Speaker 1 (00:00):
Maxie Miles. It's the production of a typical artists and
I heart radio. It's just it's just a cabin, yeah,
complete with Mr Beatie's interior decorating skills. God forbid the
(00:23):
man learn about throw pillows. What did you expect? I
don't know. Riley worth a shot, I guess. Oh hey,
look creepy old lock trunk. I bet there's not a
body chopped up in there. Be serious? Look where do
(00:47):
those lead? Max? What? Just be careful? They're just doors, ross,
but you don't know what's behind them. Whatever it is,
(01:07):
I'll handle it. We'll handle it. Fine. You want to
get that door, then okay, on the count of three,
one two three, it's just a bathroom, would you get bedroom?
(01:31):
No Riley in here either? Did you really expect to
find him in here? I don't know. I just Beatty
looked like he was running away, like he had something
to hide. Well, maybe he does. Are you thinking what
I'm thinking? Are you thinking of looking through all his
(01:51):
drawers and closets? Then yes, we just have to make
sure to put everything back the way it was before
we leave, so that he doesn't suspect any thing is all,
and we need to be quick. I still have no
idea where he went right, and then we should see
if we can track him down. See what exactly? H Ross?
(02:16):
What what is it? WHOA, that's a lot of cash?
What on earth would Mr Beati be doing with? Is that? Quick?
What are we ross? What? Max? Be quiet? It's Mr
(02:46):
Beatie if we're lucky, because there's only one tiny window
in here, which means the only way out is through
that main womb. And if we get caught, there's no escape.
H from a typical artists and I heart radio. You're
(03:06):
listening to Maxie Miles. This is chapter six the cabin,
(03:43):
is it? Yeah? Yeah, it's Mr Beatie. M What is
he doing? M H? I don't know, but you need
(04:04):
to be quiet? H h Hello, No he's not I
(04:30):
told you I don't know where he is now. Yes, yes,
I understand. What do you really think? Yes? Yes, okay, No,
he left nothing behind. I know, but I I'll get
(04:50):
him back. I promise. No, that won't be necessary. No,
give me a chance to find him first. There's non
need to escalate this. Yes, I'll get it done by
Sunday night. You have my word. Jeez, your hand is freezing, well,
(05:16):
so are your lips. Uh. Seriously, though, are you like okay,
you're not going to go into a hypothermic shock or anything.
I'm fine. It's just nighttime in October and we're in
the middle of the freaking woods. At least I can
breathe now. Look, I'm sorry, it's just that I know.
It's fine, I get it. I didn't want him to
(05:38):
hear us. Right, what was that all about? I have
no idea. Is he making tea? It sure sounds like it.
Well guess we're stuck here? Then great? Yeah, I wish
(06:04):
there was room to sit. As long as you don't
try to shut me up again, we'll be fine. Well,
will you be quiet? Now? You're the one who's talking
up a storm. I'm just I'm freaking out a little bit. Max. Yeah,
this is not ideal. Oh shit, I don't think Mr
Beatty would ever heard us. I'm sorry, did you hear
(06:25):
that phone call? I'll get him back. No need to escalate.
I really don't want to find out what Mr Beatty
means by escalate. Well, then I guess it's good he
doesn't seem to see a need for it. Then, what,
You're right? That call was very odd. I'm surprised you're
not already in the other room in terrogating him about it.
I'm just as invested as you and not getting caught.
(06:47):
I thought you had a brilliant plan, or you would
have a perfectly reasonable explanation for why we came in here. Yeah,
that was before we went through his stuff and hid
in a closet. I don't know how we would explain this.
I mean, there's plenty of reasons why two teenagers might
sneak off to a cabin in the woods and then
not want to get caught. What what are you talking about?
(07:09):
Come on, Max, We're standing nose to nose in a closet.
I think it would be pretty easy for Mr Beany
to make a leap to Oh yeah, okay, I see
what you mean. I'm not saying that's what we're doing. No,
I get it. I mean that would that would be
a good excuse, right. It's not like it's true, right,
(07:33):
But if a person were to come across us in
this situation, they might think that. I mean, it looks
a certain way, right, and it's not our fault that
it looks that way right, right, But I still don't
think it's a good idea to go out there. Yeah no, no, no,
terrible idea. Better to just play. It's safe exactly, And
(07:57):
if he does come back in here, we can h
(08:25):
it looks like we're safer. However long it takes him
to drink his tea, I guess, uh so, how did
it go with THEO and Jenna? What the the love
note thing? What? Ross? Do you think now is the time?
