Episode 11

## Day 5

Scoop left to scoop a scoop. Conrad knocks on the door, which Remy answers. She and PT catch him up on the serial killer matters.

[[The robed killer was not the goat-eyed man]]

PT explains his vision to the group: he says that the murderer was veiled (couldn’t see their face). They were wearing a robe. PT refuses to give more details, just saying that the person sounded pretty snake-y.

Tomahawk and Garbanzo appear and the Outlaws inquire about snake people. They mention that they have heard of reptilians.

Seymour barks, and Robin goes to the kitchen to find him food.

The Outlaws split up, PT and Robin going to 3 Cobra Kai and Remy and Conrad remaining to investigate 18 Cobra Kai.

Upon investigation of the front door by Conrad and Remy, they notice that the front door has been busted in at one point. Conrad heads to 19 Cobra Kai, while Remy heads to 17 Cobra Kai, to ask the neighbors some questions.

PT examines the outside of 3 Cobra Kai, finding the front door to be splintered as if it was kicked in at one point.

Remy knocks on the door of 17 to no answer, and decides to walk over to 37.

Jessica Bielzebub answers the door of 19 upon Conrad’s knocking. Jessica enthusiastically speaks to Conrad, asking him if he is press and is starting a new newspaper (which Conrad claims he would call the Harold Herald).

PT and Robin enter the house (3) which is pitch black with no discernable light switches.

Remy sees a woman jogging down the street in front of 37. She stops in a strange pose, moving as if she is jogging in place. She does not reply to Remy’s questions, and sprints away upon Remy’s approach.

Conrad inquires about the murder at 18 Cobra Kai. Jessica makes more jokes about double names and whatnot. Jessica offers to tell him more about Harold, inviting him in for a pot of tea.

[[None of these homes have garages]]

A small dilapidated shed is outside of 3 Cobra Kai. Robin approaches it to look for a light source. He notices that the shed is (freshly) padlocked. He attempts to use the butt of the shotgun to break the lock, to no avail. PT attempts to blindly traverse the terrain of the house, opting to go up the stairs in the darkness, entering the first door at the top of the stairs. It is pitch black inside the room. PT ignites his lighter, attempting to examine the room as much as he can. He finds that it appears to be a children’s room (car-themed decor, train set on the floor). There is a crib which is covered in blood.

At 37 Cobra Kai, Remy has failed to pick the lock on the front door. She walks over to one of the windows, noticing some disarray inside. She breaks the window and enters the home.

Conrad enters Jessica’s home where she serves him tea, asking for lemon and milk. She brings milk and honey, and he ignores the things he requested, only using the honey. Jessica is clearly agitated (and distracted by her agitation). She describes Harold as a very lonely man, no friends to her knowledge, just a man who goes to work (where?). Upon further questioning, Jessica describes the night of Harold’s murder, mentioning hearing the door breaking open, things being smashed, and a great disturbance. Jessica mentions that no one lives at 17 Cobra Kai. Conrad takes his leave.

Robin, upon failing to break open the shack, re-enters the home. He lights his lighter and wanders around looking for PT. PT explores the upstairs, first finding a bathroom. He notices a slightly dirty toilet. He leaves the bathroom. Robin Renard is downstairs, using his lighter for illumination. Robin notices that the windows are *extremely* boarded up, almost as if someone was trying to prevent *all* light from entering the house. PT and Robin, communicating by yelling from upstairs to downstairs, notice that the house is completely devoid of light. PT opens the next door, hearing very fast pittering footsteps exiting the room and running down the hallway and down the stairs. Robin hears the footsteps running down the stairs.

Remy has broken in through the bathroom window. Remy notices that this house has a lot of windows. Just like the other houses, the front door has been kicked in.

Conrad exits 19, beginning to head toward the higher numbered houses up the sidewalk. Conrad notices the same (appearing) woman that jogged past Remy, gives her a small wave, and she continues past. He notices a businessman (near 25) who has dropped his briefcase and is haphazardly shoving papers back into his briefcase. Conrad helps him pick up his papers, and the man, clearly not wanting his help, introduces himself as Thomas Pickles [[who happens to be the gun store salesman from Richmond, VA, whom Conrad recognizes]]. Pickles attempts to snatch the papers back from Conrad, who asks if he knows him. Pickles explains that the authorities (and the mob) in Richmond discovered that one of Conrad’s associates (Remy) purchased a grenade from the gun store and immediately used it.

Back at 3, PT grabs his elephant gun and heads down the stairs quickly. Robin heads toward the stairs to cut it off, but the footsteps cross by him quickly into another part of the house. He arrives back at the front door, meeting PT. PT fires his gun at one of the boarded up windows.

At 37, Remy notices lots of windows (leading only into other rooms), and many windows. Upstairs, she finds one room in which you can see outside of the house in all directions because of all the mirrors. In the center of that room is a crudely constructed wooden platform, surrounded by towels, on top of which is a “fruit” (innards). The body is a younger male, but otherwise not recognizable. She sees the same woman in the jogging suit.

Back in front of 25, Conrad watches Pickles leave in a car (whose license plate he remembers). He heads back into town to the diner where he met Sunny Egg.

PT and Robin, at 3, have Hardy Boys’d down the hall, hearing a yucky gloppy noise. PT fires his elephant gun at a wall (hoping to hit a window and let in the light). He clearly hits a wall, but upon the gun firing, the room is illuminated. They see a cupboard, in front of which is a skinless red baby, shoving a box of crackers into its mouth. It leaps out of the cupboard, pitter-pattering toward the boys.

In the mirror room, Remy notices many dirty towels and rags around the platform, crusty with stuff, and a trail of blood leading away from the platform. She opens the door that it leads to, shotgun drawn, to reveal the peel.

Conrad orders a bunch of food, including hella eggs (which the waiter warns him against because Sunny likes to eat all the eggs). At the bar of the diner, he notices a man resembling a noir detective, who identifies himself as Prize Johnson, a reporter (freelance) for the Daily Beagle. Conrad offers to buy him breakfast in exchange for getting questions answered.

Back at 3, the two have exited the kitchen, closing the door behind them on the critter.

Remy follows a different blood trail out of the closet and over to a study. In the center of the room is a bloodstain. Remy also finds the tip of a dagger/knife, which she wraps in a bandana and tucks into her pocket.

Conrad, still conversing with the journalist (Prize), decides to head out with the journalist.

Back at 3, the Hardly Boys are heading toward the front door when the light disappears and the door closes. Their lighters reveal a Jelly Man (skinless man) who has just closed the door and who silently stumbles toward the duo.
