rom compick. I am the curator of the Anderson Oh.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I mean, doesn't you being the curator make it even
more rom coming.
Speaker 7 (03:28):

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Gordon Morales like you. I am not originally from.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Here, Sarah Simmons. We gave it away.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Oh we won't have that phone model for another ten years.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh so I'm from the future.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Or Boston, same thing.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh, this is stunning. Was this originally the Knave?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Yes, I see, you've done your homework.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Originally a Jesuit missionary camp and then a house of
warship built during the Second Great Awakening. This was the
home of the New Hampshire sect of Old School Puritans.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Ah, the ones that escape religious persecution but didn't tolerate
any other religions once they got here.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
Didn't she says, as if that's not still what makes
the world go round?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh my, is that what I heard?
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Unfortunately I hear it.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Let me help.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
In trying to organize the shelves.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
I managed to top a three hundred years of European
history with one loose bolt.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Impressive. So many have tried and all have failed.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I'll organize these colonizers later.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Are you the only one here?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
You, my new city friend, are looking at not only
the curator of the Anderson Memorial Library.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
No, but also the chief technology officer, the.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Historian, leech helf soccer, and head CASTOLDI super intended.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
So it's just you in a few high school interns.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Head custodial, superintended, Chief tech.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
We have one computer and it's right over there. And yes,
it is a dial up.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Did I just hurt your resume, torpedo, just like I
did to that pile of European history books?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
All right, Casanova, I got to email some folks back home.
How does one dial up anymore?
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
It's really easy. You just load up your ice p.
In our case, it's America on user location and the.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Hush, what what's going on?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Whatever it is? That's our entire emergency force on the
way somewhere.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Question is will you take me there?
Speaker 8 (05:47):
Can?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
I say?
Speaker 5 (05:48):
No? Are you recording?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
No? And yes, Olbert, are you there?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (05:59):
I'm back easy out here?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Anyone else there everyone's.
Speaker 9 (06:03):
Here, practically the whole town.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
They're saying, there's a body in the woods.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
Okay, fine, just keep the crowd calm and steal.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Off the area.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Steal it off with what mac.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
Just keep the crowd away and we'll order some barcaide
tape that I will strangle you with.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Sound good, you got it?
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Boss, Here you.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Go, dear, we'll get you home soon enough. Albert, did
you call mister and missus Crawford.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yes, ma'am, they'll be here soon and this will all
be over with.
Speaker 9 (06:42):
We do need you to try to tell us what
you saw.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
So you know we have nationals coming up. Sure sure
for track, yes, cross country.
Speaker 9 (06:52):
Sure, track outside, got it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
They're very different.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
So I was doing my sunrise durance training twelve miles round.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
You run twelve miles every day at sunrise.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
No, I'm not crazy.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I take Sundays off. So I was nearing my firepoint
before circling back up the river. That's when I heard
it haired eight.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
Something in the woods was moving. First, I don't know.
I thought it was a squirrel or a chipmunk, but
the crunching of the ground was too much for something
that small.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
Could I have been a bulbcat, a fox?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
All I know is that when I saw something run off,
I thought I heard someone gasp.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
It's okay.
Speaker 9 (07:44):
Immediately I'm sure it was a critter scuddying off.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
But that's when I saw it.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
The caddyon whatever that is, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
I saw human teeth, an entire side of a jawbone
sticking out of those slabs of hush.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Sure, sure, it's okay.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
So I ran to the station. An officer, Albert brought
me back here.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
And you didn't tell anyone else.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
I tried to post about it, since I didn't know
what to do, but it didn't even go through.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Lucky for you that it wasn't posted or else. See
those people.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
Yeah, there would be three times as many onlookers. And
how many onlookers is too many?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Many?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Lee, I don't know. One one is too many?
Speaker 8 (08:36):
As far as I'm.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
Sheriff, wait here with Albert for a second, love.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Jariff, what happened to Mary?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Can we go look?
Speaker 9 (08:47):
Sharon Fox Tanner, Greg Brendan, Michelle. If you'll bear with
us for a little bit longer, we'll have some answers.
Excuse me, I don't seem to recognize you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
That's because I'm not from here.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
That's interesting because this is a possible crime scene and
you're the only non local here. So unless you're friends
with that young woman over there, we need to have
a talk about where you're from and why you are here.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Hey. Sorry, I was chatting with Tanner. Yes, she's with me.