(08:45):
I don't know. I don't know what to do. I've
never been in this situation before. I don't know what
the appropriate topic of conversation is. I'm freaking ow Max,
my scary neighbor who's wanted to murder me for years
over the time I ran over his rose bushes is
in the other room while we hide in his secret cabin,
and you're so I could barely breathe, and I just
need you to I don't know, I just get my
(09:05):
mind off this whole situation. Okay, Okay, I get it.
It's okay, I'm here. Who we're gonna be Okay, nothing
bad is going to happen, right, I promise. Okay, uh,
(09:27):
thank you give of course you don't have to keep
m hm oh right, sorry, I didn't mean to No, No,
it's it's totally fine. I just didn't know what else
to do. We're good. So, uh the love notes right right? Um?
(09:51):
It went fine. I guess all things considered. What do
you mean, Jenna, she never wanted to date whoever was
writing the notes in the first place, no matter who
it turned out to be. Why did she want you
to figure it out then to get them to stop?
And well I didn't figure it out in the end.
(10:15):
You told me you would have gotten there eventually. I
don't know. I mean, it never occurred to me that
it could be THEO. Really, the poetry didn't tip you off.
I guess I didn't want it to be him because
he and Jenna are such good friends, you know, and
(10:36):
it might make it weird, right, but it all turned
out okay anyway, I think it will. I guess THEO
wasn't really that invested. After all. Jenna seemed to think
he liked the idea of writing love poems more than
actually being in love. What come on, you clearly have
(10:57):
an opinion about it. I think Jenna is probably right.
How did you find out about it? Anyway? THEO told
me why. I didn't think you guys were that close
we're not. But he he wanted to know what it
feels like? What what feels like? THEO smart? You know,
(11:21):
yeah he sentimentals hell, but he's not dumb. He'd been
writing the poems for a while and realized that he
didn't really want to go any further than that. That
he wanted to have a crush and and Jenna was there. No, no, no,
that sounds bad. He cares about her, obviously, but I
think he'd hoped it would be more that writing her
(11:44):
notes would make him feel the way he wanted to feel,
you know, some grand romance or whatever. Such a sap. Wait,
so I still don't get it. Why was he talking
to you? I guess he wanted to talk to the
most much person he knows. Right, of course, because when
(12:04):
people think grand romance, Ross Teller is the first name
to come up. Maybe you don't know everyone as well
as you think you do, Max. I mean, look at Riley, right.
We all had this specific idea of him, the golden boy,
star student, apple of his parents eye. What's your point?
What was he into? Max? What have we gotten ourselves into?
I don't know. It sounds like like he's done with
(12:42):
his teeth or is he making more? M m? Do
(13:04):
you think he's settling in for the night. Well, he
always goes home, right whenever you've watched him. Yeah, yeah,
that's true, but it's sometimes in the morning. Right. How
pissed is Joe going to be? I have a feeling
I'll never be able to leave the house ever again. Hey,
(13:29):
remember when you got the chicken pox when we were seven,
and we rigged up that bucket so I could send
down comic books and I could send up candy. Yeah,
we can do that again. I could send up new
info about the case, and I could send down leads
for you to chase. It's a good system, it is.
We make a good team. Is that he's asleep? Should we?
(14:00):
It might be our only chance? Come on, ship? Is
that the Duffel bag? Oh? My god? Quick? Yeah? Anything? Nothing,
just Charleston choose? Oh my god? What what is it?
(14:24):
Those are Riley's favorite candy bars? What? Come on? We
have to get out of here. Wait what let me
go first? Ross White? Just okay, yeah, he's out, Let's
go come on. H Oh my god. I can't believe
(15:13):
we just did that. Are you happy now we've successfully
followed Mr Beatie I'm just happy we didn't get caught.
Miracle of miracles. Where are we? I think somewhere southwest
of the main mine entrance, which means the nearest road
(15:33):
should be about a mile that way. How in the
hell do you know that? I told you I studied
the maps for a day. I have a good memory.
