Opened on May 1, 1931 by President Hoover pressing a button to turn on the lights from Washington, D.C., this 103 floored skyscraper sits on 2 acres in the heart of Manhattan on the corner of 5th Avenue and 34th Street.

It is 1,454 feet tall, cost $40,948,900 to build (including the land), weighs 365,000 tons, has 1,860 steps to the 102 floor, has 6,500 windows, and required 7,000,000 man hours to build.

It is the tallest building in Manhattan.

They headed out to the first address on the list. An abandoned building scheduled for demolition on 12th Avenue and 37th street.

On the cab ride over there, Andrea reflected on the recent events, as she adjusted her hat and straightened her dress.

She knew Barry was a dedicated detective, but she had never seen him in action before. Her face was flushed. She loved the adrenaline rush brought on by his company and by the thrill of the chase. She could not deny it. This was in her blood and always would be. She wished it could always be like this, working with Barry at her side. But she knew it could never be. He had his work, and she had hers. Still....

She glanced sideways at Barry, who appeared deep in concentration, save for a small grin on his handsome face. She wondered if he was thinking the same thing.

"Barry" - she interrupted his thoughs - "When we get there, how do you want to work this?"

Dave contemplatively watched Barry and Andrea as they left the receptionist's area, then glanced over his shoulder as Lou emerged from the darkened Office behind him. Lou grunted softly to himself, then quietly asked Dave in his usual gruff tone, "We have everything set?"

"Mmm," Dave replied while waiting for his call to go through, "Pulling in the last guys now." He raised the phone to his mouth as he heard a click, "Joe? Menelaus." He waited a moment for the formerly sleeping man to come wide awake and then replied, "Meet me in twenty at the Tricky Mister, and get your brothers up. Target's a 28-year-old, five-foot, six-inch white female, bout 120 pounds, blonde hair, blue eyes. No description on clothes....Mmm. Okay, see you there."

He turned back to Lou as he set the phone back in its cradle, "That's the last one. Menelaus is now on full-alert until the girl's found, one way or another."

They both exchanged grim glances at that. "Let's hope this turns out to be a rescue and not a recovery," Lou muttered.

"Amen to that," Dave sighed tiredly, "I'm on my way now to meet Joe down at the bar where we believe the girl was last seen. After that, I'm gonna go have a chat with ol' Horace, and see if I can get his people to help us out with this."

Lou eyed Dave morosely, "Bet Shady's gonna just love you." He pinched the bridge of his nose over his glasses tiredly, then glanced at his watch. "Okay, while you're working your way up from the bottom with Ossie's people, I'll take a crack at the top. Since they're not gonna be too thrilled with a phone call at three in the morning, I'll catch the milk run and be on Arthur's doorstep when he wakes up at six. That should cheer him up loads." He grinned wolfishly at Dave and winked.

Dave chuckled at his boss' rare joke, then both men silently headed out into the deserted skyscraper and the darkened city....

Angel walked back to her office, and took down her sign, she looked around and noticed a man sitting near there. She took her key, unlocked the door and opened it. She walked in, leaving the door open. She went to her desk, sat down, and sorted her papers.

A moment later, she looked up and saw a silhouette standing in the doorway, she liked saving electricity so she always had her office dark except the lone lamp on her desk to read her files.

Angel hangs another sign on her door saying:

"Out of Office for a while, be back later."

Mar-20-2007 19:24

Angel takes down her sign and walks into her office. She gets back to the case that murdered her sister.

Outside, Amanda was walking by the Empire State building. She decided to go inside.

Angel looked at her files, flipped through a few pages and found her list. She still needed to run some errands on her case.

The list said:

visit city hall
talk to shady
talk to the sylvia - see if she knows anything

Now, she memorized the list, and posted a sign that she will be back later and headed out the door.
