Thanks Dwickstorm. You're suggestions are very on the mark. I do have a "Watching person" who also dubbles as a red herring. The sight items sound like a good suggestion. I see we've all done our mandatory USUAL SUSPECTS watching.

Re: Herring
Red Herring - a device used to divert attention from the real issue onto a false storyline.
Example
__________________________________________________ ____________
INT. CROWDED COMPUTER STORE -- AFTERNOON
DAN browses through the sriptwriting software.
SALESPERSON (OS)
(from behind Dan)
Can I help you?
DAN turns and looks up just as a GUNSHOT is heard. He slumps to his knees. The SALESPERSON
puts a gun in his/her pocket and leans over DAN.
DAN
(gasping)
What..? Ooh, that hurts...
SALESPERSON
Shh. Relax. You'll be okay.
(yelling)
Somebody get an ambulance! Christ... hurry!

LOL... Now, did the salesperson actually shoot Dan? We don't know but we think so.
Got it?
Long winded... but consider red herring defined...
