Lindsay and Cat continued working their way through stack after stack of files. They went back to about one month before Lindsay took over the department. The problem was that the first report of anything truly unusual was the event that happened at the Sycamore River that had injured Amber Clark. Now, the big question was, what could have happened to cause these things to start happening? Lindsay began trying to remember anything she had seen or heard that could explain why this was happening. Suddenly, she remembered a conversation she had with Wren. He had said that an incident had occurred on the base. What kind of incident could cause this?

“Something happened on the base,” Lindsay said softly, almost to herself.

“What?” Cat asked, looking at her, confused.

“I don’t know anything more than the military knows why these things keep happening,” Lindsay answered.

“Did Agent Gold tell you that?” Cat asked.

Lindsay answered, “Yes. Agent Gold told me a while back that there had been an

    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

    Wren made the call to his special team and gave them the location. Then they sat in the car and watched as the little creature floated in the air currents above the creek in the valley where they were. As they watched, it began to do what looked like little somersaults in the air. They could tell that it was playing and just being happy. The sun would catch on its wings, and they seemed almost to glow a rainbow of colors, and its fur looked like gold. It was the most fantastic thing they had seen.They had been watching it for almost an hour before they saw a van pull up behind them. A tall, thin man with glasses got out and walked toward the patrol car. He was looking up at the little creature still flying above the creek as he did. Wren and Lindsay got out and walked to meet the man.“Randy, thank you for coming out to help on this one,” Wren said to the man.“Is that it, Agent Gold? It is remarkable! Just remarkable!” Randy exclaimed.The creature had moved closer to the parked veh

    They got into Lindsay’s car and began the drive. As they traveled, they started discussing plans to renovate and redecorate part of their house. They talked about other things as Lindsay drove, but then Lindsay had to ask a question.“Wren, I have to know something. Could this really be some kind of flying monkey? I know we have made jokes about it, but I need you to give me a straight answer on this one,” she said.“Linz, I can promise you that I have never heard of or seen anything like a flying monkey. If there is a real one, I would be just as surprised as you,” Wren told her.They drove in silence for a few more miles until they neared where the thing had been seen. Lindsay could tell from the road and landmarks that they were where Max had recorded the video on the patrol car camera. She pulled the car off the road near a creek and looked at the address again. They were where it was reportedly seen.“Well, I guess we are here. That means we should get out of the car and have a l

    Lindsay sat in her office, going back over the personnel files, still trying to find a replacement for Keith. She had found two reserve deputies and a new applicant, all of whom would have been good choices. Unfortunately, when Lindsay called them, all three declined, and one of the reserve officers said he would also be resigning because he had heard about some of the calls that had been coming in. Lindsay was waiting for Little Bob to get back from the call he was on. She wanted his and Big Bob’s input on finding a replacement for Keith.She had just pulled the bottle of aspirin out of her desk drawer and had taken a couple with her now cold coffee when she heard the door chime. She saw Little Bob coming in and could see he was carrying something. He briefly stopped at Cat’s desk, gave her something, and headed straight for Lindsay’s office. When he walked in, Lindsay finally saw what he was carrying.“Ma’am,” he said, giving her a little bow. “Would you care for a hot fudge sundae?

    They put everything in the back of her car and began the drive out to the farm where the cow had been killed. Wren called the farm owner and let him know they were coming back out to have another look. Wren explained they needed to identify what had killed the cow. After that, they were mostly silent as Lindsay drove. All of the strange events were beginning to weigh on both of them. It only took a few minutes to reach the field where the cow was still lying. The first thing Lindsay noticed was that there were no other animals around.As they walked to where the cow lay, they realized how unusual things were. First, there was nothing but the cow. Typically, there would have been buzzards and crows nearby, but none were to be seen. There were not even any flies or beetles. Why was there nothing else here? The cow itself looked as if it had been hit by a speeding truck.“Wren, what could have done this?” she asked with concern in her voice.“I can honestly say I don’t know,” Wren answer
