Hours later, they woke up on the couch. They both quickly realized they had made a mistake not going back to bed. “How bad are you hurting from sleeping on this couch?” Wren asked her, not trying to get up. “Bad,” Lindsay answered. Her ribs were hurting and making it difficult to breathe. “I think we are getting too old for this.” “Speak for yourself, old man. I am still young. I have just been beaten up too many times.” “Do you think Dillon would come and help us up off this thing?” Wren asked, moving a little and grimacing. Lindsay laughed, “No. I think he would point, laugh, record it, and call Max to come and do the same thing.” “Hmm, you might be right about that one.” “Give me a minute, and I will start working on getting up,” Lindsay said. It took several minutes for Lindsay to slowly change positions and get up. When she was up, Wren could get up without any difficulty. Lindsay cooked breakfast while Wren showered first. When he was finished, he came out, and they a

It was a warm summer night, and Lindsay was in her favorite place, her front porch. It was sometime after midnight, and she was once again awake because of nightmares. Most of the time, Lindsay didn't remember what they were; she would just wake up in a cold sweat, her heart pounding. This time, she remembered all of it. She remembered what happened the day Wren had found Clayton. Remembering Wren lying on the ground filled her with panic. She heard the door open, and Wren and Crook came onto the porch. Wren had two bottles of her favorite orange soda and handed one to her.“Nightmares?” Wren asked as he sat beside her and kissed her. “Yeah, about what happened with Clayton,” Lindsay answered. Wren put his arms around her and pulled her close. He did not say anything; he just held her. He did not want to tell her he had been having nightmares about the same thing. After several minutes, he let go, looked at her, and tucked her hair behind her ear. “Are you feeling better?” he asked

Lindsay sat at her table in the shade of one of the many trees in Little Bob’s yard. She watched Wren as he stood near the house, talking with Viktor, Yuri, and Max. She could not help but think about how handsome Wren was in his dress slacks and a button-down shirt. They were usually in uniforms or work clothes, or in sweats when they were home. It was nice to see him like this. Cat sat down beside Lindsay and quietly said, “I know that look.” “What look?” Lindsay asked. “The look you have now. That is the same look that Wren has when he watches you,” Cat told her. Lindsay smiled and replied, “I didn’t realize I had a look just now.” “You do, but that isn’t a bad thing. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go drag Viktor away from the group for Annie. She and Izzy are trying to be patient with him and Max, but that isn’t working very well,” Cat told her. Cat stood and walked to where the men were talking. It took only a moment for Cat to break up the group, and Wren returned t

Wren drove to Little Bob’s house. They passed the river access, where they encountered the creature that had attacked Big Bob. When they did, Wren squeezed Lindsay’s hand. There had been many close calls since she had become sheriff. This wedding was a nice distraction from everything that had happened.They pulled into Little Bob’s driveway and parked under one of the giant oaks that lined it. Before they were even out of the car, Little Bob was walking toward them. “Are you ready for him?” Wren asked Lindsay. “The better question is, are you ready for him? I will be inside with the ladies trying to keep Evie and Jenny from crying themselves silly,” Lindsay answered, smiling at him. “You have fun with that, and yes, I’m ready for him,” Wren laughed. “About time you three got here,” Little Bob called out as they got out of the car. “Evie and Jenny are making Molly nervous, and they are all driving me crazy.” “I will take care of them if you take care of these two,” Lindsay told

It had been nearly a month since Wren and Lindsay had been attacked and Clayton had been killed. Wren had healed completely, other than a small scar above his eyebrow. Lindsay was still somewhat sore and was left with a wicked scar from the chest tube that had been placed in her side. Today was the day Little Bob’s daughter, Molly, and Big Bob’s son, Connor, were getting married, and it was a nice distraction from what had happened recently. Lindsay slipped on the dress she was going to wear and felt Wren immediately begin zipping the back for her. He moved closer, putting his arms around her waist and kissing her neck. “You look beautiful,” Wren whispered in her ear. Lindsay turned to face him, and Wren kept his arms around her as she did. He pulled her even closer and kissed her again. “If you keep this up, we may not make it to the wedding,” Lindsay said with her lips still close to his.“I had thought about that,” he said as he kissed her again. “I guess we should go. Little

Max and Dillon had done everything they could think of to clean the house before Lindsay and Wren got home. They had a load of dishes running in the dishwasher, the floors had been swept and mopped, and they even did the laundry after they washed Crook. Max had just put a couple of frozen pizzas in the oven when they heard Wren’s car pulling into the driveway. They hurried to the door and waited for Wren and Lindsay to walk in, so that when the pair did, they were met by Max and Dillon, both standing and smiling at them.“Oh, this is frightening,” Wren said as soon as he opened the door and saw them.“Don’t pick on them too much. It looks like they have been behaving themselves,” Lindsay said as she carefully hugged both Dillon and Max.Crook came running into the room and started bouncing up and down by her to get her attention. She looked down at the dog and kneeled to pet him.“Did you guys give him a bath, too?” she asked.“That was your son’s idea. He said something about that p

As Lindsay continued to form the list of everything that needed to be done and everyone she needed to contact, Little Bob walked into her office.“Lindsay, do you have a minute?” Little Bob asked her.“Of course, Bob. Come on in and shut the door if you want to,” Lindsay said.“No, that’s OK. I jus

“Time to get to work, Annie. Let’s go grab a couple of things out of the car. If this thing really is here, we will need to let Agent Gold know. Before we call him, we have to see if we can safely find it,” Big Bob told Annie. “Do you think this woman is telling the truth?” Annie asked as she foll

“Are you two ready for tonight?” Lindsay asked as they walked into her office. “I think so,” Andy answered. “Is she still riding with Big Bob?” “Yes, she is,” Lindsay answered. “If you never see her again, that means I couldn’t take it anymore and left her in the woods,” Big Bob said, smiling.

Lindsay looked at the clock on her office wall. It was almost 3:30 in the afternoon, and she was waiting for the evening shift to start arriving. Today was the day that Annie would begin training on the same shift as Andy and Big Bob. She knew Big Bob could handle it, but she was worried about Andy
