EXTERIOR
Clyde Baughman's address is an inconspicuous apartment building in a declining, working-class neighborhood.
The building is a jarring example of early 1960s design, blocky and drab. No one takes notice of a small group of reasonably cautious Agents entering the building or Baughman’s apartment. There are no surveillance cameras around.
INTERIOR
The interior of Baughman’s small apartment is Spartan and grim. Aside from a patina of cigarette smoke there is scant evidence that anyone actually lived there.
FRONT DOOR
Just inside the door, a Ring of labeled keys hangs from a hook (including a key to his cabin).
LIVING AREA
A well-worn couch faces an archaic, squat television that carries basic cable only, no VHS player. FIND HIDDEN = Tucked under the couch are a Labeled VHS Tape and a unlabelled Unknown
On the adjacent coffee table are a stack of mostly completed crossword puzzle books, issues of Sports Illustrated and Reader’s Digest, and a box of unhealthily artificial donuts (powdered sugar), now crumbling and dry.
KITCHEN DINER
The adjoining kitchen is mostly bare, with a smattering of cans, pans, and boxes. The only human touch is a crudely drawn human figure entitled “Granpa” (signed “Cassie” and bearing two gold stars from the teacher) hanging on the refrigerator.
HALL
Down the hall are a linen closet (of no interest) and a small bathroom.
BATHROOM
The bathroom is in a disturbed state: a broken towel rack, a cracked shower door, a few fragments of a broken ceramic toothbrush-holder swept into a corner. There also persist faint traces of the smell of Baughman’s corpse; this is where he died.
BEDROOM 1
Baughman occupied one of the two bedrooms at the end of the hall. It holds a queen-sized bed and a dresser on top of which rest photographs of Clyde and his late wife Marlene Baughman, high school graduation pictures of his two children, a few photos of a grandchild, and a ceramic paperweight of a child’s handprint with the name “Cassie, age 4” crudely painted on it.
BEDROOM 2
Baughman used the other bedroom as an office and for storage. There is no computer. It takes one Agent about 12 hours to go through the many papers here and systematically examine them. The work can be divided between several Agents. Halve the time required if at least one Agent has Accounting at 30% or better. Reviewing the papers reveals that Baughman owned a cabin in a rural area, about four hours away by car. The papers provide coordinates to Clyde Baughman's Cabin
There is nothing else of note in the apartment.
