Day Twenty-Two - Afternoon and Evening


     Something strange is starting. A certain restlessness amongst the locals, a certain malaise in the air. Hard to put a finger on what, exactly, is causing it or where it’s coming from, but there’s definitely something afoot. Chances are second to none this was what Curly was referring to about a week back, something about the trouble that goes on in the summer. Well, wouldn’t you know it, the air is getting noticeably warmer, summer just around corner, and now no one lingers on the streets like they used to. People take their conversations inside with them, warry of new the faces in the streets. They keep vigil on Smith’s out of town associates, much like they did when Casper was their person of interest.

     Needless to say, something’s going on, but it’s happening in places Casper isn’t privy too, places he can’t pry into. Not without attracting a lot of attention, that is. He’s getting very, very curious about the whole thing and that doesn’t bode well for him. He knows all too well from past experience what a dangerous thing curiosity can be, but sometimes he can’t help himself. What he can do is be sneaky about his snooping so he’s not as likely to get caught. That’s what his spies are for.