You're amazing. All right, I guess we should start heading
to the road. Then, do you have a watch? Yeah,
(15:59):
it's a ship's dark out. It's almost nine o'clock. Crap,
Joe is going to kill me. At least it's not
three am. True. I don't understand why would Mr Beatty
want to kidnap rightly? Do you think he did it?
(16:20):
It's not looking good Ross, I know, I know, But
you thinking Mr Beati is creepy isn't actually a compelling
motive for a crime like this. Having a secret murder
cabin feels like a good start. Okay, let's go through
what we need. Mr Baty has left his own house
most nights for anywhere from an hour to half the night,
(16:42):
sometimes with stuff, but basically never returning with the same stuff.
And we don't know anything about him owning any other property.
But then again, we didn't know anything about him having
a family at one time, so yeah, any updates on that,
nothing new, just that we had a wife and son
and they're gone now. I don't know the specifics. But
(17:05):
that also tells us that Mr Beatie is really private.
So him owning a cabin in the woods that no
one knows about, not outside of the realm of possibility exactly.
Then there's the matter of that I would guess seven
dollars in cash in the nightstand and the candy bars
and the candy bars and that phone call. Someone knew
(17:26):
he was going to be there, or someone knew that
someone was going to be there. He sounded angry right
on the phone. Beaty always sounds angry. Yeah, but this
wasn't yelling at you for ruining his roses. This was
he sounded scared too, like desperate. Yeah, yeah, she's it's
(17:59):
cold here. Oh you don't need to you've lived here.
You're a whole life, Max. How are you not in
the habit of bundling up. I'm wearing my winter coat, yeah,
with no hat, no gloves. But now you're going to
be cold. It's just a scarf. Miles, Well, thank you,
(18:24):
You're welcome. Max, Yeah, I can you keep my little
freak out to yourself. You really don't want anyone hearing
about me having a panic attack in Mr Beaty's closet.
It wasn't exactly planning on telling anyone about the trespassing
(18:46):
we just did, of course. But also, there's nothing embarrassing
about that, Ross says you. I think it's normal to
get stressed out in a situation like that. You weren't, Yeah,
because I had you there. Uh, I don't know. Everything
always seems less scary when you're there. You always pulled
(19:11):
me back before I do something really stupid, do I
I feel like you've been doing plenty of stupid stuff lately. Thanks, well,
I'm glad my cowardest keeps you grounded. That's not what
I meant, then, what did you mean? Oh? Ye wait?
(19:33):
Is that what? Oh my god, Ross, this is I
can't believe it. It It that's Riley's backpack. Now. I'm not
(20:00):
gonna stand here and chew you out for joining the
search party without my knowledge. An extremely dangerous thing to do,
because I know your uncle was going to be plenty
mad for the both of us. I know, I know,
Mr Colmes. I'm really sorry. Okay, I should have told you,
but I knew you wouldn't have let me, right, I
wouldn't have, and you Ross, I thought you knew better.
(20:20):
What gave you that idea? You're supposed to be looking
out for maccine? Why does everyone insist on making Ross
my keeper? Because you need someone to look out for you, Max,
I do. I've got all of hastings, which is why
it's my job to look up for Hastings. In return,
you can do that by staying safe. I thought you
(20:40):
weren't going to chew us out. I'm not, but I
need you to understand just how serious that we do.
That's what we're trying to tell you. Look, we found
Ridley's backpack what in the woods about half a mile
east of Root three or two? Do you know the
mile marker? I don't know. It was dark, so we
(21:02):
didn't check. That's okay, No, it's not. I don't know
how I didn't think of that. It was near that
old covered bridge, the one that crosses Dry Creek River,
that's right. I don't know how we could have missed that.
We checked that area on our first search party. Maybe
maybe it wasn't there. My my quite a gathering for
(21:25):
near midnight on a week night. How I hope these
young people are an in trouble, Sheriff combs. You know,
parking isn't a crime, even if it is frowned upon.
