Chapter: 51: The Beginning Chapter 3 Part 4When Lindsay got home, she was the only one there, which was rare. She walked into the bedroom to change out of her uniform. She turned on the light, and the first thing she saw was her dog, Crook, lying on his back on the bed. When the light came on, he stretched, groaned, put his front paws around his snout, and pulled his head down. She walked over to the bed and scratched him on the head. He finally opened his eyes and wagged his tail.He was not a beautiful dog. He was a scrawny white hound mix. He was born with a strange crook in his tail that, as he had gotten older, made him look like his tail was short with a ball of fur at the end. When he was just a couple of years old, he injured his ear, which, upon healing, became wrinkled and shorter than the other ear. Nevertheless, what he lacked in looks, he made up for in personality and love. Lindsay changed her clothes and then went to the kitchen, closely followed by Crook. He hopped into a chair in the living room by the kitche

Chapter: 51: The Beginning Chapter 3 Part 3“Sheriff, there is a gentleman by the name of Wren here to see you. Would you like me to bring him back?” Cat asked.“Yes, thank you.”Cat returned to the counter before returning with Wren to Lindsay’s office. Wren followed Cat to the door, and she watched him walk into Lindsay’s office with her eyebrow raised before turning and walking back to the front counter. He looked at Lindsay’s desk and shook his head.“Wow. After looking at that desk, I hope you’re not mad at me because I told you to take this job,” Wren said.Lindsay mustered a half-smile. “Of course, I’m not mad at you.” She stood, walked over to him, and gave him a quick kiss. “This is a nice surprise. What are you doing here?”Wren closed the door behind him, then said, “I brought you something that I think you will want to read.” He handed her a file that was worn with age.Lindsay took it and began reading as she walked back to her desk and sat down. It was a report that was written a few years after the military base

Chapter: 51: The Beginning Chapter 3 Part 2“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 about everything so that I can pass it on to you. However, the real reason is that my mother called me this morning. She and Ms. Johnson go to church together. You seem to have made quite the impression on her, and she is hard to impress,” Little Bob answered.“Well, thankfully, she was fine, but something damaged her phone box at the back of her house. As far as why I was with Andy, it was because Andy came to my house yesterday evening. It seems as though Big Bob had told him that if he did not come to talk to me, I would fire him. The call came in while Andy was still at my house. He wasn’t familiar with that area, so I went with him and drove,” Lindsay said. “Is there anything else you wa

Chapter: 51: The Beginning Chapter 3 Part 1Lindsay 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 the previous sheriff of the oversight. Lindsay was now up to her elbows in paperwork, trying to fix the mess. She had also spent a considerable amount of time on the phone, trying to find out how bad things were. They were bad. Far worse than she had anticipated. All of this was making her wonder about the real reason the old sheriff had resigned. That was only a brief thought because, just then, Little Bob walked into her office.He sat in a chair in front of her desk and asked, “Why haven’t you redecorated yet?” He was looking at all of the taxidermies on the walls that no one had had a chance to remove yet.She just looked at him. The look on her face made it clear as to what kind of day

Chapter: 51: The Beginning Chapter 2 Part 4As 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 than Lindsay needed to do, but she also felt it was the right thing to do. She also gave instructions that she was to be called if Rita called again.The drive back was pleasant and peaceful. It turned out that Andy was a good driver, so she was not nervous riding with him. She had ridden with some who made her want to kiss the ground when the car came to a stop. Lindsay surprisingly found herself enjoying the ride and gazing out the window at the stars. She could not remember the last time she had done either of those things. She was startled when Andy spoke.“Sheriff, you know more about that call we were on than you are saying, don’t you?”Lindsay took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She w

Chapter: 51: The Beginning Chapter 2 Part 3Lindsay’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 her. It took weeks, even months, before she could block out what she could remember of it. Now, here she was, right back in the same area where it had happened before, with the same type of call as before.Truthfully, Lindsay was not only dreading this call but also the drive with Deputy Andy Baxter. It would take well over half an hour just to reach the area. That did not account for the additional time required to find the address of the call. It was going to feel like hours. That was not going to help with anything. She hoped and prayed that he would at least be able to answer her when she spoke to him.“Andy, do we have any more information about the call?” she asked.“No, ma’am, not yet,”
