1 00:00:01,879 --> 00:00:07,320 It was my best friend Luke's idea to form our own detective agency, inspired 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:11,960 by the shows we loved watching together. We lived on Brook Street in a 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,320 small town in Oregon, so we called ourselves the brook Street Sleuths. We 4 00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:24,640 advertised our services on the community board in Elmer's Market, which usually cost twenty 5 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,239 five cents a week, but mister Elmer kindly allowed it for free. We 6 00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:34,600 worked on various cases in the space of a month or so over one summer. 7 00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:41,439 Who's been taking the blackberries from Miss Jacob's brambles? Solved almost everyone who 8 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,560 passed by? And lots of chipmunks? What made the small hole in Lowery's 9 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:53,399 front yard solved a chipmunk? Yeah, we had an abundance of chipmunks in 10 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:59,520 town, but not all the mysteries involved the little critters. They were clearly 11 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,399 not miss Is to the adults who hired us. But the best thing about 12 00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:07,599 living in that kind of community was the willingness of our neighbors to contribute to 13 00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:14,319 our idea of fun. Luke and I were rewarded with many sodas and candy 14 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:21,480 bars for our sleuthing skills. Despite our success rate, the brook Street Sleuths 15 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,239 was a short lived agency. Our last ever case began with a very real 16 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:34,519 mystery, where is mister Page's dog? Frank Page was a retired widower and 17 00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:40,400 happened to be my next door neighbor. His dog, Milo, a Yorkie, 18 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,079 was what Frank referred to as a pain in the proverbial. Milo was 19 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,079 an expert escape artist. It was always getting out of the yard and causing 20 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:56,120 mischief in town, but would usually come back home with his tail wagging after 21 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,439 an hour or two. One evening we could hear calling for Milow from the 22 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:07,120 doorstep. He had escaped as per, but it had been several hours and 23 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,000 he still hadn't returned. My dad offered to drive around the neighborhood to look 24 00:02:12,039 --> 00:02:16,840 for him, but had no luck. The next morning, I helped Frank 25 00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:22,400 make a missing poster. We stuck a photograph of Marlow and a sheet of 26 00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:27,520 paper using a glue stick, and I neatly wrote the details underneath in black 27 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,159 marker, as dictated by Frank. Then we went to Elmer's Market to use 28 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:38,080 the photocopier and made ten copies. It should have cost us a dollar, 29 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,919 but mister Elmer said there was no charge and wished us luck in finding him. 30 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,479 Frank bought me a kola as a thank you. You're a good kid, 31 00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:53,240 Ricky, he said, patting my back. I could hear he was 32 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:58,680 upset. We'll find him, mister Page, I said, The brook Street 33 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,479 sleuths are on the case. He chuckled. He's a piece of work, 34 00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:09,319 but I'd be lost without him. I'll go knock for Luke just as soon 35 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,159 as we've put up these posters. We left one on the board in Elma's, 36 00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:19,800 then stood the remaining posters on telegraph poles earned the two bus shelters in 37 00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:23,360 town. I asked Frank if I could keep hold of the original photograph of 38 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,240 Milo. That way I could show it to the local residents during our investigation. 39 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,280 Before I knocked for Luke, I went back home to tell my parents. 40 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,599 Don't wonder too far, Ricky said, Mom, and stay out of 41 00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:42,520 the woods. I don't like the thoughts of you boys and there alone. 42 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,319 There was a woodland area that lined the back of town. I absolutely planned 43 00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:53,879 on looking in there. I told my mom I wouldn't though, of course. 