Listener discretion advised. Dad

at why

1:05

ya

1:22

h oh

1:24

m hmm yeah,

1:30

good morning, Professor, morning

1:35

um, Professor Bradshaw. Did

1:37

you sleep here? M hm no,

1:40

uh no, No. I got

1:43

here a few hours ago and I couldn't sleep, and

1:45

I was just I

1:47

was just trying to get some work done. And I guess my

1:49

own writing was that thing that finally put

1:52

me to sleep. Okay, I have

1:54

to ask, are you okay? Yeah,

1:56

I'm fine. It's just um

2:00

having a dream I got. I got lost in Freetown

2:02

forest once. Am I supposed to

2:04

know what that means? No, I just

2:07

I forgot. But when I was a little boy,

2:09

my dad and I went hiking in the woods, and I

2:11

guess hiking is probably a strong word. We went,

2:14

We went for walks, We

2:16

went for walks all the time. He just loved that forest.

2:19

And there was this one time when

2:21

I guess I saw something and wandered

2:23

off, and then when I turned around, I had lost him.

2:26

Except that was broad daylight. It

2:28

wasn't night. Right,

2:33

Well, that's good. Right, I'm

2:35

sure it was easier to find you. No,

2:38

no, no, no, that's not that's not what I'm talking about. It just I'm

2:41

sorry. I just woke up from a dream

2:43

just now about that day,

2:45

except it was pitch black and there was something,

2:48

there was something behind me. Just

2:52

feeling a little um, feeling

2:54

unsettled. I guess it's all of the

2:56

old memories being dredged up. Well,

2:59

I can say this from personal experience that

3:01

I doubt falling asleep on your desk helps

3:04

much with feeling settled. Yeah,

3:06

you are probably right. What are you? What are you doing here

3:08

so early? Well? I am glad

3:11

you asked, because I went

3:13

down a bit of a rabbit hole last night.

3:15

But it was so fun I can see

3:17

that. Wow.

3:19

Is this all about Anne Becker? Yep,

3:22

the one and only Anne Becker. Oh

3:24

hipp And why because I

3:26

don't think she's crazy? Okay,

3:29

okay, just hear me out. She has closed

3:31

more disappearance cases, hikers,

3:33

kids, even a missing dog once

3:36

than anyone else in this entire county.

3:39

I found local news clippings, public records,

3:41

some news segments from the early nineties. I

3:43

mean, this lady, she is a hero

3:46

to a lot of people, and

3:48

then the freaking force they

3:50

just edged her out. I

3:52

just think when you meet her, you should

3:54

go in with an open mind. Oh,

3:56

vipp and I already met her. What Yeah,

3:59

I want to see her us night. I

4:01

don't I don't know what to tell you. She thinks my dad encountered

4:03

some kind of a monster wormhole or

4:06

something. I mean, it's nuts, it's something of something

4:08

down by the lake, that's what she says, right,

4:11

Okay, yeah, But in her defense, water

4:14

has been known to be a conduit for also,

4:16

Oh my god, Fippen, it is not real.

4:19

None of it is real. And you know

4:21

that. No, I don't know that. I just

4:23

I know that. You know, we should just have a

4:25

healthy sense of skepticism, but that

4:28

is what I have. You cannot be skeptical about

4:30

skepticism. No, I know that. I just I

4:32

just I know that we don't know everything,

4:34

Professor. I am skeptical, skeptical

4:37

of anyone who claims to understand everything about

4:39

our world. But there is so

4:41

much that's unexplainable. But it's

4:43

not unexplainable. There is

4:46

a rational explanation for everything.

4:48

We just have to find it. Is there

4:50

because look right here, in a

4:53

year after your father went missing. There, thank you.

4:55

I can do the math. A motorist ran

4:57

over an eighteen foot Boa constrictor.

5:00

Becker herself is quoted in this article

5:02

saying nothing surprises them

5:04

anymore. It wasn't the first

5:06

or the last time that they found an

5:09

enormous snake in this area with no

5:11

explanation of its origins. I

5:13

mean, come on, people have weird

5:15

hobbies. Maybe someone was breeding

5:17

them and setting them free. Maybe maybe an escape from

5:20

a kid's terrarium. Okay, okay,

5:22

maybe, but I kept digging, and sightings

5:24

of giant sneakes go back all the way

5:26

to the twenties. There

5:28

are some things that you can't explain,

5:31

professor, No, there are things that I can't

5:33

explain. Yet. That doesn't mean

5:35

that my dad encountered something supernatural.

