Speaker 9: Okay, fine, just keep the crowd calm and steal.
Speaker 5: Off the area.
Speaker 2: Steal it off with what mac.
Speaker 9: Just keep the crowd away and we'll order some barcaide
Speaker 9: tape that I will strangle you with.
Speaker 5: Sound good, you got it?
Speaker 7: Boss, Here you.
Speaker 5: Go, dear, we'll get you home soon enough. Albert, did
Speaker 5: you call mister and missus Crawford.
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am, they'll be here soon and this will all
Speaker 2: be over with.

Speaker 9: you saw.
Speaker 8: So you know we have nationals coming up. Sure sure
Speaker 8: for track, yes, cross country.
Speaker 9: Sure, track outside, got it.
Speaker 2: They're very different.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 8: So I was doing my sunrise durance training twelve miles round.
Speaker 9: You run twelve miles every day at sunrise.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not crazy.
Speaker 8: I take Sundays off. So I was nearing my firepoint
Speaker 8: before circling back up the river. That's when I heard
Speaker 8: it haired eight.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 8: Something in the woods was moving. First, I don't know.
Speaker 8: I thought it was a squirrel or a chipmunk, but
Speaker 8: the crunching of the ground was too much for something
Speaker 8: that small.
Speaker 9: Could I have been a bulbcat, a fox?
Speaker 5: Maybe?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 8: All I know is that when I saw something run off,
Speaker 8: I thought I heard someone gasp.
Speaker 4: It's okay.
Speaker 9: Immediately I'm sure it was a critter scuddying off.
Speaker 8: But that's when I saw it.
Speaker 2: The caddyon whatever that is, I don't know.
Speaker 8: I saw human teeth, an entire side of a jawbone
Speaker 8: sticking out of those slabs of hush.
Speaker 5: Sure, sure, it's okay.
Speaker 8: So I ran to the station. An officer, Albert brought
Speaker 8: me back here.
Speaker 5: And you didn't tell anyone else.
Speaker 8: I tried to post about it, since I didn't know
Speaker 8: what to do, but it didn't even go through.
Speaker 5: Lucky for you that it wasn't posted or else. See
Speaker 5: those people.
Speaker 9: Yeah, there would be three times as many onlookers. And
Speaker 9: how many onlookers is too many?
Speaker 3: Many?
Speaker 2: Lee, I don't know. One one is too many?
Speaker 8: As far as I'm.
Speaker 9: Sheriff, wait here with Albert for a second, love.
Speaker 2: Jariff, what happened to Mary?
Speaker 4: Can we go look?
Speaker 9: Sharon Fox Tanner, Greg Brendan, Michelle. If you'll bear with
Speaker 9: us for a little bit longer, we'll have some answers.
Speaker 9: Excuse me, I don't seem to recognize you.
Speaker 2: That's because I'm not from here.
Speaker 9: That's interesting because this is a possible crime scene and
Speaker 9: you're the only non local here. So unless you're friends
Speaker 9: with that young woman over there, we need to have
Speaker 9: a talk about where you're from and why you are here.
Speaker 5: Hey. Sorry, I was chatting with Tanner. Yes, she's with me.
Speaker 5: I'm what she's with you? Yes, sorry, Sheriff Max and Allen.
Speaker 7: This is Sarah Simmons from Boston's Institute for Wildlife Research
Speaker 7: and Holistic Preservation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, holistic? What is she? A reporter?
Speaker 2: She is right here and she can answer for herself. Thanks, Gordon. Hi,
Speaker 2: I'm Sarah Simmons. I'm a creative journalist from Boston, and
Speaker 2: while not technically unemployed reporter, I am a journalist and
Speaker 2: I'm here because every siren in your village race passed
Speaker 2: us while we were at the library. Care to say
Speaker 2: anything on the record?
Speaker 9: There is no record and there's nothing to comment on.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 7: That's so weird because Olbert was telling Tanner and Greg
Speaker 7: before we all arrived that Alfonso over at.
Speaker 5: The diner was report missing around four this morning.
Speaker 9: All Right, put that device away, Sarah. I don't know
Speaker 9: what that is down there, and I won't comment till
Speaker 9: forensics from Bloomington arrive. But my money a moose got
Speaker 9: into it with a gray Fox and one Alfonso has
Speaker 9: been known to pop on down to Mohigan every now
Speaker 9: and then, and his mom is special, so I wouldn't
Speaker 9: hold my breath. Right, everyone, I'm going to need you
Speaker 9: all to go home. Mary Lee's folks are here, and
Speaker 9: you should all go comfort her and her family in
Speaker 9: the privacy of their house.
Speaker 2: If anything comes.
Speaker 9: To light for us, you will all be the first
Speaker 9: to know.
Speaker 5: Albert all right, gang show's over? Pack it up? How's
Speaker 5: the interneting going?
Speaker 2: This style up is so slow? I'm considering Pony Express.
Speaker 5: Yes, well, at least we have fresh air.
Speaker 2: You're a glass half full kind of guy, aren't you.
Speaker 5: I have no choice?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 4: Bye?
Speaker 2: Gordon Gordon?
Speaker 7: Ah, Yes, how did you get the name Gordon if
Speaker 7: you don't look like a Gordon?
Speaker 2: I mean maybe your folks were fans of Gordon Ramsey. Nope,
Speaker 2: race car driver legend, Jeff Gordon.
Speaker 5: Football Leae baseball only household flash.
Speaker 2: You know I tried using that ones and what happened.
Speaker 5: I went home alone.
Speaker 2: Okay, I give up. Tell me that's your name, Vicente?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Vincent in Espanol.
Speaker 2: That's a great name.
Speaker 5: Oh, I know, but.
Speaker 7: My entire family and friends growing up didn't care because
Speaker 7: since I was a full figured they called me Gordo.
Speaker 2: Gordo.
Speaker 7: It's one of those reverse endeering Spanish nicknames that is
Speaker 7: extremely painful, but hidden under the guy said.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's a cute, adorable pet name.
Speaker 4: How cute.
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: I think I caught pretty in there.
Speaker 5: That's all you need.
Speaker 2: But wait, so you hated grdo but kept it and
Speaker 2: made it.
Speaker 7: Assimilation is a hell of a drug, Miss Simmons. Ooh,
Speaker 7: the first hit is when people smile and laugh at it,
Speaker 7: and then you try and make it to your own
Speaker 7: because you're so hooked on your own supply that you
Speaker 7: make the regretful decision when applying to.
Speaker 5: College to make Gordon your name.
Speaker 7: Felve years later, here we are trying to help a
Speaker 7: pretty city lady online in a two hundred year old
Speaker 7: church turn library.
Speaker 2: You mean, Linda, right.
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe once we.
Speaker 2: Where was that?
Speaker 5: No idea?