Oh my god, God, we can't even drive. How I
didn't think you'd be in this late, which is why
(21:46):
I didn't look at this. Max and Ross found Riley
Stevens backpack. Really well, isn't that very interesting? It's a
good sign, right, I mean maybe it wasn't even there
when we did the first search party. Maybe Riley left it,
(22:07):
maybe he really is lost, or maybe saying it definitely
is progress. Well, what's in it? Nothing of note? Just
school books, pens, pencils. Is his camera in there? Riley
had a camera he liked to take photos for his articles. Wait,
you're right, where's his camera? Not here? Very strange indeed,
(22:31):
and YouTube just found these. Yeah, it was just sitting
on the forest floor and this was it, right, Nothing
else in the area around it? No, we checked. Did
you come across anything else in the woods? Anything odd? Nope? No,
nothing odd at all. Maxie Miles was created by Lauren

look creepy old lock trunk. I bet there's not a
body chopped up in there. Be serious? Look where do
(00:47):
those lead? Max? What? Just be careful? They're just doors, ross,
but you don't know what's behind them. Whatever it is,
(01:07):
I'll handle it. We'll handle it. Fine. You want to
get that door, then okay, on the count of three,
one two three, it's just a bathroom, would you get bedroom?
(01:31):
No Riley in here either? Did you really expect to
find him in here? I don't know. I just Beatty
looked like he was running away, like he had something
to hide. Well, maybe he does. Are you thinking what
I'm thinking? Are you thinking of looking through all his
(01:51):
drawers and closets? Then yes, we just have to make
sure to put everything back the way it was before
we leave, so that he doesn't suspect any thing is all,
and we need to be quick. I still have no
idea where he went right, and then we should see
if we can track him down. See what exactly? H Ross?
(02:16):
What what is it? WHOA, that's a lot of cash?
What on earth would Mr Beati be doing with? Is that? Quick?
What are we ross? What? Max? Be quiet? It's Mr
(02:46):
Beatie if we're lucky, because there's only one tiny window
in here, which means the only way out is through
that main womb. And if we get caught, there's no escape.
H from a typical artists and I heart radio. You're
(03:06):
listening to Maxie Miles. This is chapter six the cabin,
(03:43):
is it? Yeah? Yeah, it's Mr Beatie. M What is
he doing? M H? I don't know, but you need
(04:04):
to be quiet? H h Hello, No he's not I
(04:30):
told you I don't know where he is now. Yes, yes,
I understand. What do you really think? Yes? Yes, okay, No,
he left nothing behind. I know, but I I'll get
(04:50):
him back. I promise. No, that won't be necessary. No,
give me a chance to find him first. There's non
need to escalate this. Yes, I'll get it done by
Sunday night. You have my word. Jeez, your hand is freezing, well,
(05:16):
so are your lips. Uh. Seriously, though, are you like okay,
you're not going to go into a hypothermic shock or anything.
I'm fine. It's just nighttime in October and we're in
the middle of the freaking woods. At least I can
breathe now. Look, I'm sorry, it's just that I know.
It's fine, I get it. I didn't want him to
(05:38):
hear us. Right, what was that all about? I have
no idea. Is he making tea? It sure sounds like it.
Well guess we're stuck here? Then great? Yeah, I wish
(06:04):
there was room to sit. As long as you don't
try to shut me up again, we'll be fine. Well,
will you be quiet? Now? You're the one who's talking
up a storm. I'm just I'm freaking out a little bit. Max. Yeah,
this is not ideal. Oh shit, I don't think Mr
Beatty would ever heard us. I'm sorry, did you hear
(06:25):
that phone call? I'll get him back. No need to escalate.
I really don't want to find out what Mr Beatty
means by escalate. Well, then I guess it's good he
doesn't seem to see a need for it. Then, what,
You're right? That call was very odd. I'm surprised you're

I mean, there's plenty of reasons why two teenagers might

(07:09):
Come on, Max, We're standing nose to nose in a closet.
I think it would be pretty easy for Mr Beany
to make a leap to Oh yeah, okay, I see

it looks that way right, right, But I still don't
think it's a good idea to go out there. Yeah no, no, no,
terrible idea. Better to just play. It's safe exactly, And
(07:57):
if he does come back in here, we can h
(08:25):
it looks like we're safer. However long it takes him
to drink his tea, I guess, uh so, how did
it go with THEO and Jenna? What the the love
note thing? What? Ross? Do you think now is the time?