I'm what she's with you? Yes, sorry, Sheriff Max and Allen.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
This is Sarah Simmons from Boston's Institute for Wildlife Research
and Holistic Preservation.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Yeah, holistic? What is she? A reporter?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
She is right here and she can answer for herself. Thanks, Gordon. Hi,
I'm Sarah Simmons. I'm a creative journalist from Boston, and
while not technically unemployed reporter, I am a journalist and
I'm here because every siren in your village race passed
us while we were at the library. Care to say
anything on the record?
Speaker 9 (09:50):
There is no record and there's nothing to comment on.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
That's so weird because Olbert was telling Tanner and Greg
before we all arrived that Alfonso over at.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
The diner was report missing around four this morning.
Speaker 9 (10:02):
All Right, put that device away, Sarah. I don't know
what that is down there, and I won't comment till
forensics from Bloomington arrive. But my money a moose got
into it with a gray Fox and one Alfonso has
been known to pop on down to Mohigan every now
and then, and his mom is special, so I wouldn't
(10:23):
hold my breath. Right, everyone, I'm going to need you
all to go home. Mary Lee's folks are here, and
you should all go comfort her and her family in
the privacy of their house.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
If anything comes.
Speaker 9 (10:35):
To light for us, you will all be the first
to know.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Albert all right, gang show's over? Pack it up? How's
the interneting going?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
This style up is so slow? I'm considering Pony Express.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Yes, well, at least we have fresh air.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You're a glass half full kind of guy, aren't you.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I have no choice?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Bye?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Gordon Gordon?
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Ah, Yes, how did you get the name Gordon if
you don't look like a Gordon?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I mean maybe your folks were fans of Gordon Ramsey. Nope,
race car driver legend, Jeff Gordon.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Football Leae baseball only household flash.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You know I tried using that ones and what happened.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I went home alone.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Okay, I give up. Tell me that's your name, Vicente?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah, Vincent in Espanol.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's a great name.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Oh, I know, but.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
My entire family and friends growing up didn't care because
since I was a full figured they called me Gordo.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Gordo.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
It's one of those reverse endeering Spanish nicknames that is
extremely painful, but hidden under the guy said.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh, it's a cute, adorable pet name.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
How cute.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I think I caught pretty in there.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
That's all you need.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But wait, so you hated grdo but kept it and
made it.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Assimilation is a hell of a drug, Miss Simmons. Ooh,
the first hit is when people smile and laugh at it,
and then you try and make it to your own
because you're so hooked on your own supply that you
make the regretful decision when applying to.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
College to make Gordon your name.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Felve years later, here we are trying to help a
pretty city lady online in a two hundred year old
church turn library.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You mean, Linda, right.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Maybe maybe once we.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Where was that?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
No idea?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It's definitely not you fixing some shells.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Come with me, Sarah Jack so Bruner Gordon, he gave
it us quite a scare.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I'm sorry. The door was open, but the lights were
off and I damn near broke my neck tripping over
a huge pile of books on the floor.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's the fall of Europe. I'm sorry, never mind, I
suppose you're here to pick me up.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Was headed back to the house and figured you'd be
done by now.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, totally, Gordon VI Sente, Thank you so much, No.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Problem, Miss Simmons. So I'll keep trying to get this
up and running.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
You do that, and if you need anything, I'm also
the lead tenant though you live here.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Yeah, beat you to your high rise spot.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's the sequel. See you next.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Time, counting on it.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
You've got mail.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Hey, Reema. Jack told me to tell you he was
headed to check on the Crawfords. Sarah.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I wanted to apologize.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Oh it's okay, No, it wasn't. And truly, with everything happening,
the news from the diner, I shouldn't have been so cold. Really,
don't worry about it. Jack mentioned about your son, and
you know, raising teens. You couldn't pay me enough. Oh
he told you that.
Speaker 8 (14:02):
With Avery, he's been having a tough time making friends totally.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Hey, I wasn't able to get in touch with my sister.
Would it be cool if I for.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Sure be my guest.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Just try the phone in the living room. Does that
one have buttons? Yes? It does.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Hi, you've reached.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
If I can't come the phone, what the.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You've read it?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
The fuck? Is everything? Okay? Sorry? Yes, it's my sister's phone.
