2: Taken

NOTE: A ticklist for the collectible items is included at the end of each chapter -- you will want to review this before you begin the chapters to familiarize yourself with these. 

The introduction to this episode is a recap of the events of the previous one, and the way it plays out feels a lot like watching Lost!  This episode begins with a flashback to earlier, when the Wake's were still at home in New York City.

 

New York City, 3 Years Ago

 


Reassurances for Alice

 

The chapter opens with Alan coming home on a cold and blustery day.  We may as well explore the apartment a little before we get into the meat of the flashback, right?  I mean how often do you think we will be able to come here?

I don't know about you but I think they have a really nice bathroom -- check out that shower!   Exit the bathroom and head into the bedroom -- there is a radio here and you can get a weather report on it but it does not count as one of the collectibles for the Radios.  That is sort of odd, I think they must have forgot that this one was here or something?

Back in the hall there is an office on the right, where you can view a collectible (Manuscript Page 11/106 and 12/106) and examine some of your books on the shelf here.    Now head into the other office that Alice is in, and grab the Thermos here (Coffee Thermos 15/100) and then head for the kitchen, where you need to turn on the coffee maker.

Return to Alice for a conversation, and then go next door and examine the mock-ups.  More conversation, and then the power goes out!  Alice freaks, and you get a loving CS in which you do your duty as the comforting presence.  The flashback ends with a gentle song.
