The Trail to Piece #5
- Elder Dalton Trumbo has it, we need it!

It seems to start with emails from Mr Alan Johnson to danteIL, asking:
1) Do you have blond hair (could danteIL be the replacement that the Spoocheeeee elders have in mind?),
2) Have you been contacted by an elder by the name of Mister James Bonham?
3) If you have not heard from him directly, perhaps you have been contacted by his wife, Dorothy Bonham?
4) Have you ever been contacted by anyone calling themselves Mister Robert Rich?
5) Please let me know if you have ever heard from Mr. G. Endore.

drizjr posted info from Katya & Mapmaker in chat.
Those names are all aliases of Dalton Trumbo.

Here are some website of information:

After reading Tall Man's email I went back to the blog found last night. If you take the letter immediately following the capitol letters, you get:

What is a little strange is the 5th piece......
PiecebyPiece

Represented by the lack of a different color? Or completely missing (cause it's just the background).

META: Shocked

different colors instead of all pink!

Cathy wrote:

Heather,
Alan is on his way home! He knows you Sammeeeees have piece four and he's horribly angry! I'm worried for "the five"! I'm scrambling to figure out how to keep him away from them! His rage is growing again! Actually I've never heard him screech so much before! I was shaking when I got off the phone! I have to find a way to protect Kevin! If Alan learns of the elder plan for Kevin, he will immediately kill him! I am taking a deep breath. I can't tell you how frightened I am.

This is a very, very dangerous time for us. Can I help you to get to piece five? I will do whatever you need. I will risk all to save our friends.

Figuring out how to ask for info without giving too much away. And ideas to keep Mr AJ from harming our FIVE. Since Ben can't talk to Happy (and through her to Dwin), I figured the next best route would be through Cathy.

konamouse wrote:

Kevin holds the key to piece 5. He may have found or been in direct contact with the elder who has the last piece....this elder is one who is planning to overthrow the current Mr AJ (so I would think he knows about Kevin and may have already been training him in some ways unbeknownst to you). As for the elder with piece 5; we have two clues: A Clockwork Orange, and the history of Beverly Hills. I know that he admires Higgs and Peeps alot - and may have tried to create a code but we can't think like a 14 year old. Maybe you have some thoughts?
Maybe to help with Mr AJ, you can suggest that you have found out that one amongst us is planning to trade the 5 pieces for THE FIVE. That might lower his rage if he knows that one of us is going to do what ever it takes to gain their safe release. You can even suggest that it's the last person in the world he would have thought. Maybe that will distract him and buy us enough time to get to that last piece and break the Spoocheeeee power.
I'll keep this channel open.
Heather

Obviously none of us will really do this. But we have to give Mr AJ some idea that all is not lost. He is getting to close to being a desperate man.

Cathy wrote:

Heather,
I will meet with Happy Rogers this morning and ask her to speak with Kevin about this immediately. I will wait for Happy to come back out with Kevin's information. I promise you and the Sammeeeees will have the information on his code today.

Alan is home and still asleep. Mister Abbott gave him a sedative when he got in late, late last night. I may sneak into Mister Abbott's bag and grab a bunch of those sedatives for the week ahead. Alan should be on them 24/7. I will speak with Alan about negotiating. If I know him, he's already on that path. It will calm him if I say I believe there is at least one Sammeeeee who is willing to bargain with the pieces.
Thank you, Heather.
Hugs
Cathy

*konamouse* votes for the sedatives in his wine.

I vote for the sedatives as much as you can..

Cathy wrote:

Heather,
I like the way you think! Smile

Good news! Alan is still sleeping. Mister Abbott is afraid the dosage was too strong. Too bad. Maybe he'll sleep all day!

I just left Happy. She gave me the following message for you and the Sammeeeees from Kevin (Dwin):

"It is always FIRST LINE OF. Follow FIRST LINE OF correctly and you will soon understand Beverly Hills." Happy said Kevin (Dwin) said to emphasize the "first line of". I hope that makes sense to you and the Sammeeeees.

Happy also told me Trinket is acting out today. Her crying has stopped and she's now yelling at them all that they'll never get out alive. Happy and Higgs are trying to stop her from upsetting Kevin but she won't shut up. Happy said Kevin looks lost. We must get him out of there.

[EMAIL] 11/28 Cathy - She Can Help with Piece #5
- why she met w/ Happy last summer

konamouse wrote:

Thank you Cathy, the Sammeeeees are back on the trail Kevin set for us. As for Trinket....if possible, we have to assure her that her sister is safe in the outside world and NOT a prisoner of Spoocheeeee. Dante has already established a relationship with the elder who has the key to the 5th piece. We are working furiously to get you all out of Spoocheeeee control. That's what you want, right? Both of you free?

