Lindsay looked at Wren, who was staring at her. “I’m not going to lie. This hurts,” she told him, pointing to her head. “The bruising is getting worse by the second, isn’t it?”“It is. Your eyelid is turning black as we speak,” Wren answered her.“I need ice. Is there any chance I am lucky enough to find a cold pack in that first aid kit?“No, of course not,” Wren answered her. “What are the chances of you going home and lying down with ice on that so it doesn’t get worse?”“Considering it is starting to hurt with every blink, better than you might think,” she answered. Just as she did, Little Bob walked into her office and looked at her.“Darn, you’re still alive. I was hoping for another promotion,” Little Bob said to her with a big smile on his face.“I know it, but you are out of luck this time,” Lindsay told him with a feeble attempt at a smile. “We need to implement an immediate order department-wide. There is to be absolutely no yelling or raised voices of any kind in this buil

“Agent Gold, Chief Deputy Smith asked me to explain what I found while you and Sheriff Gold were out of the office,” Randy said nervously.Wren turned and looked at Randy, moving to the side to allow Randy to see the bruise and cut on Lindsay’s forehead. “Hey Randy, what did you find?” he asked.Randy’s eyes grew wide, and his mouth fell open. “What happened? Are you alright, Sheriff?” he asked her.“I am, and this is what happens when the department poltergeist gets mad, throws a ceramic coffee mug at your head, and you don’t duck in time,” she answered him with a weak smile. “What did you find? Please tell me that you have some news about whatever was going on in here today.”“Yes, ma’am, I think I might have found something. When I got here this morning, I started checking the level of the electromagnetic fields here in the building, and they were high. The readings are so high that I have never seen any this high outside of controlled environments. So when the power went out, that

Lindsay drove back to the department, closely followed by Wren. The entire drive, she wondered about the conversation Wren had with John before she arrived. Whatever had happened had upset Wren, and that bothered her more than finding out John had been secretly studying her. She pulled into the parking lot, got out of her car, and waited beside it for Wren. Just as Wren began to get out of his car, she heard what sounded like yelling coming from inside the building.“What was that?” he asked her as he closed his car door. “I don’t know, but I need to find out,” she told him as she walked toward the front door. Wren jogged ahead and pulled the door open for her.“Thanks, I think,” Lindsay said as she stepped inside. “What is...?” she began to ask. Before Lindsay could finish her question, a ceramic coffee mug hit her in the forehead. She stumbled back with Wren catching her. “Son of a...!” she yelled as she went forward onto her knee.“Sheriff! Are you alright?” Viktor exclaimed as he

“Are you alright? What’s wrong?” Lindsay asked. His response to seeing her and his tone of voice worried and confused her.“I’m fine; nothing is wrong. We have just been talking, and I realized a few things while we did. Sit down. We need to tell you something,” Wren told her, still holding her hand.John began after Lindsay had sat down, “Lindsay, I want to say that I am sorry to you for what I have done.” “Why are you sorry? You haven’t done anything to me that you need to apologize for,” Lindsay told him, a little confused. She glanced at Wren and saw his gaze shift from her to the floor as soon as she looked at him. “What exactly is going on? I almost feel like this is an intervention, but since my only bad habits are orange soda and chocolate, I’m pretty sure that is not what is happening.”“I have been studying you. I wanted to know why you have the connections you do with what has been happening. I am sorry,” John blurted out.“Why are you sorry? I want to know that, too. Why

“That, in a way, is a funny story. For some reason, as soon as you walk into that building today, you have this overpowering sense of doom. Everyone gets the feeling that something is about to happen once in a while, but today, in that building, it is magnified a hundred times. You can feel your skin tighten, preparing for something that is about to happen as soon as you walk inside. Randy is there taking some readings to see if he can find out the cause,” Wren explained.“If it were only Lindsay that had that feeling, I would say be prepared for something, but if it is happening to everyone, it must be some sort of external influence,” John told him.“That was her thought when she called me. I thought maybe it was just her, and the storms were causing something, but when I walked in, I felt it. It was like walking into a wall. It was rather disconcerting now that I think about it,” Wren said.“How often does Lindsay have that feeling? Like something is going to happen,” John asked.“

John had lost track of time and was startled by the sound of the teakettle whistling on the stove. He had been thinking about how much Wren reminded him of his first son. It was not in his appearance, yet for some reason, John always thought of Lukas. It was the little things, like how Wren laughed and his kindness. He wondered what his son would have been like if he had lived to be Wren’s age. He felt a sudden pang of sadness and hoped that what he had done would not make him lose Wren as well.As he set the kettle on the counter, the doorbell rang. When he walked to the front door and opened it, he was greeted by Wren, who was smiling at him.“Come in, my boy. You look like you are soaked. What weather we are having for this time of year,” John said as he ushered Wren into the sitting room and took his coat. “Have a seat by the fire. Let me take care of the kettle so you can have some hot tea and warm yourself a little.”Wren watched him hurry toward the kitchen as he sat down by th

Now Lindsay was even more concerned about what was in that river. The game warden had not found anything yesterday, but that did not mean something was not there. Her mind kept going through the different animals that could be in that river that were native to the area. The only one that she could

Lindsay stopped by the sheriff’s department for a few minutes before she began the drive out to the Sycamore River, where things had happened the day before. She had gone there so that she could call Amber and her parents to see how she was doing. Cat was, of course, already there when she walked th

Cat and Lindsay looked at each other after the Jones family had left. Cat could no longer contain herself and started laughing.“Wow, that was a little strange,” Cat said.Lindsay smiled at her. “Really? I hadn’t noticed,” she answered.“Are you kidding? I was getting worried. I thought she was goi

Cat had quickly created a form for the parents to sign, which contained their contact information. Lindsay was so happy to have Cat. She had been looking forward to having Esther help her in the department when she took over, but had to admit that Cat was better. That woman had a lot more to her th