5:38

Okay, he was investigating

5:40

a cult. End of story with Ann

5:42

Becker. She was the other

5:44

police officer on the case, and she doesn't

5:47

believe the cult theories. I

5:49

know. Okay,

5:52

Why why are you bothering with all this? Because

5:56

I knew you

5:58

wouldn't. In my four

6:00

years of knowing you, I've heard you talk about

6:02

your dad half a dozen times. Maybe

6:06

you've buried what happened. But at the same time,

6:08

you decided to dedicate your life to studying

6:10

the supernatural. I don't study

6:13

the supernatural, tip and I study reports

6:15

of the supernatural. I study stories about

6:18

the supernatural. It's a very different thing.

6:21

And then you decided to spend the next few

6:23

years writing a book on the area that took your

6:25

dad away from you. Oh my god, right

6:27

now, I am so regretting recommending that graduate

6:30

psychology class to you, professor,

6:32

I'm serious, serious

6:34

about what. So There've been a

6:36

couple of giant snakes, and Becker has found a

6:38

lot of missing people. So what what does that mean?

6:41

Do you think it's weird that your

6:43

dad's badge was found in Freetown Forest

6:45

when he went missing in Hackamox Swamp.

6:48

What this article right

6:51

here? Uh? December twelve

6:54

police officer Thomas Bradshaw was last

6:57

seen in Hawka Mock Swamp. Wait

6:59

did you not know that? Ah?

7:03

No, oh no, my mom always told me that he went

7:05

missing in Freetown Forest. You

7:07

know it's um, it's possible the

7:10

paper got it wrong. It's only one article

7:12

and fake news and all, Oh

7:16

god, damn it. What I

7:19

think I need to go back and talk to Anne Becker m

7:32

Bradshaw, and

7:36

he came back. Can I come in? Where

7:41

did my dad go missing? November?

7:44

Possibly late on the sixteenth. That's impossible

7:46

to know for certain. No, not when? Where?

7:49

Oh that's one of the many things we don't

7:51

know. What the hell are you talking about? How can

7:53

you not know where he went missing?

7:56

Isn't that sort of the whole point of missing?

7:58

You don't know where a pison is? Please

8:01

don't be clever with me. You know what I mean? The two of you were

8:03

investigating some cult, the

8:06

children of Yes, the children

8:08

of what, like the Salem witch trials?

8:10

Like like that tchaba, a

8:14

bunch of white hippies, misinterpreting history

8:16

and playing with things they couldn't possibly

8:18

understand. What do you mean by that?

8:23

Do you want some coffee? Uh?

8:26

Sure? And

8:31

are you supposed to have these what's

8:33

that? These old

8:35

files? Is all police property, isn't it?

8:38

M hmm? It's my property. The

8:40

police closed the case and Thomas and I were the

8:42

only ones working on it. I wrote

8:44

all these files myself. I'm

8:47

not sure that's how it works.

8:49

Oh so you're an expert on police protocol, Now,

8:52

how can you not know where my dad went missing? Sit

8:55

down? What

8:58

do you know about your dad's case? I

9:00

know that he was investigating a satanic cult,

9:03

the children of Tituba, I

9:06

guess, and he

9:08

went into Freetown Forest to catch them red

9:10

handed in a ritualal and has never heard from again.

9:13

Well that's one theory. That's the

9:16

theory. We were investigating

9:18

a cult. There have been reports

9:20

of animal sacrifice and strange symbols

9:22

and the woods pretty standard stuff for this part of

9:24

the country. But then

9:27

a kid went missing. A

9:29

twelve year old was camping with her girl Scout

9:31

troop in the forest and when they woke up, she was gone.

9:34

We searched the woods for hours and hours

9:37

deep into the night. I mean, have

9:40

you ever been in Freetown Forest at night? No?

9:44

No, I haven't. I wouldn't recommend

9:47

it. People don't think of it as wilderness,

9:49

but it is. It doesn't matter how

9:51

many towns surround it, how much civilization

9:54

has started to encroach on the forest. It's

9:56

still untamed. There

9:59

are some sections where the growth is so

10:01

thick that you need a machete to cut through it,

10:04

and that is what we did that

10:06

day and night. We were searching

10:08

for the little girl. We tore the forest

10:11

apart, and nothing, not so

10:13

much as a child's footprint. Did

10:16

you ever find her body? She

10:18

found us. She walked

10:22

out of the forest the next morning like nothing

10:24

had happened. I didn't remember a damn

10:26

thing. Her family

10:28

moved away a little while after that. I guess

10:30

the girl had nightmares of the forest.

