[EMAIL] Via MySpace
A BIG thank you to the PMs for giving me a way back in!

So after I left a message last night on the voice mail (after calling AJ), I left him a short note (on Myspace) telling him to check his voicemail. I got this today:

Quote:

Greetings to you, Red!

You have been missed as well here at Otis Worldwide headquarters! I did receive your telephone message. Yes, it does seem that the lovely Patricia Moore may have known about this coup that involves the young boy, Dwin. Am I to understand that you knew this as well? You must have been the reason the White Rose broke into my offices and corrupted my communications. They feared your message would arrive at my doorstep and I would take revenge. I can't say what I might have done to the young boy had I discovered this a few weeks ago. My position and the position of the Sammeeeees has changed so much since my time in New York. It feels like a lifetime ago.

Moving forward..... I am still attempting to get to the bottom of who knew what when. I shall be very busy with this for the next day or so. I also must see my doctor. I have the most painful cough. I so appreciate your call and your note. Do you know Mister Dalton Trumbo, Red? Have you heard he is the one behind the this coup? I must be certain that the Sammeeeees do not join his forces and hand the so-called Spoocheeeee disc over to him. It would be a disaster! Please, if you have any influence with these Sammeeeees, explain to them that Mister Trumbo is only seeking revenge on me. There would not be a new and kinder "Otis". There would only be an "Otis" without me.

Cheers to you, Red! Wonderful to have you around!

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

Working on a reply to him now Smile

latest from AJ (hmmmm, i guess the cough could be psychosematic):

Quote:

Greetings to you, my quick witted friend!

No chills or numbness yet. (except for the chill of a familiar ghost perhaps?)

It will please you to know that I am off to the doctor's office about my cough. If it is bad news, you shall be the first person I notify.

Cheers to you!

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

I told him he was poisoned

his reply

Quote:

Greetings Red!

Are you sure about this poison? Where did you get this information? You know, one of the Sammeeeees threatened me today with poison. Her name is Melissa. Could it be she that is poisoning me? Patricia will be dealt with. She is with Mister Abbott right now.

I spent the afternoon with the doctor and he can't find anything other than a minor lung infection. And thank you for your previous note! Very informative. We shall discuss this tomorrow! I must get some rest. The coughing is exhausting me.

Cheers to my health!

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

My reply

Quote:

Sir, I managed to get into Dalton trumbo's secret meeting. He said a comrade has managed to get so close to you as to administer a topical poison that will appear to you and your doctors as a lung irritation. you MUST get to a poison expert immediately!!!!

Trumbo said that this poison will kill you before next week has ended!

Do not go to sleep - go to the hospital - NOW!!!!!

His reply

Quote:

Greetings Red!

I will have round the clock care immediately. But I shall stay here in my home. It is safer, Red. I have security that the hospital cannot supply.

We shall speak in the morning. Thank you for care and concern.

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

Greetings Heather,

Thank you for your research! I am on many anti-biotics as well as taking herbal saunas. The doctors have ordered me to stay in bed and rest. Not easy with so much happening right now! The doctors say they must watch me for the next 48 hours to be certain I am "out of the woods". A dreadful thought to be "in those woods"!

Some associates of mine brought in some strange devices to search for the source of this poison. They are most certain that they have found something in my office. My office is now roped off to the world. I will keep you posted.

If you do not know already, Patricia Moore has "escaped". She is more than likely on her way to her lover Dalton's arms as I type this. (I do wish her well.) You do think she will be safe with Dalton? I would hate for her to be in danger, Heather. I may not always demonstrate it, but I do love Patricia Moore. She is a delight and a remarkable dancer.

As a "thank you" to you and the Sammeeeees, I have sent "the five" and invitation for dinner tomorrow. I will not be able to entertain them, but it will give them some time to be here in my lovely home, have a wonderful meal and maybe even fit in a quick "hello" to you and the Sammeeeees on the computer.

Cheers to you, my Sammeeeee friend!

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

Ever the loyal Otis associate, I wrote Mr. Alan Johnson as soon as I heard of his poisoning:

I wrote:

Mr. Johnson,

I found out the horrible news from the Sammeeeees that
you may have been poisoned!! I am devastated. How
can I help? How are you feeling? Do you know who did
this? Certain of the Sammeeeees seemed to be gloating
about this, which makes me sick. They do not
understand what a tragedy it would be if anything were
to happen to you. Let me know what I can do.

