  1. Resume from saved game

You are at McCarran International Airport, Terminal 3, to catch United 728 to San Francisco from gate D53.
The TSA agent has just started to pat you down and seems a bit grabby.

EXAMINE BACK YARD

The humming noise turns out to be a gardener trimming the lawn next to the path with an electric weed whacker. He has turned his back to you, but you can see he’s a burly man, maybe 1.90, 1.95 m tall.He is wearing safety boots, a denim bib overall, no shirt, a red neckerchief, glasses or safety goggles, gardening gloves and a big japanese straw hat.

EXAMINE PARCEL SLIP

It looks like this:

You notice that the slip has yesterday’s date on it, and that box #2 - We will try again on the next weekday - is ticked.

EXAMINE WHITE HOUSE

You turn around and start to walk from the grey house to the white house.
You cross the street.
As you walk up to the white house, you hear a truck turning into the street.
You turn around and see an UPS truck.
The UPS truck pulls up to the grey house and stops at the curb.

IMPERSONATE HOUSEHOLDER

(Let’s see how good the parser is…)

You stroll up all casual-like to the white house.
You see a guy standing at the curb, looking across the street to an UPS delivery van that has just pulled up to the grey house.

EXAMINE PACKAGE

You haven’t got the package yet.
Also, now there’s a guy in a blue shirt with big googely eyes in front of the white house, watching you.

GREET BLUE GUY

He greets you in return, but offers no further information.
He comes across as a little nervous and seems to seize you up.

ASK GUY ABOUT HOUSE

The nearest house to the left is a squarish, white, two-storey building.
The nearest house to the right is painted light grey, with two storeys and a portico.

ASK BLUE GUY ABOUT GREY HOUSE

The guy in the blue shirt mumbles something about him visiting friends in the neighbourhood, not knowing the residents of the grey house but thinking they are not home at the moment, then looks at his watch (a Garmin vivomove, actually), says he’s late for something and shuffles off towards the entrance of the private street.
