A long orange extension cord lies unplugged beside the lighthouse display. It clearly belongs to the venue — but somebody moved it recently.

WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE?

Do you…

• Ask the Debt-Strapped Insider if they used it to set up equipment?

• Check behind the display where the cord was originally coiled — someone may have shifted it to access a hiding spot?

• Ask the Rival Developer if they borrowed it for their comparison materials?

You’re closer than you think. Or farther.
