Newton Towers Job Centre, Down town

20th October 2008, Arson Fire (10)

The Squad decide to search the whole of the building that is rented by the employment offices, which turns out to be 4 floors (but only the first 2 really in use). Tinkerbell decides to hide the receiver / recording unit they have for there CCTV in the false ceiling space of one of the unused office floors. German Jones returning from his decontamination duty helps out by asking for CCTV footage of the victims (and gets a set of still pictures kept for that purpose by security). Harry takes a closer look at the lockers and discovers that the almost brand new lockers have a mixture of old and new name tags on them. Stacy meanwhile decides check the basement finding both a carpark and a rather large plant room, intrigued she investigates the plant room and discovers that several of the entrances are in fact not locked.

After planting the CCTV hub in the floor/ceiling space Tinkerbell heads down towards the basement on the way checking out the 2 sets of fire escapes and working out that one of the fire escapes is on the odd CCTV sequence away from the filling and rest room areas where as the other one is on the way in to the very same areas. Tinkerbell than decides to get a palm top computer so that she my program the interment CCTV route times and sequences into it. Down in the basement Stacy hits paydirt first with the discovery of a route down into the maintenance tunnels to the sector and levels below (the door of which has a broken look made to look fine) and then with a scrap of pink material caught on a wire cage. At this point both Tinkerbell and Meridian arrive in the basement to help with the search.
Upstairs German and Harry are asked to find out who was wearing pink when they disappeared, it is quickly shown to be Eleanor Hampton the last person to disappear. She is last pictured going into the locker rooms holding the front of her pink blouse out from her although they can not clearly see why. The duo question her immediate co-workers and discover just before she disappeared a client had broken a pen that had subsequently leaked on her. The man who had argued with her and broken the pen a Mr Graham White (something to do with his file going missing) is due in today, they decide to question him.

Stacy continues her digging around in the plant room and discovers a hidden room behind a large tool cabinet inside there is approximately 10 sets of chains (2 of which show recent use) a couple of mattress and a few lockers and filing cabinets. Also discovered are 4 electronic apparatus and the obligatory TV. The lockers contain items of clothing and personal effects from the missing personnel, of note being the heavily bloodstain shirt worn they believe by Marvin Allford, and 3 DataTech overalls (one bloodstained over shoulder) each with eligible name tags. Tinkerbell examines the Electronics and discovers the following.

• A remote switching device used to activate other electronic devices remotely, that can be programed (this can also be used to trigger a bomb)
• A CCTV hub that is tuned into a few sets of hidden cameras around the building
• A Electronic lock picker
• A TechTrex remote controll unit.

Tinkerbell fixes the TechTrex unit to not work but still come on, and then proceeds to add the new camera frequencies to the Squads CCTV hub, then go around and change the squads camera frequencies off from standard ones, German helps her do this.
