B RIAN AND DESTINY were married in the month of June and had a set of twins. A year later they divorced and Destiny went to work at Walmart part time after hiring a baby-sitter named Victor who was from Arkansas. He was also going to college while trying to find a job at the same time he started working for the Woods family as a part time baby-sitter.

One day one of his friends named Scarlet came up with a plan to kidnap the twins so Victor smiled and looked over at Scarlet and asked How are we going to do that when their mother trusts me? He looked over to see that Victor had a smile on his face and started to make a plan that he would never forget. That night Victor went to the Woods family to watch the twins like Destiny asked him to and waited for her to go on to work. He asked the girls to go to their rooms to do their homework. When he went to the living room he called Scarlet to let her know that the mother was gone so Scarlet laughed and asked where the girls were. Victor told her and waited for her to arrive. Victor started to make the girls their dinner like he had for a few weeks when he heard screams coming from the twin’s room. He ran to see what was going on when he got to the room he saw that the girls were gone and nowhere to be found. He ran back to the kitchen and turned the stove off and ran out the door before Destiny got home.

Later that evening when Destiny got home she felt something was wrong so she looked around the house calling for the girls. When she didn’t get an answer she ran outside to see if she could see Victor anywhere around. When she didn’t get an answer she ran across the street to ask anybody if they had seen the twins. When she heard the word no she ran back to the house and called the Baton Rouge Police Department. When she heard Andrews voice on the other line Destiny told Andrew what was going on and waited for him to say something. Andrew told her that he would call a friend of his to help out and call her back. Destiny said okay and hung up the phone.

Andrew called Christopher back in Alma, Arkansas and waited for an answer when he heard Christopher pick up the phone on the last ring saying: This is Christopher how may I help you? Hey Christopher this is Andrew. I am in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and I have a case at the moment and I need your help. Christopher looked at the files on his desk and asked, Andrew, what time do I need to leave? Andrew laughed and said You can come on up now. We can use the help. Is there any way you can get Nichole and Scott to come? Christopher shook his head and told him You know they have been gone at least a year now and nobody has seen or heard from them Andrew, but I will see what I can do. He told Andrew he would see him later hung up. After he hung up the phone he got up from his desk and walked over to Stevens office. He saw a sign hanging on the Captains door saying out for lunch. He turned around in the small hallway and put his foot on the wall with his head hanging while looking at Steven and waiting on him to set down at his desk. Before he could say anything Steven looked up at him and asked him if Andrew called yet. Christopher looked at him confused and asked how did you know that he called me. Steven laughed and said cause he called me first before he called you and here is the paper work you need to work on becoming an FBI agent. After you are done pack your stuff and head to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

As Christopher started filling out the paper a few hours later he walked out to the parking lot he looked up to see a man standing by his ram truck so he walked over to see that it was Andrew standing there waiting on him. Andrew looked up and asked Christopher if he was ready to head to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Christopher patted Andrew on the shoulder and said yes sir, asked him who was going to be his new boss. Andrew laughed as he got into the truck and told Christopher that a man named Curt Shields is going to be your new boss when Christopher looked over and asked what was he doing here? Andrew smiled at him and said your new bosses name is Curt Shield’s and he will be head of this case that we are working on. He is also a FBI agent and he is going to meet us in Baton Rouge in about two hours.

Christopher looked at him and asked Aren’t we already there? Andrew laughed and said yeah look over that way. When Christopher looked over to the Baton Rouge police department on the street called Anne so he turned to get his work stuff ready when Andrew told him to look straight ahead. When Christopher looked he saw Curt standing by a maroon SUV Cadillac truck waiting on them to arrive. When Curt looked up at him he waved at them and waited for them to park the truck. Andrew turned off the truck and Christopher got his stuff and got out of the truck. With Andrew right behind him they started walking towards Curt to meet him for the very first time. When they reached Curt Shield’s he raised his hand to shake Christopher’s and Andrews hand and told him nice to meet you and asked if he was ready to start working on the case called The Shadow. Andrew looked over at Curt and said so you have named the case now.

