"What are these?"Ichabod asked."Reminders. Of an old friend. Don't tell me you've forgotten your old friends."Jenny replied.

"Miss Jenny."Ichabod exclamed."Hey, stranger."Jenny greeted.

"Oh!"Ichabod exclamed in surprise."Abbie told me you were in to come see for myself."Jenny said.

"And Captain Irving?"Ichabod asked."He's adjusting,when they rung the bell Cynthia and Macey's magical powers came to the 've made peace with it."Jenny said.

"So... what exactly are we looking for?"Abbie asked."Ah. The bestiary texts. Preferably Voynich or Codex Serafini. Any that catalog mythological creatures."Ichabod replied.

"You're looking for a demon?"Jenny asked."Indeed we are. Specifically one that can manipulate fear."Ichabod replied.

"Ah. It's the lab report. So that red substance is mercury sulfide. Commonly known as cinnabar."Abbie said.

"Cinnabar."Ichabod replied."Cinnabar used to be used as a pigment in supernatural artifacts."Jenny said.

"The hides of certain demons are believed to contain high levels of it." including Yao-guai. A creature dating back to the Tang dynasty."Ichabod replied

"Here: "Known as battlefield demons. Drawn to the frenzy and energy of armed conflict. Most notably, they have the power to paralyze their victims with fear."Ichabod replied.

"Battlefield demon? What's it doing in Sleepy Hollow?"Jenny asked."Could it have killed Abraham?

"These demons are known to be servants, not masters."Ichabod replied."Meaning that someone summoned it here. Someone evil. Someone powerful. There is a new player in town."Jenny said.

"Benjamin Franklin's sketchbook. Franklin wrote of the survivors of a particular battle and their report of a horrific encounter with a red devil. I always assumed the term was a pejorative for the British Red Coats. Apparently, it was meant literally."Ichabod replied.

"Which battle?"Jenny asked."The battle of Bunker Hill."Ichabod replied."In the early going, Colonial losses at Bunker Hill were extremely heavy. According to Franklin, it wasn't just due to British firepower."Ichabod replied.

"You think a Yao-guai was present at Bunker Hill?"Jenny asked."It would explain the accounts."Ichabod replied.

"Colonial soldiers found a way to turn the early tide of the battle."Abbie said."But their fortunes only turned after General Washington was able to get a message to Colonel Prescott, who was leading the American message must contain the key to defeating the Yao-guai."Ichabod replied.

"Do Franklin's notes say what was in the message?"Jenny asked."No. They were top secret. Which is why Washington had it delivered by his most trusted operative...

"an agent highly skilled in combat and evasion...one who singlehandedly penetrated the British front line.

"Her name was Betsy Ross."Ichabod replied."Betsy Ross? The flag woman?"Jenny asked."Betsy was a little more than just "the flag woman." Her role as a seamstress was a cover. Betsy was a woman of many talents."Ichabod replied.

"So we've heard. Betsy and Crane kind of were a thing."Abbie said."We were not a "thing." She was my colleague, my compatriot, my partner. Often in crime."Ichabod replied.

"Mm-hmm. Sounds like a thing."Jenny said."A thing."Abbie replied."There may have been moments."Ichabod said.

"Smooth..."Abbie replied."Hardly. The point is, we must find out what was in the message Betsy carried. Unfortunately, very few artifacts survived Bunker Hill."Ichabod said.

"Okay. So we can start in the National Archives. With my FBI clearance, we should... Got it."Jenny replied.

"Pardon?"Ichabod asked."I found the message. I spent years recovering obscure artifacts from all over the world. This is what I do. Okay, so as far as I can tell, the message and that satchel ended up as part of Colonel Prescott's estate. They were passed down from owner to owner, until eventually being sold to an entertainment franchise company. Huh. It's in Colonial Times."Jenny said.

"We need it in the here and now."Ichabod groaned."No, no. I mean it's actually in Colonial Times."Jenny said.

