Insight's "The Silent Partner" IC

[Insight]

Allan goes into the studio and waits patiently for someone to call his name.
He looks closely at the theatrical scenery of the set and tries to guess what the movie is going to be on. After all, he hasn’t got a clue and he somehow need to try and prepare himself for what characters he is going to play.

David Neal, holding a clipboard, with a whistle on a chain around his neck, approaches Allan. The Brit has the demeanor of someone who's trying to be in charge, but Allan senses that Mr. Neal is unsure of himself.

"All right, let's see... Coleman, is it? Right, this is yours," Neal says, handing Allan a script. "Let's go into the studio, shall we?"

Mr. Neal takes Allan into Studio 13. It has been roughly decorated with white sheets, some of which have been crudely painted to make the place look like some sort of antiquated palace. There is an ornate golden throne on one side of the room. The rest of the place is bare.

Allan finds this script completely different than anything he's read before. It is definitely not in the proper format that's been reading the past few years (although script formats have changed to become more uniform, this is nothing like anything Allan has been before). Allan also notes that many lines and paragraphs have been blacked out.

An old fellow that Allan recognizes as F. W. Murnau emerges from behind a curtain. He shouts in German to someone that Allan doesn't see.

Mr. Neal smiles with evident frustration. "You'll be reading for the part of CHARLES and possibly one other, to be determined."

Allan sees that the dialogue for Charles is the only one NOT blacked out in his script.

"Please take your mark when ready," Neal says, backing up to a spot near Murnau.

Jack shakes his head, and returns outside "Allright, I hope Mr. Martin comes in. He had a very rough night I hear. Next, John Sooner!"

Once the list is done, Jack will let the actors into the studio, and returns to his desk.

Once Jack has gone through the list, he finds that everyone is present EXCEPT George Martin.

Everyone is escorted to the space between studios 11 and 13 to await their calls.

When Jack returns to the front gate, he notices that one of his men, a new guy, John Lott, has not yet reported for work. He is about half an hour late at this point.

With a small sigh, Jack picks up the phone, and calls the number John had given him. I pray he is not sleeping in...

There is no answer on John's phone. Jack knows that John lives with his mother, and it's rather odd that neither answered.

Jack gives a small shrug. He will have to investigate this further once Bill and Chuck came into work. He could not leave the post under staffed. That was against everything he had taught his guys.

Renna watches David, several times almost managing to get herself over the mountain of her own fears and walking towards him...but never quite there. How could she TELL him that one of the actors had been kidnapped? By people who knew about the movie! That...that almost seemed affiliated with it, even. But then, would that mean David knew? Was he part of it? If he wasn't who was?

Finally she couldn't bear the awful responsibility that demanded she tell someone what she saw, and she chose a halfway point she could accept; the security guard. He could call the police, perhaps, on her behalf. Or he might even have had something like this happen in other movies. Or...something.

Jack found himself approached by the young woman who was apparently helping the production. She was fairly pretty, but in a plain sort of way that wasn't accentuated with makeup or complimentary clothing. Or maybe it was just that she looked kind of lost and afraid.

"Excuse me, sir," she started. "I think I know what happened to George Martin."

Jack looked up from his paperwork towards the woman that approached him. Leaning back in his chair, he asks "I would like to know where he went. It is not unheard of to be a little late, but it has been some time now. If I had the chance to work with such a man as Murnau, I would have been here at sunrise." he said, frowning slightly. Well that is one question we might find an answer to.Jack shook his head again and said "Please tell me Ms..? "

Noting that Coleman already entered the studio, Pierson follows him, after looking around what the others around him do. As only Coleman get s greeted and everything, he tries to tag along at some distance.

David Neal stops Pierson before he can enter the studio. "Please, Mr. Pierson. You will get your chance to audition. Don't worry."

Neal leads Pierson to a nearby bench and sits down. "This is all very complex, you know, this movie-making business. I was in the theatre before I got hooked into cinema. I'll probably go back to the stage once this is all over with. Assuming I survive." He laughs a bit at the last comment.

"Last night he was at a club," Renna confesses, then realizes that the guard is asking for her name. "Oh, right. Plumpe. Renate Plumpe. Renna's fine though, that's what I usually...anyway, he was, George Martin I mean, at a club with some very shady looking men. I overheard them talking about kidnapping someone, and now George is missing. It can't be a coincidence. Some of the other actors were there too...they wouldn't have heard the kidnapping part, but they'll remember the shady looking men for sure."
