Lindsay went back to cleaning up the office. She went to the supply closet to retrieve paper towels and a bottle of cleanser. Lindsay was going to sweep, but began to see debris on the desks. She could have told Hanna to do it, but after the shift she had, Lindsay thought she would do it instead. She heard the door chime and looked up to see Cat and Wren coming in. Cat looked around and asked, “What happened in here?” “Just a poltergeist, nothing to worry about,” Lindsay answered in a matter-of-fact tone. “I knew I shouldn’t have asked,” Cat said, taking off her coat. To Lindsay’s surprise, Cat wore a sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers. Her hair was back, and she was wearing little to no makeup. “Cat, are you feeling OK? I’m not trying to be mean, but I have never seen you look like this,” Lindsay said, standing up from the desk she was wiping off. Cat laughed, “That’s OK. I would ask the same thing if I were you. Since my dispatchers who should be coming in to work are unavailable

Yuri had been concerned about leaving his job as a police officer in the city to work for a small county sheriff’s department, but he was now glad he had made that choice. He loved being a police officer; it was the only thing he had ever wanted to be. The fact that he had been able to work with his brother made that even better. Now, he was getting to work with his brother and his little sister, Cat. The only thing that made it better was that his other love was all things paranormal. He loved everything about it. He had book upon book about events, creatures, and strange happenings. He was a true believer, so to him, the weirdness that had made others quit only made him want the job even more. Yuri was heading into an area near the national forest. Max had told him that he should never go into the woods by himself for any reason, ever. That made him want to go in and find out what he was talking about, but after what he had seen happen in the department, he knew he needed to heed t

When Lindsay pulled up in front of the department, Wren was getting out of Yuri’s car as she parked her car beside them. As she got out, she saw Wren open the back door for Yuri. He got out and walked into the building, leaving Wren standing in the rain. Lindsay walked over to him, and all he did was shake his head. “We will talk inside,” Wren said as they walked to the door. Wren asked after they were all inside, “Yuri, are you sure you are alright now?” “Oh yes, sir, I feel fine now,” Yuri answered. “Bob, I hate to ask you to do this in the rain, but I need you to pull the dash camera from his car so we can review it,” Lindsay told Little Bob, then followed Wren to her office. Wren was waiting for her when she walked in and closed the door. They both sat down and just looked at each other across the desk. “Did you do something to him in the car?” Lindsay asked. “No, I didn’t. After just a couple of minutes in the car, he began to, I don’t know, wake up, might be the right w

As they drove to the location where the creature had been reported, Lindsay began receiving text messages telling which schools were closing early because of the storm. Just as they reached the scene, she received a text saying that Dillon’s school was closing at 1 p.m. She did not want him to be at the house alone because of the storm, but she also did not want him at her department after this morning. She pulled into the driveway for the address Cat gave them. It was an old house that had been empty for as long as Lindsay could remember. It was at least fifty years old and had mostly fallen in on itself. Lindsay watched as Wren and Viktor pulled their cars in beside hers and parked. She got out first and listened for a moment. All Lindsay could hear was the rain falling and hitting her hat. She took it off and threw it back in her car. If it meant she could hear, she would take the wet hair. Lindsay slowly moved toward the front of her car and stopped again to listen, her hand on

Lindsay looked at her watch and realized she needed to call and check on her son, Dillon. She pulled her phone out of her pants pocket and dialed the home number. It rang several times before it went to voicemail. She was beginning to worry as she dialed his cell phone number. It, too, rang repeatedly before going to voicemail. The school had let out at 1:00 p.m., and it was now almost two. He should be home. Just as she hung up the phone, there was a knock on her door. She looked up to see Wren. She got up and opened the door for him without a word, walked back to her desk, and sat down. Wren came into her office and closed the door behind him.“Lindsay, I am sorry. I did not know about that thing. I will go on base and pull every file of everything that has ever been there. Before this incident occurred, my job was mostly coordinating captures in other areas of the country or sitting at a desk and playing solitaire. My job was to control any situation and capture anything if it esc