Yours,
Dante

A.J. wrote:

Greetings Dante!

It seems I was poisoned by someone. The Sammeeeees, in a twist of
fate, were the ones to save me. I have been receiving many mixed messages
about who did it. One Sammeeeee even pointed a finger at you.
Sometimes these Sammeeeees remind me of the "keystone cops". Do you know who
they are, Dante? You are probably far too young to know, but look them
up. You will more than likely agree. At this point, my only suspect
is Mister Trumbo. It would be fitting for him to attempt to poison me,
as he has always claimed that I poisoned his friend, the former Mr.
Alan Johnson. I am feeling better today. You are too kind to inquire. I
am more rested but the cough does persist. My doctors say this shall
continue for the next week or so. I will be taking care to spend time
in my sauna to heal my lungs.

This brush with death has me thinking, Dante. I am working out my
"negotiation" speech for December 5th. There is the tricky situation of
"who gives what first". You know I CAN be trusted to let the Sammeeeeees
go, but I do NOT trust the Sammeeeees to give me this disc. I must
have some collateral. It will be essential to have "collateral" that
means something to these Sammeeeees. Please keep this between you and I.
I believe I shall tell them I will release the Sammeeeee five on
whatever date we choose.....but on one condition, I must have the man called
Peeps. Of course, after they return the disc to me, I will allow Peeps
to go free. Peeps can then be an ordinary man or whatever kind of man
he selects. Without him for collateral, there will be no deal for "the
five".

Please tell me your thoughts about this, Dante. I respect your
opinion. Thank you. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Cheers to us! The world is still ours!

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

Thank you for treating The Five like guests.
I wish we were closer to finding the 5th piece so the Sammeeeees can start negotiations to free The Five.

Now Trumbo writes that we have something he wants....what does he want from us (aside from our loyalty to his Communist Party)? Does he want the disc pieces? If so, he'll never willingly give us piece #5 - hopefully he hid it somewhere and isn't watching it too closely, and we can find it.

What is it about the disc pieces? Before it was all about Peeps. I still don't know where he is, sorry.

Heather

Mr Alan Johnson wrote:

Greetings Heather,

I would not worry yourself with "the why" of this so-called Spoocheeeee disc. For me it is a matter of principal. It belongs to Otis. It is my responsibility to retrieve it. I am sure Mr. Trumbo wants this as another feather in his cap and another slap in my face. He's a mad man!

I will tell you all tomorrow evening what will be required to release the five. After you hear my needs, we may discuss. Of course, for any "release" to take place, you must find and obtain piece five. How goes that journey?

Your fellow Sammeeeees seemed to enjoy their evening. It was lovely to hear laughter in the house. Happy Rogers even poked her head into my bedroom to say a quick hello. She is a charming, yet odd woman. Why she feels the need to wear this aluminum hat baffles me. Do you know this Happy Rogers, Heather? Is she somehow insane? I know she's been unstable at times but over all her mental health seems "normal". The hat does concern me.

I hope you are well this morning! Enjoy this glorious day!

Cheers to us!

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

I passed along Peeps' offer to Mr. Alan Johnson:

Mon Dec 4, I wrote:

Greetings Mr. Johnson,

I hope that you are still well on the road to
recovery! I hear that you are well taken care of. We
need you strong, Mr. Johnson!

So recently you asked me my opinion about the upcoming
negotiations with the Sammeeeees about the fate of
'the Five' and the so-called Spoocheeeee pieces. You
wondered whether the man called Peeps would be willing
to give himself up for collateral in exchange for a
guarantee from the Sammeeeees that they would return
the pieces. Well I hope that you do not consider this
presumptuous of me, but I went ahead and confronted
Peeps with this idea, and to my surprise, he indicated
to me that he would be willing to do this. Here is
what he said to me:

"Please tell Mr. Johnson he can have me for his
collateral. Tell the Sammeeeees that on the day you
find piece five, I will step out from my hiding place
and Mr. Johnson may take me into custody to insure the
freedom of the five Sammeeeees. That is my fate. Could
you ask Mr. Johnson for one favor? Could I have one
day of freedom before I go? I should like just one day
to live like an ordinary man. "

So I am passing this message on to you Mr. Johnson,
for you to consider. I think that he is sincere, so I
would hope that you would consider his request for one
day of being an ordinary man. Let me know what you
decide.

