The home and yard appears well-tended. Checking the windows reveals no signs of attempted entry. A character generally uses Search to discover clues and Investigate to analyze them, so I treated your roll as Search check and applied a +2 Int bonus. You can resolve the details of Brandon’s call to mom yourself... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Decker manages to pop the pins on the deadbolt and the internal lock on the knob after a couple of minutes. The door opens, the rubber weather stripping at the bottom swishing across the floor, admitting the players to the kitchen. To one side is the dining room, beyond a doorway lies a hallway leading to the living room, a den, and a small bathroom, and stairs leading to the second floor. The house is silent and still.The furnishing are simple, the decorations personal – light pine furniture, photos of family and friends, a couple of framed posters from the Texas International Blues Festival and Poor David's Blues-o-rama, both in Dallas. In the den are a widescreen television and an impressive stereo system, with an equally impressive CD collection. The blues theme is carried here as well: Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Charley Patton, John Lee Hooker, Lead Belly, Robert Johnson, Johnny Shines.Upstairs are three bedrooms: the master bedroom and bath; a second bedroom, adjacent to the hall bath, that is clearly Annalee’s owing to the University of Miami memorabilia, framed photos, frilly comforter; and a third that’s been converted to a study. In the study are a desk with a computer and two bookshelves groaning under the weight of texts on medical psychology, pharmacology, and physiology</blockquote>
