...Mike trembled and wanted to cry. Acting on a tip that the swim team was involved, the H-12 boys used a freshmen swim roster along with a facebook to locate some suspects in Thayer. They donned wool hats, sunglasses, and baseball bats, setting out on an epic quest through the yard on a mission to locate their fridge. Busting though doors and into Thayer rooms that night, the H-12 boys acted out a twisted version of good cop/bad cop, adding the role of big-scary-Japanese-man-lurking-in-the-shadows (Schuyler), to their charade...