44 00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:58,159 I grabbed my bike and rode to Luke's to fill them in on the 45 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,400 details. We rode around town and knocked on doors asking if they'd seen my 46 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:12,159 Low. It was mostly unsuccessful, but one lady had some potentially useful information 47 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,680 now that I think about it, she said on a doorstep, I did 48 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,879 see a little dog significant around the brambles and Maple Road yesterday. Thank you, 49 00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:29,120 ma'am, said Luke. We discussed it as we retrieved our bikes from 50 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,199 the end of the driveway. There are two houses on Maple Road with brambles 51 00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:38,600 in the yard, he said, Miss Jacobs, I said, and the 52 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:44,720 Deans. Why did it have to be the Deans. The Dean family were 53 00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:48,720 not known for their one community spirit, especially the oldest son, Tommy. 54 00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:55,639 He was a senior and notorious troublemaker who had caused Luke and I a lot 55 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,240 of grief. The family also had a much bigger, meaner dog that would 56 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,319 probably treat Marlow as a snack. We will go to Miss Jacob's house first, 57 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,560 said Luke. If we're lucky, we won't have to go to the 58 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,240 Deans at all. We left our bikes on the sidewalk and knocked on Miss 59 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,279 Jacob's door. Well, she said, warmly, if it isn't the Brook 60 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:28,759 Street sleuths, Hello, Miss Jacobs. We said in unison, what can 61 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,160 I do for you? Boys? We're looking for my neighbor, mister Page's 62 00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:38,720 dog, I said, showing the other photo. He went missing yesterday afternoon. 63 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,879 Oh no, she said, I'm familiar. I sometimes see him in 64 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,639 the yard by the brambles, but I haven't seen him for days. Thank 65 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:54,279 you anyway, Miss Jacobs said, Luke, of course, she said, 66 00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,879 I'll keep my eye out. Oh and help yourselves to blackberries. As we 67 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,519 walked down Miss Jacob's pathway, we looked at each other with concern, knowing 68 00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:11,720 we now had to visit the Deans. We took the opportunity to eat a 69 00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:15,319 view of the ripened berries before braving it, then wheeling our bikes to their 70 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,319 house. The yard was in as kempt as the others in the neighborhood. 71 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:27,240 It was overgrown and there were scraps of metal from various vehicles darted around like 72 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:32,240 a junkyard. We slowly walked up the path. As soon as we knocked 73 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,639 on the door, they came loud barking from inside that made us jump, 74 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,839 followed by shouting. The door flew open and mister Dean was standing there holding 75 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,399 back their monster of a dog. By the collar, were just barking at 76 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,959 us like crazy. Shut the hell up, he yelled down at it. 77 00:06:54,079 --> 00:06:58,360 It quiet and down, but growled under its breath. What do you want, 78 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,399 oh, sir, I stuttered. We're asking around to see if anyone 79 00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:10,160 has seen my neighbor's dog. I took out the photo he went missing yesterday. 80 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,959 But what makes you think I had anything to do with it? He 81 00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:17,839 snapped. It's not like that, Sir, said Luke. We're just asking 82 00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:21,800 if you've seen him, that's all. He sometimes wonders around the neighborhood. 83 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,199 Who do you think you are? He said, Clombo or something. Luke 84 00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:32,600 and I turned to each other like it had been a bad idea. I'm 85 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,240 sorry to have bothered you, Sir, I said, turning to leave. 86 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,240 Believe me, he said, if that rat had been anywhere near here, 87 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,639 Caine would have sorted it out. The dog started barking again, and we 88 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:51,199 hurried back down the path. I don't want to see you boys and my 89 00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:56,639 property again, he yelled after us. I won't hold him back next time, 90 00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:01,680 he laughed loudly. As we quickly rode away, my heart beating hard. 91 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,240 We stopped around the corner to catch our breath. Then we started to 92 00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:15,360 laugh uncomfortably. God, I hate that family, said Luke. We heard 93 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,040 the roar of an engine, and a ross bucket of a car came hurtling 94 00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:24,079 around the corner, its tires screeching on the road. It was Tommy Dean 95 00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:28,360 behind the wheel. When he noticed Luke and I, he gave us the 96 00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:35,559 finger and sped away out of sight. So suspicious, I said, but 97 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:41,399 maybe too