10:34

I thought some distance might help, did

10:36

it? No idea moving

10:39

someone from missing the found is usually the extent

10:41

of my relationship with them.

10:44

So you thought that

10:47

the children took

10:49

the girl. We did something to

10:52

her. That's what the masses wanted

10:54

to believe. Yeah, children

10:56

of Chichibo weren't known to most people. Your

10:58

father and I discovered them just

11:00

before he went missing. But there

11:03

was a religious group the gathering, still a bunch

11:05

of white hippies, but less severe, mostly robes

11:08

and chance circles and since crystals,

11:10

that sort of thing seem harmless.

11:12

But they weren't good Christians, so not

11:15

beloved in the community. That

11:17

is putting it mildly. For

11:20

two or three years they were active in this area.

11:22

Everything got blamed on them, disappearances,

11:24

theft, even a murderer. Two

11:27

giant snakes, mhm, my

11:30

t A dug up some old articles. Yeah,

11:35

the papers love those, even if basilisks

11:37

weren't the weirdest thing spotted in those years. Boa

11:41

constrictors, excuse me,

11:44

not basilisks, boa constrictors,

11:46

basilisks of beasts of myth that

11:48

these were so you think they're

11:50

not even snakes, They're they're a

11:52

lizard rooster hybrid. And so

11:57

what happened with the gathering? Nothing?

11:59

They eventually packed up and left, and

12:01

you never charged them with anything, mom.

12:04

They never committed any crimes as far as we could

12:06

tell you. Open flames in the woods,

12:08

maybe some littering, but nothing worse than that. This

12:11

doesn't look like nothing. This is

12:13

all the information Thomas and I collected about

12:15

the area after you came by last night. I pulled

12:17

it all out, and it's

12:20

all the strange sightings, missing persons,

12:22

unexplained phenomenon. The

12:24

gathering knew more about this stuff than

12:26

most, and they led us to the children of

12:28

Tichibo, who, to the mob's credit,

12:31

more Satanists, though not very

12:33

effective ones. What is an effective

12:36

Satanist? Well, one who

12:38

fails to summon a demon and opens the gates to the underworld.

12:41

Right, look do you mind

12:44

if I take some of these homes I've never actually

12:46

i'd like to look them over. Oh

12:49

yeah, be my guest. I have copies plus all

12:51

the tapes. Tapes. Yeah,

12:54

Thomas took notes that way sometimes.

12:57

Huh. I think I

13:00

think I remember that him

13:02

sitting at that kitchen

13:05

table at night speaking

13:07

into a tape. Require huh

13:10

do you can? I

13:13

can I take those two I

13:16

need I kind of need them. But I can

13:18

make you copies. Thank

13:20

you. M hm. But you

13:22

know that stack of philes there, those

13:24

those were all written by Thomas. He would

13:27

copy over all of his audio onto the official

13:29

reports. We still handwrote

13:31

most things back then. You know, you're welcome to him.

13:33

I got plenty of photocopies. Yeah,

13:36

I see that. I

13:39

write my capital bees in

13:42

the same way. I

13:44

didn't even realize I was copying him.

13:46

Well, you know what that is a plenty

13:48

of sitting around for one morning. Come on, what

13:52

what what? We're going into the forest. We're

13:55

going to find out who are what? Dug up Thomas's

13:57

batch? Have

14:23

you spent much time in these woods? Some?

14:26

Yeah? Actually a fair deal. My dad, My

14:29

dad and I would take hikes every

14:31

Saturday. A man as an

14:33

adult. I remember the hikes you and your dad took.

14:37

You guys were close. Huh, we

14:39

got along, you know. We both

14:42

thought that there was more to this forest, more

14:44

to this whole area than most people wanted to believe.

14:47

No, my dad didn't believe in all that nonsense.

14:50

Trust me, you were a child.

14:52

You think he was going to tell you about the monsters in

14:54

the woods. Why are

14:56

you doing this, Jeremy, Why why did you come back to see me?

