01E07 - The Scoutmaster

The next case on which Allen and Quinn are supposed to work will be minus Quinn as he has been placed on another short term assignment, the nature of which he does not reveal to Allen. What Quinn has been tasked to do, on Harding's directive, is to follow Rizzuto, who they feel is of greater use to them out than he would be in military custody. Quinn further learns that he has a specific task to find what Rizzuto purportedly stole from Wake Forest. The UFO case takes Allen to Bowling Green, Ohio, where a scout troop was out in the woods on an overnight camp, when they spotted moving lights in the sky. The scoutmaster, Emmett, went to investigate, the last the troop seeing or hearing of him being his yells for them to run, Emmett who is still missing. While doing his job in providing a scientific explanation for what happened however improbable it may seem in his own head, Allen is pointed in the direction of what had only been known in these parts as an old Choctaw Indian legend, which leads to Allen speaking to David, a Choctaw who may be able to provide further detail on the legend. When Emmett does emerge with a few visible scars but otherwise all right physically telling of the alien he encountered and the subsequent proof he has to that alien he purportedly killed, Allen has to piece together that evidence against what he learns from David. The missing piece to the puzzle may be provided by Brian, one of the older boys in the troop.