obvious? Luke shrugged. They're assholes. But I think we need 98 00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:48,279 to investigate more first, when it felt like we'd exhausted all avenues in town, 99 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,720 I suggested we look in the woods. Luke was apprehensive, as like 100 00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:01,039 me, he was forbidden from the woods without an adult. But it seemed 101 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:03,960 logical that a dog would be drawn to the woods, especially with all the 102 00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:09,639 chipmunks the chase. If we do find Milo there, I said, we'll 103 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:16,159 just pretend we found him someplace that won't get us in trouble. We looked 104 00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:18,840 around for an hour or so, shouting Milo's name from time to time. 105 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,080 He got to the point where we figured if Milow was somewhere he could hear 106 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:30,039 us, he would have made himself known by now. Before we left. 107 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,559 We both confessed in kneading the bathroom badly, so we went in opposite directions 108 00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:41,360 to find a secluded spot to pea. Rickie, I heard Luke's scream after 109 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:46,440 a few minutes, I quickly finished and retrieved my bike. Where are you, 110 00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:52,840 I yelled, my nerves on edge. Over here, I saw him 111 00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:58,240 standing in a small clearing and rushed over. What is it? I asked, 112 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,399 out of breath. He didn't answer. Luke had found what looked like 113 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:11,240 the sight of a sacrificial ritual. There were strange symbols drawn on to several 114 00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:16,000 tree trunks, and what appeared to be blood. In the center was a 115 00:10:16,039 --> 00:10:20,440 slab of stone with a chalked drawing of three triangles, all pointing the same 116 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:28,080 way but overlapping each other. In the center of that was a severed animal 117 00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:35,679 paw. It had the same auburn colored fur as Milo's. Oh my god, 118 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:41,159 I said quietly. I really want to leave now, said Luke in 119 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:48,480 an almous whisper. I nodded, yeah, come on. As I went 120 00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:52,559 to pick up my bike, I saw a small satchel sitting by a log 121 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,919 I walked over to it. Luke, spotting it too, leave it, 122 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,799 Rickie. He said, it's evidence I said, about to pick it up, 123 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,879 but then I remembered not to contaminate it. I used the stick to 124 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,879 lift the flap open and peek inside. There was a pack of cigarettes and 125 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:20,080 some school textbooks. Senior biology and math student. I said. I found 126 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,559 a large leaf and used it to cover my fingertips, opening the first page 127 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:31,519 of the biology book written in pencil in the top right corner Tommy Dean. 128 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,519 A shiver went through me as I told Luke. We got on our bikes 129 00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:43,360 and rode like the wind, heading straight to the Sheriff's office. We burst 130 00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:50,399 in and both started yelling whoa fellas said Deputy Campbell from behind his desk, 131 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:58,679 garm yourselves now, what seems to be the problem. We explained everything, 132 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,840 and I were escorted back to the woods to show the deputy what we had 133 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:09,559 found. Sweet Mother of Jesus, he said, calling it in. It 134 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:16,039 was a search conducted at the Dean's house. Inside Tommy's bedroom, they not 135 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,679 only found an ancient book of the occult containing the very symbols found at the 136 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:28,159 scene, but also Milo's color. Apparently, he protested his innocence as they 137 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,720 took him in for questioning. I heard all of this through the walls as 138 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:37,600 my parents talked about it that night, having been banished to my room or 139 00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:45,200 mister Page was devastated. The disturbing nature of it rocked our sleepy community. 140 00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:50,399 But Luke and I were commended for our help in the investigation. We both 141 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:56,840 received honorary badges from the Sheriff's department, making us feel like real investigators. 