51: Monsters Chapter 18 Part 1

Lindsay looked up at the clock on her office wall. It was nearing 4 p.m., and she was looking forward to going home. Even if Wren was not there, Lindsay knew her son, Dillon, would be there. She hoped she could talk him into watching a movie with her, or at least do something together for a while. She was finishing the last part of her work when her cell phone rang in her pocket. Lindsay sighed because deep down, something told her the call would not be one she would enjoy. She pulled it out and saw that it was Wren calling her. “Hello, sweetie,” Lindsay answered happily, trying to hide her true feelings. “Hey, I need to talk to you,” Wren said in a serious tone. “I am going to send you a text with a location. As soon as you get it, memorize the information, turn off your phone, handheld radio, and car radio, and anything else that might let someone track your car, and meet me there. Don’t give any explanation or say anything other than you will be unavailable for the next couple

51: Monsters Chapter 18 Part 2

As Lindsay drove to meet her husband, her mind raced about what Wren needed to tell her. If he was telling her to turn off her phone and radios, there must be a reason, but it worried her. What had he found? Was she in danger? Even more important, was Dillon in danger? She finally reached the area where Wren was waiting for her. It was in the middle of nowhere. The nearest house was over a mile away. She pulled her car onto a gravel side road and saw his car parked ahead of her. He was out of his vehicle, leaning against it. Where he had parked, he could see the river in the distance, and it seemed to be watching it. When she got out of her car, she saw him drop a cigarette butt on the gravel by his foot. He had not smoked since their first date years earlier and knew this was a bad sign. As she walked to where he was parked, she could hear that his car stereo was blaring the local radio station. When she reached him, she was surprised when he grabbed her, pinned her against his car

“Sure, that’s Paul Russell. They were friends and worked together. Why do you ask?” she told him.“Because that is not Paul Russell. The man in that picture is Aaron White. Are you positive about the name you were told?”“I’m positive. That is Paul Russell. Wren, this man was in my house. He even played with Dillon. What is going on?” Lindsay asked as she wrinkled her forehead, trying to process what he was telling her. “Isn’t Aaron White the one who hasn’t been seen since the incident released everything on base?”“He is, and he was presumed dead because we did find evidence that would support the fact that he had died in the blast. Now, I’m beginning to wonder if he did not die. If he didn’t, that leads to dozens of questions that need to be answered.”“Is there anything I can do to help?”“No. I don’t want you involved in this. You are already more involved than you should be.”“I know that, but someone has forced me to be a part of this. That started the first day they watched me.

“Are you alright?” Wren asked her, feeling her shiver.“I was, but now I don’t know. Was my entire marriage to James a setup of some kind? I mean, I never met his family because he said they were estranged. When he died, they took over everything. I didn’t even have a funeral for him because they had him buried in the family plot out of state. They also made it clear I wasn’t welcome to attend his funeral. They said James' dying was my fault because of my work,” Lindsay told Wren, fighting the emotions she had.“I will find out the answers to all those questions; I promise you that. For now, try not to think about it or worry. If James did use you in that way, there is nothing that you could have done about it then or do about it now. I will find out why this ever began by any means necessary,” he said.Lindsay took his hand again and looked at it carefully. The bruises were several different colors, which meant whatever he had done, it had most likely been done over a few days. Since

51: Monsters Chapter 18 Part 5

Lindsay made the drive to the sheriff’s department and parked her car. She had to go inside for only a few minutes and did not want to do it. She walked into the building and to her office. Before reaching her desk, she heard her door close behind her.“I’m not going to talk about it,” she said before she turned around, knowing Big Bob would be standing behind her.“What was that super-secret meeting about?” Big Bob asked.“I told you, Bob, I am not going to talk about it. Even if I wanted to tell you, I couldn’t,” Lindsay said.“What’s wrong with you? Something has been wrong with you since last week.”“Nothing, Bob.”Big Bob said, “Don’t lie to me. I have known you long enough to know when you are lyin’ about something, and right now, you aren’t even tryin’ to pretend you aren’t.”“Bob, thank you for being concerned about me, but I can't tell you what is happening right now. I just can’t,” Lindsay said.“Whatever you have going on, you watch your back. We need you around here,” Big

