The next morning I went to Central Park where the Deanswell family were when young William disappeared, a central location with a walkway to the east and a small wooded area to the west, no way for someone to take a child with out anyone noticing. How did they do it, how did they kidnap that poor kid right in plain sight? I notice a small piece of fabric hanging from the scrubery, a navy blue material just like the jacket the boy was warring, I search the thick brush and deep inside I find an old maintenance hatch. With enough pulling it finally opens and I look down into it, it was very dark so I pulled my lighter out of my pocket and tryed using it to see more but it's not enough. I close the hatch and crawl out of the brush, I needed to find out were that hatch leads because it may just be how the kidnapper got away so stealthily. The best way to find out where it goes is to obtain the charts for Central Park so I headed to the city offices, I walk in and approach the front desk "Ya need somethin' hon?" the lady at the desk asks. "Yes I need to see the keeper of the city records" I say to her, "One moment please" she replied then pages someone on the phone "He'll be out in justa moment hon".
A minute later a skiny baldheaded man with round glasses walks out "Hello miss how may I help you?" He asks, "Yes my name is Rosie Gardens, I'm a private investigator and I'm looking into the disappearance of the Deanswell kid, I need to see any charts on underground tunnels in Central Park" I say to him, he smiles "Well I can do that no problem, please follow me miss Gardens". He leads me to the public record and began collecting all he can find and brings then to me and I start looking them over in hopes of finding what I need.
