After Wren left, Lindsay was hoping that things would be uneventful, but no such luck. Cat walked into her office with a printout of the dispatch records for the previous two shifts.

“Jeff needs to be fired now. I will work a double tomorrow. But he will not be back in this office if I have anything to say about it,” Cat said as she handed Lindsay the papers.

Lindsay took the papers and began to look at them. The calls the officers had been dispatched to were typical for the area, including str

    Lindsay went to her office and opened her door just enough to squeeze in so Annie could keep as much privacy as possible. Annie looked up at Lindsay. Her face was streaked red from tears. Viktor was holding her hand while John and Cat treated her leg. “How is she doing?” Lindsay asked. “Lindsay dear, she will be fine. We finally have her leg warming up, and she is not hurting as much. Everything points to her being perfectly normal in the next thirty minutes or less,” John answered. “That is wonderful news,” Lindsay said, smiling. “I can use some of that right now.” “What happened?” Cat asked, looking up at the ceiling and letting out a sigh. “Rich no longer works here. He was never sick and didn’t see a problem with no one working his shift,” Lindsay answered. “Max is going to cover until I can hire someone else. I’m just checking, but Cat, Viktor, you two don’t happen to have another brother, do you?” “No, but we do have a sister who might be interested,” Cat answered without

    “Darn right, I did. Jenny raised a house full of boys and puts up with me. If she says she wants to go see a movie, I take her to the movies, and I don’t even ask what it is that she wants to watch,” Big Bob said, smiling. “We now have proof that you are smarter than you look,” Little Bob laughed. “Of course, that doesn’t take too much, does it?” Lindsay rolled her eyes and said, “As much fun as it is to pick on Big Bob, we need to get back to the topic at hand, and that is Rich not showing up for work. I also want to know how your hand is, Cat.” Cat, who was sitting at her desk, placed both hands in front of her and began to look at them. She looked at her palms and the backs of her hands, making fists a few times before she answered. “My hand is fine now. It’s still a little cold, but that’s all. The circulation seems to be good, and I have normal sensation in it again,” Cat answered. “Do you mind if I check on Annie and help John if he needs it?” “No, go ahead, Cat. They could

    “Hello?” John Lingerfelt answered his phone sleepily.“John, please don’t hang up. I need your help,” Lindsay said quickly.“I told you that I could not help you, my dear,” John told her curtly.“It’s not about the surveillance. Do you remember the pictures that I showed you in my office?”“I do.”“One of my deputies and one of my dispatchers just had a run-in with that thing that I called a ghost. It looks like they have frostbite. Is that even possible?” Lindsay asked.“Quite possible. Where are they now?” John asked, concerned.“We are all where it happened, but I will be taking them back to the department as soon as the deputy who is on duty gets here,” Lindsay told him.“OK, I will get to your department as soon as I can. I will bring what we will need to treat them,” John said.“Thank you, John. You have no idea how much I appreciate this,” Lindsay said as she saw her deputy pull up behind her and turn on the patrol car’s light bar.“You are welcome, Lindsay. I will see you soon

    Lindsay arrived at the scene to find what felt like half of her department. Before getting out of her car, she saw Andy, Cat, Viktor, and Annie near Viktor’s personal vehicle. As soon as she stopped her patrol car, Cat began walking toward her with a puzzled look on her face. “What are you doing here?” Cat asked before Lindsay was even entirely out of her car. “What would make you think that I would not be here? You called the department, and they called me. So explain what happened. Cameron was not very clear on things,” Lindsay said. “It’s a little hard to explain. We had all been out to eat and were heading back to town. Viktor was driving, and Annie was next to him. Andy and I were in the back seat with Andy behind Viktor, and I was behind Annie,” Cat began. “We came around a corner, and out of nowhere, this shape began to appear in front of the car. It was almost like a mist of some kind. Viktor tried to miss it, but it passed through the car next to Annie and me on our right

    Sheriff Lindsay Gold had spent the day hiking with her son, Dillon, on their property. She wanted to show him that although strange things had happened where they lived, nothing was there now. She had hoped she would be so tired after spending the day in the woods that she would sleep through the night for the first time in a very long time, but it hadn’t worked. She was now sitting on her front porch. It was a beautiful, clear, unusually warm night. It was still technically winter and nearly sixty degrees at almost midnight. She had slept for a couple of hours before being awakened by another nightmare, and was unable to go back to sleep. She wished that her husband, Wren, were there with her, not that he could fix what was wrong, but he always made her feel better just by being there. She was looking up at the stars and letting her mind wander when her cell phone rang. She looked at it and saw that it was the sheriff’s department. The only time her department would call her that

    Agent Wren Gold was sitting in his car in the dark. It was after midnight, and he hoped he would get some answers from what he was about to do. He watched as a man walked out of the building across from where he was parked and immediately began moving. He pulled his car in front of the man and rolled down the passenger window. “Get in the car,” Wren told him flatly. “I am not getting in your car,” the man laughed. “You can either get in the car on your own, or I will put you in the car. I can assure you that it will be much more pleasant for you to get in on your own,” Wren said as he leaned over and opened the door. “I know who you are, Agent Gold,” the man said as he got in. “Good for you. I hope, for your sake, you can give me the information I need,” Wren said as he started to drive away from the building. “I don’t know what you want from me. I don’t know anything,” the man said nervously. “You and I both know that is a lie.” “I don’t know anything about what you want to k

    “How did that call to Ms. Johnson’s house go last night? I heard it was you and Andy. Why were you with Andy, anyway?” Little Bob fired off without pausing in his work.“How did you know about that call?” Lindsay asked.“I could tell you that it's because I take my job seriously and keep informed a

    Lindsay had started her second day at the department early. She had begun by reviewing all the reports required to be sent to the state every month. As soon as Lindsay started, she realized that the sheriff’s department was behind by several months. She even found a letter from the state informing

    As soon as they got in the car, Andy started it, and Lindsay called the sheriff’s department to let them know they were leaving the area. She asked them to call the phone company for Rita and ensure they knew it was an emergency, and to please repair her phone as soon as possible. That was more tha

    Lindsay’s heart was racing. She had not realized how completely terrified she was. She was thinking about that last call and, at the same time, trying to push it out of her head so she could focus on this one. She still had times when things would flood back about that night and almost overwhelm he