"Miss Jenny. Good. I've decoded much of Betsy's message, but I may require some assistance interpreting it. Oh! Unless I'm interrupting."Ichabod replied.

"Oh, no, no, no, just... memory lane-ING it. I'm realizing something. I stole a lot of stuff. It's too bad "supernatural relic hunter" isn't something that looks good on a résumé."Jenny said.

"You've sought gainful employment."Ichabod replied."Employment, yes."I'm a self employed Private and his Son plus Faith and Sarah we're all you count those office supplies I swiped during my week as a paralegal."Jenny said.

"Finding a role and purpose in this world has rather occupied my thoughts, as well."Ichabod replied.

"Ah, yes. The message concerns the nature of the Yao-guai. Apparently, it is attracted by two things: The first trigger is aggression. It senses aggression the way a dog senses fear. The second trigger seems to be gunpowder."Jenny said."Perhaps drawn by the scent?"Ichabod asked.

"You said this thing was created during the Tang dynasty, right?"Jenny asked."Yes. That's when gunpowder was invented. Chinese alchemists were searching for the elixir of life, instead, they accidentally created gunpowder. So, if this beast was summoned during this process, it would naturally be drawn to it."Ichabod replied.

"Damn straight. Let's see a paralegal do that."Jenny said."Exactly. I have no idea what a paralegal is."Ichabod replied.

"Me, neither. Where's Abbie?"Jenny asked."She and her FBI colleagues have set out to ensnare an underworld Mandarin."Ichabod replied.

"You're saying a bunch of angry people with guns are gonna be bumping heads with a lot of other angry people with guns?In other words, perfect conditions for a Yao-guai attack."Jenny said.

"The FBI had launched a massive manhunt for Chang. They've pinned Granger's death on him."Abbie said.

"How were you able to drive it away?"Ichabod asked."It attacked, I shot and wounded it."Abbie said.

"You wounded it?"Ichabod asked."Yeah."Abbie replied."The Yao-guai's hide is supposed to be impenetrable. Unless you somehow found its vulnerability."Ichabod said.

"Its eyes turned white when it attacked, like a shark's."Abbie replied."White eyes... Of course. That explains the order Washington told Prescott to deliver to his men.

"Don't fire until you the whites of their 's what that means? Prescott was letting his men know when the monster was vulnerable."Ichabod said.

"Couldn't have been more than a few seconds."Abbie replied."It requires a coordinated attack. When the Yao-guai goes after one person, another watches its eyes and prepares to fire."Ichabod said.

"It requires found Chang. He's holed up at a warehouse at Port Chester. He's got hostages, and they're asking for me."Abbie replied.

"A standoff?"Ichabod asked."Uh-huh. If that escalates, it'll be catnip for the Yao-guai."Abbie replied.

"Go. We'll follow close behind with a plan of attack."Ichabod said."You keep me posted?"Abbie asked.

"Miss Jenny?"Ichabod asked."Guns, knives, things that go boom. We're back in the demon-fighting business, we're gonna need 'em."Jenny replied.

"Aggression levels are running high."There's been no gunfire."Ichabod said."That's why I brought .Can't catch a shark without chumming the water."Jenny replied.

" 's not working. We need to draw it away from there."Ichabod said.

"Well, that worked."Jenny replied."Right... I'll draw the monster near. You take the shot.

"Remember... do not fire until you see..."Ichabod warned."The whites of its eyes. Got it."Jenny said.

"Hold your fire!Nice Jenny!"Ichabod you okay?"Abbie asked."Yes. Yes. Thank you for... that."Ichabod replied.

"Here we go. On the house."Jenny said."Thank you. You keep giving us free drinks, you're gonna be out of a job."Abbie warned.

"Ah, Mike doesn't care. Or he wouldn't, if he knew. Wow. Crane does not seem to mind."Jenny replied.