51: Secrets Prologue

Agent Wren Gold was sitting in his car in the dark. It was after midnight, and he hoped he would get some answers from what he was about to do. He watched as a man walked out of the building across from where he was parked and immediately began moving. He pulled his car in front of the man and rolled down the passenger window. “Get in the car,” Wren told him flatly. “I am not getting in your car,” the man laughed. “You can either get in the car on your own, or I will put you in the car. I can assure you that it will be much more pleasant for you to get in on your own,” Wren said as he leaned over and opened the door. “I know who you are, Agent Gold,” the man said as he got in. “Good for you. I hope, for your sake, you can give me the information I need,” Wren said as he started to drive away from the building. “I don’t know what you want from me. I don’t know anything,” the man said nervously. “You and I both know that is a lie.” “I don’t know anything about what you want to k

51: Secrets Chapter 1 Part 1

Sheriff Lindsay Gold had spent the day hiking with her son, Dillon, on their property. She wanted to show him that although strange things had happened where they lived, nothing was there now. She had hoped she would be so tired after spending the day in the woods that she would sleep through the night for the first time in a very long time, but it hadn’t worked. She was now sitting on her front porch. It was a beautiful, clear, unusually warm night. It was still technically winter and nearly sixty degrees at almost midnight. She had slept for a couple of hours before being awakened by another nightmare, and was unable to go back to sleep. She wished that her husband, Wren, were there with her, not that he could fix what was wrong, but he always made her feel better just by being there. She was looking up at the stars and letting her mind wander when her cell phone rang. She looked at it and saw that it was the sheriff’s department. The only time her department would call her that

51: Secrets Chapter 1 Part 2

Lindsay arrived at the scene to find what felt like half of her department. Before getting out of her car, she saw Andy, Cat, Viktor, and Annie near Viktor’s personal vehicle. As soon as she stopped her patrol car, Cat began walking toward her with a puzzled look on her face. “What are you doing here?” Cat asked before Lindsay was even entirely out of her car. “What would make you think that I would not be here? You called the department, and they called me. So explain what happened. Cameron was not very clear on things,” Lindsay said. “It’s a little hard to explain. We had all been out to eat and were heading back to town. Viktor was driving, and Annie was next to him. Andy and I were in the back seat with Andy behind Viktor, and I was behind Annie,” Cat began. “We came around a corner, and out of nowhere, this shape began to appear in front of the car. It was almost like a mist of some kind. Viktor tried to miss it, but it passed through the car next to Annie and me on our right

“Hello?” John Lingerfelt answered his phone sleepily.“John, please don’t hang up. I need your help,” Lindsay said quickly.“I told you that I could not help you, my dear,” John told her curtly.“It’s not about the surveillance. Do you remember the pictures that I showed you in my office?”“I do.”“One of my deputies and one of my dispatchers just had a run-in with that thing that I called a ghost. It looks like they have frostbite. Is that even possible?” Lindsay asked.“Quite possible. Where are they now?” John asked, concerned.“We are all where it happened, but I will be taking them back to the department as soon as the deputy who is on duty gets here,” Lindsay told him.“OK, I will get to your department as soon as I can. I will bring what we will need to treat them,” John said.“Thank you, John. You have no idea how much I appreciate this,” Lindsay said as she saw her deputy pull up behind her and turn on the patrol car’s light bar.“You are welcome, Lindsay. I will see you soon

“Darn right, I did. Jenny raised a house full of boys and puts up with me. If she says she wants to go see a movie, I take her to the movies, and I don’t even ask what it is that she wants to watch,” Big Bob said, smiling. “We now have proof that you are smarter than you look,” Little Bob laughed. “Of course, that doesn’t take too much, does it?” Lindsay rolled her eyes and said, “As much fun as it is to pick on Big Bob, we need to get back to the topic at hand, and that is Rich not showing up for work. I also want to know how your hand is, Cat.” Cat, who was sitting at her desk, placed both hands in front of her and began to look at them. She looked at her palms and the backs of her hands, making fists a few times before she answered. “My hand is fine now. It’s still a little cold, but that’s all. The circulation seems to be good, and I have normal sensation in it again,” Cat answered. “Do you mind if I check on Annie and help John if he needs it?” “No, go ahead, Cat. They could
