As per his instructions, Davey Doucet was finding out as much as he could about Graham and Smith. The INSECT compound just outside Haileybury, Ontario was a sprawling facility with hectares of flat, open land surrounding it. Doucet set up a telescope several kilometers away to watch the pair as they came and went, but this was not providing tangible results. What he needed was a way to get inside the compound, but with INSECTS’s paranoid-like need for security, this would prove most difficult.

Doucet’s prayers soon would be answered, when a casual conversation between himself and Mutt Jefferson revealed Mutt had outfitted a squirrel with a listening device and then trained it to hangout around peregrine falcon nests, so Mutt could study the eyasses. Mutt assured Doucet the squirrel could help him with his dilemma.

WHAT IT IS NOT

The trip by freighter from Oslo, Norway to Halifax, Nova Scotia was brutal, due to high winds, choppy seas and a lack of food and water. When the freighter finally entered the calm waters of the harbour, relief was evident on the faces of each and every chipmunk in the hold. Once tied up, the munks were hastily brought up from below, thrown into the trunk of a taxi and unceremoniously dumped in Point Pleasant Park, in the city’s south end.

The munks were on their own, and as a throng of local munks inched closer to them with dubious intent, a large red squirrel appeared. He talked a good game, convincing the freighter munks that life might not be so pleasant at this point, and they should consider following him to the Chapleau Game Preserve where interesting things were happening.

THE RAIDS

The Federal Bureau of Investigation released this photo at a news conference held on the outskirts of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. According to local agents, a raid was conducted in an effort to round up some wanted ringleaders of an international insect syndicate.

 

Although the raid did not produce any arrests, a wasp, a bee and a dragonfly were seen fleeing the scene. The only item of significance found was a manifesto outlining the group’s intentions and a list of companies tied to the genetically modified seed industry.

WHAT IT IS NOT

 

Hidden among the bushes and trees are six security guards employed by the Handelsbanken in Oslo, Norway. The guards have been instructed to detain the three remaining chipmunks that the bank used in a failed customer relations project.

 

These munks were once used in an effort to help customers of the bank count their cash at the bank’s ATMs, but the project was shelved for a variety of reasons. Most of the munks have been shipped back to Canada, but the three remaining ones seem determined to continue to help their customers.
