A Pocket's Charm.

"I don't like you that much.
I could turn you into DUST."

[INTERCEPTED RADIO TRANSMISSION.]
[CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO OFFICERS.]
[LOCATION OF INTERCEPTION: NEIGHBOURING TOWN TIMBERBEND, OREGON.]
[DATE OF INTERCEPTION: JULY 18TH, 2015. 3:17 PM.]

[Officer 1: "...Hey, Barkley? Do you copy?"]
[Officer 2: "Yeah, I'm here Rodger. Remind me again why you wanted to tune into an unused channel?"]
[Officer 1: "I want to keep this conversation between us, no one else, can't risk it.]
[Officer 2: "Right... uh, what exactly is there to risk?"]
[Officer 1: "Come on, y'know... the thing we talked about at the station.]
[Officer 2: "Rodger, please. It's our day off, we don't need to talk about that shit.]
[Officer 1: "How can we not talk about it? It's stressing me out, man. I can't stop thinking about it.]
[Officer 2: "You're getting worked up over nothing. They're prank calls, that's all they are.]
[Officer 1: "...And what if they aren't?"]
[Officer 2: "Ugh... listen, you can't seriously be buying into this. It's nothing; besides it's out of our power. I don't want to talk about this right now. Call me later.]
[Officer 1: "Okay, fine... whatever. Bye.]

[CONVERSATION PICKS BACK UP AT 9:31 PM.]

[Officer 2: "...Rodger?"]
[Officer 1: "Eh? Barkley? What is it? I wasn't actually expecting to hear back from you today."]
[Officer 2: "Yeah... uhm, hey, listen... about the thing we were talking about earlier. Your speculation, it... it got to me, okay? I don't know how you managed to make me get even a little curious... but I did some research, and..."]
[Officer 1: "...Uhuh? You paused, is something wrong?"]
[Officer 2: "Oh, shit, sorry, I'm... I got a lot on my mind. From this whole thing... right, anyways, did some digging on the internet, found a single online forum talking about it and... it's fucking real, Rodger. You were right.]
[Officer 1: "Huh? Wait, you mean...?"]
[Officer 2: "The town... GALLOBROOK... it's a real town."]
[Officer 1: "Holy shit. But... all those calls coming into our station from a 'Gallobrook', those were real too then..."]
[Officer 2: "...those people are in trouble. Serious trouble. T-They... they need our help!]
[Officer 1: "Barkley, slow down. How? How can we help them? The damn town isn't marked on any map, and we have no reliable method to find it.]
[Officer 2: "Then we'll just do it the hard way. We have to, we need to. Tomorrow, we'll both call in sick, I'll come over and pick you up, then we drive out of town and... go around. Try to find maybe a road or a sign, just any clue pointing towards the location of Gallobrook.]
[Officer 1: "...Wow. Okay. Yeah... okay. Let's do it.]

[END OF CONVERSATION.]

GALLOBROOK.
