When Wren left his house, Dillon, Nim, and Rebecca were sitting on the couch watching a movie. Rebecca was on one end, holding Crook on his back in her arms like a baby while he slept. Dillon was on the other end, and Rebecca’s big brother Nim was sitting between them. Wren had loaded the extra things into his car, which he thought might be needed at the sheriff’s department, before he left the house to go to the military base where he worked.

On his way to the base, the storm picked up. The l

    It was after 3 a.m. when she and Wren finished going through everything in the box. They sat quietly for a while, trying to grasp what they had read. They both finished their sodas, and Wren stood up.“I'm going to grab a couple of sleeping bags for us. Is there anything else you want me to get for you?” Wren asked.“Only if you have about a pound of chocolate somewhere,” Lindsay answered, stretching.“Look in the backpack,” Wren told her, then walked out of her office. Inside, she found not only chocolate bars but also a box of chocolate cupcakes. She just closed her eyes and laughed as she sat for a moment. No matter what had happened in the last twenty-four hours, this small gesture proved Wren still loved her.He returned to her office and looked around, trying to find the best spot for them to sleep. He went to where Cat had been working and unrolled the sleeping bags. He walked back toward the door, pushed the door mostly closed, and shut off the overhead lights. He turned on t

    As they continued to eat, they watched Cat working over on the floor of Lindsay’s office and what was going on out in the lobby. There had been a call about an alarm going off at a business just outside town. Big Bob took the call and was gone only briefly before returning, having found nothing. They saw Max and Yuri come in for their night shift and looked at the clock, seeing it was only 11 p.m.“They are here early,” Wren said.“They always are. If anyone who works here is ever late and you haven’t heard anything, someone had better check on them because something is wrong,” Lindsay told him. “This is good because Max makes great night shift coffee. It is guaranteed to keep you awake, and if you do fall asleep while drinking it, you need to give up and sleep because nothing will keep you awake.”“Hey, Max,” Lindsay called out to him. He looked toward her office with surprise on his face. He walked in and looked around. First, he looked at her and Wren, then at the stacks of files

    The file on top was Cat’s. He began to read, and Lindsay could see his expression change as he did. He finished reading it, glanced at Cat sitting on the floor on the other side of the office, and turned back to Lindsay.“Just keep reading. It gets better,” Lindsay told him as she took another bite of the stew.Wren then picked up Andy’s and had an almost identical reaction as he did with Cat’s file. He continued through the files for Annie, Viktor, and Yuri. When Wren had finished, he turned and looked at Lindsay. He just looked at her, smiled, and shook his head.“You have had these skills here, and you didn’t share that with me?” Wren asked.“You said you wanted them to have as little as possible to do with all of this weirdness, so that is what I have tried to do. Cat takes the calls, so she knows what is coming in. The Bobs and Max are shift supervisors, so they need to know what is going on to keep everyone else who is working safe. My standard order has been for them to fill ou

    Lindsay and Wren went back to where the deputies were sitting and joined them. To their relief, so far, much of the bad weather was going around them, so they weren’t flooded with calls as expected. Most of them were still planning to stay in the department to ensure there was extra help if needed. “Sheriff, would you like me to set up the printer and hard drive on your computer for you while you and Agent Gold get something to eat?” Cat asked just after they had sat down.Lindsay looked at Wren, and he just shrugged his shoulders.“Sure, Cat, go ahead,” Lindsay told her, then watched Cat bounce into her office. Lindsay smiled at Wren and said, “She is like a kid in a candy store with everything you brought me today.”“Yeah, I noticed,” Wren laughed.“Little Bob, Viktor, why don’t the two of you go home? We have been OK with our normal shifts. If you stay, it will be as volunteers because the overtime budget is shot,” Lindsay told them.Little Bob replied, “Nope. I have got eleven w

    The rest of the time they were waiting for the truck, Annie was the only one talking, and it was all to Viktor. Viktor seemed to be delighted with Annie’s constant chatter. Little Bob and Big Bob had moved to the far side of the loading dock, away from them. It was clear they had just about had it with her talking. Lindsay pulled out her phone and checked the time Wren had called. Just as she did, a truck that looked like a large moving truck pulled around and began to back up to the dock. It stopped a few inches away, and Lindsay saw Randy jump out of the cab.“Ma’am,” Randy greeted Lindsay. “Agent Gold told me to pull around here. He is parking in the parking lot out front. Let me put the liftgate down so we can get started.”Wren walked up next to Lindsay after coming through the department. He put his hand on Lindsay's back when he reached her. “I brought you a few things that you can borrow while we deal with this,” Wren told her softly, leaning in close.“Thank you; I can alway

    Lindsay sat at her desk, holding her cell phone. She hoped they could find an answer to at least a few of their questions. Wren was on his way to her office with boxes of files. She was having a hard time believing there could be as many as Wren had told her, but he had no reason to lie about it. Lindsay got up, opened her office door, and walked out to where the deputies were sitting, eating, and talking. Cat and Madison both watched her from the time she opened her office door. As she neared the deputies, they all fell silent and looked at her. She looked at them and asked, “What?” “Your hair is down, and you aren’t wearing your uniform shirt, or vest, or other gear,” Annie said quickly. “You just look really, really different. I mean, not like a bad different, just a different, different.” “I love this one,” Viktor laughed, putting his hand on Annie’s shoulder. “How do you get used to all that talking?” he asked.“You don’t,” Little Bob and Big Bob answered.Lindsay took a deep

    “Bob, what happened?” Lindsay asked him quietly as Yuri continued to ramble at Cat. “Not much. It was just some lights in the woods, and when we got there, they shot straight up and out of sight. I know the other shifts have had those lights, too. I didn’t think that much about it, but it sure wou

    “Roy, are you alright?” Lindsay asked him. Roy looked at her with his brow creased. “I don’t know. I saw something, but I didn’t. I don’t know how to explain it,” he said with confusion. “Come into my office, and let’s talk,” Lindsay said. She waved to Wren, who had been watching, to join them.

    The next thing Lindsay remembered was swinging at Wren when he touched her arm. She looked at him and could see his concern and fear. She had fallen asleep in her office. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I can’t believe I did that,” Lindsay said, leaning back again and looking at the ceiling. “It’s OK. Cat

    “What are you up to, Mikey?” Little Bob asked as he walked into Lindsay’s office. “I wish I knew. I have been checking some of the game cameras in the northern part of the county, where I have been getting some reports about strange things. I can’t explain some of it, so I thought I would ask you
