. I think that means it was a kidnapping, one of her dad's enemies....or maybe just some random..." the blonde heroine says, trailing off not really wanting to say what could be happening with the little girl.

"Too bad we don't know any telepaths."

"actually we do!" Bastion grins sheepishly as he puts his hand in a pocket and pulls of what appears to be a business card.

"I was so focussed on contacting Century Girl when all along I had Entrappers number with me. Perhaps if we contact him, he can contact Century Girl and we can all meet at Wading River Antique Emporium.

Nanite would you do the honours..."

 

[hafrogman]

Nanite sweeps a little bow and takes the card from Bastion.

"Gimme a second."

He pauses for a second as if ruminating on some deep thought. On his shoulder, the nanites swarm for a moment, producing a small little speaker that begins producing a dial tone followed by a series of beeps in various tones.

Your cell phone is ringing. You should answer it.

The Entrapper nods, "Of course. I was just talking out loud. Should probably learn to take my own ad..."

A pouch on his shoulder starts to vibrate. "Someone's calling me," he pulls out a small phone from his pocket.

"Hello?"
