Chapter 17
âEvery single state except for Hawaii has had sightings of Sasquatch. If we look at it logically, how can all those people be imagining it?â
âBeth Randall, assistant producer, âMyth Gnomersâ
As cozy as Sophieâs bed was compared to the hard ground I had been sleeping on for days, I was restless. I was positive Caroline was up to no good, and determined to find out what it was. There was no way that gorgeous, snooty Caroline would ever make out with a creep like Jake unless she wanted something badly. I just needed proof.
Finally, when the house was silent, I got up and pulled my newly mended black sweatshirt on, partly because I was cold and partly because it felt appropriate to wear black when conducting an illegal search.
I tiptoed down the hall into the living room, ears perked for any noises. The lab seemed like the most logical place to keep evidence of illicit activities. I wasnât exactly sure what I was looking for, but Iâd kick myself if I let this prime snooping opportunity pass. As I rifled through the stacks of papers and notebooks filled with numbers and formulas, I began to better understand how serious these guys were about their research. Everything was meticulously recorded. I had no idea what all the statistics indicated, or why there was an entire notebook full of phonetic notations, but it was fascinating and nerve-racking. Weâd have to get equally hardcore to beat them.
I would have kept looking if it werenât for the loud, sudden howl, which jolted me out of my reading, making me stub my toe on the desk and hop away silently swearing.
âWhat the hell was that?â I raced to the window but couldnât see anything in the absolute darkness outside.
The desperate howling erupted again, and by the sound of it, the beast was close by.
Caroline rushed into the living room and moved to the window next to mine.
âWhat do you think it is?â I asked. âA coyote?â
She shook her head. âNo, coyotes donât howl like that,â she replied. âIâve been analyzing audio recordings of animals as research for this project, and Iâve never heard any animal sound similar to this one.â
It took me a second to realize that something was very different about Caroline, besides the fact that she wasnât insulting me. She was wearing a fleece nightgown and sporting a retainer and ugly square glasses.
My eyes widened in surprise. Caroline was a secret geek, trapped in a hot girlâs body. That explained a lot, really. Maybe she was just insecure.
She caught me staring at her. âWhat the hell are you looking at? Yes, I wear glasses. Big freaking deal. We need to get a recording now.â She snapped her fingers in my face. âPay attention.â
She dashed into the dining room and started searching through equipment boxes.
âAre you really thinking of going out there?â I asked.
Caroline returned with a clunky piece of equipment that looked like something out of an older episode of Doctor Who. âSure.
