Episode Seven: Major Tom to Ground Control
Sammy: And thanks so much to Vernon from Vernon’s Vermin Vestibule for that thorough and intense interview. Ben:
And those slides he brought in. I didn’t need to see that. Sammy:
You and me both, Ben. So, changing gears here, we’re just gonna take a quick pause for the cause. We’ll be right back to take your calls, King Falls. Ben:
So much rhyming. Sammy:
424-279-3858. HFBIII:
Ladies and gentlemen, I am Howard Ford Beauregard III, and I implore you, dare I say demand that you turn off this radio station post haste. King Falls AM used to be a place that you could trust your ears to; wholesome, family-oriented, fair, and balanced. Now it’s ran by dirty lying filth mongerers spreading rumor and dissent throughout our peaceful community. Samuel Stevens and Benjamin Arnold should be proclaimed Public Enemy Number One. In all my years, all my family’s years in our idyllic town, I can’t recall anyone being allowed to disparage our good name so openly and freely until the fertile lands of distrust … Friends, please heed my advice, turn off this impurity. Let me save you from the mire and muck King Falls AM fills you with. Do yourself a favor. Go outside, breathe the fresh mountain air, go read a book. Perhaps an e-book, more so, the e-book King of King Falls by yours truly. Be well, compatriots! End this transmission, Celestia! Sammy:
You gotta be sh[bleep]ng me. Ben:I hate that guy but ads pay the bills, Sammy. Sammy:
We’re not gonna have bills without a show, Ben! Ben:
You don’t think this has anything to do with him coming in the studio a few weeks back, do you? Sammy:
Oh, of course not, whatever could have put that bee in his bonnet?
Ben:
I’m just saying maybe he hated us before we kicked him out of the studio and insinuated he was Lord Vampire. Sammy:
[sigh] Moving forward. Ben:
Board is lit up, Sammy, let’s take some calls. You’re live on King Falls AM Pete:
Samuel Stevens, Benjamin Arnold. Sammy:
Oh this is gonna be good, uh, you’re live. Pete:
You two heathens can kiss my ass and this listener goodbye. Treating Mr Beauregard like that! I will never listen to this filth again!
Ben:
Go watch channel 13 then! We don’t want you to listen! Sammy:
Ben, don’t take it personally. Obviously Beauregard is a... trusted personality in this town, and he’s gonna have some sway with people, but it’s funny we’ve not had one complaint in the two weeks since that crackpot was on the show. Ben:
Power of media man, bringing out all these sheeple. Sammy: Alright, line eight, welcome to King Falls – Pete: Beauregard’s right, this is filth! SAMMY Okay, sir, what exactly is the issue with this show? Pete:
You muckrakers! I don’t recall King Falls being so damn torn apart before you came into town, Sammy! Sammy:
I’m just doing my job, I was hired to fill this time slot with news and information that – Ben:
Who is this? Pete:
None of your damn business, Ben! Ben:
Pete Meyers? Come on, man! Pete:
Nooo. It’s not! Ben:
Yeah, it is. Would you like to explain to everyone why Beauregard’s gardener is calling in? Pete:
Don’t go working your voodoo on me, alright? I’m just stating my opinion. I’m never listening to 660 again. King of King Falls, buy the ebook! Sammy:
Folks we’re open minded here on 660, we listen to you and talk about the things that you care about. I’m sorry if a vocal minority that we’ve offended but – Ben:
Line four, you’re live with Sammy and Ben. Tim:
Is this King Falls AM? Sammy:
You’re live, sir. [feedback] Ben:
Whoa! Uh, the feedback! Uh turn off your radio, sir! Sammy:
