Emily chuckled and looked down back at the television which was blank at the moment. "Detective Martinez said she saw you at the hospital, was that true?" Tom asked again and this time, Emily sat back and looked at her father mysteriously."Did you think she lied to you? At least, she is one of your officers, people you trust, so why are you doubting now?" Emily asks and Tom sighs and looks at her."Emily, it's not like I am questioning your movement but I just want to know why you showed up at the hospital!" Tom said and Emily chuckled."Don't be too happy, I didn't come to check up on you!" Emily said and rolled her eyes."I know, I get it, but I want to know, did you receive a message, like an anonymous message these days. Have you noticed people coming after you or spying on you?Who have you been seeing or what have you been doing?" Tom asked before Emily laughed out loud."Really!, Dad!, I didn't know my simple care would cost me my freedom, I wouldn't have shown up at the hosp

"Who?" Martinez asked and Hank was happy he could stir up their emotion but not for Tom. He was with a blank face all through.Hank passed the letter to Tom and Tom could see the seal of the letter wasn't broken yet. He chuckled and looked at Tom before returning his head to the letter and tore the seal.He read through the letter without voicing out and when he was done he placed the letter on the table."Are you telling me, Sean's family has decided to sue me for killing their son, who is seen as a police friend, a witness to a crime scene?" Tom asked and Hank nodded."When did the letter come in?" Tom asked and Hank raised his face to look at Tom who looked like he wasn't the one the letter was referring to."It came ten minutes before your arrival," Hank said and Martinez was surprised. Her office was the closest to the main door and yet she didn't notice any mail man before Tom's arrival."Was it delivered by a mailman or representative!" Tom asked and Hank was confused by his qu

Tom rushed after her and went out and was shocked to see there were almost all the city youths in front of the station with protest papers in their hands.Tom didn't walk out of the station as he could see everyone from the see through entrance door.He sighs as he looks back at Martinez and gives her a questioning gaze."This was how we met them, they were quiet when I was walking out of your office with Hank but the moment Hank walked out of the station. The youths started yelling and they became violent.More like they were instigated to do so!" Martinez said and Tom was calm still.He looked back at the station and could see all the officers were up and eager to go out and put a stop to the youths' mess. Tom sighs and clears his throat."Officers, we have a more impending situation than to attend to these silly youths. We still have to look for the missing officer and his family members.We have to do that before the close of the day, which is like 4 hours to this time, so everyon

Emily screamed as she felt the wolf was coming nearer. She screamed again and again till the wolf was an inch close to her and she could feel its breath on her face and its eye color was green.She wanted to scream again and the wolf howled at her and her eyes opened immediately. She saw a stranger's eyes wide open and an inch close to her face."Arrrgh!" She yelled and kicked the person away. Emily's breathing was irregular and she was too shocked. She didn't stop screaming as she saw the person was struggling to stand up."Somebody help, somebody help me!" Emily was yelling but instead everyone stood still and kept looking at Emily who was struggling on the bench like she was tied and her headset on her head.She looks like someone who is mentally derailed and most of the parents started pulling their children and running away."Help me!" Emily yelled as tears were rolling from her eyes."Emily!It's me!" The voice said but Emily didn't pay attention. She screamed again until she fel

An hour before Emily left Alex at the ice cream stand. Tom and Martinez were home waiting for the rest of the team to join for the night research.After waiting for a few minutes, the first doorbell rang and Martinez stood up to get the door. She checked and happily opened up and shouted her name aloud."Lisa darling, how are you doing?" Martinez asked and they hugged each other. "I am fine, look at me, coming straight from the hospital, I hope there is dinner, I could not grab one while coming!"Lisa said in a rush as she walked in. Martinez was laughing at how comfortable and loud she was like it was her own house. Martinez intentionally didn't make it obvious that the house was Tom's."Martinez, what did you cook?" Lisa asked and put off her shoes, then her lab coat. "And I can see, we have the same figure, can I have any of your space clothes before others show up?I can't have an overnight duty like this!" Lisa said loudly as she was walking into the house backwards and hit the c

Martinez nodded. "Agreed. And Tom, we need you to stay on this case. You have a personal stake in it now, and your insights could be invaluable."Tom sighed, but he knew the detective was right. He couldn't let his fear hold him back. "Okay, I'll stay on the case."As they left the crime scene, Tom couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the werewolf than they realized. He needed to find out what it was, before it was too late. Over the next few days, Tom threw himself into the investigation, working long hours and poring over files and evidence. Jane helped whenever she could, but she had her own job and responsibilities to attend to.Despite their efforts, however, they were no closer to identifying the werewolf. They had found no connections between the victims, and no witnesses had come forward with any useful information.Tom was getting frustrated, feeling like they were hitting a dead end. He needed a break, a fresh perspective.He decided to pay a visit to the loca

"Who are you?" Rachael asked Emily who was pretty shocked to see a lady opening their door. Racheal looks oddly familiar but she is still a stranger."Who are you?" Emily asked back and Racheal was very much speechless at the bold expression on Emily's face. Racheal anger turned to shut the door when Emily pushed her away."Where does this rude lady come from?" Emily asked aloud as she walked right inside and met her father and Martinez sitting in front of a load of files."Darling Emily, how are you?" Martinez said and walked to hug Emily, even with the short warm hug, Emily's expression didn't change from anger."Please, no one has answered what this rude lady is doing in my house!" Emily said, pointing at Racheal.Tom had no choice but to stand up and address the issue."Emily, I am sorry, I didn't inform you earlier, due to the curfew, we decided to have a research sleep over and these are my colleagues who are involved"Tom said and Emily didn't respond, she only stared at him si

"Well, we met at the hospital cafe and a few times at the coffee shop. I think you know there!, Maria's shop!" Lisa said and kept eating."If you ask me, I will say, she is quite loveable. She is also easy to deal with! Well I love her and I didn't realize you were family earlier!" Lid concluded and picked up the file."Belly is filled, let's get to work!" Lisa said without giving the lost Tom and Martinez breathing space."Okay, what do we have at hand?" Lisa asked and they all switched to the workaholic mood."I have the pictures of all you say!" Racheal answered Tom when he demanded the pictures she had taken over time. "Sheriff, have you noticed?" Lisa asked and Tom looked up with a confused questioning gaze."What's that?" He asked and everyone's eyes were on Lisa."The girls involved have a common feature, all have reported to the hospital before!" Lisa pointed out and Tom was surprised."Elaborate, miss Lisa!" Tom said as he found a new sheet and started joting it down."I onc
