<DWDocCrew> @ :::Renny climbs out of the car.  Johnny folds up the map then climbs out of the passenger seat:::

<DWDocCrew> @ :::Pat puts her revolvers away and exits the car as well:::
<IrishTCat> #Fred> ::Finishes brushing her hair and looks at self in the mirror:: Not bad... ::Changes the cut of her hair just slightly.  The hair becomes pure energy for an instant and then reverts back to "hair":: Ahh!  Perfect!
<JenDoctor> # It's a surprise. A pleasant one this time, I promise.
<IrishTCat> <<OOps!  Please take Fred, Jen.  As I have no idea about her character :)>>
<Long_Tom> @:::Long Tom exits the car on the otherside,so as not to get in anyone's way.
<NADW_Ham> @ ::Dusting road dust from his otherwise immaculant suit:: Why couldn't we just take the gyroplane? Surely not alof us ::quick glare at Monk:: Need to be here.
<DWDocCrew> @ Renny> Might as well use the front entrance. :::he walks up to the front door:::
<JenDoctor> # ::the console beeps:: Ah, good. Right on time. We'll just take a look first to find a good landing spot. ::flips on viewscreen::
<DWDocCrew> @ Monk> Don't look at me. Pat's the one who shouldn't have come along.
<JenDoctor> # ::a blue marble planet covered in oceans and clouds appears on the view screen::
<NADW_Ham> @ ::Quickly to Renny::Don't knock.  Please ring the bell.

<JenDoctor> # Fred> Oh it's Earth! Why is that such a surprise?
<JenDoctor> # It's not so much the destination as the people-- ::interrupted by an incessant beeping from the console::
<DWDocCrew> @ Pat>:::to Tom::: Next time, don't nap all the way.  It's the Folcroft Sanitarium.
<Long_Tom> @:::Long Tom shouts, Anybody home?

