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

Tom paced nervously in his living room, his mind racing with thoughts of the impending danger that lurked in their quiet town. He had invited his closest friends over for a discussion, hoping to devise a plan to protect their community from the bloodthirsty werewolves that ravaged the town every full moon. As the murmur of conversation filled the room, Tom took a deep breath and addressed his friends."Thank you all for gathering here today," Tom began, his voice laden with a mix of urgency and determination. "I have been doing some research, and it seems that using mountain ash on the doorsteps of every building in town could potentially stop the werewolves from causing harm during the full moon."Martinez, one of Tom's trusted advisor, leaned forward, her gaze focused intently on Tom. "Mountain ash, huh? That's an intriguing idea. Considering its folklore, it just might work. I would say it's a long shot, but it's worth it. You know we've only heard that mountain ash stops werewolve

The full moon hung high in the night sky as the members of Marcus's pack gathered in their secret meeting spot deep within the woods. The air crackled with anticipation as they awaited the arrival of their alpha, Marcus. He was a tall, broad-shouldered werewolf with a commanding presence, and the respect of his pack was evident in their eager expressions.Marcus finally came out of the shadows, out from one of his rooms, he scanned through the whole room, staring deep into eyes of his pack members. There was tension in the air and it was very obvious, everyone was concerned by what Marcus was about to say. They had thought by now Marcus would have addressed the Emily's behavioural issue at the last meeting and maybe today was the day."You all wonder why I called this meeting, right? We have a serious case on our hands. People who we thought of as less threats have been making moves. And it's not something we can overlook." Marcus said, his voice almost like he was afraid of somethin

The sun had gone down, no trace of it left in the sky and now, they stars had began to come out, twinkling in the dark sky. After the long day at work, other officers had left, but Martinez had waited behind for Tom as they had another one of their home investigation meetings. When Tom was done closing up, he and Martinez both shut down the office and left for Tom's house. Together, they took in the stroll of the town as they walked home. Their movements, side by side and slowly, almost like they were staggering.They were getting close to Tom's place and just a few houses away. Tom took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Lisa's number while he blushed, unintentionally.Martinez tries looking at Tom's phone to see who he was trying to call, but Tom wouldn't let her. "You know I don't need to look at your phone to know who you're calling, right?" Martinez said."And who might that be?" Tom asked."I know it's Lisa you're calling, silly." Martinez said."You really think you know a

Tom had shared a radical plan to use mountain ash, a powder known for its supernatural properties, to create a barrier powerful enough to keep the werewolves contained. The mere thought of such a plan filled Hank with a renewed sense of purpose and hope. Finally, he could make a difference, protect his interest, and prove to Marcus, the alpha of the pack, that he was more than just a liability.Taking long strides, Hank reached Marcus's place, the overwhelming mansion nestled among tall pines. His knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists, anticipation mixing with frustration. He wanted to confront Marcus, demand answers to why his pack had become so reckless, and maybe even convince him to put an end to the bloodshed.As he swung the cabin door open, Hank's eyes met Marcus's smirking face. "You!" he spat, anger bubbling beneath his words. "How could you let this happen, Marcus? People know now. They know that werewolves are responsible for the attacks."Marcus's laughter cut thr

He knew he had to tell everyone about his new plan since, they can help him to enforce it and make it work. On his way to the hall, he decided to meet Martinez at her office first.Tom’s footsteps echoed through the hallway as he approached Martinez's desk. With a sense of urgency, he called out, ""What's up, Martinez? Gather everyone at the station. I need to address them immediately. We have a meeting and I have a little piece of information I need to pass in this meeting." Tom asked, as they exchanged pleasantries.Martinez glanced up, her eyes wide with curiosity. ""Very well, Sheriff. Why are you headed to the hall? Tom, what's wrong, huh?" Martinez asked, trying to satisfy her curiousity. Tom got closer to her on her seat then, he reduced the tone of his voice. "We are slowly near

Tom, on his way to work had met some werewolves, but he didn't recognize them to be werewolves until one of them glowed his eyes during their conversation.Tom’s heart raced as he made his way to work, his mind unable to shake off the encounter with the mysterious group of werewolves. Their warning about his daughter, Emily, being in danger had shaken him to the core. He had always known that his daughter being part of Marcus’s pack came with its risks, but he had never imagined that his own flesh and blood would be used as a pawn.Unable to focus on anything else, Tom decided to stop by some shops along the way to work, hoping to clear his mind. Before Tom got to the shop*Tom had taken a turn from the bustling road of the town to a corner not too far from the station.It was then that destiny played its hand, leading him to a group of individuals huddled together in an alleyway.

After sharing cups of coffee to both Martinez and Rachel, Tom barely took a sip out of his own cup. The room then fell silent and Martinez couldn't give up the chance of teasing Tom about Lisa like she did all the time. A wide spread grin fell across her mouth and face as she rested her back on the couch, staring at Tom like she was looking to intimidate him."Tom?" Martinez called him, her eyes still focus on him."What is it?" Tom asked as he turned around to look at Martinez. "So, have you and Lisa...?" Martinez asked, eating some of her words and replace it with a sound of clearing her throat."Me and Lisa what?" Tom asked, curiosity all over his face."Have you Lisa... You know," Martinez said, raising her eyebrows up and down. Just then did Tom get what she was heading at.Rachel who had understood what was going on, kept laughing silently as she saw both of them going back and forth with each other.As Tom finally understood, he tried to sip from his coffee to overlook what Ma

Lisa's footsteps were heard through the corridor of the hospital as she matched on her heels with confidence and joy. Her heart was pumping with relief and gladness as the events of last night didn't bring any form of sadness or regret at the end of the whole show. From the moment Lisa stepped foot into the hospital, all her colleagues that were around turned their eyes to her and most of them were left in shock to see the big smile on her face.Sarah, a close friend and colleague, approached Lisa cautiously. Concern was etched across her face as she gently placed a hand on Lisa's arm. "Lisa, are you okay? We were worried about you after the way you left work yesterday. Did you find Emily? Is she safe?" Sarah asked, her voice showing a sign of worry.Lisa kept smiling as she spoke with Sarah. "Yes, of course. We found Emily and she was safe and still is. I kinda had a good morning with she and her father this morning."Sarah was relieved to hear it, as she sighed deeply. "That's grea