(08:45):
I don't know. I don't know what to do. I've
never been in this situation before. I don't know what
the appropriate topic of conversation is. I'm freaking ow Max,
my scary neighbor who's wanted to murder me for years
over the time I ran over his rose bushes is
in the other room while we hide in his secret cabin,
and you're so I could barely breathe, and I just
need you to I don't know, I just get my
(09:05):
mind off this whole situation. Okay, Okay, I get it.
It's okay, I'm here. Who we're gonna be Okay, nothing
bad is going to happen, right, I promise. Okay, uh,
(09:27):
thank you give of course you don't have to keep
m hm oh right, sorry, I didn't mean to No, No,
it's it's totally fine. I just didn't know what else
to do. We're good. So, uh the love notes right right? Um?
(09:51):
It went fine. I guess all things considered. What do
you mean, Jenna, she never wanted to date whoever was
writing the notes in the first place, no matter who
it turned out to be. Why did she want you
to figure it out then to get them to stop?
And well I didn't figure it out in the end.
(10:15):
You told me you would have gotten there eventually. I
don't know. I mean, it never occurred to me that
it could be THEO. Really, the poetry didn't tip you off.
I guess I didn't want it to be him because
he and Jenna are such good friends, you know, and
(10:36):
it might make it weird, right, but it all turned
out okay anyway, I think it will. I guess THEO
wasn't really that invested. After all. Jenna seemed to think
he liked the idea of writing love poems more than
actually being in love. What come on, you clearly have
(10:57):
an opinion about it. I think Jenna is probably right.
How did you find out about it? Anyway? THEO told
me why. I didn't think you guys were that close
we're not. But he he wanted to know what it
feels like? What what feels like? THEO smart? You know,
(11:21):
yeah he sentimentals hell, but he's not dumb. He'd been
writing the poems for a while and realized that he
didn't really want to go any further than that. That
he wanted to have a crush and and Jenna was there. No, no, no,
that sounds bad. He cares about her, obviously, but I
think he'd hoped it would be more that writing her
(11:44):
notes would make him feel the way he wanted to feel,
you know, some grand romance or whatever. Such a sap. Wait,
so I still don't get it. Why was he talking
to you? I guess he wanted to talk to the
most much person he knows. Right, of course, because when
(12:04):
people think grand romance, Ross Teller is the first name
to come up. Maybe you don't know everyone as well
as you think you do, Max. I mean, look at Riley, right.
We all had this specific idea of him, the golden boy,
star student, apple of his parents eye. What's your point?
What was he into? Max? What have we gotten ourselves into?
I don't know. It sounds like like he's done with

(13:04):
you think he's settling in for the night. Well, he
always goes home, right whenever you've watched him. Yeah, yeah,
that's true, but it's sometimes in the morning. Right. How
pissed is Joe going to be? I have a feeling
I'll never be able to leave the house ever again. Hey,
(13:29):
remember when you got the chicken pox when we were seven,
and we rigged up that bucket so I could send

we can do that again. I could send up new

We make a good team. Is that he's asleep? Should we?
(14:00):
It might be our only chance? Come on, ship? Is
that the Duffel bag? Oh? My god? Quick? Yeah? Anything? Nothing,
just Charleston choose? Oh my god? What what is it?
(14:24):
Those are Riley's favorite candy bars? What? Come on? We
have to get out of here. Wait what let me
go first? Ross White? Just okay, yeah, he's out, Let's
go come on. H Oh my god. I can't believe
(15:13):
we just did that. Are you happy now we've successfully
followed Mr Beatie I'm just happy we didn't get caught.
Miracle of miracles. Where are we? I think somewhere southwest
of the main mine entrance, which means the nearest road
(15:33):
should be about a mile that way. How in the
hell do you know that? I told you I studied
the maps for a day. I have a good memory.
You're amazing. All right, I guess we should start heading
to the road. Then, do you have a watch? Yeah,
(15:59):
it's a ship's dark out. It's almost nine o'clock. Crap,
Joe is going to kill me. At least it's not
three am. True. I don't understand why would Mr Beatty
want to kidnap rightly? Do you think he did it?
(16:20):
It's not looking good Ross, I know, I know, But
you thinking Mr Beati is creepy isn't actually a compelling
motive for a crime like this. Having a secret murder
cabin feels like a good start. Okay, let's go through
what we need. Mr Baty has left his own house
most nights for anywhere from an hour to half the night,
(16:42):
sometimes with stuff, but basically never returning with the same stuff.
