The other vans are normal. It's obvious that none of these vehicles are involved. None of these vehicles seems to be of Foxbat's crazy style. Considering what I know about him, does this type of crime seems like his style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Alright Captain Butz. Question me quickly, I need to find Foxbat and rescue her soon." "My job, not yours," Butz says. He then turns to Sharon and asks, "Anyone touch anything?" "I did, with permission from the Secret Service agents that are here, and after bringing up the house and work lights that are 41 feet above the stage floor," Sharon replies. "With an agent watching, I examined one of the glass fragments. It looked like it came from one of the bulbs in the stage lights overhead. I also cut the power to the circuits with the damaged bulbs." “Pocahontas thinks of everything," came a comment from the stage. As Sharon growled, Ms. Swanby said, "That will be enough of that rudeness, Cordelia." "Why is the Secret Service here?" Butz asked. "The President's niece is in the auditorium," Ms. Swanby replied. "You are?" Butz asked. "Victoria Swanby, the school principal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You try it and you're in trouble," Butz snaps. He turns to an officer and and says, "Get the names and addresses of everyone in the audience then send them home." "Yes, sir," the officer says. He then turns to the crime scene photographer. "Get photos of everything." "Yes, Captain. Where are the rest of the broken light bulbs?" "Right above you," Sharon says. "They won't be lowered until everyone's clear. I don't want anyone hit by a runaway bank of broken light bulbs. By the way, when you handle them wear leather work gloves. The disposable ones you're wearing will be cut by the glass." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 "Lower them now," Butz snaps. "Fine," Sharon says. "I'll do it." Pulling on a pair of work gloves, she calls out, "HEADS UP ON STAGE. FLYING IN FIRST ELECTRIC, LINESET THREE!" She lowers it until Donna calls out, "At six feet." "Holding," Sharon calls out as she locks it in place. "It can be lowered to three feet, but if I did that, I'd hit your photographer, Captain. When we call out 'Heads up', it's for everyone's safety." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clusters of light sockets attached to a batten, a long metal pipe that's usually suspended above the stage. All the bulbs were shattered by the blast, but the wiring and sockets look intact.

Mark Rand Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Sharon lowers the second electric (lineset six) and the third electric (lineset twelve), both with shattered bulbs, and the fourth electric (lineset sixteen), which aren't. "Why aren't these bulbs damaged?" Butz asks. "They're light-emitting diodes instead of halogen floodlights like the others," Sharon replies. "Also, they're adjusted to provide light to the scrims that are usually on the batten holding the final scene backdrop and the cyclorama, which, when lowered, is behind it." "Oh," Butz says. "Think I'll talk to the Secret Service folks. Maybe they saw something." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No point changing into my uniform, seeing Incubus couldn't keep his mouth shut after that cruel joke he played on me made old Rebecca Valentine a household name..." Well, that was only half true. That Incubus actually said Robert Trueheart, but later found Coyote altered reality enough for everyone to here his third identities name instead. Somehow s/he knows that Coyote can be just as evil as Incubus, but s/he couldn't be mad at the native American trickster God for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Butz was introduced to Maestra Jennifer Collingsworth, the orchestra teacher and conductor and the President's niece and her lead Secret Service agent Andrea Price whose cover is her teaching assistant. Andrea reports that nothing unusual happened before what looked like two tennis balls bounced onto the stage from stage left and what appeared to be two flash bang grenades going off. When their eyes cleared, Darlene Singh, a performer, was missing. When Butz asks if anything unusual before the play started, Andrea replies that photographers from The Mickey Mouse Club Magazine, the school newspaper, and the school yearbook were taking photos for their publications. When Butz asks why The Mickey Mouse Club Magazine was covering the play, Andrea explains that there are Mouseketeers in the orchestra, drama club, and stage crew as well as on the girls swim team and that one is a swim meet lifeguard.
