She follows right behind Sonnie.

With a sigh, Maxwell followed along...
Upon the Changeling's reaching the Cafe, it was definitely closed for the day at least. Perhaps even for the season. There were three doors around the Cafe, one back door, a front door and a side 'exit only' door. At the back door, they would be able to hear light whirring noises that are typically attributed for refrigeration.
"Now which of these doors would have made that sound?" Alfonso muses, circling around the outside of the building to inspect all of the doors closely for signs or recent use or entry before trying to enter.
Pierce's approach was somewhat more direct. Quietly slipping up to the back door, the Wizened produced a set of picks. Glancing to and fro to ensure he wasn't being watched, he inserted the picks and worked at the lock. A few seconds at a time, progress was made...
extended lockpicking roll, 1 sux to be quiet about it
"Well, if the cafe is closed, then this isn't likely the place..." she trailed off as Max started picking locks. With a shrug, she looked about the cafe premises for signs of anything unusual, using her magically enhanced senses and... mystery novel-level of understanding on how to find clues. They could move on to the next location if nothing became apparent quickly enough.

She tries her best to look inconspicuous, unsure whether what they're doing would be considered just trespassing or burglary. Her wisps thought, betray a certain excitement.
From what Sonnie could tell on the outside, was there wasn't much to tell. No footprints, no disturbed doors or windows. It was easy to deduce that nothing happened outside.
The back door that Max tried to open was done successfully. As the door opened, there would be no sign of footprints. However, it wasn't muddy or anything out, so this could also be deceiving.
A lack of footprints was unimportant. Were this a supernatural threat, it would be trivial to hide such things with a splash of Glamour. The fact that the refrigerator was on was curious. Would they not have emptied their stores and turned it off for the season?
Suspicion piqued, the Winter Courtier produced a .40 and, raising an eyebrow, screwed a suppressor on before advancing. He checked the room, and seeing nothing in his scan, advanced to the refrigeration device. Running his hand along it, he gave a little 'hmm' as he called down the Wyrd, but to no avail. No secrets were revealed in his mind's eye.
A pity.
He reached over with his gloved offhand and opened the fridge, hoping that he would find nothing... traumatic...
fail perception, fail Inanimate Communion
Alfonso finishes his circuit, deciding there is nothing of significance to be seen outside, and finding a door now open, without speculating as to how it came to be that way, announces in a normal speaking tone, "Sacramento Police".
He enters, visually inspecting the interior with superior senses and with professional, precise and complete methodology. He pays special attention to noting any reflective surfaces and their positioning, as to what might be captured in a reflection should he use some glamour to review what was previously reflected in a surface.
