WOLF LAKE

"Welcome to the lake"

It was finally night outside as a lone rider was running through the winding road like a fish in water, he was determined to find the love of his life that had been missing for such a long time. He knew that this must be the way that he was told by a stranger that said she would be here in some small town way outside Seattle; he had hit the gas on the old motorcycle and began to speed up rushing through the road. His name was John Kanin and he was looking for his fiancé Ruby Wilder who disappeared over six months ago he didn't let too many people about his plans or whereabouts; all of that went through his mind as he kept going on eventually he noticed a wooden sign in a shape of a lake that read, "Welcome to Wolf Lake". John knew that had to be the place where Ruby was, he began to pick up the pace of the motorcycle as he headed down towards the small town.

One month later,

The rain had finally come to a stop leaving a nice gray sky, a rarity for the area but it was nice cloudy day, a loud exhaust note was echoing throughout the woods the driver was on a mission; he was looking for a missing person also his friend and former partner from the Seattle police department. The man he was looking for was John Kanin a man who went looking for his fiancé a month ago; the driver had received a message a day before John left based on a hunch from a stranger. Just yesterday the driver had heard that he had not been found yet and it was up to the Seattle police to try to find him or in this case the driver. After a few minutes of driving the driver saw a lone figure just standing there on the side of the road like it was lost or something; he decided to slow down and hope that this man would help him with directions to this town known as Wolf Lake. He slowed down just enough to be right in front of the man; "Afternoon, I'm wondering if you can point me in the right direction. I'm looking a town called Wolf Lake; I'm not very familiar with this area and I don't know if this is the right way or not?" the driver asked. The man that the driver was talking to had a cold look on his face like something had been bothering him; "What business do you have coming into my town, I don't want any problems or any kind of trouble." said the man, "No trouble at all, I'm looking for my friend, see he disappeared a month ago and all that he told me that he was heading to a small town outside Seattle that's all." explained the driver. The man standing was thinking about the answer, "I see, I hope that you're not the type of person that would bring trouble so I'll help you out; just keep going down this road and you should just enter the main town." explained the man.

"Thanks I gladly appreciate it. Hope I can find what I'm looking for." said the driver; before he starting pulling away the man asked, "I'm sorry I didn't catch your name young man?" "The name is Shawn Miller and your name is." asked Shawn, "My name is Will Cates; I run a brewery here in Wolf Lake and hope you enjoy your time here." Will said introducing himself as well. Shawn finally pulled away leaving the man on the side of the road where he found him in the first place, Will waited until Shawn had been completely out of sight so he wouldn't see what was hiding amongst the quiet town. He began to walk down a path that seemed routine to him for a long time, just a little time to clear his head from what he had done today; Will knew that it wasn't necessary to do what he did. Killing his younger brother wasn't on his agenda for today but he had no other choice; he had finally stopped just over by the wood line looking down and began to relax and set his mind on running. Will took in a deep breath and quickly changed into his wolf form and began to run though the forest like it was is; his mind and spirit was all one, all those problems from earlier in the day had all gone away the moment he became a wolf. Nothing else had mattered at that moment, it was just him and the woods surrounding him; he had kept running until something had stopped him dead cold right in his tracks. He was back as his human form caught in a bear trap like a hunted animal, he struggled but it wouldn't budge, Will had looked up to hear the sound a pistol clicking as it was ready to end the life of Willard Cates he knew that someone who end his life soon after all he was going to die anyway. He didn't get a good look of his killer due to the fact Will closed his eyes and muttered, "Thank god," as a loud bang echoed throughout the woods; Shawn wasn't too far away from Wolf Lake maybe a couple of minutes away but far away from the death of a man who he only met not too long ago.

Shawn felt a sharp pain in the back of his head like someone hit a hammer to it and made him wonder what had caused it but he shrugged it off and kept focusing on driving, it was getting pretty late out and Shawn knew that rest was needed soon. Shawn took a quick over the mirror to see if he was still there; he also looked at his brown eyes thinking what kind of mess that was waiting for Shawn. He finally saw a sign the read "Wolf Lake" in big letters meaning that he had finally made it without any kind of problems, Shawn started to slow down to compensate the speed zone as he entered the town. He had to look for the authorities to use as a starting point for the search, Shawn found a parking spot over by a small building that had a sign that said; "Sherriff's Department" and thought this must be the place. He parked his car and got out and took a look around the area; Shawn noticed a hotel plus a diner and something rather of a large, wooden statue of a wolf which made Shawn said, "Kanin what the hell did you get yourself into now." saying out loud. He headed to the sheriff's office to see if anyone was there; he opened the door and began to look around. "Hello is there anyone here?" he asked aloud trying to get someone's attention; "Hello, anyone here or is it just dead in here?" he asked again with no response, Shawn was about to give up and leave until he heard a voice. "Yes how can I be any help to you today?" asked a voice, Shawn turned around to see who it was; it was a older man most likely the head chief and hopefully someone useful. "Yes I'm looking for a man who used to work for the Seattle police department, he went missing about a month ago and also he told me that he was heading to a town called 'Wolf Lake' any idea?" asked Shawn. The man looked a little puzzled, "Do you know what his name is?" he asked; "His name is John Kanin he's around the age of twenty five, about six feet tall has black hair," Shawn was explaining and the sheriff interrupted. "That's enough detail, thanks but I really haven't seen anyone matching the description."