Curt looked up at Andrew and answered yes but we still haven’t found the twin girls or their mother. It’s like they never been living here at all. Andrew looked back at Curt and told him that they might have some help for this case called The Shadow. Curt looked over at Andrew and asked him who was the helpers and where they were. Christopher punched Andrew’s shoulder and told him not to tell Curt about Nichole or Scott cause he wouldn’t believe them so Andrew looked at Curt with a smile and told him that they were friends of Christopher’s but they are very hard to reach from here. Curt looked at Christopher confused and asked him why. Christopher looked at Andrew and gave him a dirty look and told Curt that they were in a different state and working on a different case right now. Curt looked at Christopher and Andrew and asked them what it was and what kind of case it was. He opened the door to let them walk inside first when Christopher turned around and told Curt that Nichole and Scott were Private Detectives, but they don’t like to be bothered when they are working on a case. Curt shook his head and said okay so it’s just us right. Christopher shook his head yes and said let’s get to work on this case called The Shadow.

It started to down poor rain on a Monday evening in Baton Rouge. Three days later on Thursday night at 9:30 p.m. Christopher told Andrew that night he was going to take a long walk by himself. Andrew asked if he could go on a walk with him. Christopher turned around and shook his head no and grabbed his Jordan with a hood on and started walking. After a mile or so his foot landed into muddy water so he looked up to see a swampy area and stopped where he was and turned around to see hundreds of trees behind him. The air around him turned to ice cold and turned to black as night. Christopher smiled at the ground and said Hello Nichole. He waited for her to show herself like she did the first time and he told her it was only him so it was okay for them to talk. he heard a tree being thrown at him, but before it hit him there was a streak of lightning that hit the tree that made it fall to the ground inches away from Christopher’s feet. He looked up to see Nichole standing there in front him with lightning slowly fading away from her eyes when she asked Christopher what was he doing way out here. Christopher looked at her with a concerned looked and asked if she could do something for him while he was here working on a case. When Nichole looked at him and asked him what kind of case is this that we are talking about Christopher looked at her and asked if she has ever heard of the thing called The Shadow where a set of twins and a young mother had gone missing, but there is no evidence of a person taking them from their house. Before he could go any farther she stopped him from talking and told him that she would help work on the case if Scott could come a long and work on the case with them.

As he turned around to head back he looked and said you mean you know where Scott is Nichole looked at him with fear on her face and said yes but I can’t tell you what is going on right now but where he is he is fine Christopher. We are on a mission, but we will still be able to work on this case. Christopher looked at Nichole with a smile on his face and said that would be cool and asked when did he think they would show up again. Nichole looked at him and told him that they will show up when he really needed them the most. Christopher shook his head in agreement and looked at his watch and said, I better be getting back before Andrew comes looking for me. Nichole laughed and asked if Andrew was really here in Baton Rouge. Christopher shook his head yes and smiled and said maybe ya’ll should drop by and visit him before I get home. Nichole giggled and asked how long would it take for him to get home. Christopher looked at his watch again and smiled and said about an hour. Nichole said sweet we well be right back. Before Christopher could say anything at all he heard a motorcycle roaring off in the distance.

When Andrew walked into his living room to turn on the TV and go into the other room the TV was turned off before he entered the other room. Andrew turned around and walked back into the living room to turn the TV back on to see Nichole waving back at him. Andrew fell back on his feet hitting his head on the coffee table when he heard Nichole say don’t be scared Andrew I am your friend. She smiled at him so he got up off his feet and asked what was she doing here. Nichole laughed and said I am here to help you with the case that you and Christopher are working on called The Shadow. Andrew looked around for a camera while Nichole watched when she asked what was he doing. Andrew looked up and said I am looking for a hidden camera that Christopher hid on me. Nichole giggled and said you’re silly Andrew there is no camera anywhere in your house. I am an angel sent here to help you even if you believe it or not Andrew Lee Washington. Now stand up and look at me while I talk to you. Andrew stood up straight and walked until he was an inch away from the TV and waited for Nichole to start speaking to him when she told him he could sit down on the coffee table. She heard the front door open and looked to see Christopher standing in front of the door when she looked over and smiled and told them that they may have a seat on the coffee table.

