You all agree that hanging around the police station just after a mass murder has taken place is probably a really bad idea. Heeding Chief Perry's advice, the five of you head back to the hotel to gather your wits and to formulate a plan of action.
"I say we have two teams," Hal suggests during a meeting in one of the rooms you're renting. "One group researches this seventh victim, first using the missing persons data and then with our other resources once we have a name. The other group searches the area where the other six bodies were found; we might have enough to go on with the gold rock and smells. Perhaps the flowers were planted near or over her makeshift grave."
"Good idea, Hal," Magnus agrees. "I'll tag along with someone who is driving to the murder site."
Webb nods in agreement to Hal’s suggestion. "Sounds good. Lucas, considering your wound, you might want to leave your bug and ride with one of us. While Hal and I are practicing our chauffer skills, you guys can employ your Google-fu to start researching our victim. The park office should be able to give us some information on the flora of the area. And if this is happening now because her grave was recently disturbed, there may be some work being done near the grave."
"Sounds good," Lucas says, as he makes a duplicate of the missing persons data on the hard drive, ensuring that both teams have access to the same information en route.
Jack agrees to tag along with the group looking to find out who Seven is, hopeful that his journalism/investigative experience can of help.
"The good thing is we can stick together, so long as we have cell signal. We can use a PC laptop and smart phones in the car while the others search the site. Better than splitting the party," Hal says.
It appears we have a plan, but I need some details:
1. Who is on which team?
2. And where are the two teams heading? From Hal's suggestion, it sounds like one team will do research....where? Here at the hotel? And the other team will head to Tillamook State Park and check out the scene of the original murders back in 1973, yes? Do you know where in the park those murders were committed 40 years ago? Or do you hope someone at the park can direct you to the site?
Anyway, hammer out the details amongst yourselves and just let me know who's going where.