15:01

My t a um

15:03

his name is Vipen. Those

15:06

articles he dug up. One mentioned that my dad went

15:08

missing in Hackamuck Swamp, and I had always

15:10

been told the Freetown forest was the last place

15:12

that he'd been seeing, And I,

15:14

I guess I just want to know the truth. The

15:17

truth is, we

15:19

don't know. Hawkamock

15:21

and Freetown were the two hotspots at the time,

15:24

and they still are. But you know, we didn't

15:26

have jurisdiction in Hackamon didn't

15:28

stop us from looking, though, and

15:30

we scoured both areas and found nothing without

15:33

concrete evidence. The room of mill spun whatever

15:35

was most interesting at the moment. I

15:38

just I wouldn't believe a

15:40

thing that you read in those old papers. I

15:43

see Why didn't

15:45

you wonder about all of this until now? What's

15:48

the use of wondering. My dad's gone and he's never coming

15:50

back. Nothing's going to change that, Especially

15:55

crazy theories about monsters and hotter woods.

15:58

Such a strange first spective for a folklore

16:01

professor. No, on the contrary, I

16:03

think it's the only perspective for someone like me. If

16:05

I actually believed in this stuff, I

16:07

would not be able to look at it academically.

16:10

Academics, Yeah, because

16:13

I'd save so many lives. All

16:16

right, look at that academically. Okay,

16:19

Um, well they

16:22

were carved recently. They look fresh.

16:26

Um, do you recognize them?

16:29

I have to say stone carvings are pretty standard

16:32

in my line of work and in

16:34

this area in particular. But no,

16:37

not immediately. I'll

16:39

have hip and start to look them up. Man,

16:42

would've been really nice to have that in my day.

16:45

I'm pretty sure they had cameras in the nineteen seventies.

16:48

Al Right, smartass we did, but

16:50

we couldn't instantly send them to an

16:52

assistant, you know, had to print

16:54

them, do our own research. I

16:57

do my own research. If

17:00

my book it has a whole chapter

17:02

on rock carvings, Dighton Rock being

17:04

a feature, of course, But these are quite

17:06

distinct from the usual North American petroglyphs.

17:08

I can tell you that much. Yeah,

17:11

they look brand new. I think

17:13

they must be. I would guess

17:15

that it's just teams having a

17:17

laugh. But there is a pattern here, and this

17:19

looks similar to the Wapaog

17:21

symbol for water. But what do

17:24

you think about twenty ft from where that badge was

17:27

found? How would you know exactly

17:29

where it was found. The way

17:31

that that rock is pointed, You know, it might act

17:33

like is kind of a sundial. I

17:36

bet you that it cast a shadow right here

17:38

at a certain hour. Okay,

17:40

that seems like unnecessary speculation.

17:43

Okay, well you'll learn nothing

17:45

counts of speculating out here. I

17:49

doubt the carvings have anything

17:51

to do with the badge. There's petroglyphs

17:53

all over this forest and there's

17:55

nothing else here. Look, I mean, if

17:57

this were really where the badge was found, it could have

18:00

easily washed up. It's actually much closer

18:02

to the shore than I expected, right, because

18:04

lake water really polishes metal

18:06

and leather over forty years. Okay,

18:10

do you see anything that suggests

18:13

foul play? Not yet,

18:15

But that doesn't mean there isn't we

18:17

need to talk to those hikers. Hey,

18:25

look, I know you know all these folks,

18:27

but just let me do the

18:29

talking. Mm hmm. You're

18:31

worried they won't believe the crazy lady. We

18:34

actually don't need them to believe anything. We just we

18:37

just need some names. When

18:39

we brought in that badge the other day, you spent

18:41

two hours questioning us, and now

18:44

you can't even listen to me. Well, it isn't down, lucky.

18:46

It hasn't been twenty four hours. I

18:49

know, but I'm worried about him. You

18:51

said he just moved here, right, He's

18:53

probably just out exploring the area and

18:56

what he left his phone behind. He

18:58

hasn't responded to a single text or call

19:00

in fourteen hours. I'm his only friend in

19:02

this entire state, and I know I'm sorry. Miss.

19:05

There's nothing we can do until twenty four

19:07

hours have passed. He's an

19:09

adult. It isn't a crime for

19:11

him to go off the grid for half a day.

19:14

He's been having nightmares since

19:16

the other day when we found that bad What kind

19:18

of nightmares? Ms? Becca?

19:22

This is a police matter, honey. I was a

19:24

police officer so longer than you've been alive. My

19:26

friend is missing. He's not missing.

