“Actually, there is something that you can do for me. If you get time tonight, will you look through some of the files in these boxes and see if you can find anything that is described as red balls of light? Max and I encountered those this morning, and they were new to everyone.” Lindsay paused before she continued. “Also, if you have any questions about anything with this department or working in law enforcement, will you please ask someone? If it is something that you are embarrassed to ask one of the other deputies, you are always welcome to ask me. You will never get in trouble for asking a question,” Lindsay told her. Annie just smiled broadly and began nodding her head. Lindsay walked back to her office door and opened it. Annie bounced out and headed straight for Viktor. Lindsay smiled as she opened the blinds she had closed earlier. Viktor and Annie were complete opposites. Annie was tiny and barely came to his chest. Viktor was well over six feet and a bodybuilder. She watc

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. I am just here for backup and to yell at the poltergeist if I need to,” Lindsay said, and she got out of the car. She slowly started to walk toward the man so that Annie could catch up. “Mr. Vega, I’m Deputy Huggins, and this is Sheriff Gold. How may we help you today?” Annie asked him. “Deputy, Sheriff, please call me Marty. I am sorry for bothering y’all today, but this is the craziest thing I have ever seen, and I didn’t know what else to do,” Mr. Vega told them, shaking his head as he looked at the ground. “That’s alright, Marty. That is what we are here for,” Annie told him. “Can you tell us what happened?” “Well, I was out here workin’ in the barn, and I saw my hammer go flying

“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 that?” “There will always be men who treat you like that. Didn’t you notice that I was being addressed the same way as you? Even though I do have the experience and the title, he still talked to me like that,” Lindsay told Annie. “It is so frustrating that people act like that. But, oh my gosh, that thing listened to me. I mean, that is the most awesome thing that has ever happened to me. I have had other things that have been awesome, but this is even more awesome than any of those. Does that mean that there is something special about me? Are you special? Is that why it listens to us?” Annie asked. “Those are excellent questions, Annie. I wish that I had answers to them for you,” Lindsay to

51: Monsters Chapter 9 Part 1

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 she was thankful.She was already dressed in her uniform and could have gone to work early, but it would have meant leaving her son alone with Margaret Gold. That was something she would not do to him. She had decided she would drive him to school and spend a little time with him. Lindsay was standing in her kitchen, looking out the window and sipping her coffee, when she heard footsteps coming into the room. She turned to see it was Margaret Gold, and to Lindsay’s surprise, she was wearing her robe. She usually did not leave her room without being fully dressed and with her hair and makeup done. “Mrs. Gold, is something wrong?” Lindsay asked her politely. “There were strange noises outs

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 hall. From the sound of them, it was Margaret. How was she going to explain this to her?“Why is that child eating in his room? If he had been raised with any manners, he would be sitting at the table eating his breakfast, which would be more than cold cereal if you were a proper mother,” Margaret scolded her.“Mrs. Gold, I need you to be quiet right now. There is an animal in the yard that needs to be captured for the safety of everyone, and I don’t want anything to scare it away,” Lindsay told her quietly and as patiently as possible. She was too focused on the creature walking among the trees to pay any attention to what Margaret had said.“Is that the same animal you should have dealt w

It began to crouch when the gravel in the driveway made the first crunch as the primary vehicle pulled in and parked. Lindsay made a run for the front door with her gun already drawn and was raising it as she stepped onto the front porch. The creature had begun its charge as soon as the first truck door had opened. Without pausing, Lindsay opened fire on the beast as it charged toward the truck and the people standing beside it. She did not count the shots. She fired until it fell, sliding to a stop mere feet from where Randy stood. Randy fell to the ground. Lindsay cautiously moved off the porch to where Randy was on the ground with her gun still drawn and facing the creature.“Randy, are you alright? Randy!” Lindsay yelled at him as she tapped him with her foot.“Um, I think. Why am I on the ground?” Randy asked, confused as he sat up.“Because you fainted,” Lindsay said. “Are you hurt? Did you hit your head?” “No, I’m not hurt,” Randy said as he began to stand. “Is that the thing

“Sheriff’s department, how may I help you?” Cat answered. “Cat, I need you to do me a favor. I need Viktor to come up to my house and pick up my mother-in-law. I arrested her a few minutes ago,” Lindsay told her. She could hear Cat choke and begin coughing on the other end of the line. Lindsay gave her a moment to catch her breath and tried not to laugh. “You arrested your mother-in-law? Uh…OK, I will send Viktor up to you. Are you sure you don’t want me to send Little Bob?” Cat asked. “I’m sure. I want to prove to Mrs. Gold that she does not have the control she thinks she does. She not only put me and her both in danger, but Dillon and the team that came to capture something at my house, and I will not tolerate that.” Lindsay could hear Cat telling Viktor he needed to get ready for a call. “Oh, and Cat, I want to put a little extra fear into her if possible. Will you let Viktor know that? Have him ask Little Bob what he needs to do.” “Oh, yes, ma’am. I will give Viktor that inf

51: Monsters Chapter 9 Part 5

Lindsay was just walking into the sheriff’s department when her phone rang in her pocket. She pulled it out and answered it, “Hello,” without looking at the caller ID.“Did you arrest my mother?” Wren asked.“Yes, I did, but there was a reason,” Lindsay told him. “Let me get to my office, and I will explain it to you. Not everyone needs to know everything.”“I can’t believe you arrested her,” Wren said with disbelief as Lindsay reached her office and closed the door.Lindsay’s heart started pounding as soon as she heard the first words he said. She suddenly felt a wave of irrational fear that his mother was right, and he would want to leave her for doing this. She took a deep breath before she said anything.“OK. Do you remember the big cat, dog, carnivore thing that was in the pictures that Mike brought to the house? That thing showed up at the house. I told her repeatedly to go to her room, be quiet, and not come out until I came to get her, but she would not do it. The final straw

Wren had gotten home just after 1 a.m., and Lindsay was awake waiting for him. She had slept for about an hour before waking up and going to the living room to watch TV and wait for him to get home. “Why are you awake?” Wren asked her as he walked into the living room where she was. “I couldn’t sleep, and I missed you,” she answered as he sat beside her on the couch and put his arms around her. “I’m sorry for treating your mother the way I did. I didn’t know what else to do.” Wren kissed her before saying, “You did what you should have done. You probably should have done it sooner, but I know you were worried about how it would affect me.” “I was worried, and I still am. Your Mother is going to be even worse to me now and do her very best to split us up. I’m worried about what lengths she will go to,” Lindsay told him as she put her head on Wren’s chest. “Don’t worry about that; it will never happen. Nothing on the planet will ever split us up,” Wren told her, kissing her on the

51: Monsters Chapter 11

The next few days were less eventful than when Wren had been away. He was in his office on the base, reviewing what had been discovered while he was gone. Whatever the creature had been at his home was not listed in anything he could access. Lindsay had described it as a cat, dog, and hyena mix, and she was not far off. The big questions were: where did it come from, and how did it get there? As he continued to review the information he had collected, he heard a knock on his door. Without waiting for a reply, Randy came into the room, breathless, holding papers in his hand. “I’m sorry for barging in, Agent Gold, but you need to see this. It is the full analysis of the stomach contents from the necropsy of that thing that was at your house,” Randy said, barely catching his breath. “And this is so important that you couldn’t send it to me in an email? I am sitting right here in front of my computer. I would have seen it immediately.” Wren said, slightly irritated as he took the paper