Yours,
Dante

Mon Dec 4, A.J. wrote:

Greetings Dante!

I am indeed on the wonderful road to recovery! Of course, I am still
weak and the cough persists, but I feel myself getting stronger and
healthier each time I emerge from my sauna! Do you take saunas, Dante?
They do a world of good! It would be a better world if we all took a
sauna every day! Cheers to saunas! Perhaps I should give out saunas for
to my associates for Christmas this year!?

Peeps says he'll except my request and turn himself over as collateral?
I can't believe it. Are you certain? I wonder if he's up to
something. What do you think? Is there a plan or a plot in the works? The man
called Peeps only wants one day of freedom. I will mull this. I can't
see a problem with it on the surface but I who knows what that day of
freedom could bring my way. He would have to promise not to go about
shouting about this imaginary land of Spoocheeeee. He would also have to
promise he would not attempt to recruit any more Sammeeeees. Ask Peeps
exactly what he will be doing on this one day of freedom.

Thank you for being my liason, Dante.

You are a person of action! That is marvelous trait! I do enjoy your
company!

Cheers to you and me!

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

Somebody had to tell Mr. Johnson that something was going on, right?

Tues Dec 5, I wrote:

Mr. Johnson,

I passed your concerns on to Peeps. I don't know what
he will do, or if he is planning something. At some
point you are going to have to trust him, I'm afraid.

Also, I've heard that something may have happened to
Mister Dalton Trumbo. Do you know anything about
this, Mr. Johnson?

Yours,
Dante

Tues Dec 5, A.J. wrote:

Greetings Dante!

Something "happened" to Mister Dalton Trumbo? I have not heard a word.
What do you suppose? Did he sell his big screenplay? I've heard he
has something in the works with Paramount Pictures. Or perhaps something
more sinister has "happened" to our dear elder? Perhaps there has been
a Commie Coup? That is fun to say out loud, Dante. Give it a go.
"Commie Coup". This is very entertaining. What else could have
"happened" to Mister Dalton Trumbo? Perhaps the Tongva Spirits finally came for
him? Better yet, I have heard that Patricia Moore has been playing
house with Mister Trumbo. You know, Dante, Mister Trumbo is quite old.
Perhaps Patricia, the frisky vixen that she is, was too much for the
old man? Now that would make me chuckle.

Thank you for the smile, Dante. I must prepare for my speech this
evening. I don't want to appear to concerned or anxious to the Sammeeeees,
so I have decided to speak to them from the most relaxing place I know.
I will speak to them from my sauna!

Cheers to me and my sauna!

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

Teehee.

What does Mr AJ know?

I like the idea about the selling of a screen play.

Sounds like the White Roses don't want him to know about Trumbo's death (cause Spoocheeeee would be all over that house looking for the 5th piece) - why else would they want to steal the body when they rescue Patricia Moore?

I recieved a very curtious message on myspace tonight:

Quote:

Greetings Sallyyyyy!

I am writing to see how you Sammeeeees are doing with piece five. Any luck? Perhaps you should tell me something more about this story of Mr. Trumbo's. Maybe it will shake something up in my cobwebbed mind and I could actually be of some assistance to you and the other Sammeeeees. I do hope all is well. You are a treasure!

Cheers to you Sammeeeees!

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

So what do we tell him?

So I decided to cut to the chase. I figured that Cathy was safely out of there by this point:

I wrote:

Mr. Johnson,

Mr. Dalton Trumbo is dead. You were right..
apparently he died in the arms of Patricia Moore. The
White Roses are doing what they can to get her out of
there. She may even already be gone by now. I let
you know if I learn more.

Looking forward to hearing what you propose to the
Sammeeeees tonight.

Yours,
Dante

Mr. A.J.: wrote:

Greetings Dante!

Do you mind telling me who gave you this information about Mr. Dalton
Trumbo? I have heard from a team of my associates that Mr. Trumbo and
Patricia were kidnapped by the white rose this morning. In fact they
read a note to me indicating this very thing.