142 00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:03,360 After a couple of days, Miss Jacobs required our services again. My mom 143 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,720 was reluctant for me to carry on Plaine detective, as she called it, 144 00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:13,519 but my dad talked her around. Luke and I went to visit Miss Jacobs 145 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,840 late afternoon and were greeted by a wonderful smell. Take a seat, boys, 146 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,039 she said, I begged you a BlackBerry pie call let her thank you 147 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:30,840 for your services to the community. Thanks, Miss Jacobs, we both said 148 00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:35,240 together, excitedly, sitting in the dining table where a warm pie sat in 149 00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:41,720 the center. She cut two slices and plaited them up, handing us one 150 00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:48,240 each by an appetite. She smiled, taking a seat as we started talking 151 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:54,320 into the delicious pie. Well done on your investigation. That must have been 152 00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:01,200 quite a shock discovering such a gruesome scene Luke nodded. It was scary. 153 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:07,519 It wasn't it ricky? Yeah, I agreed, But we handled it like 154 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:15,000 professionals. She chuckled. I'm sure you did. I always knew that Tommy 155 00:14:15,039 --> 00:14:18,399 Dean was a rotten apple. I can't help but wonder what it was all 156 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:24,039 for, though, Why sacrifice that little dog? We looked at each other 157 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:30,639 and shrugged. With mouthfuls of pie. And those symbols, What did they 158 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:37,200 mean? My dad said it was devil worship, said Luke. I'm sure 159 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,039 he's right, She said, to think I'd only seen that poor dog a 160 00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:46,240 few hours before Tommy took him. I can't help but think I could have 161 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,799 done something to help. You couldn't have known, miss Jacobs, I said, 162 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:56,279 it's not your fault. She patted my hand. Thank goodness, you 163 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,720 hero has found those school books of his had the scene. Imagine what else 164 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,480 he could have done if it weren't for you, I tried to think. 165 00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:11,360 Luke and I looked at each other and smiled with pride. Excuse me a 166 00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:16,759 moment, she said, I'll be right back. We're heroes, I chuckled. 167 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,440 When she'd left the room. We found the villain and saved the day. 168 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:26,799 Luke giggled. As we kept tucking in. I couldn't help but feel 169 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:33,720 like something wasn't quite right. Then it hit me, Wait, didn't Miss 170 00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:37,799 Jacobs say she hadn't seen Milo for a few days when we were investigating. 171 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:46,039 He shrugged, Yeah so, but she just said she saw him a few 172 00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:52,919 hours before Tommy took him. His brow furrowed. Oh yeah, she's an 173 00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:58,639 old lady, though, Ricky, my grandma is very forgetful. I contemplated 174 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:06,759 it, but it still didn't feel right. My eyes widened. The Sheriff's 175 00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:11,799 department didn't release the evidence, I said, quietly, how did she know 176 00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:18,039 about the books? Luke's eyes widened to match mine. As Miss Jacobs came 177 00:16:18,039 --> 00:16:23,159 back into the room, Well you look at that, she said, you've 178 00:16:23,159 --> 00:16:29,679 almost finished your pie. Let me cut you another slice. No, I 179 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,399 said, clearing my throat. It was delicious, but very filling, Very 180 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:41,799 well, she smiled, let me take this dish away. Then when she 181 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:47,559 lifted the pie dish, Luke and I both stared in horror. Scratched in 182 00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:55,200 the wooden table with three triangles overlapping each other. Oh yes, she said, 183 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,720 there was a mystery of you. To solve a mystery ingredient. I 184 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:06,680 wonder if you've got the detective skills to work it out. Luke looked at 185 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,240 me like he was about to cry, and I felt exactly the same. 186 00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:17,200 He coughed a little and put his fingers to his mouth, pulling something out. 187 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,599 What is it, Luke, she said. He covered his mouth like 188 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:30,079 he was about to puke. Hair clue number one, she said, and 189 00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:37,119 you ricky, I shook my head. We'd like to leave now, Miss 190 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:42,440 Jacobs, nonsense, she said. She took my plate away and put the 191 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:49,079 pie dish in front of me. Go on, have a look. I 192 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,839 looked at Luke, who was clearly terrified. My hands were shaking as I 193 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:59,880 picked up the fork