Later, when Dr. Flagg, who supports bringing in evidence of Bigfoot in the form of an actual specimen, dead or alive, arrives, someone in the audience named Buckley Johnson objects to his views.
There is a giant statue of Bigfoot in his yard, and he is being watched by a neighbor, Peter Nunn, who also owns a house from Bill Hickock's real estate and has set up video cameras and tape recorders.
Dylan goes over to Buck's house, enters from the back so "Peter Nunn" is not able to capture them on camera.
He wants to go on the expedition with them, but his dad says it's too dangerous, and they must leave now before they set up restricted access zones, and Dylan promises to stay with his friend Doug.
Dylan meets the expedition's tracker, Kurt Skipp, who is slow at walking but very quick with his hands.
When the expedition leaves, "Peter Nunn", who now calls himself Agent Crow, shows up at Dylan's house.
Buck takes Dylan to an old cabin, which smells horrible, and they open the windows even though it lets ash inside.
When they go to sleep, Dylan hears a piercing howl in the distance, and Buck insists it's a mountain lion.
He eventually gets back to the cabin, but there is a tremor and a hot pipe sags from the ceiling, and Buck warns Dylan not to touch it.
Pandora's Box was unlocked, and Dylan finds another staff in it, and uses it to turn a hole in the ground, which opens a trapdoor with an extremely long ladder.
Buck tells Dylan to go to the ravine and make giant Sasquatch footprints using a cast made from real ones, and to lead them away from the tunnel.
Agent Crow interferes on the radio, and talks about Buck, and Kurt Skipp soon arrives and discovers Dylan making the footprints, and sees a Bigfoot-like creature, and shoots at it.
After Agent Crow leaves, Dylan also finds a wooden staff from Buck to remember him by.
