AND THE OFFICE DOG
DAY ONE FROM THE DESK OF D.D. MALONE, PI:
"A RUDE AWAKENING!!"
FILE NO. 203-1441
SURF: Excellent, Swells 7-9 feet WEATHER: Clear and Sunny, Wind: 14-16 Knots, Water Temp 79 NOTES: Woke up with a jolt early this morning to sound of a thundering dune buggy shaking up the whole place again. Office Dog rattled. Local animals disturbed. No injuries reported. INCIDENT: On Tuesday, around 5:45am, local residents reported they saw Tubes roar through the thicket along the dirt road again in a loud purple dune buggy before he disappeared. Soon after, the young maverick was sighted surfing just inside of the most dangerous part of the reef in prime shark territory. Later in the morning, after raising the flags, and a fantastic breakfast, the Office Dog and I went to investigate and by early afternoon had discovered a secret hideaway and a surf shack disguised in an untouched area where the waves seem to create a perfect tube every time. Took a ‘wait and see’ approach, and will continue mapping and searching the area for other clues. No sign of the dune buggy. NOTE: Very irritating and smelly pelican eating fish and making a terrible mess all over the place. Hammock looks comfortable – noticed a shark tooth necklace on a small table but decided not to take it. The suspect is described as a young, blonde-haired, boy maybe 10-11 years old, 4’0-4’4", approximately 70 lbs., wiry build, no shirt, orange shorts and possibly wearing black surf sandals. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective D.D. Malone at 963-506-4724, or the Office Dog, same number. FOLLOW-UP: Will come back tomorrow if we can, (the surf report is calling for the Storm of the Century) and set up a tree fort for secret surveillance. Aside from all of our usual gadgets, we will need a map, compass, binoculars, rope, camera, comic books, a slingshot, snacks, notepad and Office Dog's teddy bear. CITATIONS WRITTEN UP FOR: Trespassing, surfing, disturbing the peace, not obeying the beach rules and making me break my alarm clock.
