Borrowed Time - Getting You Started

Starting in your Office:

WAIT (the phone rings), ANSWER PHONE (a voice gasps, "Sam, they
want you dead..." and fades out. A man's shadow darkens the
window), EXAMINE SHADOW (it's the window cleaner - lucky you
didn't shoot him!), EXAMINE DESK (the bottom drawer is unlocked),
OPEN DRAWER (you find a check), EXAMINE CHECK (an over-due alimony
check to your ex-wife, Rita), EXAMINE CABINET (your seven case
files are in it), READ CASE 1, READ CASE 2, READ CASE 3, READ CASE
4, READ CASE 5, READ CASE 6, READ CASE 7.

E, EXAMINE DESK, EXAMINE NOTEPAD, E (you see a couple of thugs
walking up the alley towards you. When they see you they draw
their guns), E, HIDE BEHIND CHAIR (you hit the back of the chair,
like Bulldog Turner taking out a linebacker, and roll. More shots
whine overhead. You're temporarily hidden. The dim outline of a
door can be seen to the north), CRAWL NORTH (you crawl through as
the guns bark again), BOLT DOOR (the bolt clicks into place. The
men are pounding on the door), UP (an Attic), BREAK WINDOW (glass
flies everywhere), GET GLASS (you hear the men frantically
running up the stairs), GO WINDOW (you're on a ledge and see a
power cable attached to the hotel), CROSS WIRE (you go hand over
hand on the wire to the building across the street. The men swing
along the wire behind you), CUT WIRE WITH GLASS (it snaps with an
audible crack and whips the two men against the facade of the
hotel).

D (you meet Mavis Brown, the barmaid. She says she tried to call
you because she heard Farnham's man, Charlie Lebock, tell your
wife and Fred Mongo that you'd never finish your investigation.
She starts to say more but noise from a corner booth stops her and
she runs out. There are several men at the bar), TALK TO MAN,
SHOW GUN (the thug breaks out in a sweat but tells you Lebock
lives up on North Main), SHOW GUN TO MAN (he says you must say
'tinplayer' at the door), W (as you leave, Iris Spencer walks up
and tells you someone has kidnapped Rita - you'd better check her
appartment).

W, W, W, W (you see a shack to the north), N (heavy footsteps warn
you just in time. Fred Mongo leaves the shack, hails a cab and
speeds off), N (locked!), KICK DOOR (you find Mavis tied up
inside), UNTIE MAVIS (she tells you that Fred Mongo tied her up.
He saw her talking to Doris Maglam and maybe he thought she'd told
her more than she did. When he left he said he had to see someone
about a car), GET BOOK (there's a bookmark in it), EXAMINE
BOOKMARK (it's a claim slip for a car parked at Stiles' Safe Park,
licence 324 C4U, GET TUBE, EXAMINE TUBE (it shows Fred Mongo is a
patient of Dr Lafferty)....
