"I think we should get to the top of the next row over and see if there are foot marks or any disturbing of the dust up top. Not this one, don't want to disturb anything before the local law enforcement arrives but yes, I am curious to know if some one was up there recently," she said as she looked at the ladder and then moved over to the next row and pulled ladder over there. "This is where you youngsters come in," she said with a grin. The woman was obviously more than capable still wielding her weapon but hey, maybe her knees were bad at her age. "I'll keep an eye on the crates for now." Akhmed nodded towards Mosi before turning his attention back to Josephine. "You needn't worry, I will be a rock as long as you have need for one and a pillow after that if you would like," he said with a wiry grin before standing and keeping her pulled close to him. Vera looked over at Reginald and shook her head. [color=f7976a]"I shall come with you Lord Major. I do wish to examine as well, see if perhaps more is missing down there than what you all have noticed. No one knows the cataloging system better than I,"[/color] the Lady Munn said insisting that she go along. She bit her bottom lip slightly. She wasn't exactly a brave person but her reason was this. She trusted the Lord Major, she trusted Lady Kingston, she did not trust the front guard more than her own uncle and she didn't know her new assistant that well as of yet. It was logical that she should go to the archives. Akhmed was going to suggest that he escort Lady Munn to the front for the Lord Major but it seemed she was firm on remaining with her uncle. Nodding he kept a tight arm around Josephine and began to make his way out of the office and towards the front to catch up with Mosi. Hopefully the curator had notified the local authorities by now and they would be here shortly. "Let us get you out of here?" he said in a calming voice as he continued to walk. Vera looked around. The fact that Mr. Drake had vanished was not sitting well with her. She would have to check the logs at the front of the museum to see if he signed out before he left for the day. Though if he hadn't it wouldn't mean much. He tended to snub his nose at such paper work. She was the one that normally had to sign out for him. Looking at her watch she checked the time, there was still time for Peter and George to return before she started worrying. [color=f7976a]"Yes, let us go check out the archives. Perhaps they could use a hand down there,"[/color] she added as she moved to walk towards the door of her office. In true Vera form she tripped over the edge of the table as it caught her shin. Yet she managed to catch herself as well before making her way out of the office. Normally she would have locked it but at this moment, what was the point. What was important in there had already been stolen hadn't it?
