I do not have the spot you want to be. As I mentioned above post - I only have saved games for major puzzles.

If you want the major puzzles saved games - tell me. I don't have after Deidre's note saved game.

hi mag. surely Alibi in Ashes is a major puzzle. if you don't have post Deirdre saved games, so let it be. robert.

hi mag. here we try again, for the 4th time. i am trying aRdNeK's w/t. similar to yours but with minor differences. after Ned is kicked out of Alexei's shop, he is supposed to drive to the police station and get Nancys house-keys from the drop box. how is this possible as the items retrieval point is INSIDE the station! robert.

That must be it then. I wondered why your Ned can't get to it.

There is a cabinet type cover outside the police station. It is on the wall.

Any character can drive to the police station and click on the building to get a close up.

The characters pick things up from that box outside while Nancy places and gets items from inside the station.

hi mag. you described it well but i cannot find this 'cabinet type cover' outside the police station. is it accessible only after hitting or pushing something? is it left or right of the package drop? do you have a picture of what i am looking for? robert.

It is the package drop.

hi mag. got the housekeys. thanks for the guidance, mag. now, how do i open the fingerprint dusting kit to get brush, powder and tape. i am sure it's covered in your w/t but i haven't reached it yet. robert.

When you see an item to take print from - use the kit on it.
You should see the items then.

hi mag. that's what i am asking. how do you open and use the kit? robert.

Try and click the kit on an object you want to take a print on and see if the kit automatically spreads out the item in the screen.

dear mag. when you say in your w/t 'open the bottom drawer and see the lock pick codes', do you mean just CLICK or just LOOK. in view of all the mistakes i seem to make, clicking and mearly looking seems to make a difference to the outcome. robert. p.s. i'm trying to decypher what you really mean the result to be. we are always misconstruing what you say in your walkthrough.

Do you know that they are codes? Find out if they are codes then.
If you are in doubt anything in a game - click it or learn what it is.
You can also check other walkthroughs and not use mine.

hi mag. i am at 'see an ether bottle' but what do you mean by 'if caught'? caught at what? robert.

What you have been doing at the antique store is behind Alexei's back. That is why you sent him to the backroom to get something - out of the way.

So he might come back early and you will be caught doing things that you should not.

hi mag. i have Alexei's print, opened the trunk, read newspaper, found the ether etc. but i can't get him to talk about the alarm key. what am i missing? robert.
