quickly. David gets a bit irritated and responds; don’t worry about it Michelle; what happed with the coroner? Nothing; they picked up the body and dropped me off here. I asked them when the autopsy would be done and they said they would let me know, she comments. And you know if we are going to be partners, we shouldn’t keep secrets from each other; she continues. Good to know; David comments, then sits at this desk.
The remainder of the evening is pretty quiet. No weird calls or crazy behavior. David decides to call it a night early. Michelle ops for the later shift and decides to stay and ride around on patrol the remainder of her shift. David agrees and asks Michelle to drop him off at home. On the way, David begins to talk to Michelle about where he went; listen Michelle, I’m not keeping secrets from you, I just have things going on you wouldn’t understand right now. Some pretty major things happened a year or so back and I’m still dealing with them. Nothing would make me happier to tell you all about it but, I can’t right now, he continues. Michelle understands and agrees to let it go as she drops him at his door steps.
Chapter 2 – A time to forget
David heads in the house exhausted from the day. He kicks off his shoes by the door and heads straight up to his bedroom. He sits down on the side of the bed and stares at the clock. It’s 11:50PM. He turns and glances out the window to see the most beautiful moon seen in weeks. He isn’t feeling as happy about the moon though. As he knows, the moment he dreads is about to occur. It’s happened now for the past two years at the start of a new moon. The pain doesn’t last long but those first few minutes are a zinger.
He lays across the bed on his back staring up at the ceiling; thinking about how this all began. He was out one afternoon searching for his girlfriend that had recently disappeared. All others had given up the search but he was determined to find her. It wasn’t quite dark yet but, you could see the moon in the sky as if it were the sun. With a stick in hand, he searched through the woods looking for any sign or clue of where she might be. It never occurred to him she left on her own, he really believed something happened to her.
As he got closer to the Mississippi River, he spotted a wolf across the water. He remembered wondering if Eileen might have been attached by a wolf. Maybe her body was somewhere lost in the woods or worse, she was still alive bleeding to death. The river was too deep to cross on foot so he went back to his house to grab a small boat.
By the time he got back to the river, the only light in the sky was the moon. He jumped in the small boat and began to paddle across. As he met the shore, he noticed the wolf was now joined by two others. With revolver in hand, he points it at the three wolves and begins to shout; hey, get out of here, I may not kill you all but I will take a few of you down with me now run, get! The wolves begin to back into the woods to not be seen. David continues to secure his boat and heads into the woods.
After walking about ten minutes, he notices through the thick of the trees an open field. Thinking Eileen might run there, he picks up pace to get to the field. When he arrives at the edge of the field, in the distance, there are about four wolves that he can see. Getting nervous as he doesn’t see a way out, he upholsters his gun again. In a matter of seconds, the wolves are a few feet from him. One of the wolves pulls away from the pack and begins to walk toward him. The others spread out and begin to surround him. At this point, David knew he was in trouble. He closes his eyes, cocks his gun and then everything goes black.
He woke up the next morning still lying in the field. As he gathers himself, he sits up to confirm his surroundings. He stands to his feet and begins to check his body for injuries surprised he is even alive. He notices there is blood on his shirt but not cuts or