and pulled pieces of pastry away. As I searched the 194 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:06,279 thick, dark purple filling my fork made a clink sound. I picked it 195 00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:11,279 out with my fingers. I could instantly feel what it was, a long 196 00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:18,200 canine tooth. I threw it across the table and pushed myself back, grabbing 197 00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:22,480 Luke's arm as we made a run for the door. It slammed shut, 198 00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:26,680 and the light that had been coming through the windows dimmed. The symbol on 199 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:32,519 the table began to glow as if it was drawn in embers. Luke and 200 00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:36,480 I had her arms around each other as we sniveled, not being able to 201 00:18:36,519 --> 00:18:41,799 comprehend what was happening. Miss Jacob smiled from across the room, her hair 202 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:48,920 flowing as if caught in a breeze. What are your findings, she asked. 203 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:55,440 The brook Street sleuths must be able to figure it out. You killed 204 00:18:55,519 --> 00:19:00,839 my low, I shouted, and the thought of it made me sick. 205 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:10,119 Bravo, she clapped, Make the sacrifice, feed the innocent. But why, 206 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,400 screamed Luke. I am far older than any human should be. She 207 00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:22,039 cackled, that takes a bit of dark magic to maintain. She grabbed Luke 208 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,160 and I tried to pull him away from her, but with a flick of 209 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,359 her hand, I was forced against the wall. She threw him down onto 210 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,640 the symbol, and he screamed out as smoke began to rise around him. 211 00:19:34,759 --> 00:19:40,640 It burns, He screamed in pain. Leave him alone, I cried, 212 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,519 but she turned to me. The features that made her Miss Jacobs faded, 213 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:53,200 revealing something ancient and decayed. Blue skin hung from visible bones, empty sockets, 214 00:19:53,440 --> 00:20:00,640 whispy strands of hair, teeth surrounded by split leathery gums, your next 215 00:20:00,759 --> 00:20:07,079 ricky, she yelled, deep in demonic. Her mouth opened wide, and 216 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,240 she took Luke's whole head inside. His arms and legs began to kick about 217 00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:17,319 as I could hear muffled groans coming from inside her. There were snapping sounds 218 00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:22,960 as part of a dislocated like a snake to swallow him hole. Before long, 219 00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:26,839 his shoulders could no longer be seen. She made greedy gut her own 220 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:33,640 noises as she forced his body down her throat. I was paralyzed against the 221 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,119 wall, forced to watch as my best friend was eaten alive. I could 222 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:45,079 feel my mind snapping like her ancient bones. Luke's legs were still kicking as 223 00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:49,880 she reached his knees, and her long bony fingers gripped around his ankles to 224 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,839 push the last bit of him inside. There came a loud bang, something 225 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:03,759 that startled her as well as me. The door to the dining room flew 226 00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:07,960 open, and three officers burst into the room, led by Deputy Campbell. 227 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:15,640 Jesus. He yelled, taking aim at what was once Miss Jacobs. She 228 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,200 wretched and Luke's whole body slipped out of her, collapsing on the table. 229 00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:25,000 In a cocoon of translucent goo. I fell from the wall and hid the 230 00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:29,799 floor hard as the officers opened fire on her, forcing her back with a 231 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,880 multi layered scream. The window shattered and natural light poured in, making her 232 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:41,240 scream even louder as if burned by the rays. I ran to Luke and 233 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,920 pulled him from the table, relieved when he was still breathing. The glowing 234 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:52,680 symbol was fading, and with a final shriek, the former Miss Jacobs became 235 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:59,519 a cloud of smoke that was seemingly sucked into the symbol. Then everything when 236 00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:06,079 deathly silent for a few seconds. As it happened, Tommy Dean had managed 237 00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:11,559 to convince the sheriff to investigate Miss Jacobs. He insisted that he had seen 238 00:22:11,599 --> 00:22:17,880 her on his property and that is satchel couldn't be found afterwards. Thank god 239 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,359 he did, because Luke and I will not be here today if it wasn't 240 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:30,599 for him. We carry the mental scars, but we live. Suffice to 241 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:57,359 say, the brook Street Sleuths were no more after that day.