Christopher looked over at Andrew and asked what did you do Andrew? Andrew looked over at Christopher and told him he didn’t do anything to her. Nichole looked at them both and told them both to be quiet so could tell them what she had to tell them before her next mission. They both stopped talking to let her talk when they heard her say me and Scott are going to help work on your case called The Shadow, but first we need some information about the case before we can work on it. Andrew looked at his gold watch and asked Nichole when did she need the information. She looked behind her at Scott and look back at Andrew and said I would need the information by tomorrow night if you can. Andrew looked at Christopher and said yes madam when do you want us to meet you again. Nichole smiled and said just call me and we will meet again on Saturday evening. Christopher stood up while grabbing his leather Jordan and saying okay and told Andrew to get his stuff ready to leave. Andrew looked back at the TV screen and saw that Nichole was gone so he got his Jordan and asked where they were going, Christopher turned around and looked at Andrew and told him that they were going to go find some information about Nichole. Andrew grabbed his Jordan with the hood on it and said wait up I am coming with you." Christopher looked back and asked who do you think you are.

Andrew looked at him and said I’m from LEA. Christopher looked back and asked what is LEA Andrew laughed and said it is Law Enforcement Agency long sort term for LEA. Christopher shook his head and said I thought you were from something else. Andrew laughed and said I was joking about that job, but I am from the LEA which means Law Enforcement Agency

Christopher rolled his eyes and said okay I got it opened the door and walked out the door with Andrew right behind him when they closed the door behind them to go to Andrews 2015 maroon Chevrolet Silverado. Andrew got in first and looked over at Christopher and asked if he was ready to go. While he was buckling up Christopher rolled his eyes and said yes we need that information before Saturday evening. Andrew asked why Saturday evening and not Friday. Christopher laughed and said cause that is what Nichole Ann Simmons wants and that’s what she will get. Andrew I want this to be over with so I can go back home to Alma so the faster we get started the faster I can go home. Andrew looked forward and started up the truck and said alright we are getting started. When he started out of the driveway something hit the back of the truck so he stopped and turned off the truck and got out to investigate the damage. He saw a rock laying beside his tire so Andrew started to have a tear in his eye saying to himself my poor baby and kissed it and walked back got into the truck when another rock was thrown through his back window. Before it could hit Andrews or Christopher’s head they ducked their heads and watched the rock go through the windshield when they looked back up to see a shadow floating in front of them so they kept low when Christopher asked who are you and what do you want?

The first visit from the shadow girl as the rocks kept flying around Andrews new truck. He started up the truck with Christopher laying on the floor of the truck when the shadow stopped the truck from starting. They both heard her laugh they looked back at the shadow looking back at them laughing she noticed them looking at her so she smiled. With rocks flying around her she started talking with an evil voice and looked straight at Andrew and told them this will be a warning to both of you to stay off this case. A rock hit Andrews head when she turned to see Christopher laying on the floor board of the truck so she flew up next to Christopher and said you must be Christopher Tyler Dollar a new FBI agent. Christopher got off the floor and set back in the seat and said yes I am Christopher Tyler Dollar I am from Alma, Arkansas and we are here to work on this case that we started and we will finish the case no matter how long this case takes. The shadow laughs and says like I said I’m not playing I have ways that I can hurt you so I suggest you leave this so called case alone cause you well never find them. They see a flash of lighting going in front of Christopher so the shadow looked where the streak of lighting came from, but didn’t see anything so Christopher smiled and asked if she was wondering if she wanted to know that come from the shadow. Christopher said nope I am going to let you find out for yourself and the shadow looked at Christopher confused with rocks still flying around like a tornado when she finally said fine Christopher you win this time, but like I said if you keep working on this case ya’ll will be sorry. With that the shadow was gone.

So Andrew buckled back and waited for Christopher to get back into the truck when two hours later at the Baton Rouge Police Department Andrew found a parking spot and parked his truck and they both got out when Christopher’s cell phone started to ring. Christopher stopped to check it when he look to see that it was his Captain Steven. He kept walking while he answered the phone to hear Nichole’s voice on the either end of the line. Christopher smiled to himself and asked if Nichole was okay or not Nichole laughed and said yes I am fine I was calling to see if you and Andrew are okay. Christopher looked around to make sure no one could hear him talking. When he saw that no one was around Christopher told Nichole that they were a little shaken up, but they were okay and they are still going to work on this case even if this gets dangerous. Nichole says okay Christopher I will let you go and talk to you later. Christopher smiled and said okay talk to you later and hung up the phone and walked fast to catch up with Andrew.

