9:25 P.M.

From the ballroom, you hear the supergroovy new Lyle Lovett song, "That's Right (You're Not From Texas)."

You run to the steel door and find it open. When the Big Bad Wolf sees what you're doing, he comes out of the elevator and runs across the wine cellar towards you.

In the furnace room, you can hear Mike Wellman howling in grief. Someone else yells after you, "THIS IS THE POLICE! STOP OR I'LL SHOOT!"

You go through the steel door and enter a long room with a console in the middle. Pipes and wires are running overhead, and you see a fuse box on the north wall. There's one door in the north and two doors in the south.

The console in the middle of the room contains three video monitors: one shows the ballroom, one shows the dining room, and one shows the pool. If you can figure out the controls, it looks like you'll be able to use the three monitors to see what's going on in any area of the house, and also to see what was going on in those areas at different times during the night.

You notice that it's possible to deadbolt the steel door from your side. You hear the Big Bad Wolf and the policeman in the wine cellar, getting closer.

If you bolt the steel door, then check out the console, click here.

Click here to nap.
