Start
Sheriff: You are now positive that Calvin is behind the Outpost, Newport and everything else? This man is paying my salary. I am sorry, I can't help you.But I have a new lead. I do not know what is wrong these days, people keep asking me about this Calvin. Just some days ago a stranger came in and asked me where to find him. You asked me for the name of this stranger? I have no idea, he did not give me a name... Did not talk a lot. He was a creepy fellow, always playing on an old harmonica. It gave me a shiver...But I remember something, he asked me for some paper to make a note. I still got the pile of paper he used. He took the first page. If you get me some chalk, maybe we can make a copy of his handwriting.
Finish
The sheriff rubs the chalk on the pile of paper the stranger made a note on. You can see a press copy of the writing.Sheriff:Perfect. It says "Take Mortimer Railroad to Saltwater at 5 pm". Hmm, this means he wanted to take the train. That is worth a try.

I got an offer to kidnap a man. Once I arrived at the Ranch I saw that there was a boy too. I do not kidnap boys.I ripped the piece of cloth from my coat as I ran away from the ranch. I do not know the name of the man who made the offer. As I saw this nameless stranger on the station I thought maybe you are the new one who is assigned to kidnap the boy. I wanted to stop you. Sorry for that.So Chayenne claims he did not do it. Then who is the real culprit? You should get back to Jenny.
