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 th

    “Any idea what he is doing?” Lindsay asked while he was out of the room. Big Bob smiled at her and answered, “I might, but I don’t want to spoil the surprise.” “Linz, you might be in trouble if these two are working together on something,” Wren said as he began to laugh. Little Bob returned, handed her a file folder, and sat down across from her again. “Go ahead and look. You might be pleasantly surprised by what you find,” Little Bob said, smiling. “You scare me,” Lindsay said as she opened the folder. “Seriously, a personnel file for Isabella Dyatlov. After what I just told you about what the commissioner said?” “Just read it. I am not thinking about full-time. What I am thinking is she could do part-time, fill in when someone is gone, or maybe just reserve,” Little Bob said. “She also has some additional skills that would come in pretty handy around here.” “You’re right, and not only for this department,” she said as she handed Wren the folder. “Take a look, dear. She might b

    Wren pulled into the parking lot at the sheriff’s department. When he did, he saw Little Bob standing outside on his phone with his ever-present cup of coffee sitting on top of the trash can beside him. Little Bob saw Wren getting out of his car and hung up his phone, dropping it into his pocket. “Do I want to know why you are out here?” Wren asked him. “No, but one way or another, you’ll find out. Lindsay met with the county commissioners this morning,” Little Bob said. “Why is that so bad? She meets with them regularly,” Wren said, a little confused. “Because this time, Bill Marks and Roy James followed her back over here, and they have been in her office with the door closed for the last, oh…, almost three hours,” Little Bob said as he looked at his watch. Wren raised his eyebrow and replied, “That can’t be good.” “That’s what I figured. That is why I was on the phone with Big Bob. I wanted to give him a heads up that something might be happening,” Little Bob told Wren as he

    “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

    It had been a few days since the call that had unraveled Keith’s nerves. He had decided not to quit, which was good news for everyone. The one problem was that he wanted answers that no one could give him. He had asked Lindsay so many questions that she finally threatened to call Wren to come and s

    It took Wren a few minutes to convince the man that what he had seen was a person, not a creature. Lindsay watched the process in amazement. It was almost as if he possessed some magical power that compelled people to believe what he said. Just as they were finishing with the homeowner, they heard

    Lindsay dialed the game warden's number and waited for him to answer. She had parked behind the other patrol cars and could see what was taking place in both of them at that moment. Keith was sitting in the driver’s seat of his car, holding the steering wheel and rocking back and forth. He may have

    It had been a few days since Lindsay had dealt with Dillon and his friends at the Sycamore River. Dillon had been banned from all technology until further notice, and to ensure that happened, he was helping at the sheriff’s department, doing a form of community service. That meant the cleaning crew