Ah, you know, I hate to do this, but that feedback is just too much. Give us a call back and – Tim:
Don’t- don’t hang up, please, don’t hang up! Sammy: Who is this? Tim:
It’s Tim- Tim Jensen? Ben:
TIM! Where are you? Tim:
[feedback] Hello? Ben:
Tim can you hear us? You’re on with Sammy and Ben. Are you okay? Tim:
I’m alive. Please tell my wife that I – Ben:
You’re breaking up, Tim. Uh where, where are you? We’ll come to get you right now – Tim:
I’m okay, please don’t stop – Sammy:
Ben can you call – Ben:
Troy’s on hold. Tim:
They’re- they’re doing so many operations on me. Please help me. Sammy:
Tell us where you are, Tim. We’ll send help immediately. Ben: TIM! Tim: I love my wife, Mary. I miss my kids… King Falls, please help me! [static] Sammy: Tim! Tim, can you hear us? [dial tone] Ben:
He’s gone. Deputy Troy, you’re live. Troy:
I heard him, fellas. Without a shadow of a doubt, that was Tim. Sammy:
You know I don’t know what to make of it, Troy, is there anything you can do? Troy:
Ben texted me all the info he had on the call but. It ain’t making any sense. Has he called since you know, the uh, the disappearance? Sammy:
Not to us. I- you know I just couldn’t make out a lot of what he was saying. Ben:
Lot of interference from something, or… someone. Sammy:
He said Mary, right? Ben:
You think we should? Sammy:
Oh God, no. God. We wouldn’t wanna put that poor lady on the spot with something like this. I mean she’s been through so much already – I mean, that could have been anyone, right? Ben:
That was Tim, Sammy. Troy:
I wish there were something more we could do, boys, but I don’t even know where to start. I was just listening to the show in Rose’s Diner and… I couldn’t believe it. Dollars to donuts that dispatch is gonna be lighting up tonight, boys. I’m gonna go finish my French cruller and make the rounds. I’ll catch you later, boys. [dial tone] Sammy:
Line one, you’re on King Falls AM. Cynthia:
Sammy? Ben? Ben:
You got us, ma'am. Cynthia:
Was that just Tim Jensen on the air? Ben:
We… we believe it was. We- we don’t wanna cause an uproar here
Sammy:
Per usual. Ben:
But we have every reason to believe so. Uh do, do you have any information about Tim? Cynthia:
I do not. I was calling to voice my concerns about him coming back from God knows where. Ben:
Is this Cynthia Higgenbaum? Cynthia:
It’s Mrs. Higgenbaum to you, Ben, and thanks for broadcasting my info all over the tri-state. Sammy:
Cynthia, you say you have some concerns about Tim being found? Why? Cynthia:
Concerns would be putting it mildly. Sammy:
Okay he’s a missing man, Cynthia. He’s been officially gone without a trace for over three months! Cynthia:
Oh don’t give me that official line of horse hockey! We all know good and well he got picked up by the lights off 72. Sammy:
With all due respect – Ben:
He was abducted, Sammy. You know it, I know it, Cynthia knows it. The X Files, this ain’t. They got him. Sammy:
Okay, let’s just hold it together folks Ben:
But for goodness sake, Cynthia, why in the world would you have an issue if we finally found him? Sammy:
You know, I’m just happy to hear that he’s alive. We all should be. Cynthia:
Yeah, yeah he’s alive, hooray and such. But I’m gonna level with you boys. Sammy:
Uh-huh. Cynthia:
I don’t want Tim coming back into this community after gallivanting around the galaxy for three damn months with aliens or what-have-you. Who knows what kind of diseases he’s bringing back? Sammy:
Oh stop it! Cynthia: Martian measles, Pluto pox, who can say? I don’t want my kids around that. Does Obamacare even cover Jupiter jaundice? Doubtful!
