    Say what you want about nights being too short, but sometimes, facts are facts. Helen had already resolved to revisit the place after they had left due to nearing sunrise. Sure, its pretty likely there's been some changes due to a full day of folks waltzing over the area. or someone has sent some ghouls to clean the place up. But still, better to look and find nothing than not look and not find something... Yet, the real fun question remains: What if someone else has the same idea and she runs into them right there ? Sofia or Twist would be bad enough, but her thoughts are more on folks like Jav or Rorke. or their buddies. But cops or curious souvenir jackals would do in a pinch as well. Which is why she travels with the full pack. Travelling light is one thing, but who knows what's there for the picking.

    Thus she makes her way back to the scene of lasts night encounter with Twist. The folks have cleaned up a little, so some of the pointers as to the right directions have changed or vanished, but there are enough pointers left to guide her towards her goal. Thus, she backtracks the departure from the last time she was here until she finds some parts she recognizes and makes her way to where she thinks the scene from last time is. She remains on the lookout for some of the anticipated surprises. Just in case !

    What is Helen looking for? She does note that as before, the fallen tree that forced a walk in approach is gone. What is Helen's goal?

    Helen will need to roll investigation to discover new information

    While Helen remembers the place that had been torn up by wheels and uses a quick glance around to see if it's still recognizable, she first looks towards where she's already been sort of engaged last time and starts re-examining the vegetation a little closer for starters.

    Perception's just to see if she feels observed.

    Helen finds the area that she had been looking over the other night. She can see that some of the landscaping looks off. After a moment of studying it, she sees one of the flower stems is bent and flower petals are on the ground. Perhaps something had gone by this way or something thrown had disturbed this flower?

    Hm... What have we here ?

    Helen doesn't feel that observed, which is a good thing. So she switches on the MagLite and takes a closer look at the area surrounding her position, using the knife she got for free-ninety-nine earlier to push aside vegetation or do some light digging if she feels it necessary.

    Some time passes as Helen looks around at the ground, poking around the flowers and shrubbery. Her eyes trail along slightly disturbed earth to find something metal on the ground. A small box. It certainly did not look like it belonged there. It had small writing on the side that could likely be checked online. 'ManpackUAV' were the words. It was about hand sized and would be easily carried.
    Helen looked over the other area and noted that the muscle car tracks were clearly visible.
    There was a splotch of dried blood on the ground, beside tracks for a vehicle that was heavy. A big truck or a van, perhaps. There were a few pieces of broken, crumbled amber safety glass here. It looked to be from the rear view of a vehicle.

    Well, look at that !

    Helen's not too sure what that box is, looking at it as is, but she's pretty sure she can somehow find out. Some folks should be a bit more tech-savvy than her, if necesary. As is, she picks up the box and puts it in the bag for later use or refernce after she's made a few pictures of where and how she's found it and a small sketch to go with those. Blood, tracks, safety glass... She thinks about that for a bit. Heavy vehicle, blood's older too. Question is, how rewarding is it to go after that all alone, especially after what went down here last night ? Hm.

    On the one hand, they sort of have an agreement with the folks that they met here last time, or so it seemed. On the other hand ? She's not trusting these guys as far as she can spit and most likely, there's not that much to be found anyway, seeing as there's been a few sunlight hours in between. Still, Helen packs up and follows the track marks as far as she can.

    Helen follows the tracks through the driveway in front of the Haven out to the road that led to the main road. She could not see any further tracks on the well mantained asphalt. Helen recalled that the tree had been placed across the road before her arrival the other night. This vehicle would have had to arrive prior to that roadblock being put in place. Helen is now aware that there were three vehicles at this location on the evening in question. The initial muscle car used in the attack, the vehicle that Helen and Alessandra encountered on the walk in and this van or truck. What to do now?

    Hm, van or truck... ? In a lot of the ways she can think of, this isn't too good. Maybe these guys hit someone and then put up the tree as a barricade. Maybe them's the guys Rorke and his buddy were really covering, or they were covering some other CSI-group ?

    Lots of questions and not a lot of stuff to go on, just a lot of conjecture. Hm. For what it's worth, she goes back and collects the bit of glass. Maybe the other guys know somebody who can use it to figure out some more stuff ? Worth asking about...

    So for now, she takes the time to dig the phone up and send a message.