Is It's fine? Hey, listen, I think I'm going to
walk back into town. I could really use a walk
an the internet at this hour. I mean it's not

Speaker 8 (14:59):
The sunset, it's early nowadays, and you know the diner
fellow news.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Sheriff says he's probably out gambling. You met the sheriff,
Sheriff Allen. Yeah, I think she hates me.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
All right, Well, if you could just let us avery?
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Is that you? Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Mother? Where were you? I'm sorry?
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Yes, Just stay on Colton Run trail for about three
miles and it'll run you right into the town center.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Thanks so much. That's weird. Hello, my fellow lean da
Zelindos after a weird morning. More on that later. We've
(15:50):
come back to the old town center at let's say,
two forty three in the afternoon. After a brisk three
mile walk through the creeks and valleys of this one
turned the library town and it looks like most of
the stores have closed.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
For the day.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Let's see if this convenience store is nope, does anything.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Open, ma'am?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Can I see some?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I d oh, Gordon, You've got to stop sneaking up
on me like that. I'd laugh, but I think I
have a light cramp from speed walking.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Oh, I'm so sorry. Also, why are you speedwalking?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
The Breweders think I need to be back home by
four pm? Where the darkness is going to end me?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Classic Bruders, right, they should have chosen the Brightsiders as
a better last name.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Hey, that's not bad. This is what should I call you?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Are you recording?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, sorry, it's my audio journal thing?
Speaker 7 (16:46):
No no, no, no worries Gordon iss sign And it's almost three.
Don't you need to turn around and head back?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I was hoping to try the internet one more time.
Did it work at all last time?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Well? So you can see everything is literally.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Close and I get pretty much all my meals from
Shawls and they're going to close it four.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
So if you'll suffer through a local greasy spooon meal.
Can we try again right after?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That sounds lovely?
Speaker 6 (17:17):
That's four den Brahmins and three French toasts. Sorry, I
meant three and four coming right up?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So people think it's him.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Yeah, so he's the owner.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
But apparently, and this is the rumor, he really yelled
at Fonso the cook and basically that you and me.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Of the restaurant, overworked and barely paid exactly, So he's
not down at Foxwoods or Mohegan.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Fonso doesn't have a car. He has an electric scooter
that never left the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Who told you all this? Never mind it was Albert.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Dude is basically the town crier.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
It's so weird. Look at him.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
I'm sorry, let me get that. And yes, that's that's
coming right up. Oh, you said decaf.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
So he can't tie his shoes without help? How is
he going to kill the only person that keeps his
business running?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Sorry?
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Have you ever listened to a single true crime podcast?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I mean they're all the same, aren't they.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Oh, Miss Simmons, is this where.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You man's playing to me? The world of podcasts? Oh
would never yield keeper of the books with no Internet?
I think you'd never heard of one.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
The beauty about them is that when you drive to
Luomington or on good signal days, they all get downloaded
right to.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Your phone or a computer.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Right.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
So anyway, I'm just saying people can let their psychopathic
or sociopathic tendencies take.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Over just a snap.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Ah, Now a man's planning mental health.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Wow, I'm serious. Look at Sean. Okay, Duo looks like
the only person that ever said no to him was
his mom when he asked if he was ugly.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I think we're being a little superficial.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Oh, come on, tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm roon.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Okay, he's definitely not a looker.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Oh snip let's.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Chair and Albert, they got to be here for sew.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Gordon evening sureff twice in one day.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
What a pleasure, Miss Simmons, if you wouldn't mind coming
down to the station.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
What guys, I'm sorry, Why is his hand on his gun?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Why don't we all just relax a little bit and
take a protocol?
Speaker 9 (19:21):
Albert, will you escort to mister Morale's outside?
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Mister Morales, fine, fine, I'll.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Go fine, Okay, do I have to is that protocol?
Speaker 9 (19:30):

rom compick. I am the curator of the Anderson Oh.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I mean, doesn't you being the curator make it even
more rom coming.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
Only if you're here to buy the building and replace
it with an unaffordable high rise.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Will it have internet?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
We already have internet?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Is a dial up?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I mean?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
What's the hurry?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Smooth?
