Agent Cooper,

Not at all. It's become very bizarre and is lacking in apple pie. I think the Bureau has picked up on its strangeness, actually. My ex-boyfriend's father is Agent Rafael McCall. He's in town.

Miss Argent,

Never met him, unfortunately - must be from the San Francisco branch. Pretty far distance from Philadelphia! But I can guarantee that you're in good hands - and that's not to belittle the work you and your father have already done. At the same time, sounds to me like you fine people are all in a decent amount of trouble.

Agent Cooper,

Must be! I thought I would offer his name anyway, just in case.

I think this town is a magnet for trouble. It seems to come and go, but now it's here full force. It's a little more than meddling teenagers getting caught up in the mess, too. The police force here does what it can - we sometimes work with the local sheriff, who's a father of one of my friends. Opening the lines of communication help a lot. It's never easy when you have to dance around a subject.

Miss Argent,

Opening communication typically means that the music stops and there's nothing to dance around. Do you agree?

Now, as I said before, I live my life by a code of my own on top of that which the Bureau requires - and that includes confidentiality. If you can't tell me, I understand. It still sounds to me like you might be in some kind of danger.

Agent Cooper,

I've thought about it a lot, telling you about what's happening. My problem is that I'm worrying about whether you'll think I'm pulling your leg here. It's not right to keep this information contained to a small group of people, especially when others are in danger, but the fact is that the whole thing sounds ridiculous when you sit down to talk about it.

No one really believes teenagers. I'm lucky to have a few adults who do now, though. I think you're a guy I can trust, though.

Miss Argent,

Given my own personal circumstances and beliefs, discounting the words of others based on nothing more than their age would be both a contradiction and a mistake that I can't afford to make. I'd like to take a moment to assure you that you can trust me, by all means, and that if people are in danger, no one would begrudge you for letting people know. Least of all me.

Agent Cooper,

How much do you know about werewolves?

Because that's my family business, hunting them. Or, well, it was until I fell in love with one. There are good wolves here, among the bad ones, but that rule applies to all humans too. The good ones, my ex included, are why I changed the hunter's code. Our main credence was previously: "Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent." We hunt those who hunt us. I've made an addition recently: "Nous chassons ceux qui nous chassent." We protect those who cannot protect themselves.

To save our parents, three of us made a major sacrifice that has potentially made us a target for future attacks. The major death toll here has obviously attracted Federal attention.

I realize how bizarre this all reads on paper. I can assure you that this is very serious.

Allison,

I have a certain image that I can't get out of my head. Ever seen The Wolfman? Put a full moon in the sky and something terrible happens. Are we on the same page?

I know how it looks. I have it right in front of me. But to invalidate the experiences of others is to cast out the world at large, and that's something I can't abide by. If you need help, all you have to do is ask.

- Dale Coper

Agent Cooper,

You're exactly right. There are many variations to the change, so whatever you're seen or read about probably exists in the world.

I really appreciate you listening to me and I can't stress that enough. This was supposed to be an exchange about my future, but I guess you can't talk about the future without considering the present.

I hope we can talk in person one of these days. I'd really like to meet you.

- Allison

[caffeinisms]

Allison,

Just remember that it's our choices today that will make us into who we'll be tomorrow. As it stands now, if I have your permission, I'd like to take a look at just what's happening out there in Beacon Hills. I'll have to report it to the Bureau, of course, but it sounds to me like they already have something regarding it on file.

- Dale Cooper

[industria]

Agent Cooper,

You definitely have my permission. I think we're getting in way over our heads here.

I guess it isn't a sign of weakness to ask for help. That's what I'm trying to tell myself at least.

Thank you,
Allison

Allison,

Knowing when to ask for assistance and swallow your pride is another key to becoming a responsible adult. In my personal opinion, you've made the right decision.

See you soon,
Dale Cooper
