mission
requiring a little more investigation.
     
    Pamela paces, steady back to Newspaper
Archives, gets comfortably while typing different key words into
local database searching articles related: CIA, BOA, TAG, IT,
Ashley Slanton, Thurston Slanton.
     
    No CIA articles of spies in Birmingham,
Alabama, Pamela isn’t particularly surprised there. She giggles,
lightly.
     
    No BOA articles of either slippery snakes, or
fluffy feathers in Birmingham.
     
    Six different articles refer popular child’s
game: Tag - You’re It!
     
    Pamela reads, silently, scratches, accurately
word “child’s game” onto rough pad.
     
    Tag - You’re It! The outdoor game is played
by kids anywhere from a park to a backyard providing good exercise
and lots of excitement. This game is an elimination game so those
tagged drop out of play. There are many variations including:
Octopus tag, Duck, Duck, Goose tag; Band-Aid Tag, Team Tag; Tunnel
Tag and Zombie Tag.
     
    Pamela skims, slowly article for the group of
English words: “Team Tag.”
     
    Team Tag consists of cops and robbers tag
split into two teams: cops (the “it” team who are in pursuit) and
robbers (the team being chased). The cops arrest the robbers by
tagging them. The game ends when all are tagged out of game.
     
    “Explains the CIA code names TAG and IT.”
Pamela huffs, musically.
     
    Ashley and Thurston are the good guys. Who
are the bad guys? Could Boa be the bad gal or guy?
     
    Pamela scrolls down article seeking “Tunnel
Tag” & finds, quickly only reference name. She gleams, slowly
next boring newspaper article with any interesting tidbits of
useful data.
     
    As she wraps, slowly the last clipping,
tagging definition appears: “Tunnel Tag.”
     
    Variation of Tunnel Tag plays inside walls
those caught must stand against wall until all parties are tagged.
Preference plays well within caverns, or caves. This version
created by Thurston Slanton via the newspaper article.
     
    “Bingo!” She yells, mildly then neck snaps
around room. Empty! She returns to screen, reads, slowly article
quoting “ ‘Thurston enjoyed spelunking under land better than
snorkeling under water and used his both sporting skills in his
job.’ ”
     
    Thurston loved his FBI job…way too much as
Pamela guesses, educationally with heavy evidence points to their
deaths during sporting activities of caving tagging, not water
tagging. Birmingham is landed locked with numerous fresh water
lakes & couple of rivers flowing through valley landscape. You
don’t really snorkel, beautifully with water moccasins in Lake
Smith near Talladega. Also, this is bestest clue her active mind
can deduct without capturing & interviewing Geneva.
     
    Pamela hasn’t thought of Geneva in three
hours & has guessed that Geneva probably knew both Ashley and
Thurston, not BOA. Who is BOA? She shakes, sideways black skull.
She walks out Newspaper Archive Room to Reference Book section of
library.
     
    She traces, lightly finger pad down Dewey
Decimal System 500-599: Natural Science division & collects,
heavily books on spelunking. Her results are four thickly heavy
bounded manuals representing school textbooks. She drops, nosily
into backpack then marches over three aisles to 900-999: History,
Geography & Biography section. Her find gathers nine thin
finely bounded books on Alabama history, topography and
geography.
     
    Pamela locates, secretively cubby desk in
rear of children’s section. Loud and obnoxious kids are good tidy
cover for her studying cave materials.
     
    She hasn’t forgotten this morning she
personally robbed another library of missing laptop. It can’t be
traced to her, maybe finger prints if Geneva finds it. But,
librarians and FBI guards are searching for her pretty face,
everywhere since air flights to both France and England were
staged. She giggles, lightly.
     
    She isn’t worried about Southside librarian
or food clerk at Burn U Breakfast Bar identifying her scruffy
disguise. They
