"There she is now, mate," said the private eye, a little more than irritated that yet another person came along. "Right... Keep yer voices down now and follow me." Marcus led the trio of people around back, using a series of gestures to keep them silent. He led them to a staircase that went downward. He paused and said, "Careful now, the stairs are mossy." It was clear that they were not used very often at all. It took several minutes, but they were soon in what looked to be catacombs. He felt for the hidden door and soon they were plunged into complete darkness. "Shhh," he hushed, "Keep as quiet as ye can, the walls are thinner than ye might think."
The passageway took them up a slope and soon, they were walking on the wooden floorboards which groaned and creaked in protest at the four bodies now walking upon it. Assuming everyone followed Marcus, that is.
Finally, they came to a place where they could observe what went on in the brothel. They didn't have to wait long at all before hearing Magnus on his rampage. Pearl gasped when she spied her brother carrying the dead woman and carrying on about who did what. Marcus put a hand over her mouth and bade her to be quiet before instructing her to go get the constable.