When Andrew turned around he asked if Christopher was ready to get started on the case called the shadow when the lighting in the office building started to flicker off and on. Andrew looked up at a mirror to see a shadow looking back at him and Christopher and flew close to them and warned them one more time not to work on this case or you will be in dangerous trouble. Do you hear me boys do you hear me? As the shadow started to fade away and the lights stopped flickering Andrew walked into his office and pulled a file out while Christopher sat down in front of Andrew’s desk and waited for them to get started working on the case when the lights started to flicker again. Christopher laughed and said shadow it’s not going to work so you might as well stop otherwise Nichole will be here if you don’t stop.

After that the shadow was gone for now. When Christopher got a pen out to start working on the information for Nichole so she could help on the case with Scott they heard a motorcycle running outside. They stopped what they were doing and ran to the window to see Scott and Nichole waving back at them so they waved back and waited for them to get to the office so they can help work on the case together as a team and not alone. It started to thunder outside when they turned to face Nichole with a concerned look and heard her say shut up shadow woman and back off and got back to work on the case with the guys right beside her.

The Shadow’s Home

A S THE SHADOW turned into his human form Trinity looked up at him confused and asked him what kind of shadow are you? The shadow laughed and answered you will find out soon enough. The shadow looked at Trinity with an evil smile on his face and looked back at Trinity’s sister Serenity and pulled out a large cage and told the both of them that they both need to be good girls and to get into the cage. Trinity looked up at him and told him that they were not dogs and they wasn’t getting into the cage so the shadow laughed and said okay your choice and put the cage on the ground and walked up to them until they were backed into the corner. The girls looked behind them to see nothing but walls so they started to scream when he finally grabbed them and put them into the cage and locked the door. The shadow picked up the cage and carried it the rest of the way to his home when Serenity looked up at Trinity and told her she was getting hot Trinity looked at her and said she knew, but there wasn’t anything she could do about it. A few minutes later both of them passed out in the cage.

As the shadow turned himself back into a shadow to face his boss one of the girls slowly started to wake up, but when she opened her eyes all she could see was darkness and flames all around so she closed her eyes and asked herself where was her sister. When the shadow looked down to see her awake he smiled and asked how she slept. When she looked up and asked where they were the shadow looked down at her and said this place is not for you, but my boss is wanting to meet you and your sister. Serenity looked down at her twin sister who was still passed out on the cage floor she looked down and asked why us and not somebody else the shadow laughed and said ya’ll are special to him for some reason. Serenity scooted into the corner of the cage when he looked down at her with crystal clear eyes and said get ready to meet the boss when she started to hear growling sounds and crackling sounds from the fire that surround the place. she looked up to see two pointed horns and a long pointed tail and fire coming from a mouth from a ugly looking shadow that stood up on two legs. When he looked down at the two girls and smiled they had fear in their eyes and when his deep voice came out and said it’s about time. The shadow looked up at him with his crystal clear eyes and told him the mother got lose from him and that he had to run and hide from the police when he heard the boss start to laugh and he looked down into a frightened girls eyes and told the shadow to take them to the room in the back and come back cause he needed to talk the shadow. The shadow looked up at his boss and said yes sir and went into a room to put the cage up so nobody would know they were at the Baton Rouge police station

Hey Andrew do you have any more information on the Woods case? When Andrew looked back to see Christopher Tyler Dollar standing being him with a cup of coffee in his hand Andrew shook his head and said he didn’t find anything yet on the Woods case yet the father of the girls are not in the picture at this moment. Christopher looks at Andrew and asked for his information. Andrew turned back to his computer and said yes sir. When he turned around he saw Christopher walking towards the door and up the stairs to the main office of the building.

An hour later Andrew heard a noise coming from the upstairs office so he stopped what he was doing when he heard Christopher’s voice yelling at the main boss telling him to get to work on the case or he will not be working on the case any longer. When Andrew turned around to his computer he saw Christopher coming back down the stairs. Christopher looked down to see Andrew looking back at him so Christopher looked at him with a grin on his face and smiled and pointed at him and told him to come here while he was still walking down the stairs. Andrew got up from his chair and walked up to Christopher and asked what was up. Christopher shook his head and said we can’t do anything more on the Woods case until the father gets here. Andrew looks at him and asked, But why can’t we do anything like research or stuff. Christopher smiled and said no we can’t but I know who can do some stuff as he handed the coffee to Andrew and told him he would be right back and not to follow him this time. Andrew smiled and said okay sir and went back to his computer and started back to work while he watched Christopher walk out of the building.