Ben: Cynthia, I think bringing Tim home safe and sound is of the utmost importance. Cynthia: You gonna pay my doctor bills? I didn’t think so. Sammy: Cynthia, we are talking about a man. Cynthia:
We are talking about some weird sh[bleep]t Tim is bringing back, by golly. I know Tim. I worked with Tim for a few years, and he’s a nice enough guy. But he’s not nice enough to let his Ground Control to Major Tom ass quarantine my babies at Area 51. Priorities! Ben:
Sammy, Mary Jensen is on line five. Sammy:
I’m sorry, Cynthia, we have to take this. Cynthia:
Oh, good. I’m gonna go check my shelter and inventory my air filters. I suggest doing the same. [Dial tone] Ben: Mary Jensen. Sammy: Hi Mary, this is Sammy and Ben at King Falls AM. Mary: Hi Sammy. Hi Ben. Ben: Mary have you… have you been listening to the broadcast tonight? Mary: I was. That’s why I called. Since Tim’s been gone I-I don’t know which way is up. My sleep has been turned around, the kids… Ben:
I’m sorry, Mary. Mary: I wanna thank you two, Sammy and Ben, for all you’ve done during this ordeal. Sammy: We don’t have to get into that. Mary:
No I think we do. I know that there are people that think that you two shouldn’t be on the air, but since Tim has been gone, you guys at the station have checked on my and the kids at least once a week. You’ve made donations. Ben even took the kids to the library last week so I could have time to myself! Sammy:
You’re a sweetheart, Ben, and to the library no less! Ben: Don’t. Mary: I know you want Tim back in my arms almost as much as I do. Sammy:
Mary, I wish we had more to tell you but you heard exactly what we did. Mary:
I just thank God, whomever is up there, that he’s still alive. He sounded okay right? Didn’t he sound okay? Sammy:
He didn’t sound hurt. Ben:
We appreciate the kind words, but that can’t be what you called for. Mary:
It wasn’t the only reason but um, make no mistake about this: The Jensens stand with you two no matter what. Sammy:
Thank you, Mary. I mean it’s obvious that Tim has reached out to us for a reason. You’ve told us in the past that he absolutely loved listening to Chet’s Jazz Corner and loved King Falls AM in general. Let’s hope he’s listening to you now, Mary. What would you like Tim to know? Mary:
[sniffle]That, um, we’re okay, Tim. Please don’t worry about us. [sniffle] And I- I know he will anyway but, we are okay. We are safe. We are home, but [sniffle] home isn’t home without you. I love you, Tim. [sniffle] I know without a doubt that one day you’ll be back with us. I can’t wait for that day, but I will wait. Please be okay. Please be safe. [sniffle] Sammy:
Our thoughts are with you, Mary, and Tim. Mary:
My- my little one is up. Can she say something, Sammy? Sammy:
Please, of course, by all means. Mary:
Come on, sweetie, Daddy’s listening. Bella:
Daddy? Mary:
He called Mr. Ben and Mr. Sammy tonight. Bella: Daddy! Sammy: He’s listening right now, tell him whatever you’d like. Bella: I love you. Please come home, I don’t want Mommy to cry anymore. Mary: Thank you Sammy, Ben, King Falls. Sammy: If you need anything, you just let us know. Mary:
Yeah, of course. Sorry, bye. Sammy: Tim, if you’re listening, godspeed. Ben: Sorry to interrupt, Sammy, line twelve. Sammy: Good evening, you’re live on King Falls AM. Riley: Please hold the line for Mayor Grisham. Sammy:
Hey, I wanna talk to you! I have got a bone to pick with you! Hello? Riley:
Mayor, you’re on with Sammy and Ben.
Grisham:
Boys, boys, come on. Are we live? Sammy: Mayor Grisham, you have five seconds before this call self destructs. Grisham:
It’s my understanding that Tim Jensen just reached out to you guys. Ben: Five, four, three, two Grisham: I come in peace, guys. I’m sure you two will get everything you can regarding the call to Sheriff Gundersen’s office. I just want to say thank you for being there for Tim still in his time of need. Sammy: You have my curiosity, Mayor. Ben:
Sammy, my horsesh[bleep]t radar’s off the charts right now. It’s, it’s hitting Seabiscuit levels. Sammy: Did you just bleep yourself? Ben: Yeah, I mean, come on, man. You want fines on top of trouble, too? Grisham: I’ll be as friendly as a penpal, gents. I just wanted to speak to King Falls. That is, if you two will allow me. Ben: Horsesh[bleep]t radar is still solidly at circus pony. I- I don’t know if this is a good idea. Sammy: You know, you’re ridiculous. And generally I would agree, Ben, but this is for Tim. The floor is reluctantly all yours, Mayor. Grisham:
[clears throat] Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen of King Falls and everyone listening to this broadcast, I just want to let you know we are doing all we can to bring Tim back home, safe and sound. We are working day and night to make sure his lovely daughter and his wife get to hug their father and husband again. I want to reiterate that if you have any information about Tim, his disappearance, or subsequently his call tonight for help, please do not take matters into your own hands. Please call the hotline set up at– [theme]
Episode Two: That Book is Overdue, President Lincoln.
