The sheriff's hunt chapter 52
Tom slammed his cellphone shut, his face contorted with anger. His daughter, Emily, had just informed him that she was going to see Father John at the church. The thought of her venturing into a place of worship sent shivers down his spine, filling him with unwarranted rage.Sensing his distress, Martinez, Tom's colleague and confidante, walked over and gently patted him on the back. "Hey, buddy," she said cautiously, "Is everything okay? You seem overly angry."Tom took a deep breath, struggling to keep the boiling fury within him under control. "Emily… Emily went to see Father John at the church," he replied, his voice laced with a mixture of anxiety and anger.Rachel, another colleague who had been engrossed in her work nearby, overheard their conversation and raised an eyebrow. "Wait, Tom, isn't that the same church people go to on Sundays? Why are you so worked up about Emily visiting Father John?"Tom's voice trembled as he tried to explain himself. "I don't know, Rachel. It's j

When Rachel was done walking away, Tom stepped into the room and shut the door behind him.Emily tried talk, but Tom wouldn't let her. "Me first, Emily." Tom said and Emily went ahead to sit on her bed."About earlier... I wasn't angry at you, I wasn't trying to get you angry either. I was having a bad morning and when I heard you weren't at home, I couldn't just take it." "I understand, dad." Emily replied him, attempting to end the conversation before it even began."No, let me finish. I know you think of me as being overprotective and not knowing boundaries, but trust me, I'm only doing all these out of love and concern, and this morning I got to the office and saw more reasons why I need to be more protective of you." Tom explained with tears welled in his eyes.Emily who was casual about the conversation, became overly concerned in a split second. "What happened, dad?" "I went to the office this morning to meet two of my officers dead in a horrible manner. I won't be able to fo

As Martinez, Rachel, and Lisa sat in the living room, engaged in idle conversation, they couldn't help but sense the tension lingering in the air after Emily's conversation with her father, Tom. The weight of their words weighed heavily on everyone's minds, leaving room for anticipation to grow.Emily and Tom emerged from her room, finally concluding their discussion. Before they could take a breath, Tom's phone began to vibrate insistently on the coffee table. He picked it up and glanced at the caller ID, recognizing the name of the governor's representative, Mr. Bolton. Tom hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether to answer or not, but he knew it was important and finally pressed the accept button."Hello, Mr. Bolton," Tom's voice resonated with a mix of curiosity and concern. As the conversation ensued, his eyes darkened, and his forehead furrowed with worry. "Alright, I'll be right there," he concluded and hung up the phone, his mind processing the urgency behind Mr. Bolton's

After the meeting, Mr. Bolton left the station and headed into his car. "Drive!" He yelled at the driver and immediately, the driver kick-started the car.Mr. Bolton brought out his phone and dialed the governor's phone, after ringing for what seemed like an eternity the called was finally picked, but by the governor's secretary. "Hello, who is this?" the secretary asked on the phone."Mary, you better redirect this call to the governor before I lose it!!" Mr. Bolton yelled at her so loud the the driver shook."Okay... okay, sir." Mary replied, shakingly. Then, she beeped the telephone to redirect the call to the governor."Bolton?" The governor said as he picked the call."Yes, sir. I just left the station, sir." Bolton replied the governor with a much calm voice compared to the way he spoke to Mary and his driver, earlier."So, what's what? Any update from Tom?" The governor asked in anticipation of a good work or maybe a lead."No, you know how calm Tom is, that's why I don't like

The first day Marcus met with Emily, he sniffed her werewolf nature right away, he knew what or who she was and since then, have looked for a way to add her to his list of young werewolves.He liked Emily's aura and there was something about her that always drew him to her and he always felt like she can help him make the pack stronger.Marcus knew that if Emily was in his pack, it might spring up some sort of sentiment on Tom, because if Tom's daughter was in the pack, Tom wouldn't want to do anything to hurt his daughter. So, Marcus called a meeting for all his young werewolves."Good day to you all. I'll cut to the chase, I want you guys to bond with Emily, you all know her right?" Marcus asked before he'd continue his speech and they all replied "Yes!" Their voices in one accord."So, she is a werewolf like us, I don't know if you all have noticed it, yet. I want you guys to entice her, be friends with her and convince her to join us. I know she is quite alone now and every wolf

While the meeting was still on and everyone was still sharing their ideas and theories. One of the officers yelled "What about werewolves?" From the middle of the crowd of officers in the room and everyone turned their eyes to him."Yes, those attacks look like what werewolves could do. Look at the claw marks, look at the bite on the necks of the victims, if those are not werewolves then, I don't know what it is." Another person said, to support the previous theory."And has it ever occurred to you all that those bite marks might be something else? I know vampires bites on their victims neck, too." Hank countered the theory and idea that it might be werewolves."Well, I know that vampires don't have claws, they'd have gone for the heart and the victims hearts are all intact. Moreover, vampires have kind of been extinct or what should I call it? Like a myth." Another person spoke against Hank in support of the previous theory."Why are you all supporting this theory when it's so unreal

Tom glanced up from his desk as Martinez and Rachel sauntered into his office. He had just finished a phone conversation with Lisa. Martinez, always the joker of the group, wasted no time in teasing Tom about his chat with Lisa."So, Tom, how's Lisa? Whispering sweet nothings in your ear, huh?" Martinez chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes.Tom rolled his eyes, trying not to let his irritation show. Martinez was always pushing his buttons, and today was no different. He knew his colleagues meant well, but sometimes their joking went too far. With a forced smile, he replied, "Lisa is fine, thank you. Just catching up on some weekend plans."Rachel, ever the diplomat, sensed Tom's discomfort and decided to shift the conversation in a different direction. "Hey, Tom, speaking of plans, did you talk to Hank about the werewolves' allegations?"Tom's expression grew solemn, memories of his unsettling encounter with the alleged werewolf flashed in his mind. He shook himself out of his re

During the night as Tom was still doing some investigations and findings in his room, everything he came across kept on pointing at werewolves and he had no option than to call Martinez despite it being the middle of the night.He picked up his phone from the table and dialed Martinez's number, but it took more than while dial for Martinez to pick up, but when she finally picked up, her voice made it evident that she had already slept off as she made sounds of yawning and stretching, her voice barely above whisper."I'm so sorry, Martinez for calling you by this time of the day, I just needed someone to share my theory with. I'm still pretty convinced that these attacks are caused by werewolves..." Tom stopped speaking as he wasn't receiving any response from the other end. "Martinez, are you there?" He asked."I'm here, just listening. Go on, please." Martinez assured Tom as she cleared her throat and sat up right."You're not usually this quite, you know?" Tom said, trying to make s
