Eh? You serious? Maybe if I were Doc I might feel a bit more
trepidation about approaching Wolfmann, 'specially after I'd got the
lowdown on him from Aunt Reet. But I would still at least be very
curious about the guy, I don't think I could resist just 'happening
by' wherever he was likely to be, just to get a look at him.

Yeah. But to what extent can he trust Penny? Her and Shasta are both
potential candidates for the role of femme fatale. We can't be too
sure about Mickey, or Bigfoot. When it comes down to it, quite a few
of the principal characters are very much in the grey zone, aren't
they?