I've always wondered about a couple of things that happened last summer. What led you to meet with Happy and tell her stuff about Otis? And, more importantly, how did that final mission get sent to the FIVE that led them to the trap set by Mr Alan Johnson? They noticed that the pink paper was different from what Peeps had been using; and that the print font was different as well.....leading us to hypothesize that this particular mission was not the one Peeps intended for them, but was specifically changed to get them all in the same place at the same time for Spoocheeeee to capture them all at once. How did Spoocheeeee know about all this? Was there a leak from the Sammeeeees back to Mr Alan Johnson? You're the only one left inside the organization that might have access to this information.
Hugs,
Heather

Cathy wrote:

Heather,
Good news about piece five. You and the Sammeeeees never fail to impress me. I promise to pass the news along to Trinket if and when I speak to Happy. I may manage a visit for Ben later today. Alan is unpredictable these days. I find it very difficult to read him, but I think he will allow another visit.

You are my friend and I will tell you only the truth about last summer. I met with Happy for two reasons. The first reason was Kevin. I wanted to be sure that she and the Sammeeeees were safe for Kevin to be around. The world is full of dangerous people. The second reason for meeting with Happy was to create a relationship with the Sammeeeees. I knew what was coming and I was hoping to build and alliance with them to save Kevin and myself from the hell of Spoocheeeee. Believe me, I never set up the Sammeeeees. I would not do that. I hope you know you can trust me.

There is something else you should know about me. It may be helpful in the days ahead. Dalton Trumbo and I were very "close" until two years ago. He does not speak well of me now, but believe me, I could gain his confidence again very quickly, if needed.
hugs
Cathy

Hmmm, I don't recall using the name "Dalton Trumbo". I was specifically careful in my wording to her to avoid giving out extra information. Guess she got it from someone else. I wonder how she could gain his trust if he doesn't speak well of her now - probably doesn't like her because he considers her the "slave" of Mr Alan Johnson?????

You were brave and very heroic this weekend. I will sing your praises
for days.
Just thought you'd like to know we are joining Dalton Trumbo's
Communist Spoocheeeee Party in order to gain his confidence.
What do you know about this elder? Was he around when you helped Alan Walker move up to his current position? Does he know you are a White Rose?
Hugs,
Heather

Jean Moulin wrote:

Hello to you beautiful Heather! It is me! The One and the Only Jean Moulin! I am back from London and I must say as handsome as ever! Mrs. Paul Foucher and Russell are back home and very happy. I finally introduced myself to them and escorted them home. The Spoocheeeees were gone and all seemed well. Mrs. Paul Foucher and the young man named Russell send their best to you "dear sweet young people"! I told her of our statue! She was most impressed! We brought the love to her heart! I knew we would!

Mister Dalton Trumbo is someone I do know very well. He approached me several times to join his Spoocheeeee Communist Party. He knows I am a white rose. He hates my handsome white rose face with every bone in his body! The Spoocheeeee leader I poisoned for the present Mr. Alan Johnson was a comrade of Mister Trumbo's. I am sure turning the land of Spoocheeeee into all Spoocheeeee Communists is not all that Mr. Trumbo has in mind. Eh? Revenge? Eh? I do not want to be a Spoocheeeee Communist, Heather. I do not believe they only want the good for the people. I wish this could be true but I believe this Dalton Trumbo and his friends are too corrupt to share like this. I look very concerned right now and when I am concerned I am very, very handsome! My hair is most handsome today because of the wind! You would smile to see me right now! Please come to me if you need me, Heather. I will always be brave and handsome for you!
I am the One and the Only

[EMAIL] 11/29 Cathy's History with Dalton
- from Cathy & from Peeps

konamouse wrote:

Interesting that you and Dalton were close. He has a message for you. It came as part of our "instructions" for joining his "Spoocheeeee Communist Party". Here is the email:
---------------------------
Comrade,

<edit>
And finally all members of the Beverly Hills (SCP) Cell must pledge to contact Patricia Moore and tell her "a boy's best friend is his mother".
Let us march together!
Dalton Trumbo
-----------------------

So, consider this me telling you the message above....I know it has to do with the elders' plans to make Kevin the next Mr Alan Johnson. The only reason I can see for contacting Mr Alan Johnson is to make him even more upset. I really don't want to do that (I think I stirred his pot more than enough times this past month).

Something that may be coincidence, but may not be....Tutu (Trinket's sister) has appeared on MySpace. She lists her home as Beverly Hills. When it comes to Spoocheeeee, I don't believe in coincidences anymore. Does anyone know what she looks like?