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Gordon Morales like you. I am not originally from.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Here, Sarah Simmons. We gave it away.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Oh we won't have that phone model for another ten years.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Oh so I'm from the future.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
Or Boston, same thing.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Oh, this is stunning. Was this originally the Knave?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Yes, I see, you've done your homework.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
Originally a Jesuit missionary camp and then a house of
warship built during the Second Great Awakening. This was the
home of the New Hampshire sect of Old School Puritans.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Ah, the ones that escape religious persecution but didn't tolerate
any other religions once they got here.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
Didn't she says, as if that's not still what makes
the world go round?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh my, is that what I heard?
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Unfortunately I hear it.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Let me help.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
In trying to organize the shelves.
Speaker 7 (04:35):
I managed to top a three hundred years of European
history with one loose bolt.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Impressive. So many have tried and all have failed.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
I'll organize these colonizers later.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Are you the only one here?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
You, my new city friend, are looking at not only
the curator of the Anderson Memorial Library.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
No, but also the chief technology officer, the.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Historian, leech helf soccer, and head CASTOLDI super intended.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
So it's just you in a few high school interns.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Head custodial, superintended, Chief tech.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
We have one computer and it's right over there. And yes,
it is a dial up.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Did I just hurt your resume, torpedo, just like I
did to that pile of European history books?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
All right, Casanova, I got to email some folks back home.
How does one dial up anymore?
Speaker 8 (05:26):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
It's really easy. You just load up your ice p.
In our case, it's America on user location and the.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Hush, what what's going on?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Whatever it is? That's our entire emergency force on the
way somewhere.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Question is will you take me there?
Speaker 8 (05:47):
Can?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
I say?
Speaker 5 (05:48):
No? Are you recording?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
No? And yes, Olbert, are you there?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (05:59):
I'm back easy out here?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Anyone else there everyone's.
Speaker 9 (06:03):
Here, practically the whole town.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
They're saying, there's a body in the woods.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
Okay, fine, just keep the crowd calm and steal.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Off the area.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Steal it off with what mac.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
Just keep the crowd away and we'll order some barcaide
tape that I will strangle you with.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Sound good, you got it?
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Boss, Here you.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Go, dear, we'll get you home soon enough. Albert, did
you call mister and missus Crawford.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yes, ma'am, they'll be here soon and this will all
be over with.
Speaker 9 (06:42):
We do need you to try to tell us what
you saw.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
So you know we have nationals coming up. Sure sure
for track, yes, cross country.
Speaker 9 (06:52):
Sure, track outside, got it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
They're very different.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (06:56):
So I was doing my sunrise durance training twelve miles round.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
You run twelve miles every day at sunrise.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
No, I'm not crazy.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
I take Sundays off. So I was nearing my firepoint
before circling back up the river. That's when I heard
it haired eight.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
Something in the woods was moving. First, I don't know.
I thought it was a squirrel or a chipmunk, but
the crunching of the ground was too much for something
that small.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
Could I have been a bulbcat, a fox?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
All I know is that when I saw something run off,
I thought I heard someone gasp.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
It's okay.
Speaker 9 (07:44):
Immediately I'm sure it was a critter scuddying off.
Speaker 8 (07:48):
But that's when I saw it.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
The caddyon whatever that is, I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
I saw human teeth, an entire side of a jawbone
sticking out of those slabs of hush.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Sure, sure, it's okay.
Speaker 8 (08:05):
So I ran to the station. An officer, Albert brought
me back here.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
And you didn't tell anyone else.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
I tried to post about it, since I didn't know
what to do, but it didn't even go through.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Lucky for you that it wasn't posted or else. See
those people.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
Yeah, there would be three times as many onlookers. And
how many onlookers is too many?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Many?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Lee, I don't know. One one is too many?
Speaker 8 (08:36):
As far as I'm.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
Sheriff, wait here with Albert for a second, love.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Jariff, what happened to Mary?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Can we go look?
Speaker 9 (08:47):
Sharon Fox Tanner, Greg Brendan, Michelle. If you'll bear with
us for a little bit longer, we'll have some answers.
Excuse me, I don't seem to recognize you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
That's because I'm not from here.
