Lindsay was sitting at her desk, reviewing the previous shifts' reports, when she heard the door chime. She looked up to see John Lingerfelt stepping in, and Cat immediately moved toward him to help him. Lindsay stood from her desk and began to walk to the front, and as she did, she saw a broad smile come across his face as he spoke with Cat. When she was closer, Lindsay could hear Cat speaking to him in flawless German and understood the smile on his face. “Lindsay, my dear, how are you this cold morning?” John asked her cheerfully. “I’m fine, John. This is a surprise. What brings you by?” Lindsay asked him as she smiled. She could not help it. John’s happiness always seemed to be contagious. “I would like to speak with you and find out how you are doing if you don’t mind,” he said. “Of course, I don’t mind. Come with me, and we’ll talk in my office, where we can have a little more privacy,” Lindsay told him, then led him to her office. She closed the door behind him and then sat

Lindsay watched John leave the building. Wren waited for the door to chime before he said anything. “Did you call John to come here and look at the pictures?” Wren asked her. “No, I didn’t. I had no idea he was going to stop by here. I thought while he was here, I would ask him about those two,” Lindsay said, motioning to the pictures still lying on her desk. “That was OK, wasn’t it?” “Yeah, that was fine. Did he say anything about anything else while he was here?” Wren asked.“Not really. He said he wanted to stop and check on me, was all. He wanted to know if I had gotten the reports from the last tests my doctor ran on me when I had my headaches checked out. He was rather intrigued by Cat. As soon as he said two words to her, she began speaking with him in fluent German. I have never seen him smile like that, “Lindsay told him.“He doesn’t get out very much, so that was probably a very nice surprise for him,” Wren said.Before he said anything else, Lindsay’s cell phone rang in

They drove for several more minutes before they pulled into the parking lot at the sheriff’s department and saw that Little Bob and Viktor had made it back. They went in, and Wren turned to go to Lindsay’s office while Randy walked back to Little Bob’s desk, placing the small black case he had brought inside with him beside it. Wren walked into Lindsay’s office and sat down in the chair across from her. Lindsay was still going over reports of weirdness and putting the information into the database Cat had created. She stopped and looked at him as he sat silently, watching her work. “Is something wrong, babe?” she asked. “I can honestly say I have no idea,” he answered. “What happened?” “The entire family group attacked the house, cabin, or whatever it is. They broke every window and door. They ransacked the entire house inside and out. Linz, they can be aggressive, but they are never this aggressive. I have never seen anything like this. Randy will be testing everything that is c

Lindsay did not stay asleep. She never did for long. She woke up just over an hour after they had gone back to bed. Her head hurt, and her thoughts were racing. She turned, looked at Wren asleep beside her, and smiled. The one thing she envied about him was his ability to sleep anytime, anywhere, and through almost anything. One of the few things that would wake him up was her being out of bed for a long time during the night. He could always tell when she was not beside him and would always look for her. She sat up, took a bottle of aspirin from the drawer in her nightstand, swallowed a couple of them, and lay back down. She quietly rested beside Wren, waiting for the medicine to work. As she lay in bed, she kept thinking about all of the things that had been happening around her house in the previous weeks and became even more awake with each thought. When the aspirin finally took the edge off her headache, she looked at the alarm clock beside her and decided to get up and begin he

The rest of Lindsay’s day had been relatively uneventful. As she predicted, Little Bob had come in and checked on her when he had found out how early she had come in. The weather had, thankfully, not caused any serious issues for her department. It might even have kept things a little quieter than usual. She had emailed the information from the database Cat had created to Wren so he could go over it after she had made sure it was up to date. She had then gone through files from the base with the hope of finding anything about the red balls of light or the creature that had been killed at her house, but had no luck. She waited until after the evening shift arrived before leaving to make sure they had everything they needed to deal with the cold and snow. Overall, it had been a nice, boring day, which made her happy.As soon as she arrived home, she could smell that Wren had cooked supper for them. She found him in his office, still reviewing reports and test results.“It looks like you