Meanwhile Christopher walked to his Dodge Ram truck and got in and headed towards a swampy area. He stopped at the edge of the swamp and got out of his truck and started walking to it and looked up to the cold sunset sky. He said Nichole Ann Simmons I need you right now. he looked down at the ground, set down and waited on Nichole when he saw a flash of lighting and heard a motor coming from a spirit like motorcycle heading his way. When he turned around he saw a spirit motorcycle right in front of him. He smiled and lifted his head up to see Scott looking back at him so he leaned towards Scott and asked if they were ready for some fun. Scott looked back at Christopher and said they didn’t have time for games. Me and Nichole has another job we are working on to so if this is a joke we need to get going. Christopher shook his head and said this isn’t a joke and Scott turned his motorcycle off and looked back at Nichole and said he guessed this was about the Woods case. Christopher smiled and said yes this is about the Woods case. Scott looked at Christopher and shook his head and asked what is it this time.

Christopher looked at Scott and waited for him to speak when Nichole looked down at Christopher and told him to speak up they didn’t have all day they have to report to their boss soon. Christopher looked up and said We can’t do anything else on the case at all until the father says so, but so far we haven’t been able to find him. Nichole’s eyes filled up with lightning and she asked Why can’t you do anything else like you have been? Christopher stood back a few feet and said Cause my boss said so. Nichole looked down at him with a smile and said Maybe you can’t work on the case anymore for right now, but me and Scott can do this our way. Scott looked up at her with a worried look and said Yea and that’s going to be the fun part. He looked back at Christopher when he finally said that there is going to be a war over the Woods family soon, but we don’t know when or where yet, but when we find out more information we will let you know somehow. Scott turned around to get back on his motorcycle when Christopher looked up at Nichole and grinned and asked her what did they want him to do. Nichole stopped where she was and turned to face Christopher smiled at him said All you have to do is gather every body up to get them ready for a war they will never forget as long as they will live. Christopher shook his head in agreement and walked back to his locked truck and pulled out his cell phone and called Andrew and waited for him to answer. He heard Andrews voice saying What’s up? Christopher smiled and asked if he was busy or not and if he could meet him for dinner soon. Andrew laughed and said okay where at Christopher looks at the mirror and said how about Taco Bell. Andrew smiled at himself in the mirror and said Okay, I’ll meet you there soon and hung up the phone and grabbed his Jordan and headed to Taco Bell to meet up with Christopher.

An hour later at Taco Bell Christopher called Andrew and said I am here where are you? Christopher laughed and said I am just pulling into the parking lot Andrew looked back to see Christopher’s blue Dodge Ram truck pulling into the parking lot so he walked over to the table and took a seat and waited for Christopher inside. When Christopher walked through the doors of Taco Bell he looked over to see Andrew looking back at him so he walked up to the cashier and ordered some food and went and set down and started talking to Andrew about the case. When Christopher’s number was called he told Andrew he would be right back and Andrew looked back at him and said okay and waited for him to come back when he heard Christopher say that we can’t do anything else right now until their father gets home. So I thought of an idea of how to work on the Woods case for now before I have to go home. Andrew looks at Christopher confused and asked how can we work on the Woods case without the boss knowing about it. Christopher laughed and said I have some friends that can help out with this case, but I can’t tell you who they are right now otherwise they won’t do it for us. Andrew looked at him and asked if they were around here or if they were from Alma. Christopher laughed and said Nichole is from everywhere, but Scott is a different story. Andrew shook his head and got up and started walking towards the door when Christopher told him that he would meet them soon, but not right now.

Andrew grabbed his Jordan and said okay and asked if he was ready to talk to Destiny to see if we can find the father. Christopher smiled and said yeah while finishing up the last bite and when he picked up his Jordan with a hood and told Andrew that he was going to meet him later. Andrew turned around and asked where was he going, Christopher looked at him and said that he had to meet up with Scott and Nichole and to tell them what’s going on with the case and that someone is wanting to meet them in person before the case goes any farther. Andrew laughs and Nicole’s voice is on the other end of the line saying Hello are you there Christopher? Christopher looked at the caller ID and said Yes Nicole I am here what is wrong? Nicole and says Okay, I’ll meet you back at the police station. Christopher opened up his truck door and looked back at Andrew and said okay and climbed into the truck and started up the ram and