And we don't know anything about him owning any other property.
But then again, we didn't know anything about him having
a family at one time, so yeah, any updates on that,
nothing new, just that we had a wife and son
and they're gone now. I don't know the specifics. But
(17:05):
that also tells us that Mr Beatie is really private.
So him owning a cabin in the woods that no
one knows about, not outside of the realm of possibility exactly.
Then there's the matter of that I would guess seven
dollars in cash in the nightstand and the candy bars
and the candy bars and that phone call. Someone knew
(17:26):
he was going to be there, or someone knew that
someone was going to be there. He sounded angry right
on the phone. Beaty always sounds angry. Yeah, but this
wasn't yelling at you for ruining his roses. This was
he sounded scared too, like desperate. Yeah, yeah, she's it's
(17:59):
cold here. Oh you don't need to you've lived here.
You're a whole life, Max. How are you not in
the habit of bundling up. I'm wearing my winter coat, yeah,
with no hat, no gloves. But now you're going to
be cold. It's just a scarf. Miles, Well, thank you,
(18:24):
You're welcome. Max, Yeah, I can you keep my little
freak out to yourself. You really don't want anyone hearing
about me having a panic attack in Mr Beaty's closet.
It wasn't exactly planning on telling anyone about the trespassing
(18:46):
we just did, of course. But also, there's nothing embarrassing
about that, Ross says you. I think it's normal to
get stressed out in a situation like that. You weren't, Yeah,
because I had you there. Uh, I don't know. Everything
always seems less scary when you're there. You always pulled
(19:11):
me back before I do something really stupid, do I
I feel like you've been doing plenty of stupid stuff lately. Thanks, well,
I'm glad my cowardest keeps you grounded. That's not what
I meant, then, what did you mean? Oh? Ye wait?
(19:33):
Is that what? Oh my god, Ross, this is I
can't believe it. It It that's Riley's backpack. Now. I'm not
(20:00):
gonna stand here and chew you out for joining the
search party without my knowledge. An extremely dangerous thing to do,
because I know your uncle was going to be plenty
mad for the both of us. I know, I know,
Mr Colmes. I'm really sorry. Okay, I should have told you,
but I knew you wouldn't have let me, right, I
wouldn't have, and you Ross, I thought you knew better.
(20:20):
What gave you that idea? You're supposed to be looking
out for maccine? Why does everyone insist on making Ross
my keeper? Because you need someone to look out for you, Max,
I do. I've got all of hastings, which is why
it's my job to look up for Hastings. In return,
you can do that by staying safe. I thought you
(20:40):
weren't going to chew us out. I'm not, but I
need you to understand just how serious that we do.
That's what we're trying to tell you. Look, we found
Ridley's backpack what in the woods about half a mile
east of Root three or two? Do you know the
mile marker? I don't know. It was dark, so we
(21:02):
didn't check. That's okay, No, it's not. I don't know
how I didn't think of that. It was near that
old covered bridge, the one that crosses Dry Creek River,
that's right. I don't know how we could have missed that.
We checked that area on our first search party. Maybe
maybe it wasn't there. My my quite a gathering for
(21:25):
near midnight on a week night. How I hope these
young people are an in trouble, Sheriff combs. You know,
parking isn't a crime, even if it is frowned upon.
Oh my god, God, we can't even drive. How I
didn't think you'd be in this late, which is why
(21:46):
I didn't look at this. Max and Ross found Riley
Stevens backpack. Really well, isn't that very interesting? It's a
good sign, right, I mean maybe it wasn't even there
when we did the first search party. Maybe Riley left it,
(22:07):
maybe he really is lost, or maybe saying it definitely
is progress. Well, what's in it? Nothing of note? Just
school books, pens, pencils. Is his camera in there? Riley
had a camera he liked to take photos for his articles. Wait,
you're right, where's his camera? Not here? Very strange indeed,
(22:31):
and YouTube just found these. Yeah, it was just sitting
on the forest floor and this was it, right, Nothing
else in the area around it? No, we checked. Did
you come across anything else in the woods? Anything odd? Nope? No,
nothing odd at all. Maxie Miles was created by Lauren