What is going on? If Mr. Trumbo is dead, then I can get piece five for
myself. Good news for me. One less bargaining chip for the
Sammeeeeees. In fact, they are quite powerless without the last piece. This
would remove some of my worry over our negotiations. Until we know which
story is true, I shall dispatch some associates to Mr Trumbo's home to
see what we can find. I shall also see what the Sammeeeees have found
so far. Could help us get to the piece first!

I will be in touch, Dante!

Cheers to you!

Warm Regards,

Just in time for the meet tonight, AJ decides we're buddies again. What's a little case of poison between friends, hmmmm? Gotta love that AJ!

Ah, Mr Smooth Talker....we are all his little "treasures" aren't we. I got the same email.

So, what do we tell him about our progress on piece 5? Anything or nothing?

So after the last email from A.J., I tried to do a bit of damage control:

I wrote:

Mr. Johnson,

This information comes from the Sammeeeees. I do know
that there was a flurry of activity this morning and
last night. Mr. Trumbo did indeed have some sort of
'episode' but it is still possible that Ms. Moore and
Mr. Trumbo were also kidnapped. The Sammeeeees
definitely don't have the last piece yet, although
they have been dutifully following some fiendishly
arbitrary path set by Mr. Trumbo looking for the
piece. Let me know if you discover anything, Mr.
Johnson.

Yours,
Dante

A.J. wrote:

Greetings Dante!

I have only a moment. I am about to shuffle off to the sauna and
rehearse my speech. Listen carefully, Dante. I wonder if this "kidnapping"
is a ruse..... I know you will say I am simply being
a worry wart, but I must be a worrier, Dante. Do not forget, I am the
leader of Otis Worldwide. I have a great deal of responsibility!

What if the white rose has made some sort of deal with Mister Trumbo
and faked this death or kidnapping? Hmmmmm? Then Mister Trumbo can
still attempt to carry through with this idiotic plan to crown Dwin or
Kevin as the new me. Of course, we know Mr. Trumbo actually intends to
rule Otis Worldwide himself..... but he may have others thinking
otherwise. I realize young Dwin is not a co-conspirator and I do not intend any
harm to come to him, but what if I have been played by these Sammeeeees
and white roses? I woke from my nap today with these thoughts. I
suppose I could simply be tired from my illness. I do not know anything
for sure! We shall see what the next couple days brings to us.

Thank you for listening to my concerns, Dante.

Cheers to us! The world is still ours!

Warm Regards,

Mr. Alan Johnson

He claims he didn't know your cover story about the kidnapping.

The only saving grace right now is Mr AJ's reply
"Do you mind telling me who gave you this information about Mr. Dalton Trumbo? I have heard from a team of my associates that Mr. Trumbo and Patricia were kidnapped by the white rose this morning. In fact they read a note to me indicating this very thing. "

So, he isn't sure yet. What can we do to convince him that you are both alive and really have been kidnapped (and by whom?????). Cause when he finds out the truth, he's going to know that you really did betray him...or you'd have to 'escape' back to him but probably would have to bring him something that you don't have (or we cannot afford to give to him) to convince him that you have always been on his side....oh, my head is going to burst with too much thinking.

He's sending Spoocheeeee jackals to Trumbos home now....I sure hope that piece really isn't there.

Cathy wrote:

Heather,

I will discuss this with Timothy. He's good at damage control. I will write you in the morning. I'm heading out with the ladies to the park in Beverly Hills. I think they should have some serious back up. They've been out there too much today. I'm worried they'll be vulnerable.
Try not to think anymore today. Get some rest. You're amazing.
Cathy

Okay, okay, I'll go to bed now. Jeesh, mom!

Edit to add Cathy's response this morning:

Cathy wrote:

We have the piece! This takes some of the pressure off with Alan. At least we don't have to worry about it falling into his hands. Timothy suggests we ignore Alan's curiousity for now. Timothy says it will keep him busy if he's trying to figure out what's happened to Dalton. I agree. Alan will become consumed with Dalton rather than piece five. Let's try to keep the news that we have piece five from Alan as long as possible. Timothy is trying to find something (anything) we can use as leverage to keep Alan from executing Peeps. Now I need some sleep. I will write later.
hugs
Cathy
