"Like I said good idea Teach, i am just talking about after the Ju Ju house. Kind of like 'thinking out loud', see."

"Ahh. My apologies, "Shorty." I agree - once we exhaust our "New York options" we should head to London, and then work our way east. So to the harbor, then?"

"Right then, if everyone agree's lets be off and then come back here later tonight! Hopefully we can shed some light on this subject."

"Yes, I wouldn't mind a trip back to England. But have we exhausted all our investigations here?" says Thomas.

Any chance of getting a copy of the Times and finding out if the press has more about the murder?
OOC: Been a Newshound for a while. Looking for more volunteers to help out.

Joe looks at Carter and nods. "Agreed. Let's check out Prospero House Publishing and this Jonah Kensington before we come back here tonight. After that, if we've exhausted all other leads, I suppose we could go overseas. I haven't been back to Europe since I left."

"I think I shall pay a visit to the police and do some research on the murders. The policeman yesterday said it had happened before. We must find out who the victims were, and who the killers were as well," says Thomas. "And a visit to Elias' family? Did he have anyone here? Any word on a funeral?"

"Perhaps the Father would like to come with me..."

"And that picture of a ship, I could take a journey down to the docks and ask a long in the tooth sailor. They might know where there is a harbour such as the one pictured. And perhaps some annals of such a ship... what was it? Danmark?"

"Sure, I'll go with you," Joe says to Thomas. "We can speak with the police, check out the newspaper, even speak with his family if he has any in New York."

Looking in the current New York Times, you find a article about Jackon Elias' death. It states that he was attacked and killed by robbers in his hotel. It also says that the robbers where confronted by some friends of Elias' and a gun fight broke out in which two of the murders where killed and one captured. The captured man later hung himself in his jail cell. The article also states that Elias' funeral will be Sunday January the 18th at 1:00 PM at Laural Hills Cemetary .

Professor Carter knows that Jackson had no family.

Thomas and Father Joe go to the police station and you find Lt. Martin Poole, the policeman you talked to at Jackson's hotel.

"Oh hello, what can I do for you?"

Professor Carter, Shorty, and Hamish go to Prospero House, a publisher of books having occult or fantastic themes. The offices of Prospero House ar located on Lexington Avenue near 35th street. A blonde haired man with a full beard

comes up to Professor Carter and gives him a hand shake. "John, good to see you. But I wish it was under better circumstances. It's terrible about Jackson. Though the way he lived his life I am hardly suprised it ended like this. Oh, who are your friends?" He turns to Shorty and Hamish. Holding out a hand he says "My name is Jonah Kensington."