Speaker 9 (09:02):
That's interesting because this is a possible crime scene and
you're the only non local here. So unless you're friends
with that young woman over there, we need to have
a talk about where you're from and why you are here.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Hey. Sorry, I was chatting with Tanner. Yes, she's with me.
I'm what she's with you? Yes, sorry, Sheriff Max and Allen.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
This is Sarah Simmons from Boston's Institute for Wildlife Research
and Holistic Preservation.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Yeah, holistic? What is she? A reporter?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
She is right here and she can answer for herself. Thanks, Gordon. Hi,
I'm Sarah Simmons. I'm a creative journalist from Boston, and
while not technically unemployed reporter, I am a journalist and
I'm here because every siren in your village race passed
us while we were at the library. Care to say
anything on the record?
Speaker 9 (09:50):
There is no record and there's nothing to comment on.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (09:53):
That's so weird because Olbert was telling Tanner and Greg
before we all arrived that Alfonso over at.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
The diner was report missing around four this morning.
Speaker 9 (10:02):
All Right, put that device away, Sarah. I don't know
what that is down there, and I won't comment till
forensics from Bloomington arrive. But my money a moose got
into it with a gray Fox and one Alfonso has
been known to pop on down to Mohigan every now
and then, and his mom is special, so I wouldn't
(10:23):
hold my breath. Right, everyone, I'm going to need you
all to go home. Mary Lee's folks are here, and
you should all go comfort her and her family in
the privacy of their house.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
If anything comes.
Speaker 9 (10:35):
To light for us, you will all be the first
to know.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Albert all right, gang show's over? Pack it up? How's
the interneting going?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
This style up is so slow? I'm considering Pony Express.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Yes, well, at least we have fresh air.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
You're a glass half full kind of guy, aren't you.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I have no choice?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Bye?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Gordon Gordon?
Speaker 7 (11:02):
Ah, Yes, how did you get the name Gordon if
you don't look like a Gordon?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I mean maybe your folks were fans of Gordon Ramsey. Nope,
race car driver legend, Jeff Gordon.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Football Leae baseball only household flash.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You know I tried using that ones and what happened.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
I went home alone.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Okay, I give up. Tell me that's your name, Vicente?
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Yeah, Vincent in Espanol.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's a great name.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Oh, I know, but.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
My entire family and friends growing up didn't care because
since I was a full figured they called me Gordo.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Gordo.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
It's one of those reverse endeering Spanish nicknames that is
extremely painful, but hidden under the guy said.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh, it's a cute, adorable pet name.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
How cute.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I think I caught pretty in there.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
That's all you need.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
But wait, so you hated grdo but kept it and
made it.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Assimilation is a hell of a drug, Miss Simmons. Ooh,
the first hit is when people smile and laugh at it,
and then you try and make it to your own
because you're so hooked on your own supply that you
make the regretful decision when applying to.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
College to make Gordon your name.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Felve years later, here we are trying to help a
pretty city lady online in a two hundred year old
church turn library.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You mean, Linda, right.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Maybe maybe once we.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Where was that?
Speaker 5 (12:33):
No idea?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It's definitely not you fixing some shells.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Come with me, Sarah Jack so Bruner Gordon, he gave
it us quite a scare.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I'm sorry. The door was open, but the lights were
off and I damn near broke my neck tripping over
a huge pile of books on the floor.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's the fall of Europe. I'm sorry, never mind, I
suppose you're here to pick me up.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Was headed back to the house and figured you'd be
done by now.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, totally, Gordon VI Sente, Thank you so much, No.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Problem, Miss Simmons. So I'll keep trying to get this
up and running.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
You do that, and if you need anything, I'm also
the lead tenant though you live here.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Yeah, beat you to your high rise spot.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's the sequel. See you next.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Time, counting on it.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
You've got mail.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Hey, Reema. Jack told me to tell you he was
headed to check on the Crawfords. Sarah.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I wanted to apologize.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Oh it's okay, No, it wasn't. And truly, with everything happening,
the news from the diner, I shouldn't have been so cold. Really,
don't worry about it. Jack mentioned about your son, and
you know, raising teens. You couldn't pay me enough. Oh
he told you that.
Speaker 8 (14:02):
With Avery, he's been having a tough time making friends totally.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Hey, I wasn't able to get in touch with my sister.
