ENTRY 1: THE FIGHT
------------------
The team received a telegraph from
friend and colleague Jackson Elias, stating
that he had information about a famous
archaeological expedition (the Carlyle
Expedition) and requesting a meeting
when he returned to New York from
Shanghai,
where the telegraph originated. The
team researched the Carlyle Expedition and
aftermath some, and then waited for
Jackson to make contact.
He did so, on 15 January, 1925. He
requested a meeting in Room 14 of the
Chelsea Hotel (which is in Harlem)
at 8:00pm. He sounded agitated on the phone.
Everyone went to the hotel room at
the appropriate time, and found the door locked.
Katya was kind enough to offer her
skills at picking the lock, and immediately upon
opening the door, she and Elizabeth
were attacked by two very large, very fast
colored men in some sort of ceremonial
dress. The men had machettis, and
quickly disposed of Elizabeth as an
opponent. Adrian helped apply pressure to her
wound, and Katya, Jonathan, and Jim
pursued and killed the three tribesmen that were
in the room. There were many gunshots,
and police were alerted by the hotel
clerk and later Beatrice. Beatrice
and Katya thought it best to leave before
the police arrived, and Katya ransacked
the hotel room on her way out.
By this time, the party realized that
their friend Jackson was lying very
messily torn open on the bed of the
hotel room. And the police showed up.
