Lindsay drove home and found that her husband was, once again, cooking dinner for their family. She was so happy to have him in her life.

“Hi, baby,” Wren greeted her in the kitchen. “I am making you one of your favorites, chicken-fried steak with gravy and hash browns.” He walked over, put his arms around her waist, and kissed her. “How was your day after I left?”

She buried her face in his chest. “Aaahhh! Horrible! We are lucky that no one died last night because of our former dispatcher.”

    “What do you mean they aren’t real?” Max asked. “Names, addresses, contact information, everything she had was fake. It was done well, very well, but none of it was real,” Wren told him. “Lindsay does not know that, and I hope she doesn’t find out.” Little Bob warned Wren, “You are playing with fire by not telling her. We all know she’ll find out.” “I know she will, but she can’t find out about things right now. Not until I have more information and can give her some answers,” Wren told him. “Do some of those things include your not-so-savory past? I have noticed that your hands look like you have been beating answers out of people,” Max said to Wren. “There are a lot of things I have not told her. Some of what I have done in the past is part of it. I didn’t think I could tell Lindsay and keep her safe,” Wren told him. “She knows that you do things that you should not. She told me today that you have a different set of rules and to stay out of it,” Little Bob told him. “Whatever

    “Come on in,” Max said when he opened the door for Wren. “What is this big emergency? You are cutting into my before-work nap.” “I want to explain things once so you can wait until everyone gets here,” Wren said as he dropped onto Max’s couch. “Sure, I mean, it’s only my house, so why should I know why you want everyone to meet here and who everyone includes?” Max said, dripping with sarcasm. He became serious and asked, “I can tell from the look on your face that this is bad, isn’t it?” “It could be. I don’t know for sure.” “Just the fact that you don’t know is bad.” “Yes, it is. Both Bobs should be here any minute. All three of you need to know what is going on because you may get dragged into this just because you work for her and know me.” “I’m taking a guess here and saying that you mean our magnificent sheriff, Lindsay Gold,” Max said. He saw two patrol cars pull into his driveway and walked over to the door, opening it before the Bobs reached it. “Come on in, gentlemen,

    Little Bob put his phone back in his pocket. He looked up at the clear blue sky. The blue made him think of water, which made him think of fishing, and that made him smile. He knew what he needed to do. Go fishing, but right now, he had other things to do. He walked back in and sat down at his desk. “Got your phone calls taken care of?” Cat asked him with a smile. “Yes, ma’am, I did,” Little Bob answered. Just then, his cell phone rang in his pocket. He pulled it out and answered it, “Hello.” “Change of plans. I will come in and talk to Lindsay, but then I want to meet you at Max’s house at five,” Wren said. “Sure, no problem,” Little Bob answered. “Don’t say anything to anyone, especially Lindsay,” Wren said. “OK.” “I’ll be there in a little while,” Wren said, then hung up. Little Bob put his phone back in his pocket. He looked over at Viktor, who was staring at him. He turned and saw that Cat was doing the same thing. “What is wrong with you two?” Little Bob asked. They d

    Little Bob watched Lindsay walk into her office and slam the door. He saw something fly across her office and hit one of the windows before she began closing the blinds in her office. “Did the sheriff throw something, or was that our friend, Pete?” Viktor asked him quietly. “I don’t know. I do not want to go in there, but I need to find out if it was the poltergeist. Wish me luck,” Little Bob said to Viktor. Little Bob stood up and let out a sigh before he walked to Lindsay’s office. He knocked lightly on Lindsay’s door. “Go away, Bob,” Lindsay called out. “I’m not going to do that, and you know it,” he said as he stepped in and closed the door. “Is there anything I can do?” he asked, looking around Lindsay’s office and seeing several stress balls on the floor. “No, Bob, there isn’t,” Lindsay answered. “Does this have anything to do with work?” he asked her. “Not that I know of, but I can’t get a straight answer from anyone, so it might have something to do with work in the fu

    Lindsay turned onto Oak Drive and was driving to her meeting with John Lingerfelt. The entire way there, she had been thinking about what he had said about not letting Wren be at the meeting. Wren had been adamant that she not go to it, but whether they liked it or not, meeting with John fell under one of her responsibilities as sheriff. If someone in the county wanted to meet with her and she could, she did. As Lindsay turned into the entrance of the river access, she saw John standing near the water. When she exited her car, she looked around, wondering who was watching them and where they were. “Lindsay, I am glad you came,” John said as she approached him. “I told you that I would. So what is so important, and why do we have to meet out here?” Lindsay asked him. “I thought that since it was a lovely day, meeting here at the river might be a nice change and give you a chance to get out of your office for a while,” John told her. “I don’t believe that. You have a reason for aski

    Wren returned to Lindsay’s car, and they watched Little Bob leave. They sat for a couple of minutes as Wren’s team moved the creature, placed it in a cage, and then loaded it into one of the trucks. While they waited for Wren’s team to finish, Lindsay’s cell phone rang. She pulled it out of her pocket and looked at it, but did not recognize the number. “Hello,” Lindsay said, answering it. “My dear, are you where you can speak?” John Lingerfelt asked her. “I am on a call with Wren right now. We are in my car. Is everything alright?” she asked, looking at Wren, wondering if he could hear what John was saying. “If you tell him about this call, that is fine. I would like to meet you. Would you be able to meet me tomorrow?” John asked her. “I think so,” she answered carefully. “I cannot come to your department, and you must not come to my home. Can you meet me at the river access on Oak Drive at noon? I think it will be safer for us there. Do not bring Wren. I need to speak with you

    Lindsay dropped her phone back in her pocket and put her hand on her gun. She wondered if her handgun would even phase it, but she did not want to lose sight of it to get anything else. Lindsay hoped that if her house stayed quiet, she would not need to find out. She heard footsteps coming down the

    Lindsay had not slept well, which was nothing new. She had been feeling uncomfortable since midnight. She had been awakened by a strange sound outside and, since then, could not shake the feeling of being watched. She had, however, been able to sleep on and off for a couple of more hours, for which

    “Why do men think that just because we are women, we can’t do anything and that what we do do won’t be as good as what they would do?” She asked as she started the car and turned around. “Does that ever change? Like, when I have ten or twenty years of experience, will they stop treating me like tha

    As they pulled toward the house, they could see an older man standing in front of the barn and waving to them. He had a look on his face of a man who had seen something he could not explain. “That would be the gentleman we need to speak to first. This is your call, Annie, so you get to run with it
