As any frequenter of the HTG Chat Room is well aware, Ste300 has been pretty vacant as of late. Not many people are saddened by this, so it almost has to mean there are sinister things afoot. I began my investigative reporting and my research into the how's and why's, and I came to the following conclusion: Ste300 is being held captive in the basement of Rick Arnold's basement. Now, you all may wonder how I could have come to that conclusion? Think about it. Out of all the people here at HTG, Rick Arnold and JGraham are the two that dislike him the most. They have motive.

If he is being held hostage, it would have to be Rick. Poor JGraham is confined to a wheelchair and can't do much physical damage at the moment. Rick Arnold, on the other hand, not only has the physical prowess, but the mindset. He's obsessed with bad guys who like large weapons and hurting people. Jayne from Firefly/Serenity ring a bell? And Ruttin' Productions? This SCREAMS Rick himself has a strange conception of reality where in his mind he IS Jayne.

I decided to hit up some locals for answers. Not many were willing to talk. RS laughed at the suggestion, stating that it would be funny and would explain a lot, but that he himself knew little of the incident. Horton just turned and walked the other way. Are they in on some plot as well? Anyone else I tried to speak with plead to the fifth amendment of the constitution of the United States, wishing not to condemn their social existence on some radical whim of mine.

Finally, I got to the heart of the matter. I found JGraham out and about waiting in line at the HTG store's elevator, his wheel chair preventing the use of escalators or stairs. I asked him about the whereabouts of Ste300, and if he might know anything about Ste being held captive in Rick Arnold's basement. In a cowardly gesture, JGraham stated, "I did not have sexual relations with that man." (Guest EIC note: I will end you). I responded that I never accused him of such a thing, which lead to the first shock of the night. JGraham stood up from his wheel chair and attempted to tackle me to the ground and wrestle the mic away from me. The battle was long and hard, and his lack of needs for that wheel chair took me by surprise (Did anyone else think he was truly injured, or am I the only one he tricked?), but I finally escaped and ran like a little girl.

The next stop was Rick Arnold's house. I cautiously knocked on his door and awaited his arrival. His security system was top notch, and a gun was trained on me at all times, making me quite nervous. But as a journalist, I would die in the line of duty for a good story. Rick finally appeared. When he opened his door, I thought I heard muffled cries from deep within, but I can not be sure. Rick stood before me defiantly.

When asked the same things that JGraham was, Rick replied swiftly with the ever-popular line, "No Comment." Suffice to say, this day ended anti-climactically, with Ste300 still missing. But what was with JGraham and his wheelchair? And what were the muffled screams I thought I heard at the residence of Mr. Arnold? I have a feeling this case is far from closed, but I swear on my honour as a journalist I will keep you all updated. Until next time, this has been Sydias reporting for The Hollywood Pit. Let's just hope I still have a job.