19:29

He's been gone for a few hours. Look,

19:32

I know that there's a window. I know there's

19:34

no window. What he's

19:37

telling you have to wait twenty four hours? Yes,

19:41

Officer McDermott, correct me if I'm

19:43

wrong. But Section one, Chapter thirty eight A

19:45

of Massachusetts law states that acceptance

19:47

of a missing person's report cannot be refused

19:49

on any grounds, including the length of time an individual

19:52

has been missing. Isn't that right? Yes,

19:55

ma'am. So why

19:57

don't you go back to your desk and

20:00

get a report started while I talked to this young

20:02

woman. I'll send her right over

20:04

once I'm done, Miss Becca, I really can't

20:06

let you interview with police business. Well,

20:08

she's not a suspect, is she were just two

20:11

civilians having a chat. Or

20:13

I could go tell Captain Haddock that you were

20:16

trying to get out of doing a little bit of paperwork.

20:19

I'll need your friends information to file a report,

20:22

and I'll only keep her for a second. Sure,

20:27

Wow, thank you?

20:29

That was Yeah, that

20:31

was impressive. Although so

20:34

much for letting me do all the talking. And

20:37

how's your state law knowledge? Okay?

20:40

Fair enough? Um,

20:42

if you don't need to talk to me. I should probably.

20:44

Oh, actually, we we did come here

20:47

looking for you, you and your friend Daniel,

20:51

Right, Daniel. What's your name, Katie?

20:55

I'm Jeremy. You found the police

20:58

badge? Yeah, he

21:00

was my father's. Oh,

21:03

oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, he's

21:06

he's been gone a long time. What's

21:08

happened with your friend? I don't know. I've

21:11

hiked in Freetown Forest hundreds

21:13

of times and everything seemed to fine. Yeah,

21:16

it was a bit weird to find an old police badge, but it's

21:18

not like they ever cleaned up the place, so he didn't

21:20

go missing when you were hiking. No, he

21:23

seemed totally fine. But then he

21:26

calls me late last

21:28

night, at at like two am, and he's either drunk

21:30

or sleep crazy or I don't know what, because

21:33

he was ranting about how something followed

21:35

him back from the woods. But I mean

21:37

something followed him. Yeah,

21:40

he's been having nightmares all night,

21:43

every night since the hike, and then last

21:45

night he said he was dreaming about something following

21:48

him, behind him, following in his footsteps.

21:51

He said something about lights and quills.

21:54

I don't know, it doesn't make sense. When

21:57

he woke up, he was convinced

22:00

that something was outside his window, something

22:02

with quills. That's what he said. He

22:04

just moved here from New York, and I know

22:06

that things are a big quieter than

22:09

he's used to. But I

22:12

was telling him about ghosts

22:15

in the forest. I know I shouldn't have been.

22:18

He's not like me. He doesn't believe in

22:20

all this stuff, so I thought it would be fine. It's

22:22

not your fault if a creature followed him out of the

22:24

forest. There is no such thing as monsters.

22:27

No, I know that I do. But there

22:30

are spirits in

22:32

that forest. I know there are,

22:34

and I think I think maybe

22:36

I made them angry. I

22:39

really didn't mean to. Daniel

22:41

doesn't believe, so there must have been something.

22:44

Does Daniel have any history of mental illness?

22:47

Um? No, no,

22:50

not that I know of. Listen,

22:52

I'm I'm really freaked

22:55

out. So no offense. But I think I'm going

22:57

to go talk to the actual cops about this. Of

22:59

course, I hope you find your friend.

23:02

Thanks Katie. Just one

23:04

more thing. There was a rock near

23:07

the lake. It had a bunch of simples carved into it.

23:09

Jeremy, here,

23:14

did you happen to notice these? I?

23:17

No, I don't think so. There's

23:21

lots of carvings in that part of the forest, the ledges

23:24

covered in them. Right here.

23:27

This is my number. If you think of anything, anything

23:30

at all, you give me a call. I have a lot of

23:32

experience with what can happen in the forest. You

23:35

mean the spirits? Yeah,

23:38

the police, they might not be able

23:40

to help with whatever happened to your friend. Yeah.

23:44

If it really is spirits, and I have someone who thank

23:47

you.

23:51

You should not have done that. What

23:54

encouraging that girl's belief in ghosts

23:57

in the woods, making her believe that her friend might be in danger?

24:00

Friend might be in danger. He is a young man

24:02

who just moved to a new place and got spooked by some wilderness,

24:04

and police questioning the children of titch

24:06

About didn't take him.

24:08

Okay, okay, all right, it's not

24:10

the Satanist that I'm worried about. Okay,

24:14

it looks like I got to get back to my office.

24:16

Fiffin was able to identify a couple of the symbols

24:18

carved into the rock. Good

24:20

good, that's good, and I'll come with you.

