On Saturday, September 24, the Shack Tabloid crew took a weekend vacation to Chile, for some relaxation and fun in the sun. Unfortunately, moments after exiting the plane, Erick was seen walking hand-in-hand with Hattie, otherwise known as TheMadHatter. Needless to say, the vacation was cut short, and the Shack Tabloid went into action, and we followed the two for three whole days!
On the first day, Erick and Hattie merely roamed up and down the beaches. Erick was constant giggling and talking about Moochi and their plans for global domination, while Kate randomly chased squirrels up trees. After ten straight hours of this, the tabloid crew gave up and went home for the night. Luckily, the next few days proved to be much more interesting.
On day two, Erick and Hattie split up. Tabloid Crew One went with Hattie, and Two went with Erick. Sadly, Hattie was lost within the hour. As it turns out, her squirrel-chasing was a ploy to disguise her astoundingly effective training. Erick, on the other hand, was kept in sight throughout the entire day. He went from lingerie store to love shop to automotive shop and back again. Each visit he picked up something new and mysterious. At the end of the day, he placed all of his purchased items in the back of a large eighteen-wheeler and then rendezvoused with Hattie at their hotel room.
The third day got tricky. Both Erick and Hattie seemed to be on to us, and attempted every trick in the book to shake the tabloid crew off of their trail. Two minutes later, they thought they had lost us. Keeping our distance, we watched using night vision and infrared sensors, while recording everything we could in anticipation of what happened next…
Erick and Hattie loaded the contents of the trailer they had filled onto a plane and disappeared into the sky. Our last visual of them led us to believe that they were heading back for the US of A. However, what actually happened down in Chile remains a mystery.
Anyone who has information on this matter is practically begged to spill the beans. We NEED to know what went on down there, and why they were there in the first place! Send your knowledge to us at
