In a manner of speaking. 🤭

Thomas has walked through the world as a Ghost, no connections, he can't do that again. He's too old now, he'd lose his mind without Jenny and Addie to create a home rather than a sparse, empty apartment.

His heart breaks. But he's used to making tough decisions no one wants to make.

Aiden has never known him. Lives a good life. Maybe he would be better off without this turmoil. Thomas wants to really meet him, know him, explain himself, but he also can't risk putting his wife and daughter in danger. He can't lose his tether to normality or risk losing himself.

Not subtle. Not suggestion. That was a threat. His boss doesn't resort to flat out threats unless he has to. Which scares Thomas more than he can say.

He can give up a relationship with Aiden, or risk possibly putting Jenny and Addie in danger. Or be forced to lose them, too.

Pain and sadness are warring emotions within him. Thomas was close to getting to know his son, finally. He knows so little about him. And now he's basically being told that's a danger.

Thomas also worries about his daughter. His sweet, naive, impulsive daughter.

Five more people. Five more people know about his curse, his 'ability'. He never thought about that. He's always been so successful because no one remembers him. And therefore no one can get to him.

Jenny and Addie have both been sworn to secrecy, but Aiden? Who might he tell?

Thomas feels both rage and fear at the texts that come through from his boss. They know he can and will make good on his threats. If anything happened to Aiden, he'd avenge him.

But he also knows that his boss has more power than most in the department.

Thomas has always tried to keep his private life as separate from his work as possible. While it's not surprising they know about Aiden, it makes him feel uneasy. The last thing he wants is any of his work to get near any of his family.

As soon as the text comes through, Thomas knows who it is. Most likely his boss at work. The question makes his blood run cold in a way he's not used to anymore.

After he deals with Addie, Thomas knows he needs to speak to Aiden, but he's not even sure where to start.

A glance around his room proves to be no help. The buzzing of his cellphone from his pocket distracts him though, and he frowns when he sees a text from Unknown.

The last train Thomas can get out to Chestnut Ridge runs through the night but he promised Addie he'd be there by morning. He is furious she ran away, but grateful in a way that she did some of the hard work for him.

There will be an update a little later today, but it'll be a little different. I might be experimenting with my posting style a little, starting with this one, so that's why!
November 16, 2025 at 4:33 PM
And that's it! Just a quick little update to wrap this up.

Next update I'll be wrapping up a different storyline... 😏👀

D: You ok?

C: Yeah. Think I'm going to see if I can grab a train back to Granite Falls.

D: Thanks for your help, with all of this.

C: Of course. Any time. Maybe you can come out to Sulani next time.

D: I'd like that. I have some vacation time.

C: You know where I'll be.

C: Wasn't easy, but it was fine.

D: How long did you live here?

C: Couple'a years, at least. I was trying to find a cure. Figured this would be the best place for it.

D: Huh.

C: What?

D: My friend, that I got the cure recipe from, lives here.

C: Hm. Yeah. Packs keep to themselves.

#calderhart

C: You don't want to call the local cops, ask about this?

D: Nah. I needed to know what happened. Now we know. We need to find the daughter though.

C: I won't be any help with that.

D: No worries, I'll take it from here. I appreciate your help, I know this must have been hard.

C: He figured out what I was.. when I was leaving, he asked me to turn him.. he wanted revenge. I told him no way in hell. He didn't take it well.

D: I guess he got what he wanted.

C: And couldn't control it. He got what was coming to him.

#calderhart
November 8, 2025 at 6:29 PM
D: You can't tell?

C: Mm. There's another scent, but it's faint, jumbled, I can't get a bead on it.

D: Who was this guy, Chase? How do you know him?

C: Well, he was my landlord. Vinnie is the only name I have for him. He never said and I never asked his last name.

#calderhart
November 8, 2025 at 6:22 PM
C: Yeah. It wasn't as neat as they make it seem. This was a messy kill. Something driven by anger and revenge, not someone taking out a rogue werewolf.

D: Our missing girl?

C: Maybe. She could have turned.

When they get closer to the office, the police barriers become more obvious. Chase wrinkles his nose at the smell.

D: Well, something happened here.

C: Yeah, someone took care of the wolf we're hunting.

D: You can tell?

#calderhart
November 8, 2025 at 6:16 PM
D: Was it always this.. quiet?

C: No.. no, this is unusual. This place was at least half full when I left.

D: Come on, lets look around.

C: The office is on the other side, lets check there first.

It takes a bit to get from Granite Falls to Moonwood Mill, so Chase and Derrick arrive at the run down hotel in early afternoon.

D: You lived here?

C: Yep. It was cheap, they didn't ask questions.

#calderhart
November 8, 2025 at 6:10 PM
I don't have fancy end cards, but that's all for my update for now.. hopefully we'll get to Moonwood Mill soon!
November 1, 2025 at 4:26 PM
The kids are adorable and Derrick doesn't want to interrupt him, but he needs to ask a question.

D: You going to be ok to travel tomorrow?

C: Yeah, we can leave in the morning, no problem.

W: For now you can stay for dinner, help Chase keep the kids occupied.

D: Yes, sir.