"I'm sorry sheriff," said Shawn, "Sheriff Matt Donner; I'm the chief of police here in Wolf Lake county and I'll tell you again, I believe that I haven't seen anyone that you are describing, young man." he said again; "I'm sorry that I forgot to introduce myself but I'm Sergeant Shawn Miller of Seattle police and John Kanin's friend who is trying to find a missing man and this was place he said that he was going." explained Shawn getting a little frustrated by the sheriff. "Well in that case Sergeant, from one professional to another; I'm telling you that people go missing everyday and some are found and some aren't. So don't get offended by when I say that John Kanin isn't here." Matt explained. Now Shawn was upset, "Then what use of me was it to come all the way here to find out that he isn't here then?" he asked with Matt responded with a shrug of his shoulders. "Well that's no help, and don't think I won't be leaving soon until I can make it worth my while." he said as Shawn left the office. Matt stood there for a few seconds until he said aloud, "He'll be back sooner than he thinks." Shawn began to walk over to his black Impreza STi and was thinking that he should head over to that diner not too far from here. Shawn decided to do so and got in and drove over to the place that looked like a lodge with a diner inside; after the quick drive Shawn got out and noticed an orange Dodge Challenger that it looked like it was from the seventies, he entered the diner and began to scope out the place. He noticed that the place was decent not too many people, some kids playing pool others eating; he took a spot over by the table closest to the cook and saw the waitress who gave him a small smile. "Afternoon do you want anything to drink?" she asked, Shawn noticed her brown hair closely resembling the sheriff he just met; "Yes just water will be fine." he answered, she went over to get a glass.

"You know what they say about the water in a place you're unfamiliar with?" asked a stranger who was sitting right next to Shawn, "Excuse me are you talking to me, cause I'm not sure?" Shawn asked back as he was handed the glass of water; "In deed I was, but aren't you going answer my question." said the man who seemed to full of wisdom. The man that Shawn was talking to had dark gray hair was about the age of sixty and was possibly Native American, almost like his friend; "Fine I'll play along, what they say about the water?" Shawn asked, "Stay away from it, you'll get sick." he said lightly laughing at his own joke. "I'm sorry but who the hell are you?" he asked again, "The name is Sherman Blackstone I'm the science teacher at the school here also I'm a close friend of the owner brewery here." Sherman said with a small smile introducing himself. "How does the whole water thing have to do with anything?" he asked, "Well, I thought you would appreciate some sort of warning just in case." Sherman explained; Shawn raised an eyebrow, "What does that mean?" he asked again. "Just a consideration, that's all and besides you look a little disappointed in something." the old man asked trying to figure out the stranger that walked into town, Shawn was a little disappointed that he wasn't be able to find his friend and had difficulty with the local sheriff he wasn't sure if Shawn could trust this stranger. "Well I am somewhat disappointed in something," he began, Sherman was listening "Well I came here to find someone who had been missing for a about a month now and I asked the sheriff here; he was no help at all so what was the whole point of coming here in the first place. I don't know I'm just going to stay here for awhile to see if he really is here or I'm just might be going crazy or something." Shawn explained.

The old man was silent thinking about what Shawn had just said, "Well I can see your problem, you see the sheriff is always uptight. It's all a part of his job, the one second he relaxes this whole town would go wild." he explained. "How does that help me out in any way?" Shawn asked not really sure about the answer. "Well it tells you that the sheriff Donner has a lot on his mind recently and he doesn't have much time to deal with missing persons." Sherman explained once more elaborating on what he had said. "So what do you think I should do?" he asked; "More like, what should you do?" the old man asked back making Shawn think. He sat there for about a good minute as he thought up a plan, "This is what I'm going to do, I'm going back over there and be a little more demanding. This is a missing person; this is no time to argue or dismiss the fact." Shawn said as he got up and began to head out saying thanks to the old man. As Shawn was leaving he said three men walking glaring at him as they passed noticing that one was wearing a business type suit; that wasn't important at that moment all that mattered was going back and talking to Sheriff Donner. As Shawn was walking back to his car, he stopped dead in his tracks as flashes of running through the woods had come across his mind for a second; he was unsure on what that was but continued to the car, but something had stopped him this time. "Shawn? Shawn is that you; what the hell are you doing in Wolf Lake?" asked a man that Shawn knew who it was instantly; he looked right at that man he was looking for with the sheriff looking innocent. The man that addressed Shawn was none other than John Kanin.

Well, that does it for the first chapter. Stay posted for more from this fic and I hope that you liked it so far because it's only going to get better!