Grisham: Stay vigilant, but most importantly, stay hopeful. And Tim, wherever you may be, just know that your friends, family, and everyone in King Falls is looking forward to your eventual and safe return.
[KFAM music]
Sammy: Good evening, I’m Sammy Stevens and you’re listening to 660 on the AM dial. Welcome to King Falls AM. I’m here with Ben Arnold.
Ben: Again?
S: Yes, again, Ben! My producer slash co-host, emphasis on co-host. That voice we just heard from was mayor Grisham, of course, speaking out about the recent disappearance of Tim Jensen.
B: If you or anyone you know has any information about Tim’s disappearance, we urge you to reach out to the King Falls sheriff department.
S: Now, on a lighter note, we’ve got a big show tonight folks. We’ve got an interview with Emily Potter, who’ll be telling us all about the grand reopening of the King Falls library in just a few short days.
B: Plus a call from Dr. Raul, later in the hour.
S: I can hear the excitement in your voice Ben. You’ve got your gunning for network news underoos on today.
B: Any network but channel 13, Sammy. They can suck it.
S: Now, before we bring in the lovely Miss Potter, we’re going to-
B: Is she lovely?
S: Well, I mean, I haven’t met her, but I assume she’s a lovely person, small town librarian and all.
B: Lovely...personality? Gotcha.
S: It counts.
B: That’s what they say.
S: So, okay, before we bring in Miss Potter-
B: Couldn’t help but notice you didn’t use any adjectives that time.
S: Ben, is there something on your mind?
B: Not at all! It’s just that, our old librarian, Mrs. Kilpatrick, was not what you’d call a lovely...anything. Lady got her scholarship in war torn nazi Germany, so I’m a bit apprehensive to call anyone running the town book shack lovely. Can I just say, for the record, that Mrs. Kilpatrick used to place the learn to draw books in the reference section. If anything, they’re self help books, and if a kid wants to check one out, learn how to draw droopy the damn dog, then maybe they should let him.
S: *chuckles* You’re not wrong, Ben, but maybe-
B: I haven’t told this to anyone, ever, but when I was a kid, I was walking down the aisles, and I saw that old whisper nazi put Mein Kampf in the children’s section, and she-
S: Maybe we can ask Miss Potter her opinions on the King Falls Hitler youth, as well as opening up the phone lines to you dear listeners, right after this commercial break.
Ernie: Hey, I'm Ernie. Maybe your car, your truck, ain’t running so good. Maybe youse thinking you need a new one. I’m here to tell youse that it ain’t always the case. Maybe all you need is bring your car your truck down to Ernie’s mufflers. Maybe ask yourself, Ernie, whatever do you mean? What I mean is, bring your car down to Ernie’s mufflers. We’ll have a trained and/or certified technician check out all your whosies, your whatsies, and maybe get you and your car, your truck feeling good again.
Announcer: Ernie’s mufflers, come on down and ask about our King Falls AM discount.
S: Welcome back, folks, and thanks for tuning in to King Falls AM, sitting in the studio with us is, can I say lovely now Ben?
B: Stunning.
S: Is the lovely Miss Emily Potter. She’s here to talk more about the town’s library grand reopening later this week, is that correct?
E: It is, and thank you for having me on Sammy, and Ben, I’ve been listening to you every night.
B: Beautiful.
S: Well, we certainly appreciate it. Now, if you don’t mind, catch me up to speed on why our fair town’s library was closed in the first place.
B: Gorgeous.
S: Ben.
B: Hey, Sammy.
E: Well, the library was closed due to renovation. It’s an older building and-
B: Built by Francois Swindle, 1912, largest brick and mortar structure in King Falls until 1918, when city hall was built.
E: Oh my gosh you are exactly right Ben. So smart.
S: You know, I’ve driven past, it is a magnificent building. So they’re just replacing some older fixtures and what have you?
