Case meeting 3
 |
The detectives and Laura toss around ideas, to confirm what they know and plan what to do next. |
 |
"Jeremiah went to a lot of trouble – writing his letter, making a map with clues, tearing it in half and hiding it in the Shaman's rattle - then putting the rattle in the tin box, and hiding the box in the old store." |
 |
"We don’t know who he was hiding everything from or why. Or where the other half of the map is." |
 |
"I think we should work on the map clue. If it does lead to Ghost Mine we could see what secrets it holds." |
|
"Does anyone use the mine now?" |
 |
"Yeah – several people including two creepy guys, Bud and Elmore Morgan." |
|
"We’ve already met those turkeys. They gave us a hard time when we bought petrol." |
|
"Elmore's OK. He's a bit slow, but gentle. Bud's the mean one and Elmore follows his orders." |
|
"Their savage dog, Ralph, tried to eat me." |
 |
"You were lucky. Brad tamed him and saved you." |
|
"I'd hate to meet Bud on a dark night." |
|
"Yeah - he's violent and aggressive. Most people in town keep out of his way." |
|
|
|
"No-one really. It's a warren of small claims, owned by several families from way back. Bud and Elmore Morgan inherited one each." |
|
"The Morgan brothers again. They're everywhere." |
|
"They sure are. There's a sketch in mom's office of how we think the claims are laid out. I'll get it." |
Laura goes out across the courtyard to Aunt Jean's office, and comes back with a rough, hand-drawn sketch.