"would never have believed that blueberry stout would work."Ichabod said.

"Well, looks like I'm getting refills."Jenny replied."Husband do you see,what I see?"Hera asked."Yes Pandora is here no doubt she is responsible for the recent deaths."Zeus replied.

"She doesn't know,we're here or any of the others are here."Hera said."No and she shall not learn of it."Zeus replied.

"We are glamored well,she doesn't sense the god in Abbie I'd say she can't see it in the others."Hera said.

Sam Corbin walks into the bar seeing his father sitting in between Sarah and Faith.

"Hey,Dad,"Sam greets."Hey Sam where did you come from?"Hank asked."I was keeping my ear to the group like you and Uncle August, taught me."Sam replied.

"That's good because you know this is just getting started."Hank said."Joe's at the hospital working in case something pops up there."Sam replied.

"We'll find out one way or another."Hank said."What's that, Crane has in front of him?"Sam asked.

"Tablets he brought back with him their interesting that's for sure."Hank replied.

"Agreed,"Sarah replied."Is it me or is this second tribulation a lot more complicated than the first"Faith asked.

"No It's not you the danger elevates to new first was a demon with an it's Pandora attacking with everything she can come up with."Sarah replied.

That night Jenny arrived at her trailer grabing a beer from her fridge unscrewing the top tossing in the top in the trash she flops down on her bed.

She tossed and turned as she she was used to meny sleepiness night's in the different foster homes she once lived in.

The next morning everyone met up at the archives."Hey Joe what are you doing here?"Jenny asked.

"It's my day off,so I thought I'd help."Joe replied."Well you know the more the merrier."Jenny said.

"Mortals believe Gods do not make mistakes,Athena created Pandora under my instructions."Zeus said.

"You didn't make,Pandora commit such grievous she will be stopped."Hera replied.

"Look at the way Joe is looking at Jenny."Sam said."Oh,yeah the boy has it bad."Hank said.

"He isn't the only one smitten, Crane seems to be enraptured by Abbie."Faith replied.

"He's been like that since the Succubus incident."Sarah said."Oh yeah,it truly rattled him."Faith replied.

"It will all work out."Hank said."So Crane's back I see."Joe said."Yeah, He seems like he's doing better than before he left."Jenny replied.

"He's got a tough road ahead, I used to think it was hard being a regular I realise being a witness,is alot harder than that."Joe said.

"Yeah,We all do."Jenny in the archives were pouring over books and papers.

Since the discovery of Grace Dixon's journal,they equally poured over it all the while awakening more so the powers in their blood.

"I don't know if August planned for a team of people,to help Crane and Abbie but I'm sure he knew they couldn't do this on their own."Hank said.

"I don't know dad,but we got their backs."Sam replied."I'll be back I'm grabbing Coffee and lunch for everyone."Joe said.

An hour later Joe came grabbed their orders and dived into their food.

"So I heard you were knocked out by the battle demon."Joe said."You know me, I'm like the energizer bunny takes a licken and keeps on tickin."Jenny Joked.

"Yeah a world without,Jennifer Mills would be pretty damn lame."Joe replied.

"Your a piece of work,Joe Corbin."Jenny laughed."Hey I'm just telling the Dad took a chance on Abbie he knew and accepted what differences would happen in his life."Joe said.

"That's the kind,of man he all no one asked Abbie if she wanted this it was thrust upon we choose to fight with them."Jenny replied.

"And you're right you know I love Abbie like she was my sister and Crane is like the brother I never had."Joe said.

"Yeah Crane is fun to tease."Jenny laughed."Did Abbie tell you about the video game thing?"Joe asked.

"Yeah she said,it was hard to not laugh at his outrage at being fragged."Jenny replied.

"Oh,I know it was hard for me too."Joe said."But inspite of that he's a good like you."Jenny replied.

They had researched,for hours and had taken a dinner the sun set on Sleepy hollow the group all went their separate directions for home.

