Roger returns quickly from his vehicle with his equipment. By the time he returns the elderly gentleman has finished vacuuming and has left the room. The woman is still working up on the scaffolding.

Taking his camera, Dunstand wanders to the double doors leading to the main theater with Steve in tow, trying to find anything interesting to photograph. ”We should try and find the hot chick; she probably knows some stuff we could use in our paper.”
 

Something about having untrained volunteers working on scaffolding didn't seem OSHA safe to Gabriel. It was a wonder why Metro's insurance would cover the other girl's medical bills with as fickle as the insurance companies were these days.
Gabriel went exploring around the edge of the theater room, looking for any other lost artifacts of the silver-screen similar to what Macy had found. Maybe Gabriel would get lucky and be able to sneak one out unnoticed. According to Macy, the place was full of them; he doubted they'd miss one more.
 

Gabriel makes his way around the edges of the theater examining things as he goes. His search leads him backstage, where he sees a few of the statues lined up in a row on top of some old boxes. Since it is nearly pitch dark back here, he can only barely see these through the light flooding in from behind him. That is until a soft flickering light catches his attention in a doorway behind the curtains. Drawing closer, he sees a dim image; a dark space walled by more curtains. Beyond the curtains, is a flickering light that seeps in at the edges, like that of an old movie.
 

"Good idea. I've been waiting for half an hour now. I don't want to spend the night on that work. She has entered this door. Let's see if we can disturb her for a moment." Steven walk up to the door under the western stairs and knock on it. "Miss? Can we talk with you a moment?"

After a few moments the door opens and Sara pokes her head out, a phone receiver to her ear and a hand over the other end. "Is something wrong?" she asks in a hush, eyeing the two college students.
 

"Sorry, we don't want to distrub you. There is nothing wrong... well, we would just like to talk with you. If you can gives us five minutes... when you finish yur call..." Steven hesitate a moment, not sure what they will asks for questions. Steven thinks that Dunstand should have a better idea on what to asks, he always seems to know about what he talks about.
 

"Certainly," Sara smiles in response. "I'm going over some donation material with our main benefactor at the moment. It will most likely take about another half hour I suppose," she explains. "Please, feel free to look around if you like. I'll find you when I've finished."
 

"Hmmm... ok." He turns to Dunstand. "Another thirty minutes to wait it seems. I think I'll have to spend my night on that work after all. Is there anything usefull we can do?"
 

One of the volunteers already left, and Sara still not back? Well, Roger needed to know where to look, so he was going to need to risk approaching the lady still on the scaffolding. As he approached he noticed Gabriel had left the room, and it didn't look like

"Excuse me miss, could I bother you for a moment? I was wondering... there was a girl fell from scaffolding a while back. I was wondering if you might know where?"

He looked toward her hopefully.

[sblock]I'm losing track of who's in what room. To my account:
Behind curtains: Gabriel
Theatre: Roger, Vincent
Sara's room: Steven
Lobby: Everyone else
