Case #120: Stalked in the Woods! Sasquatch At My Homework?


The day started like almost any other for Shaine Okami. He woke up at 6:30 AM, even though school started at 8:00, showered, dressed, and went to the Red-E-Mart for his usual breakfast of a few donuts and a hot chocolate. Healthy? Nope. But the caffeine and sugar stimulated him to a point he could think clearly. Today was the first day of his junior year, and he was dreading each and every one of the upcoming eight hours. He sat at a table and sighed, adding Irish cream to his drink.

"Well, looks like I won't have your club making midnight snack raids, huh?" Johnson, the owner/cashier/attendant chuckled. Shaine gave a wry smile.

"It's your fault for keeping this place open 24/7," he defended. "Besides, I'm pretty sure the Hostess guy likes the fact that our midnight Twinky runs are adding more money to his wallet." Johnson laughed.

"Find Bigfoot or Nessie yet?" It was a common joke around town about the club, and almost everyone took it with a laugh. Shaine had his usual response.

"I'll tell you as soon as an alien abducts you just to stick a thermometer up your cornhole." The two laughed.