E: Oh no, the top floor of the library was set on fire.
S: I’m sorry, purposely? Who tires to burn down a library?
E: Unfortunately, that mystery is yet to be solved, but not for lack of trying. Sheriff Gunderson and Deputy Troy have been hard at work these past few months. Though, I think the bigger problems was the disappearance of Mrs. Kilpatrick.
S: Wait a second, the library was set ablaze, the old librarian, Mrs. Kilpatrick-
B: God rest her soul.
S: -has disappeared. What is going on here? I mean, are there any leads, uh, you know, other than Ben?
B: Ha! Good one Sammy! *forced laughter* What a kidder! I’m not, I'm not sure why you’d say that at this time.
S: Two words. Book. Shack. Uh but I mean seriously folks, how many people are missing in this town?
B: *clears throat* Emily. Can I call you Emily?
E: Please do.
B: Can, can you tell the listeners anything that might help shed some light on these subjects?
E: Well, for weeks leading up to the fire, Mrs. Kilpatrick had been having...visions.
S: Visions?
E: Yes. To the point where upper management had been talking about retirement. I don’t know if we should be talking about this with the investigation ongoing and all…
S: I think-
B: Maybe it could help, Emily. Your words, your magnificent words, could be our best, last, chance at saving dear Mrs. Kilpatrick.
E: You’re right Benny.
S: Um.
E: The visions she was by the checkout desk. At first it was a shadowy figure carrying a book. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was actually President Lincoln, who she believed was trying to check out a book.
S: President Abraham Lincoln?
B: 16th President of the United States. Jeez Sammy, catch up will you?
E: This went on every night at closing for close to a week, until the second vision appeared.
B: Go on.
E: She watched from the second floor as President Lincoln brought the book to the front desk.
S: Just by chance, what book does a deceased president of the United States try to check out?
B: “Twelve Years a Slave”, duh.
S: Alright, too easy Ben, how about uh, “How To Lose Friends and Alienate People.”
E: I don’t th-
B: I like it, but I think Lincoln is probably more of a “Who Moved My Cheese” type.
E: Privacy and all, I...I couldn’t say even if I wanted to.
B: Yeah Sammy, privacy and all.
S: I uh, of course, library patient privilege, gotcha, so please continue Miss Potter.
E: So, she watched from afar, quietly putting away the periodicals, then she felt a wind rush past her to the ledge. That’s when she saw….
S: What’d she see?
E: A vision of John Wilkes Boothe. Peering over the ledge, watching the president as he waited for a librarian that never came.
B: Fascinating.
S: Okay.
B: Oh, here comes Mr. Skeptic. He didn’t believe in General Abilene. Lemme guess, Sammy, you don’t believe in president of the United States either? The great emancipator.
S: Oh Ben will you stop it, I'm just wary that a ghost of-
E&B: Vision.
S: Right, that a vision of President Lincoln and his assassin would be wandering the halls of King Falls public library, that’s all.
E: I understand your reticence to believe in the visions, Sammy, I thought the same thing. But, as I'm sure Ben can attest, Mrs. Kilpatrick wasn’t one to-
B: If she said she saw it, she saw it.
S: So, she has visions, what does that have to do with the fire?
E: Well, Mrs. Kilpatrick actually in a small apartment in the library.
S: In the library? Uh, that might be creepier than the visions
E: She complained to management about the noises, the visits, apparently there were arguments?
S: Arguments? Between Lincoln and Boothe?
B: So they were keeping old lady Kilpatrick awake at night?
S: And, you know, then Kilpatrick gets fed up, there’s no Peter Venkman to call, she does what she can do and sets the place on fire?
E: Well, I don’t know if Mrs. Kilpatrick would’ve done that.
B: All due respect, oh she would have.
S: I think it’s cut and dry actually, you know, maybe we should call Deputy Troy and solve this cold case?
B: Well, what do you think happened Emily?
E: I have to assume that Boothe did what he could to get to the president again. Unofficially, of course. Uh. God, we shouldn’t even talk about this with the investigation and all.
S: Alrighty, well, that said, we’re gonna open up the phone lines now. We’re talking about the library opening back up later this week, after some difficulties. Maybe you’ve got a question for Emily?
