They returned to their starting point, after the attack from the creature and then were faced with a new challenge, when there was a cry for help.
Tito tipped his head.
Tito: Timmy fell down a well? Who is Timmy?
Dun Dun!
Paws: Re run in re rell!
Taj’el raised a hand awkwardly, Tito thought the Doctor was as confused as him.
Taj’el: So now we must save Timmy?
Taj’el glanced at their notepad.
Taj’el: A fall can be fatal. However, if there is still water present within the well structure, the primary risk would shift to drowning. That outcome would depend on the specific design of the well and the depth of the water reservoir.
Kreshkova: Ve need to hurry and help him.
(( Crime Scene-Outside, Studio 1, USPS Showrunner ))
They stepped outside and it looked as bad and uncared as the old scary mansion.
It was however much more lively and filled.
A perimeter had been set and several personal, fully clothed, some even with protective suits, were already working on it.
A young officer broke away from the perimeter and hurried toward them.
Officer: Detectives, Doctor, you made it. One victim. Eighteen-year-old Caucasian male. Presumed cause of death: drowning.
Tito arched an eyebrow and again took the gloves as they walked closer.
Taj’el was the first to start the examination.
Taj’el: Actually… there is no water in the lungs, and, much like the other victim, there is bruising around the neck region.
Kreshkova: Zhat’s good vork, Doctor. So you zhink zhey vere bozh strangled?
Tito tilted his head.
Tito: It's possible.
Taj’el lifted the victim’s hands, there was paint residue and bruising across the knuckles and fingers. They held it up so he and Sasch could see.
Taj’el: This implies he fought his attacker, but I am uncertain about the significance of the paint. A proper laboratory, or a tricorder, would be required for definitive analysis.
Sasch reached into her pocket, revealing a sample vial and a tool that looked like it could be used to scrape. She knelt beside Taj’el and, unscrewing the lid to the sample vial, she used the other object to scrape the paint off of Timmy’s hands before recapping the sample tube. Standing up, Sasch walked over to the Officer.
Kreshkova: See if you can send zhis for a sample analysis.
Officer: Right away, Ms. Vinkley.
Tito looked around trying to find any other clues. But the outside time had already marked everything.
Standing, Taj’el moved toward the well.
Taj’el: It appears a rope was used to lower or dispose of the body into the well. That would account for post-mortem cervical trauma, consistent with a fall after death rather than a fatal injury sustained prior to placement. The victim was likely deceased before entry into the well. ::pause:: What is your assessment, detectives?
Kreshkova: Zhen who do you zhink it vas zhat called for help?
Tito: If they were trying to hide the victim, maybe an accomplice that was having second thoughts?
Paws: Re need to rit up and rook for rues!
Kreshkova: I zhink Paws is right. Ve need to look for clues so ve can cue zhis up for zhe lawyers.
Tito was happy that Sasch was better at “translating” Paws then he was.
Tito: Where do you suggest?
Taj’el: Response
Paws: Rats rhat rhi red!
Kreshkova: I zhink ve should head back inside to vhere zhis all started and see if ve can piece zhese clues togezher.
Tito shrugged and at the lack of choices he nodded.
Tito: Fine by me.
Taj’el: Response
Paws: Rand a rack!
Taj’el: Response
They cut their way through the grass and around to the front of the house, turning to the back and heading to the hourglass-shaped staircase at the front of the old hotel. The gallery was just through the entryway.
As they opened the front door, two voices could be heard.
Wickles: Let’s go ahead and put that bust of Beethoven on the new pedestal.
Sasch led them inside and Tito arched an eyebrow. It appeared that business was carrying on as usual.
Wickles: No. Let’s not put that there. How about down here in this corner.
The one talking turned around and almost stumbled on Sasch before Tito could shout a warning.
Wickles: Pardon me.
Kreshkova: I’m sorry.
Tito: Hello.
Taj’el/Paws: Response
Wickles: Oh! You must be those mystery-loving sleuths I was told about. Mr. Wickles at your service. Actually, if you can catch whoever is doing this, you’ll be doing me quite a favor.
Sasch studied him for a moment.
Kreshkova: Vell, I suppose zhat’s good to know. Vhy vould ve be doing you a favor, Mr…
Wickles: Oh. I’m Mr. Wickles. I’m the curator of this new gallery. We’re going to be reopening the hotel and adding a gallery experience for an extra fee.
Tito: That explains why the work is going on.
Taj’el/Paws: Response
Wickles: Oh, Henry, careful with that paint. Don’t go too thick. If you do, it will take too long to dry. I want to have it ready for when the Rembrandt that I managed to borrow for the gallery and hotel opening arrives.
At the mention of paint, Sasch’s head swiveled around. Turning back to everyone else, she pointed her finger in the air and said…
Kreshkova: Looks like ve’ve got ourselves a clue. Mr. Vickles, how long haf you been planning zhis reopening?
Wickles: No, it’s Wickles. Wa Wa Wickles.
Kreshkova: Zhat’s vhat I said.
Tito shook his head and stepped forward. If Sasch was handling this it might take a while, so he quickly shifted the conversation.
Tito: All this renovation… How many people are working on it Mr. Winkles?
Wickles: Response
Taj’el/Paws: Response
Tito tipped his head to Henry the painter.
Tito: Is by any chance someone missing?
Wickles: Response
Taj’el/Paws/Kreshkova: Response
Tito looked around. For what was supposed to be a renovation they would likely have a lot of work ahead. But maybe the creepy Mansion style was something they already intended on setting.
Tito: This is going to be an art gallery or a museum?
Wickles: Response
Taj’el/Paws/Kreshkova: Response
Tito straightens himself before looking at the others.
Tito: Really? What makes you say that?
Wickles: Response
