Chapter 7
The lone white wolf walked along the dark forest ground, stopping at the sound of a twig snapping, it lifted its head up and sniffed the air.
The odor of a young female was heading straight for the lone wolf.
Then the wolf picked up another order and this one was a musky smell and from the smell of it was a huge male.
The lone white wolf knew it was no match for this male so it headed off in a different direction.
Once it was far away from the male then the female smells the lone wolf continue on its hunt.
" Yes mother I will call them tomorrow, ok love you too." the young lady said before hanging up her phone.
She put the phone into the small pouch that was around her waist, before she began to jog again.
The wolf began to follow the jogger and waited for good time to strike.
It also could smell the younger female but, before the jogger got off her phone the smell of the other female lift the area, which was fine because the wolf did not want to go chasing after it.
The young girl stopped when she heard a twig snapped behind her.
" What the . . . um . . . hello . . . oh my . . . HELP!" the girl screamed when she turned around and saw the huge wolf behind her.
The wolf showed its fangs and growled once before it jumped and attacked the young girl.
The next morning Bridgette came into the cottage and saw Seth sitting on the loveseat reading.
" Good morning, oh my someone is really dirty this morning, I take it you had a good hunt." Seth looked at the bloody site in front of him.
" Yes it was a great hunt, now am going to get this blood off of me." Bridgette walked pass her brother and headed for her room.
" Morning Gram." Seth said as Robertta came into the house.
" Morning is your sister home yet?" Robertta went over to the kitchen counter and put the basket down.
" Yes she just walked in and headed straight for her room." Seth said and did not want to tell his grandmother the look of his sister when she came home.
" Ok well I better get ready for work, why don't you go patrol the forest soon because it is clouding up and there is rain in the air, so if you can found something now before the rain washes away anything that came around during the night." Robertta headed for her room.
" Yes Gram, am leaving now you have a great day and I will see you later then." Seth put the book down on the end table and getting up.
Robertta nodded and watched her Grandson leave the house and headed out for the forest.
Seth was walking deep in the forest when the smell hit him.
He came to a small ditch in the forest and looked down and there lying next to the creek bed was a body.
" Oh damn, Bridgette what did you do." Seth said to himself.
Reaching into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone.
" Sheriff's department what is your emergency." the young deputy answered the phone.
" Morning Lynette is the sheriff in, I really need to talk to him please." Seth prayed that his uncle was working this morning.
" Yes he is one moment and I will connect you with him." Lynette said before pushing the button to the sheriff's phone.
" Yes deputy?" the sheriff said as he answered the phone.
" Seth is on line one, and he sounded upset about something." Lynette said before hanging up.
" Morning Seth is everything ok?" Lionel asked as he pushed the button for line one.
" Morning, no things are not ok, I need you out here there is another body." Seth looked around to make sure that he was the only one here in the area.
" I see why didn't tell Lynette about the body." Lionel asked as he picked up the folder that had the file on the latest body that was found at the park.
" Well I think Bridgette may had something to do with this body." Seth said.
" I see and what makes you say that for." Lionel picked up the photograph and looked at the blown up picture of the wounds of the jogger.
" Well she was out last night and when she came into the house I noticed that she was disheveled and she was covered in blood." Seth heard a noise coming from his right and he looked at area where the sound came from and saw a squirrel.
" Oh man, you know what I have to do, am on my way, and I will have Michael with me." Lionel put the photo back into the folder and closed it before standing up from his desk.
" Ok I will meet you guys by the gate, oh you will need the four wheelers to get the body out of the forest." Seth turned away from the ditch and began to head back to the house to get the ATV.
" Ok we will get the ATV." Lionel grabbed his hat and opened the door, and then walked out of the main room of the sheriff's office.
" Ok see you when you guys get here." Seth began marking a trail so that way he could lead the police and medical people to the area of the ditch.
Seth walked out of the forest and was coming to the barn just as Robertta was walking out of the house.
" Hey what is going on Seth you look like you saw something frightening?" Robertta followed her Grandson into the barn.
" You can say that there was another body and this time it was in the forest and Lionel and Michael are on their way here." Seth went over to the back of the barn and pulled the dust cover off of his ATV.
" Oh no, you don't think . . . you did tell me that Bridgette came home, just before, I came into the house . . . um what did she look like?" Robertta asked and having a very bad feeling that Bridgette did something really bad.
" She was disheveled and was also covered in blood, she was really covered in it too from head to foot and yes there was blood around her mouth too." Seth got onto the ATV and started it up.
" I see, I will pray that she did not do this killing, but I have a feeling that Lionel may have to put Bridgette in jail." Robertta watched Seth go over his ATV.
" Yeah I know, well I need to get to the gate and wait for the Sheriff and the Medical Examiner too. Love you Gram and I will let you know what is going on." Seth walked over to the door of the tack room and opened it up.
" Ok and if they take her away then I will close the shop and see what is going on with her, just keep an eye on things around here." Robertta turned and headed for the outside of the barn.
" Ok I will, and I will do a patrol every four hours and hopefully we can get to the bottom of what is going on around here." Seth grabbed his helmet before heading back to his ATV.
Robertta got into her car and headed for town and to her shop and just as she was entering the town rushing past her was Lionel and Michael as they raced towards her place.
" Hey wasn't that Robertta?" Michael asked as Lionel drove them right past the car coming from the direction they were heading for.
" Yes it is." was all Lionel said.
" So are you going to tell me where we are going?" Michael noticed that the jaw in Lionel's face was tightening up as he was thinking about something.
" I got a phone call and the call came from Seth, he found another body and Michael we may be arresting Bridgette for murder." Lionel turned to see his deputy have a shocked look come across his face.
" Oh my, but you really don't think that she did that do you?" Michael asked as Lionel turned his head back to face the road.
" I do not know . . . it will be determined by what Bridgette tells me." Lionel focused on the road in front of him.
" I did get a call last night from someone not too far from Robertta's place, they said something about seeing something huge running passed their house and across the street and ran off into the forest." Michael said as they got closer to the place where the caller said that they saw the creature that ran across the road.
" Really we need to talk to this person before heading to meet Seth." Lionel looked over to his deputy.
" Ok then turn in that drive way then it was Ms. Judy that called me and she was pretty upset about something." Michael pointed over to the drive way.
" Oh great, well here we go let's talk to her and see what she saw." Lionel pulled up to the small house and the front door opened up and a little older lady stepped onto the small porch.
Lionel and Michael got out of the car and walked up to the porch.
" Good morning Lionel, Michael thank you so much for stopping by please come inside." the little lady said as she looked around very nervously as she stood by the door.
" Morning Ms. Judy, thank you." Lionel said to the lady before taking off his hat and following the lady into the house.
Michael followed his boss and the three people went into the house and the lady told the two men what she saw last night.
Thirty minutes later Lionel and Michael pulled up to the gate and saw it was opened and Seth was waiting for them.
" Morning Sheriff, deputy we can head to the house first and unload your ATV before getting to where the body is located." Seth came up to the car and saw behind them was the medical examiner pulled up.
" Ok Seth lead the way." Lionel nodded to the younger man.
They all headed to the house and got their things together before Seth lead the team off into the forest and to where the body was laying.
