A search in the study
John: There are many pieces left. Let’s go to the study, part of them I left there.
Task: Find a scheme fragment in the study. You will not find the item immediately.
The men are searching the room methodically, paging through newspapers and shaking up table drawers. John freezes for a while, studying one of the books, then puts it aside and turns around.
John: By the way, Jack… Thanks for asking.
Jack: Hm?
Jack pretends he doesn’t understand what he’s told. John just sighs.
John: Doc taught you to play fair.
Jack: Like there’s any other way with you!
John looks younger Firewood in the eyes for a long time, until he averts them.
John: There is.
He hems, smiling suddenly.
John: Now you can. Don’t "cut me open", I’m not a tin can after all.
Jack laughs, recognizing his own phrase.
Jack: You were eavesdropping after all! I knew it...
John smiles again, wide and sincerely, which makes him look like a little boy… Recognition is piercing the heart like an ice-cold shard. He looks like Sam.
You found a scheme fragment and received some points of freedom and some tokens
John: Feather, how’s your progress? Here, take my pieces. You’ll put them together later.
