"Do you have any ideas? Maybe we could sneak into the house, if you know your way around it, and find her there without catching attention?"

"Yeah, I think it's this or break in."

"Is it really breaking in if Oswald's part of the family and we're there by his invitation?"

⁉️ ✅

"Pretty sure that's still breaking in? Assuming Oswald doesn't own the property."

"It wouldn't be breaking in for me to drop by my parents' place and pick something up, but. I guess all families are different."

"Yeah, but your parents don't have your sister tied up in their basement. I'm assuming."

"Also, would you go through the front door openly or would you try to sneak into the basement."

"I mean, she might be doing corde right now, but probably not in a basement."

"I could figure out a way in but I'm not sure I could get into the basement. I know my way around the rest of the grounds."

"I don't think we can all get in without being spotted, and I think that one lone person breaking in is more likely to get themselves killed than six people confronting him, especially if one of the people is a cop."

"I mean, I think we should sneak into Trammel's place if we're gonna, I'm just saying that Oswald being there isn't weird."

"It's a little weird when I'm supposed to be in New York and my sister has been asking about a murder."

"Are cops allowed to sneak into places? I guess that's a good plan A if you think he'll go for it."

"Walt's in the Suicide Club. If he's not allowed to sneak into places then he's already screwed that pooch."

"- Do you remember what the house's floorplan is like? Did the basement connect to an external crawlspace or the like?"

"There are stairs to the cellar in the front hall and the kitchen. The front hall is definitely not the best way to get in, though, anyone can see you there. The kitchen's round the back, that might work."

"- Actually, possibly it'd be worth going to City Hall for the official floorplan, and checking whether you know of any deviations from it? And then we'd all have a clearer idea of what it's like?"

"The city hall plan might be good. Failing that, maybe you could draw us a map? I do think we should be hurrying things along."

Oswald sketches out the following map: 

(The kitchen is 6, the cellar doors are 2.)

"The official floorplan might have more detail about the basement's layout, and there's a limit to how much a construction's basement can safely deviate from its original plan, because it affects the layout of the foundations."

"Looks possible to head right into the kitchen from the outside and go right into the cellar? But we'd need to be able to unlock it."

He's frowning. "It's heavier traffic than ideal. There are about half a dozen servants, and that's the entrance they use -- and I think distributors come in right next to it, through the patio. I'm also concerned about being seen from the carriage house, it's in line with that corner. ...Really it'd be easier to get in through the conservatory, it's on the opposite side of the house and the entrance is hidden, but that connects to the library and the office, and who knows if there's a basement entrance in there. Guess there might be."

(The conservatory is 9 on the map.)

"That sounds like the sort of thing we'd want real floor plans to confirm."

They agree to split up-- Mordred, Zoe, and Anemone to call the cops, and Oswald and Carrie to obtain floor plans. 

Carrie notices that she is being followed by Jack Pizner, and that he seems to be totally unarmed.
