Quiet on the home front

I spent the past several days traveling to Australia to assist our local team in the release of the creatures that had been locked up by the APWA. We were able to set many free and while I nearly lost my hand dealing with one of the more devious creatures, nearly all of them survived. A few had apparently been eaten by other creatures before we arrived and another jumped from its cage as soon as we opened it - falling to its death. We mourn those creatures as we feel there should be Equality for All Life. If we can see the equality in ourselves, these creatures will one day be able to be looked at as something more than just some weird animal.

So I'm writing this as I'm leaving to England to help thwart the upcoming Stonehenge event. I did get an e-mail again in Hutteese and I think it's some kid playing pranks:

"I will be there" is what it translated into.

If anyone can help narrow down the exact location where Buddy is located before he is transfered to Stonehenge - please send me whatever information you can. Derek... if there's anything you want to say before I get there and END YOU before you end our lost puppy - please feel free to speak your mind, I can't guarantee I'll grant you forgiveness for all you and your organization has done, but I'll consider it -- especially if you hand Buddy back to us now

Secret Agent Man

I'm not quite so sure who this Locke guy is, but he knows a good bit more information about the APWA than I expected prior to opening his e-mail. He sent in some of the pictures he took from "Site 7" the Australian base of the APWA, and pointed out that it is located beneath Ayers Rock.

Hello,

You can call me Locke, I work for... an agency. Let us leave it at that. I have been hot on the trail of the APWA for years with almost nothing substantial to show for it, until now. They have always been exceedingly adept at covering their tracks for throughout the last 50 years (at least, thats the farthest back we can estimate their activities with any confidence, it could have been much longer), but it seems they underestimated your love for Buddy, and your desire for his return. The pressure you've been applying these past few days has flushed them out into the open, and into making mistakes. They've abandoned their secret base in Australia, as you well know by now. I just visited and searched it for clues (I've included some photos that may help), and they have indeed left most of their test subjects to die (although some of them seem not to mind having the run of the place, as you can see in one of the photos). All evidence points to Stonehenge being their endgame. They must be stopped. I do not think I can do this alone, I will need help. Please get the word out.

Although I have been to the base, many of the creatures remained locked up as I had to departquick enough to follow the fleeing APWA's trail before it has disappeared. Therefore, if you could pass the word on to the Private Investigator you've been in contact with, we at the agency would be much obliged if someone could take care of the remaining liberation of the poor animals.

As for the location, it seems the APWA's fascination with strange rocks does not end at Stonehenge, Site 7 is located beneath Ayers Rock.
You'll find the Entrance on the East side, no doubt to cloak in shadow the comings in goings of APWA brass during the late evenings. It is marked with a quite large engraving of the APWA symbol, a testament to their arrogance. They must assume people would take it as meaningless graffiti. Thank you for your help. Good Luck.


-Locke

We wish these creatures the best of luck. To the Private Investigator who discovered they had abandoned Australia, Locke has asked for you to help free the remaining animals who remained imprisoned. I recommend caution in both dealing with Locke and the animals. The animals may be wild and we are unsure the hazards of handling any individual species located at the site. We intend to direct our Australia recovery team to Ayers Rock in an effort to help free the creatures from captivity (as safely as we can).

Thanks for the help Locke, I can't help but feel that we're one step closer to finding Buddy.

The Association for the Destruction of Weird Animals

We received some more disturbing information from the private investigator who has been digging up information about the APWA. It appears their fascination with weird animals may be a sham for something bigger.

After all my investigation, everything I've learned about the APWA can fill only a single paragraph. They seem to have somewhere in the range of 100 or so members, most of whom are scientists with a few corporate guys running things. I don't know any identities, but the head honchos are obviously very well off judging by the cars they drive. They have a secret lab somewhere in Australia where they keep a variety of strange animals in cages, apparently running tests on them. I spent weeks trying to find the lab, but in the end I couldn't muster anything more than a couple photos given to me by an inside source, which were later removed from my hotel room when it was ransacked. The other thing about all their members is they have that strange symbol which was emailed to you by Derek tattooed on their body. And although I cannot verify this, my source inside the APWA has told me that since they took Buddy to Europe, all the employees have abandoned the Australia lab and left the animals to die. Obviously whatever they're doing with Buddy at stonehenge, it appears to be some kind of end game. Hope this helps.

What kind of monsters are these? We're going to try to dispatch someone to Australia to try to free some of these animals from the lab - if we can find the exact location. Anyone with information on the location of this lab should contact us so we can help free these animals before they perish. Pictures of some of these creatures would help us determine what kind of protection we may need.

Please help us find our lost puppy before it's too late.

After a quiet weekend

Late last week we dispatched our recovery team to England in an effort to try to divert the APWA from Stonehenge. It has been a pretty quiet weekend with no word on Buddy's location or anything from the APWA. I'm a little nervous about the whole negative zone thing even though that seems a bit too sci-fi for my taste.

Today though, I received an e-mail from a private investigator who has been looking into the activities of the APWA. He mentioned they're already in England, which is very troubling to me. I'll leave out his name for his own protection, but I do want to ask him - can you tell us more about the APWA? We know these are a bunch of lunatics, take that Derek guy for example, but we don't know much else.

I suppose expecting you to believe that I stumbled across all those pictures by chance was too much. But it's always best to be suspicious, especially with the people we're dealing with. The truth is that I'm a private investigator, hired by a client to track the APWA and keep an eye on their activities. I've followed them all over the world and we've finally ended up in England. I saw on your blog that you suspect that they will be taking Buddy to stonehenge. I just thought you should know that they're close, I suspect that they will bring Buddy there no later than tomorrow night. I will try to follow them and see what they do, but any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Time is of the essence!

NOOO!!

Derek e-mailed again showing they are getting very close to Stone Henge. STOP! Don't go there it's not worth the risk!

To the guy who sent us the information about Negative Zone - please... please stop them! If they get there... it'll be the end of Buddy... please stop them!

Negative Ghost Rider

We had just learned that one of the people who has been helping us was actually a member of the APWA and misleading us. Today we've found out that the APWA isn't quite as solid as they perhaps hoped.

APWA - do you recognize this? The Negative Zone?




We know more about you than you had once thought. We will get Buddy back!

The stakes have jumped

So I was right - some of you readers ARE members of the APWA! I can't believe this, no wonder why some of the details we have received have felt like we've been on a wild goose chase. Listen, you don't know what you've done to our family and you don't know what you're doing with/to Buddy. Buddy's a member of our family, we love him. Please I beg of you - stop doing this to him and please bring him back to us.

Give up your search now. Our organization can camouflage ourselves and Buddy indefinitely.
We shall keep him safe from your monstrous plans!
Derek
Now that I think about it - I saw that tattoo on someone's arm! Was that you Mr. Derek? I don't forget faces! We're right on your trail and we know where you're taking him. Please don't take him there, that place isn't what you think it is. Stone Henge can really... really screw us all.
