'Now that I have his name, the obvious step would be to kill him, however, I need the names of everyone working in the investigation, first...I'll think of something.' "Hey Dipper," Ryuuku said, floating into the room. "I edited all of the tapes with your pre-recorded ones." Dipper pointed to the stache of apples on Mabel's bed. "Good," Dipper pulled his hat down.
