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. 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.

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

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.

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.

You should ask first about Brenda and about his past.

BTW - did you get the alarm keys already?

Is that no - you don't have the alarm keys yet or no - you have not asked him about Brenda?

You should have gotten the alarm key by the trunk earlier in the game and have given it to Nancy via the package drop. That is if you're following the GB walkthrough.

Then you can ask Alexei about it.

You might be missing getting or picking up the key (that I asked about).
You might be missing giving the alarm key to Nancy.
Or you might be missing some other steps before this - check the walkthrough or your To Do list.

I can't even try to guess your problem since you don't answer my questions so that I can cross off possibilities.

Better finish the To Do - "take a good look around antique shop" first and then go from there.

mag. the answer to your question re. alarm key is no. i thought this was obvious as i can't get Alexei to even talk about the alarm key in his dialogue. that's why i am asking you. meantime, i will search the antique shop for ... i don 't know what. thanks, robert.

No - you didn't reply about the key nor is it obvious to me.

It would be best if you follow A walkthrough and then you can pinpoint what you missed.

Then get Alexei out of the way and pick the key up beside the antique store's trunk and proceed from there.
