Booth and Aubrey met Caroline Julian in her office to give her some information about their case.
Aubrey handed her a file. "The Blue Whale Crusaders. Ecoterrorism is their specialty. They fight to keep those kitschy landmarks open along highways like Route 66."
Caroline looked at him like he was crazy. "A new part of the lunatic fringe? Why would anyone want to fight to keep those things?"
Booth cleared his throat. "I asked the same question, but you know that logic doesn't usually play a part in a terrorist group's focus. It's mainly a group of senior citizens that try to keep developers from removing landmarks. They're named after a place in Oklahoma, but they've been busy all up and down Route 66. Interstate ecoterrorism...that's why the FBI is involved." He nodded for Aubrey to continue.
"So far they haven't resorted to anything really violent", added Aubrey, "but the internet and twitter chatter is that they are planning a kidnap plot...maybe someone who works for a company that's involved in removing a landmark."
Ms. Julian was not amused. "Cherie, I'm not sure why you're wasting my time on this if there isn't a crime yet. I'm busy trying to get caught up from being out with my hip replacement. That Ms. Lundborg made a mess of things while I was gone. I don't have time for a bunch of crazy old folks trying to save a blue whale or the world's biggest ball of yarn. You got anything else for me? Because, if not, good-bye…."
"Well", Booth began, stammering a bit. "There is one more thing. Did you check today's date?"
Ms. Julian narrowed her eyes, glaring at him. "No. Why?"
Booth and Aubrey shouted, "APRIL FOOL'S" as they sprinted out the office door laughing.