B: Maybe you’ve seen the visions in the library as well, we’d love to hear about that. S: Or that too. You’ve heard our story, now let's hear yours. 424-279-3858.
B: Or tweet us @kingfallsam. Line 12, uh, wouldn’t give a name
S: You’re on King Falls AM.
F?: Yeah uh, I’ve got a question for Emily.
E: Hi!
Frickard: Lets say that...my friend checked out a book last year and due to the fire and the closing wasn’t able to return it on time. Are overdue charges being forgiven?
E: If you couldn’t return it due to our renovation then I'm sure we can overlook it.
F: Cool.
S: Thanks for the question.
F: Wait, uh, I’ve got another question for Emily.
E: Oh! Okay…
F: Are you seeing anybo-*hang up*
B: Next caller! Uh...we’ve got line 4, Cynthia
S: Hello Cynthia, you’re on the air.
Cynthia: From what I gathered, in this interview, as well as the news report that Channel 13 ran-
B: *scoffs* You shouldn’t listen to them, Cynthia
C: Excuse me Ben, excuse me.
S: Cynthia.
C: From what I'm gathering, the library, if you wanna call it that, is a despot of desolation. Arson? Check! Fifty Shades of Gray? Check! Presidential assassins? Check!
E: Cynthia, I believe-
C: What are you, twelve, and you’re running the show? Could we at least get an adult to watch over that den of depravity.
S: Cynthia, I think we could probably argue that the worst of the library’s problems are behind it.
B: This is a new chapter in its history. Did you see what I did there Emily?
E: *laughing* You’re so funny!
C: Oh my god, hose those two down Sammy, it’s unbearable!
S: Cynthia, did you have a question regarding the library?
C: Yes. My boys are 10 and 6. Does the revamped library have a kids corner?
E: It most certainly does.
C: Are you overseeing it?
E: Yes, I am.
C: Ugh. *hang up noise*
B: We’ve got line 8, Sammy
S: King Falls AM.
?: Hey King Falls, long time listener, first time caller.
B: Long time?
S: Uh, the station appreciates the patronage.
?: I don’t listen to the station really. I listen to you. *hang up noise*
E: Ooh.
S: Okay…
B: Yikes. Uhh. Try 14 Sammy.
S: Good evening, welcome to the show.
Old Lady: I saw the president.
B: Oh! Another sighting.
S: Ma’am, are we talking about President Lincoln in the King Falls library or President Obama on Fox News type of thing?
OL: Lincoln!
B: Oooooh!
E: Mrs. Kilpatrick?
Mrs K: I saw him! *hang up noise*
S: Well terrific, I mean I didn’t need to sleep tonight anyways, it’s fine.
B: Uhh...one more before commercial, we’ve got Greg line one.
S: Greg, do you have a question for us?
Frickard: Yes, this question is for Emily. If a man, such as...my friend, wanted to court you, would you be avail- *hang up noise*
B: Pay some bills Sammy.
S: Emily, thank you so much for being here with us tonight, enlightening us with the tales of the library.
E: Oh, it was my pleasure. I just want all the listeners to know that, while we can’t wish the visions away, they more than likely will stay away from us in crowds. So please come join me in the reopening ceremonies this Thursday at 10am.
B: I will be there.
E: You’re a sweetheart, Benny. Thanks for having me on guys! *sounds of her leaving*
B: Any time, Emily.
S: She’s gone, Benny.
B: Ben.
S: Oh, so only Emily can call you Benny?
B: She, she didn’t call me Benny. You’re ridiculous.
S: Oh yeah, that’s me. Look, I get it. She’s a very attractive girl, and you guys hit it off.
B: We did, didn’t we?
S: But really, she called you Benny.
B: Don’t.
S: That’s the Ben we know and love folks.
B: Yeah, yeah.
S: Alright. Now after this quick message from our sponsors we’re gonna be back, and we’re going to be talking with Dr. Raul from the King Falls Chiropractic Center, and getting daily tips to keep our backs on the straight and narrow. And I'm sure Ben will be just as flirtatious with the good doctor.
B: Is he lovely too?
