It was just before two in the morning when Wren walked outside to find Lindsay on the porch in her usual spot. He sat down beside her and wrapped the blanket he was carrying around them both.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, putting his arm around her shoulders and pulling her close.

“Nothing that’s new. Bad dreams, a headache, and I’m pretty sure that I heard one of my big friends, but I’m not positive,” she answered, putting her head on his shoulder.

“You probably did hear your big friend. He was

    “Agent Gold, Sheriff Gold,” Randy said with a little nod as he looked at the creature on the ground.“Randy,” Lindsay replied with a little smile. “Do you need help with the cage, or can you handle bringing it over by yourself?” Wren asked him.Randy answered, “I can get it, sir. I’ll be right back.” Randy turned and went back to the van. He opened the back and soon came back with a collapsible cage. He set it on the ground beside Lindsay and quickly had it ready for the creature.Just as Wren began to reach for the creature on the ground in front of him, a long, low call came from the woods at the edge of the yard. He looked at Lindsay. She was staring toward the trees and the sound.“He is waiting for his apples, isn’t he?” Wren asked her.“Maybe, but I think he’s probably upset because of this thing,” she answered, nodding toward the creature on the ground.“You feed it?” Randy asked her, sounding shocked.“I leave him a couple of apples every night. I am not his only source of f

    Lindsay had been holding the tranquilizer gun at the ready. She quickly and carefully made the shot, striking the creature in the shoulder with the dart. Lindsay picked up another dart and reloaded the gun. She aimed it and readied for the second shot if it was needed. It was almost to the fence when it began to stagger. When it reached the fence, it placed a paw on the wire, and Lindsay shot it with the second dart. Within seconds, it fell into a heap in the field.Lindsay raised her head from the scope and looked at the others. Wren was still holding the binoculars and seemed unconcerned about what had just happened. Andy and Annie were another story. They had both drawn their weapons and had been ready to start shooting the creature if it had made its way through the fence.“You two can put those away now,” Lindsay told Andy and Annie.They both hesitated before putting their guns back in their holsters. Andy looked a little pale as he continued to stare at the creature. Annie was

    “We need binoculars. This thing has teeth. It has a lot of teeth that popped out of its gums like switchblades. It just ate a mouse, so you may want to watch this thing with me,” Lindsay told him.“Here,” Wren said as he handed her a dart. “If it does anything or tries to go anywhere while I’m inside, knock it out for me.”She smiled and carefully took the dart from him. She held it as she watched him go inside to get what he needed. After the door closed behind him, she slid the dart into the tranquilizer gun and prepared it to fire if necessary. She raised the rifle and began watching the creature through the scope again. As she watched, it calmly moved around the field, chasing butterflies and occasionally eating flowers and other things it found. After a few moments, she heard the door open again and could see Wren out of the corner of her eye. He walked to where she was sitting and placed something on the chair beside her. She looked, saw it was her pistol in its holster, and lo

    “Agent Gold,” Wren answered his phone as he stepped onto his front porch to join his wife.“Sir, this is Andy Baxter. Annie and I are on a call not far from your house. A lady said that she saw a green, fur-covered creature in her yard, and it approached her dog as if it were going to attack it,” Andy told him.“Hang on, Andy, and let me pass this on to your boss,” Wren said as Lindsay looked at him.“Is this about a green thing that looks like a weird puppet from a children’s show or something?” Lindsay asked Wren before he could say anything.Wren asked Andy, “Does it look like a puppet of some kind?” “I didn’t see it, sir, but that’s how the lady described it. Do you know what it is?” Andy asked.“No, I don’t,” Wren answered. Wren looked at Lindsay. She pointed into the neighbor’s field that joined their yard. He looked where she was pointing and saw a strange creature covered in what seemed to be green wool. Of all the things he had seen, this was one of the weirdest.“Uh, Andy,

    Andy led the way out of the sheriff's department and into the parking lot. Before they got in their patrol cars, he gave Annie the address and told her to follow him to the location. Her response was just a big smile and nodding of her head. He got into his car and pulled out of the parking lot, watching to ensure she followed his instructions. He was thankful that they were in separate cars. He was more able to talk to women than when Sheriff Gold took over, but he still did not like to do it. Annie's constant chatter drove him crazy. He would sometimes go on patrol just to get some peace and quiet.Throughout the drive to the area, he kept looking in his rearview mirror to make sure Annie was still behind him. He was running through all the possible scenarios of what could happen in his head as he drove. One was that the woman who called was hallucinating, and nothing was actually there. Another was much worse: the woman was right, and it would try to eat him and Annie the same way

    Annie and Andy had not been on duty long and were both at their desks. Sheriff Gold had left a few minutes after their shift had started. She had made sure they had no questions, and the information between the day and evening shifts was exchanged before she left for the day, the same as she always did. Andy had never asked the sheriff why she did that, even though there was no need. “Andy,” Annie said, startling him. “What?” he answered after jumping slightly.“Do you get the feeling that everyone is trying to hide something from us? I mean, there is already like so much stuff happening, and now Big Bob is taking days off and leaving you in charge of the shift. There’s all of that, and then there are all of those closed-door meetings that the sheriff has and even super-secret meetings that are who knows where. She even leaves Little Bob in charge and just doesn’t show up to work on some days. Don’t you think that we should know about some of these things since we work here and wo

    Lindsay walked him back to the rest of the group. When she reached the counter, she turned to Cat.“Cat, can you get the game warden on the phone? He needs to know about this if he doesn’t already know,” she said.“Doing it now,” Cat answered. “Do you want to talk to him out here, or would you like

    “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