Jenny sat in her truck for a few minutes unable to get Joe out of her of her past relationships had caused this feeling in her.

Not even Nick Hawley caused her stomach to flip or her heart to flutter the way Joe has been doing when ever he was near her.

As she got ready for bed with her gun on one side her phone on the other.

Suddenly she was seeing herself and Joe living together married and she and Abbie discovering themselves pregnant at the same time.

She had never before had dreams like this Abbie was the one who normally did.

"Husband I believe Jenny's soul is in fact trying to tell her where her heart lies."Hera said.

"Agreed she and Joe must face the true just as Ichabod and Abbie must."Zeus replied.

Joe lay in his bed dreaming of only Jenny there was a spark ignited between them that they both could feel.

Joe had wasted a lot of time in resentment even the girlfriends in his past couldn't cure it or his brief stint in the military.

But he was a different person a person who was in love with Jenny Mills.

His dreams were filled with visions of he wasn't the least bit disturbed by it.

As the next morning loomed on the horizon there was much to prepare for keeping tabs on Pandora and her potential next move while exploring the feelings developing between Joe and Jenny.

"Jenny you alright?"Faith asked."Yeah I'm good."Jenny replied."If you're sure."Faith said.

"Yeah I'm 's get to work."Jenny group once again set about working on the next attack that was sure to come while Abbie stepped out to do her work with the FBI as usual they would keep her updated and she would do the same should another body turn up.

"It had shook Abbie,to her core to see Martha Dixon frozen in stone though it was miracle that Galatia was kind enough to reverse the effects of the was not much better but after the shock had died down Abbiefound it far easier to get her in modern clothing than it ever was Ichabod.

Martha had been helping Cynthia and Macey Irving with their new abilities and was filled in about Ichabod's return the latest demon attack and what their next move would be.

"Welcome home Martha."Jenny greets."Thank you Jenny I'm glad to be go where we are needed."Martha replied.

"Has that always been our way?"Jenny asked."Yes Grace Dixon wasn't just helping people at the went where ever she was called where ever the supernatural danger was leaving havoc in it's wake."Martha replied.

"Since our childhood we saw how hard it tore Mama apart fighting demons we didn't believe in until those damn white trees sent us the memo."Jenny said.

"I understand completely Jenny,I took a risk going after that sword. I had to sacrifice never seeing my family again,so that the world could continue the fight, that god picked our family to fight.

"Do you know the difference between choice and Obligation?"Martha asked.

"Yeah,what about it?"Jenny asked."People on the outside looking in,could easily choose to walk away from not give it a moments, Ichabod and Abbie are obligated because if they decided that they didn't want to do this there is no one in the world who can stand against the evil and win."Martha replied.

"I get that I do."Jenny said."Good because with each tribulation it will only get worse."Martha replied.

"We'll be ready."Jenny said."Oh,and thanks for the cellular would have been useful to have these back then."Martha replied.

"Don't mention it we all need to keep lines of communication open."Jenny said.

Meanwhile Joe had been lost in thought remembering the dream he had of Jenny the night before.

"Hey Joe,you okay man?"Sam asked."Huh?Yeah Sam I'm fine."Joe replied.

"You seem to have Jenny on the brain."Sam said."So,She's beautiful and badass."Joe replied.

"You're right,about that Uncle August, trained her after all."Sam said."Dad,only brought out what was in them all along."Joe replied.

"That's true he just had to get them to realise I'm sure he would approve of you and Jenny."Sam said.

"Abbie and Jenny,were his daughters in all but blood."Joe replied."Yeah,and I believe he'd be over the moon."Sam said.

"Hera we stand,amongst people who aren't just soldiers in battle but are a family."Zeus said.

"That is,what makes them fight all the more harder."Hera replied."It evokes a passion in them that much is true."Zeus said.

"It can,only serve to work in their favour."Hera replied."Of course."Zeus said.
