"Karlos, we're tired of asking. Where is this lab you keep talking about?"

"What kind of police are you? Can't even find lab. What you do all day, sleep? eat doughnuts?"

"Alright Karlos, just answer this. Who instructed you to shoot down the helicopter?"

"Boss."

"Who is 'Boss'?"

"Boss is Boss."

"Augh!" Manchek slammed his fists down on the table and walked out of the room. He needed to clear his mind. He told the guard to return Karlos to his cell, and he set off with Kelling. They both could use some sleep.

5:43 AM

She stood alone on the beach. She looked it over again. Except this time she saw something. A little girl standing there. By an old abandoned fishing shack. The girl beconed to her. Sarah felt a strong urge to follow her. She was led through the forest until she came to an old path. She paused. The girl motioned her to follow. This girl looked familiar. Kelling noticed some weird translucient stuff caught on the bushes. She reached out to touch it but the girl tugged on her arm. She had a look of genuine fear on her face as she shook her head no. She read the girl's thoughts.

'No don't touch! Bad Thing, Bad Thing come if touch.' So Kelling left it alone. She wondered if it had to do with her case. She continued to follow the girl. They went across a road and into the bushes on the other side. Kelling was trying hard to remember who the girl was, while memorizing the wasy they were walking. They came to a big clearin. The girl began pointing frantically at something in the clearing. Sarah could see nothing but grass. The girl seemed desperate to get her message across when all of a sudden she stopped. She started to concentrate on something. Moments later Sarah heard a tiny voice in her head.

'Bad Place you search for. Bad Thing come here. Hurt me. Make stop, make stop. Hurt men.' then another figure appeared. It was of a man. He looked familiar too. Then she remembered who they were. This was the fisherman and his daughter who dissapeared. She heard teh man's voice in her head.

'Why do you search for this place of evil?' Sarah used her telekenetic powers to talk to him.

'What is in this clearing?'

'Can't you see?'

'No.'

'This is where It comes to feed. Scientists feed it. One is Karlos. You must come stop them. They told me they were developing and testing the perfect biological weapon. It would be used by Russia to take over the USA. Thesting here because Russia is not letting them test there.' The little girl's voice joined his.

'Please stop It, please.' They began to fade as Kelling's alarm clock went off. She woke up. Memory of her dream faded rapidly. By the time she was finished breackfast, she vaguly remembered something about the beach. She heard her doorbell ring. It was Manchek. He said:

"I think we should check the beach again."

"Godd idea."

6:37 AM

Kelling found herself standing on a beach, like in her dream. Only Manchek and about twenty other government officials stood behind her. She surveyed the beach and then felt a force tugging at her hand. She looked down. Nothing there. She smiled. She resited the pull long enough to tell the other officers to follow. Then she let the force guide her. At the same time her dream came back to her. She was following the same path, again being led by something. As the invisible force guided her, she felt the pieces of the puzzle click together. She remembered from her dream that the creature was a Russian biological weapon in testing. They shot down the helicopter that was coming to pick up the divers because they might have found something. Karlos had been instructed that if he were caught, he was to lead the police to the the cabin that blew up to slow them down and as a signal that he was captured. Kelling wasn't sure how Williams, te girl and her father fit into this, but she was sure they would find out.

She came to the place where she had seen the clear thing, and sure enough, there it was. She told one of the men o get a sample of it, being careful not to touch it with exposed skin. The rest of them continued. They crossed the road, Sarah still being guided byu the force which she had come to believe was the spirit of the little girl. They re-entered the bushes on the other side. In five minutes they had reached the clearing. Only this time it wasn't empty. A large concrete building occupied the spot. Kelling signaled to Manchek who signaled to the rest of the group. They all took out their guns and slowly crept towards the building. Behind the building was a smaller concrete block house. Manchek took a team of five and they walked towards the small building. As they approached, they started to hear low moans. They walked all the way around the building. It had no wondows and one small door. They puched and prodded at the door, but it wouldn't budge. One of the officers brought out a lock-picking kit. There were four locks on the door. Each officer took one and began to pick at the locks. Manchek supervised the operation as the owner of the kit aided the agents.

In ten minutes, they had all the locks undone. They withdrew their guns and opened the door. They had to duck to enter because the doorway was so small. Inside, they found four men gagged and bound. They were squirming on the floor like worms. They paled when they saw the figure standing in the door, until he moved into the light and they realized he was police. They went limp as the police picked them up and carried them to the rest of the group, where they un-tied them. They gave the men some water to drink and let them rest for a while before they questioned them.

The first question asked to the men was, "Who are you?"

The answer was, "We are the four remaining men of the diving team that was sent to search the lake."

"What happened to the othes?"

"They were eaten by that beast we were looking for. Our fate was to be the same."

"Where are the people who operate this facility?"

"We don't know. They only come at night." Kelling and Manchek helped the men to their feet as the government agents led them back to the beach. Once everyone was saftly in the vans, Kelling pulled out her phone, told Manchek to order a stakeout, and phoned Special Forces. When they put her through she said,

"We found the missing divers and the lab/headquarters of the Russian scientists. Permission to hold a stakeout tonight?"

"Permission granted. Do you need any men?"

"No sir. My next report wil be after we have seized the laboratory. Kelling out." She put away her phone and spoke to Manchek, who had just finished talking to his headquarters.

"We have permission to start tonight. We'll need night vision goggles, machine guns, hand grenades and tranquillizer darts. I'm sure that our little 'friend' will turn up while we are there.

"I can have all these things by tonight. How many of my men do you need?"

"About twenty for backup. It's agreed. We start at seven. Round up your men. From what the divers told me, It comes every night when its dark. We will let It pass us, and then we will follow It. Meanwhile, get that clear stuff analyzed. I think its skin."

Kelling, Manchek, and most of the other agents got out of the vans at Police headquarters, while the rest of the agents accompanied the divers to the hospital. Kelling had someone to talk to.

The door opened and Karlos walked into the room. Kelling sat, waiting for him. When he sat down, she looked him strait in the eye.

"Who is the Boss?" she demanded to know. Karlos tried to look away but he couldn't.

"I don't know."

"Yes you do, now tell me."

"Honestly, I don't know."

"Then you leave me no choice but to..." she stopped taling as she entered his mind. Her questions had made him nervous, and thoughts of the Boss and the consequences of telling surfaced.

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed. "I never knew Williams had a son!"

"Hey, get out of my head." the prisonner proclaimed loudly.

"Kelling stumbled out of the room, dazed at the turn of events. She sat down hard in a chair outside the room and watched as Karlos was led back to his cell.

"Oh my God" she whispered again.