24:23

Compared to our old notes. See if there's an overlap. I

24:26

think it's happening again. Bradshaw, and

24:29

it's not going to take more people this time. I won't let

24:31

it. I don't mean to be rude,

24:33

miss Becker, but I really don't think

24:35

that we're on the same page here. It is clear that neither of those

24:37

hikers know anything about how the badge

24:39

got there. It really was just random

24:42

coincidence, just like one of them being missing

24:44

now is a coincidence. There's not some big

24:46

conspiracy at work. Nothing is

24:48

happening again because

24:50

nothing happened the first time, just

24:53

like your mother. Excuse me, why

24:56

come with me to the forest, then?

24:59

Why bother with any of this? I

25:01

really need to go. No, Jeremy,

25:03

you have to listen to me. Your father, he was

25:05

worried that night, the last time that I

25:07

saw him. He wasn't himself. I think I

25:10

think he knew. I think he knew that something more

25:12

was going on. Something had followed

25:14

him too, And he's not the only one.

25:16

I'm sorry. I don't think I can

25:19

help you if you are not careful,

25:22

If you don't listen to me, it

25:24

will get you too. What will get

25:26

me to huh? You

25:28

don't even know what it is that you're afraid of and fear

25:31

for. Fear sake is just not something that I'm interested

25:33

in entertaining by

25:35

ann whoa,

25:41

it sounds intense. Yeah,

25:44

it was the look in her eyes. It's

25:46

so odd. It was like one

25:48

moment she's taking down a negligent cop

25:51

several notches, and then the next she's

25:53

gone completely tinfoil hat kan

25:55

the rice. I

25:59

have to say your text

26:01

was perfectly timed. I just wanted

26:03

out. Yeah, I've helped a lot of friends

26:05

on bad dates. Hey,

26:08

I'm sorry I couldn't figure out

26:10

more. I think you're right. I think the Wapanog

26:12

symbol for waters in there, and then there's

26:15

the Norse symbol for fire, but it seems to be

26:17

an abstraction of the traditional norsem

26:20

where that they're paired together. And

26:22

there's a few in here that look Japanese.

26:25

They're definitely not Japanese characters.

26:27

But it's all too deliberate just to be random

26:29

carving. So yeah, exactly.

26:32

Yeah, well thanks for trying all the same. I

26:34

think we should do another survey of the petroglyphs

26:36

in the area and just see if we can find any other

26:38

fresh ones, and I don't

26:40

know, maybe look through some old files.

26:43

Yeah, I guess I'm not sure why it took them,

26:45

honestly, sentimentality. Maybe I

26:48

doubt there's going to be anything new here. Yeah,

26:51

maybe not. But retrow

26:54

photos is

26:58

that? Is that assen at ledge? Sure

27:01

is? Oh my god, doesn't

27:03

it look exactly the same. There's less graffiti.

27:06

Yeah, you can see the carvings on the rock face

27:08

pretty clearly. This is really great, um,

27:13

professor. Yeah,

27:15

look the pyramid rock by

27:18

the lake, there's symbols

27:20

on it. What oh

27:24

huh. Maybe the old ones got

27:26

weather away and somebody went back and recarved them

27:28

all. But why

27:30

and why now? I mean, and if your dad was investigating

27:32

this area and there were these symbols then and

27:35

now his badge shows up a

27:38

careful bit and you were starting to sound an awful lot

27:40

like Anne. I think that's enough for tonight.

27:42

We should probably both get some sleep, Professor.

27:44

If we get into this habit, we're both

27:46

going to be dead before the book comes out. Yeah,

27:50

unless a giant snake gets us first.

27:54

Yeah, that could happen. You

27:57

heading out, Um, I'm gonna

28:00

stick around and get some thesis

28:02

work done if you don't mind, No,

28:04

of course not. My office is your office

28:06

to night Biben Night, Professor.

28:27

Professor Bradshaw. I'm

28:30

so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. It's

28:33

okay, I'm it's a little jumpie.

28:37

Fine, Sorry, I just I

28:40

was hoping to talk to you. Ah,

28:44

Okay, it's a officer

28:47

Batista, right, yeah, but I'm not

28:49

hearing in official capacity and off

28:52

duty. Okay, h

28:57

can you tell me what this is about? Did you find

28:59

the missing hiker? Uh no,

29:01

not yet. We're organizing a search now. But

29:06

I overheard your conversation with Katie and

29:08

the symbols, those rock

29:10

carvings that you brought in. I

29:14

I know what they are. Bridgewater
