When the Pines and Soos made it to the gas station the news guy was right, the window of the store was shattered and a police car's hood was dented. They managed to get at the fron of the crowd of people who're witnessing the crime scene,"Man this is weird."Grunkle Stan said making Soos and his niece and nephew to look at him curiously,"What'd ya mean by that ?"Soos asked, Stan said,"I mean in all my years here in Gravity Falls there hasn't been any robberies."he replied.
Dipper rose an eyebrow,"Grunkle Stan don't you scam people out of their money and-?" Stan cut him off,"That's not the point!"he said irritatingly, Dipper shook his head before turning his attention back to the crime scene. He also noticed that Sheriff Blubs was talking to another officer, and Dipper could nearly see that both of them looked disturbed especially Sheriff Blubs,"Wow I've never seen a real crime scene before."Dipper heard Mabel say.
Mabel gasped before looking at Dipper,"Dipper what if the evil wax dummies are back?!"she whispered to her brother thinking this might be another was figure murder, Dipper surveyed the scene this isn't that type of damage a cursed wax figure would do,"No I don't think so Mabel damage doesn't fit the wax figurines m.o."he stated, he then eyed Sheriff Blubs and the officer they looked like they were having an argument or something.
Sheriff Blubs then took the officer by the arm forcibly to another side of the station,"Hmm"Dipper said narrowing his eyes,"Mabel follow me."Dipper told his sister as they made it out of the crowd without Stan and Soos noticing,"Seriously kid you made me stopped the car for a stupid crime sc-?"he didn't finish when he saw that his great niece and nephew,"Soos where're the kids?"he asked his employee. Dipper and Mabel quietly hid behind a bush fence in order to stay of sight.
"What are we doing?"Mabel asked,"Shush!"Dipper whispered putting his hand on her mouth, they then slowly and carfully peaked their heads from the bush to hear and see. They could hear the conversation between Sheriff Blubs and the officer,"Alright Troy listen we need to lock this now keep it contained ya hear me?"Sheriff Blubs told Officer Troy who nodded and it looked like he was breathing with fear wiping sweat from his forehead nervously.
"Oh man, people vanishing, getting sick for no reason, and going insane. This is getting really serious Sheriff."he said, Sheriff Blubs nodded in agreement when Troy continued,"Hey it's gotta be him right? It's gotta be the Sl-?"he was cut off when Sheriff Blubs grabbed his shirt forcibly pulling him to his face as the Sheriff whispered angrily,"HEY! Don't even say that...thing's name out loud!"he told him, the officer was scared and could also see the Sheriff was scared too.
Dipper's eyes widened with shock, do the police know about the Slender Man? But how? Dipper doesn't know how but something deep in his gut told him that this happened before,"Just keep it together. Look get these people outta here before the press gets this on the eleven o' clock news do it now."the Sheriff told him as the officer nodded in understanding. Blubs looked out at the wilderness and quietly said,"Hang on little buddy I'll find ya."he said in concern for Deputy Durland."Mabel did you hear that?"Dipper said looking at his sister.
"It was just a lady bug."Mabel said smiling, Dipper shook his head,"No! About what the Sheriff said, he said not to mention the Slender man's name out loud."he whispered, Mabel chuckled as she pointed at him,"Haha you just mentioned it out loud."she said playfully Dipper groaned,"That's not the point! I think these guys know something about the Slenderman."he whispered but before Mabel could say something they were startled when they felt two hands on their shoulders.
They looked up and breath with relief when they saw it was Soos,"What're you dude doin'?"he asked,"Uh nothing Soos we were playing hide n seek."Dipper said nervously causing Mabel to gasp in surprise,"We are?! Well I didn't start counting yet!"she exclaimed before Dipper shushed her,"Well it's wrong to play during a crime scene little dudes let's go."he said as they made it over to Grunkle Stan's car as the latter was waiting inside.
"Hey Dipper if Deputy Durland and the other officer are missing? Then who was the teen that's missing?"she asked her brother who just shrugged and said,"I don't know Mabel."he replied as they got in when Stan drove off,"Well whoever it was I hope they're alive."Soos said, Dipper sighed,"You and me both Soos."
As the crowd left the gas station leaving some officers and detectives Officer Troy went up up to the Sheriff and asked,"What about the people who're sick I mean?"he asked, Sheriff Blubs shook his head no,"No people think they're crazy so they might forget in time."he said hoping this doesn't come out. Officer Troy nodded sighing,"So pretty sure we're good."he said, Sheriff Blubs looked at him furiously,"Pretty sure? You better make DANG sure none of those people know anything or I'll send your butt all the way to that hospital with 'em!"he whispered angrily.
Troy gulped before nodding, after a while he asked,"What about that Thompson kid's mom?"he said about Thompson's mom. Sheriff Blubs sighed sadly, Thompson's mother was crying her eyes out and worried sick at the police station,"She's suffering I can tell ya that. I'm sending out squads to go in the forest tonight to look for Thompson, Stubs, and Durland."he stated. Troy then left before nodding, Sheriff Blubs took one last look at the forest and said,"I know you're out there. And this time we're gonna stop you...for good."he said walking away.