Would it be cool if I for.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
Sure be my guest.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Just try the phone in the living room. Does that
one have buttons? Yes? It does.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Hi, you've reached.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
If I can't come the phone, what the.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You've read it?
Speaker 2 (14:37):
The fuck? Is everything? Okay? Sorry? Yes, it's my sister's phone.
Is It's fine? Hey, listen, I think I'm going to
walk back into town. I could really use a walk
an the internet at this hour. I mean it's not

Speaker 8 (14:59):
The sunset, it's early nowadays, and you know the diner
fellow news.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Sheriff says he's probably out gambling. You met the sheriff,
Sheriff Allen. Yeah, I think she hates me.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
All right, Well, if you could just let us avery?
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Is that you? Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Mother? Where were you? I'm sorry?
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Yes, Just stay on Colton Run trail for about three
miles and it'll run you right into the town center.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Thanks so much. That's weird. Hello, my fellow lean da
Zelindos after a weird morning. More on that later. We've
(15:50):
come back to the old town center at let's say,
two forty three in the afternoon. After a brisk three
mile walk through the creeks and valleys of this one
turned the library town and it looks like most of
the stores have closed.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
For the day.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Let's see if this convenience store is nope, does anything.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Open, ma'am?
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Can I see some?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I d oh, Gordon, You've got to stop sneaking up
on me like that. I'd laugh, but I think I
have a light cramp from speed walking.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Oh, I'm so sorry. Also, why are you speedwalking?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
The Breweders think I need to be back home by
four pm? Where the darkness is going to end me?
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Classic Bruders, right, they should have chosen the Brightsiders as
a better last name.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Hey, that's not bad. This is what should I call you?
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Are you recording?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, sorry, it's my audio journal thing?
Speaker 7 (16:46):
No no, no, no worries Gordon iss sign And it's almost three.
Don't you need to turn around and head back?
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I was hoping to try the internet one more time.
Did it work at all last time?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Well? So you can see everything is literally.
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Close and I get pretty much all my meals from
Shawls and they're going to close it four.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
So if you'll suffer through a local greasy spooon meal.
Can we try again right after?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That sounds lovely?
Speaker 6 (17:17):
That's four den Brahmins and three French toasts. Sorry, I
meant three and four coming right up?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So people think it's him.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Yeah, so he's the owner.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
But apparently, and this is the rumor, he really yelled
at Fonso the cook and basically that you and me.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Of the restaurant, overworked and barely paid exactly, So he's
not down at Foxwoods or Mohegan.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Fonso doesn't have a car. He has an electric scooter
that never left the restaurant.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Who told you all this? Never mind it was Albert.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Dude is basically the town crier.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
It's so weird. Look at him.
Speaker 6 (17:53):
I'm sorry, let me get that. And yes, that's that's
coming right up. Oh, you said decaf.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
So he can't tie his shoes without help? How is
he going to kill the only person that keeps his
business running?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Sorry?
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Have you ever listened to a single true crime podcast?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I mean they're all the same, aren't they.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Oh, Miss Simmons, is this where.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You man's playing to me? The world of podcasts? Oh
would never yield keeper of the books with no Internet?
I think you'd never heard of one.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
The beauty about them is that when you drive to
Luomington or on good signal days, they all get downloaded
right to.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Your phone or a computer.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Right.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
So anyway, I'm just saying people can let their psychopathic
or sociopathic tendencies take.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Over just a snap.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Ah, Now a man's planning mental health.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Wow, I'm serious. Look at Sean. Okay, Duo looks like
the only person that ever said no to him was
his mom when he asked if he was ugly.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I think we're being a little superficial.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Oh, come on, tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm roon.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Okay, he's definitely not a looker.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Oh snip let's.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Chair and Albert, they got to be here for sew.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Gordon evening sureff twice in one day.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
What a pleasure, Miss Simmons, if you wouldn't mind coming
down to the station.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
What guys, I'm sorry, Why is his hand on his gun?
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Hey?
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Why don't we all just relax a little bit and
take a protocol?
Speaker 9 (19:21):
Albert, will you escort to mister Morale's outside?
Speaker 5 (19:24):
Mister Morales, fine, fine, I'll.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Go fine, Okay, do I have to is that protocol?
Speaker 9 (19:30):
You don't have to while I'm still asking, but if
I arrest you, it means I've stopped asking.
