“You look deep in thought. Do I need to come back?” Wren asked.

“No. It’s perfect timing, but why didn’t you tell me you would be home today?” Lindsay asked Wren.

“I finished things up around midnight and wanted to surprise you,” he said, coming into her office and kissing her before sitting in a chair across from her. “Are you OK? Did something happen?” he asked.

“The answers to those questions are, I’m not sure, and maybe,” she said. “Agent Cooper was here just a little while ago. He asked me about the recent events, and by the way, he knew that I had toxicology reports from Amber’s wounds. He seemed to think I know more than I should and hinted that you might be giving me information about what is happening.”

“Try to ignore him. He rarely gets out of the office, and when he does, he tries to show how much authority he thinks he has,” Wren told her. “I will not only have a talk with him but with his supervisor. I outrank his supervisor, so I don’t think you need to worry about him.”

    The drive back to the sheriff’s department was quiet. Little Bob and Annie sat in the back seat. Lindsay looked in the rearview mirror and checked on them. She could not understand what he was saying, but she could see that Little Bob was softly talking to Annie and holding her hand as if she were one of his daughters. Lindsay thought back to when she had started at the department years earlier. He had known her for many years and treated her the same way, even though she had worked for another department. Little Bob always tried to take care of everyone and make them feel better. That was part of why he was so good at his job. That was part of why she had given him the position of Chief Deputy. When they pulled up in front of the sheriff’s department, Lindsay and Wren exited the car and opened the back doors for Annie and Little Bob. “I got her,” Little Bob said as he began to help Annie out of the car and into the building. “Wren, why don’t you have Bob help you get Annie back t

    Lindsay and Wren arrived at the scene where Little Bob and Annie had hit something. When they pulled up, Little Bob was staring at the car before he began to walk toward them. Annie was at the side of the road, bouncing up and down. As she did, her ponytail bounced up and down, making her look even younger than she was. “When you said she was young, you weren’t kidding,” Wren said, watching Annie. Lindsay replied, “I told you she’s barely legal to carry a gun. Did you think I was joking about that?” “No, but good grief, she looks like she’s twelve,” Wren said. “I know. Annie makes me feel old, and no comments from you about my age. Remember, you are older than I am,” Lindsay said. They got out of the car just as Little Bob reached them. He just stood shaking his head. Wren reached into the backseat of Lindsay’s car and retrieved a black case. “I hit something, and it is still there on the road, but for the life of me, there is nothing there,” Little Bob said, shaking his head.

    Lindsay did not even finish reading the report; she closed it and pushed it across the desk toward Wren. She looked at him and could see in his eyes that what she and the department were dealing with bothered him. “Sweetheart, I know you can’t tell me about all of this,” she said as she motioned to her desk and the map on her office wall. “But do you have any idea as to how long this is going to go on? I can barely find deputies to replace those who quit because of this stuff. The only deputies whom I know are not going anywhere are the Bobs, Andy, and Max. I hired Annie, and so far so good, but she is fresh out of training and barely old enough to carry a gun.” “I wish I knew, but I have to say what you and this department are doing is a huge help. I don’t have the resources to track and locate everything, and your idea of this map has been more helpful than you know,” Wren said. “I promise I will tell you everything I can as soon as possible.” “I know you will. Do you want to cal

    Lindsay Gold was pulling her patrol car up in front of the sheriff’s department and parking when Little Bob began to walk toward her. Little Bob said, shaking his head, “I can’t believe that you hired that girl. She is going to drive us all crazy.”“Let’s go inside and talk about it,” Lindsay said. As they went inside, Cat was waiting for them, and Annie was sitting in a chair beside the desk that Little Bob used. Cat looked at Lindsay and raised an eyebrow as if she was questioning her. Lindsay looked at Cat and then back at Annie, who was still sitting in the chair. The only thing she thought was that it was too early in the day for this. She motioned for Cat to follow them into her office and closed the door behind them. “OK, yes, I know she is young and inexperienced, and she talks nonstop, but she is also here and wants the job. It has been weeks, and she is the only one who wanted it. What else was I supposed to do?” Lindsay asked, looking at Cat and Little Bob. “Anyway, B

    Sheriff Lindsay Gold sat in her office, looking at the file of the one person who wanted to work for her. Losing Deputy Keith Abernathy had been a blow to her and everyone who worked for the sheriff’s department. When he had quit, others quickly followed suit. She read what she had in her hands, and she agreed with the decision that Big Bob and Little Bob had made about who to hire. Over the past few weeks, she and the Bobs had called at least two dozen people who had applied to work there in the past, and all of them refused the job. A few who had been working as reserve or volunteer deputies had even said they wanted to quit doing that. Lindsay hoped this person would want to work there for a while, even with all the weirdness that had been going on in the county. Lindsay heard the door chime on the department’s main door. She looked up to see a very short young woman standing at the counter, speaking with Cat, the day dispatcher. She saw Cat turn and walk toward her open office doo

    When they reached where Lindsay was sitting, the little creature looked up at them and waved as if it had been trained. They could see that it had blue eyes, almost the color of the ocean. It slowly walked upright to Wren, touched him on the leg with one hand, and held up the other, almost as if it were a greeting. It then moved on to each of the other men and then back to Lindsay, sitting on her leg and lifting her hand back to its head.“I think you have a pet,” Wren told Lindsay.“She will never be a pet. She’s just lonely,” Lindsay said. Randy asked, “How do you know it is a she?” “I will sound crazy, but I just feel it,” Lindsay told him.“Well, it is an almost rainbow-colored flying monkey, so I would say that crazy is the new normal around here,” Randy grinned.Wren asked Lindsay, “Would you be willing to help put this little girl in the van for the trip?” “Of course,” she told Wren. “Let me get up, little girl. You need to go with these men to your new home. I will carry you
