Tyler squints at his teammate as he gathers the camera equipment from the car. The Pine Barrens stretch out before him like an endless reach of pine trees and sand. It’s an eerie enough space. If he stares at it long enough, he feels like he might get sucked into quicksand. But all too quickly, the vison fades and he snaps his attention back to Gary.
“I thought we were looking into the Jersey Devil.”
“Leeds Devil is more specific,” Gary replies, swinging a backpack of supplies over his shoulder. “As it appears in Leeds Point and the lore says it came from Leeds Family.”
“There’s lore now?”
Gary rolls his eyes. “Do you do any research at all when we head out on these jobs?”
“Of course not.” Tyler smirks at his friend, checking the viewfinder on the handheld video camera. “That’s what I have you for.” Gary rolls his eyes at him and Tyler continues. “Besides, the research never actually holds up to the actual appearance of the thing. Stories are unreliable. Always better to deal directly with the source.”
Gary huffs, shifting his backpack, his jaw set in a stubborn expression, before turning to head into the Pine Barrens and begin their adventure. Tyler follows close behind, opening the camera and taking some B-roll while he waits. He knows how this is going to go. Gary is going to commit to hanging him out to opt not to share his information. But Tyler knows that Gary is a know-it-all and can’t resist sharing information once he has it.
Three, two, one …
“So the story goes—”
“There it is.”
“I hate you.”
“I know.”
“The story goes that Mother Leeds had twelve children. When she found out she was pregnant with her thirteenth, she cursed the child while invoking the Devil, as thirteen is an unlucky number.”
“This sounds like a poor decision on her part.”
“The baby was born with the head of a goat, bat-like wings, and cloven hooves. Reports say it made an unholy sound before flying up the chimney and disappearing into the Pine Barrens.”
“Where it would become the spook of choice for New Jerseyans for centuries to come.”
“Basically.”
“So, is this one of the ones you think is real, or is this just one we’re following up on by popular viewer demand?”
“I’ve seen it.”
Tyler’s brow furrows, and he jogs ahead, keeping the camera framed on Gary as he does. “I’m sorry, repeat that again for the rest of the class?”
Gary sets his jaw again, and his shoulders slump. “I grew up in Leeds Point. I don’t have to believe the thing is real. I’ve seen it.”
“Way to bury the lead, dude.”
“I wasn’t sure how I wanted to talk about it yet.” Gary shrugs. “And I didn’t have any proof. So once we have proof, I’ll talk about it, okay?”
“Okay.” Tyler turns back to the rest of the trees and continues taking B-roll. “This is already the best trip ever.”
“You’re fucking incorrigible.”