As for pledging that I'm blond....I may have a bit of difficulty since my picture is readily available online everywhere (and I created that video for Mrs Paul Foucher just last week). And Mr Alan Johnson has seen my picture from MySpace. But I'll see what I can do. Check my flickr, I just uploaded a "new version" of me.

Thanks for putting up with Mr Alan Johnson this week. Ben wrote me saying he might be visiting his mom on Wednesday. I think Thursday Mr Alan Johnson may be trying to work a deal with one or more of us Sammeeeees to get the pieces in trade for THE FIVE. As long as he understands that it means ALL of the Five, safe and sound, then a deal might be struck. Anything to keep them all alive and unharmed.

Anything else you can tell me about Comrade Trumbo can only help us in our dealing with him.

Thanks.
Heather

Cathy wrote:

I am still looking into Tutu. It is difficult with Alan in such state. There could be some connection between Tutu and all this but I don't know. I promise to contact you immediately if I find anything. The good part about Alan slipping into this depression is that he's hardly speaking about the "five". He gave it to me last night. Nothing physical but I have never heard him yell so loud. He was crying from rage. I just let him rant. Most of it was silly jealously over Timothy and I. Today he's over that and he is now mumbling about Dalton Trumbo and the blondes. Seems that a few Sammeeeees contacted Alan today and told him they too are blonde and were approached by Dalton to lead Spoocheeeee. Alan is only growing more angry with Dalton. It is, for now, a great way to keep him off our "five".

The message from Dalton to me is basically a request to attend the secret meeting. Tell Rhoda that Mame Dennis will be there. Tell him to send Mame the date and time. I would not miss it.
Cathy

konamouse wrote:

Peeps,
By now I'm sure you've been updated on our contact with Comrade
Trumbo. So far, our contact has seem benign. We're to make a
Spoocheeeee Communist Party flag, for example. The meeting is this
Friday at 8p.

Here are the latest instructions:
----------------------------------------------

<edit>
And finally all members of the Beverly Hills (SCP) Cell must pledge to
contact Patricia Moore and tell her "a boy's best friend is his
mother".
--------------------------------------------

This last instruction bothers me, a lot. Cathy told me that up until
two years ago, she & Dalton were close..."Dalton Trumbo and I were
very "close" until two years ago. He does not speak well of me now,
but believe me, I could gain his confidence again very quickly, if
needed"

I think we need to keep an eye on her for everyone's safety - just in
case this is a trigger for some sort of posthypnotic suggestion. I
don't want her to get hurt.

Meanwhile, I have followed Comrade Trumbos instructions....but it's
just to get that last piece, you know.

What kind of interactions did you have with Elder Trumbo during your
tenure with Spoocheeeee?

Heather

Peeps wrote:

You are very smart to be cautious about anything Mister Dalton Trumbo may ask of you. He is not as benign as he may seem. Mister Trumbo's "Communist Party" has always seemed suspicious to me. I know very little personally, but I heard things during my time with Spoocheeeee. This plot to take over has been brewing in the back rooms of Spoocheeeee with Mister Trumbo and his "friends" since the day dear Jean Moulin poisoned the previous Mr. Alan Johnson. Now with the Sammeeeees in the mix, Mister Trumbo probably feels this is the perfect opportunity to seek his revenge. On top of the death of the previous Mr. Alan Johnson, there is the Patricia Moore issue.

Patricia Moore was "very close" to Mister Trumbo. He was over the moon for her. She only found him entertaining. Mister Trumbo foolishly believed that he was the only man in Patricia's life. Patricia Moore has always had many suitors, Heather. This is not Spoocheeeee gossip. I do not judge her for this. She is never dishonest or apologetic about her life style. Patricia Moore simply enjoys the company of many men. When Mister Trumbo discovered she was seeing Mr. Alan Johnson too, he went crazy. He threw himself into this "secret cell" of his Spoocheeeee Communist Party and became determined to change the world. If I were to wager a bet, I would say this is all a cover for simple revenge. I also doubt it is a coincidence that Dwin (Kevin - the next leader) is with Patricia. Maybe Mister Trumbo thought it would be a way to get close to Patricia again. (I don't think that ever panned out for him.) And the phrase "a boy's best friend is his mother" is strange. It does have a creepy tone. You should speak with the Tall Man. I am not completly sure, but I think he may have attended a secret cell meeting once. He might be able to prepare you for Friday.

Thank you for all your hard work and for taking these risks. We are so close! I have faith that we will save the five and save the world!
Peeps