<DWDocCrew> @ :::the door opens, revealing a tall, muscular orderly in white:::
<DWDocCrew> @ Orderly>Yes?
<JenDoctor> # Now, now Irish, have faith. ::checks the beeping register:: Some alarms are for good things.
<DWDocCrew> @ Renny> We're Doc Savage's aides.
<Long_Tom> @Long Tom>:::to Orderly:::Who are you?
<DWDocCrew> @::the orderly's face lights up::
<IrishTCat> # ~Good things?  Like keeping me from napping?  That's a bad thing.~
<DWDocCrew> @ Orderly> Welcome!  Please, come in. ::he motions them inside:::::
<JenDoctor> # Fred> With the Central Authority on the prowl? Doctor, I'm not sure this is a good time for a pleasure jaunt. We did promise Brogan we would return soon. What about all your friends with forgotten memories?
<Long_Tom> @Long Tom>Thank you sir!
<DWDocCrew> @ :::once they're all inside, the Orderly leads them down the corridor::::
<JenDoctor> # Patience Fred. I assure you this is less of a pleasure jaunt and more a mission of mercy. Or rather a mission to find a valuable ally.
<DWDocCrew> @ order> This way, Lady and Gentlemen.
<IrishTCat> # ~I thought you said it was going to be a trip without problems, Maker?~
<NADW_Ham> @ Oh... Is Monkgoing to wait in the automobile after all?
<DWDocCrew> @ Monk> I wonder if they have any lawyers locked up in here?
<JenDoctor> # And according to this Time Beacon, we're right on schedule. ::reads the console:: Upstate New York, Anno Domini 1940, precisely 2 months after I left it.
<NADW_Ham> @ Not any GOOD lawyers. ::grins::
<DWDocCrew> <he hasn't seen Doc for 3-4 years, Jen>
<JenDoctor> # We're going to see an old friend of mine Irish. Just as soon as we follow this welcome mat. ::resets the coordinates and activates the landing sequence::
<DWDocCrew> @ ::the orderly opens the door and motions for them to enter::::
<JenDoctor> <Ok fix in the log.>
<DWDocCrew> <yep yep>
<DWDocCrew> @ :::the crew steps inside, with the orderly closing the door behind them::::
<DWDocCrew> @ Monk> Doc!! Is this where you've been the past week?
<Long_Tom> @:::Long Tom inquire os the Orderly where are you taking us?
<NADW_Ham> @ Couriser and couriouser
<DWDocCrew> @ ::::Johnny looks around at the library, which has a long table with many chairs and lots of bookcases:::
<JenDoctor> # ::looks at his friends:: Hmmm, I think a change of attire is in order. Fred, in the wardrobe left aisle, I think you'll find a dress to your liking.
<JenDoctor> # I'm afraid pants and bomber jackets aren't exactly appropriate for young ladies in this time period. Well unless you're Amelia Earhardt... but that's another story.
<DWDocCrew> @ Johnny> Necessarily sparse in aperturage.
<JenDoctor> # ::slips on a long period coat and bowler hat::
<IrishTCat> # ::Hops off the Time Rotor and roams about the Console Room::
<DWDocCrew> @ ::Doc is seated at the table, behind the door, next to a smallish, unassuming man:::
<DWDocCrew> @ Doc> Among other places, Monk.
<JenDoctor> # ::Fred returns in a navy blue swing dress and patent-leather maryjanes:: Suitable?
<DWDocCrew> @ :::Doc's melodious voice seems to fill the room, without raising his voice:::
<Long_Tom> @Long Tom>Doc Why are we here?
<DWDocCrew> <I'm going to have Doc start explaining, so you have them come up to the door whenever you're ready>
<JenDoctor> # Perfect. ::TARDIS rematerializes in a service alley beside a tall Georgian style building that reads "Folcroft Sanitarium"::
<DWDocCrew> @ Doc> Have a seat, everyone.
<JenDoctor> <Ok, we just landed.>
<DWDocCrew> <any catch the injoke on the name of the sanitarium?>
<Long_Tom> @ Long Tom::: takes his place at the table.
<NADW_Ham> @ ::Pulls out chair for Pat:::
<DWDocCrew> @ :::Renny, Pat, Johnny and Monk sit down::::
<JenDoctor> # ::opens TARDIS door and grabs a crystal-handle walking stick under the coat rack::
<NADW_Ham> @ ::Sits::
<DWDocCrew> @ :::Pat smiles at Ham while Monk glowers at him:::
<JenDoctor> # Very well then, we're off. Uh, just in case anyone asks I'll do the talking. Irish, don't give me that look. I told you, it will be fine!
<Long_Tom> @:::Long Tom Chuckles at Pat and Ham and Monk.
<DWDocCrew> @ Doc> First, let me introduce you all to Impiccione Frate. ::he nods at the man sitting next to him:::
<IrishTCat> # ::Runs out of the TARDIS between Maker's legs::
<JenDoctor> # ::Doctor exits TARDIS and strides to the Sanitarium entrance::
<NADW_Ham> @ Frate? :::Smiles:: Italian by any chance?
<IrishTCat> # ::Looks at Maker with this very weird look:: ~You're going to get my coat ruffled, Maker, I just know it~
<JenDoctor> # ::Fred follows a little more slowly, absorbed with the sights and sounds of this odd place::
<DWDocCrew> @ :::Doc quickly names his aides and Pat to the man, who looks at them each in turn, but somehow distantly as well:::
<Long_Tom> <uh oh seems like Frate recognizes everyone.>
<JenDoctor> # ::Fred takes an extra long look at the 4-wheeled contraption parked outside wondering if it's meant for some sort of primitive transport::
<DWDocCrew> @ Monk> :::whispering to Johnny:: My Eye-talian is a bit rusty.  What does that joe's name mean in american?
<JenDoctor> # ::Doctor rings the bell::
<DWDocCrew> @ Johnny> ::whispering back::: It means "meddlesome monk".
<JenDoctor> # ::a window slides open in the door revealing a dour-faced man:: What do you want?
<JenDoctor> # Hello my good man, is Doc Savage in today?
<DWDocCrew> @ Renny> He doesn't look too crazy to me Doc.
<JenDoctor> # Orderly> We're closed to solicitors. Move along. ::slides window shut::
<JenDoctor> # ::stops the window with his walking stick::
<DWDocCrew> @ Doc> There have been 3 attempts in the past month to kidnap Mr. Frate.
<Long_Tom> @Long Tom>He gives me the hebbie jebbies!
<DWDocCrew> @ Renny> Kidnap? Not break out?
<JenDoctor> # Of course you are, but as you see I am not here to solicit anything. Although I wouldn't object to a cup of tea. ::smiles disarmingly::
<DWDocCrew> @ Pat> How were the attempts foiled?
<NADW_Ham> @ :::Softly to Long TOm:: It's the eyes.... They have seen far too much
<JenDoctor> # ::drops smile when he realizes its not getting him anywhere::
<DWDocCrew> @ Johnny> A most peculiar situation.
<NADW_Ham> @ ::Still in a whisper:: Remember the poor lads who were shell shocked in the Great War...
<JenDoctor> # Would you be so kind as to tell Doc Savage that the Doctor is here and wishes to speak to him.
<JenDoctor> # ::orderly opens window all the way:: The Doctor, you say?!
<DWDocCrew> @ :::Doc pulls a pocket watch out of his vest:::
<Long_Tom> @Long Tom>Doc, Do you know why anyone wolud want to abduct Frate?
<DWDocCrew> @ Doc> We should be receiving visitors any moment, who should be able to help answer your questions.
<JenDoctor> # Yes, and these are my friends Miss O'Connell and uh her pet Irish. I promise we won't take--
<DWDocCrew> @ :::Doc looks at the watch, whose face seems to be glowing in a pulsating rhythm:::
<IrishTCat> # ~Pet?~  ::Humph::
<JenDoctor> # ::orderly opens door:: Well why didn't ya say so in the first place. Doc Savage has been waitin' fer you.
<DWDocCrew> @ Monk> That sorta looks familiar, Doc.  What is it?
<JenDoctor> # Oh, good, good. We'll follow you then. ::adds when orderly starts walking away::
<NADW_Ham> @ ::: Muses Mr Frate's question::
<Long_Tom> @Long Tom> looks like an alarm to me.
<JenDoctor> # ::turns back to friends:: See, I told you. Come on.

<JenDoctor> @ Kidnap attempts here in Folcroft? They must have been formidable to circumvent your security.