Speaker 7: it us quite a scare.

Speaker 5: Well? So you can see everything is literally.
Speaker 7: Close and I get pretty much all my meals from
Speaker 7: Shawls and they're going to close it four.
Speaker 5: So if you'll suffer through a local greasy spooon meal.
Speaker 5: Can we try again right after?

Speaker 7: But apparently, and this is the rumor, he really yelled
Speaker 7: at Fonso the cook and basically that you and me.
Speaker 2: Of the restaurant, overworked and barely paid exactly, So he's
Speaker 2: not down at Foxwoods or Mohegan.
Speaker 7: Fonso doesn't have a car. He has an electric scooter
Speaker 7: that never left the restaurant.

Speaker 2: You man's playing to me? The world of podcasts? Oh
Speaker 2: would never yield keeper of the books with no Internet?
Speaker 2: I think you'd never heard of one.

Speaker 7: Luomington or on good signal days, they all get downloaded
Speaker 7: right to.
Speaker 5: Your phone or a computer.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 7: So anyway, I'm just saying people can let their psychopathic
Speaker 7: or sociopathic tendencies take.
Speaker 5: Over just a snap.
Speaker 2: Ah, Now a man's planning mental health.
Speaker 5: Wow, I'm serious. Look at Sean. Okay, Duo looks like
