That same night in the Timberland Forest . . .

I walk around in the dark of the forest, looking around for Deputy Meredith with my own flashlight.

"Meredith?!" I exclaimed, worriedly. "Deputy Meredith?! Where are you?!"

As I walk further into the forest, a tree branch snaps behind me. Becoming worried, I get my pistol and turns around, flashing my flashlight at Deputy Meredith.

"Deputy Meredith?" I said. "What the hell? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." She reassured me. "And did you really come out here in the Timberland Forest?"

"Yeah, I did. You became frantic on the phone and you hung up." I told her. "What scared you?"

"The Sasquatch thing was out here." Deputy Meredith told me. "Follow me."

Deputy Meredith walks ahead and I follow her. She and I walks up to a log.

"Shine your flashlight behind the log." Deputy Meredith said.

I shine my flashlight behind the log and becomes horrified. It's the big Sasquatch with its head torn off, but it's a robot.

"What the hell?" I said, looking at the dysfunctional torn up robot Sasquatch. "A robot Sasquatch?"

"A fake Sasquatch." Deputy Meredith said. "Seems like this was a scary prank."

"Or maybe, someone was pulling the strings." I said.

Deputy Meredith and I exchange looks at each other.

*~*~*

Later the Next Day at AIDEN'S AND ANGIE'S APARTMENT . . .

In the sunny bedroom, I'm gently laying on the bed, gently laying on my stomach, looking at my laptop screen.

On my laptop screen, Deputy Meredith had given me her USB drive. On the USB drive, is some evidence of a puppeteer named Linus Carthage.

He built the robot Sasquatch and remote controlled it from his house.

"Hey, Ang." Aiden greeted me.

I glance up at him. "Hey, Aiden."

Aiden gently crawls onto the bed, gently lays on his stomach, looking at my laptop screen. "What are you up to? Another Special Agent task?"

"Yeah, a guy named Linus Carthage. He's a puppeteer. He was the mastermind behind the Sasquatch robot in the Timberland Forest." I tell him.

"You're kidding? A robot Sasquatch?" Aiden said, bewildered.

"Crazy, I know." I said to him. "Linus Carthage used his robot Sasquatch to do the Sasquatch maulings whenever people wandered around."

"So, Linus mauled people in the Timberland Forest by using a robot Sasquatch that he built?" Aiden said, processing what I told him.

"Yep." I said.

"Gosh." Aiden said.

"I'm gonna go with Deputy Meredith to Linus Carthage's house when she phone calls me, this is just evidence to prosecute him in the Arrington Jailhouse." I told Aiden. "By the way, did you want to asks me something?"

"Nope, I'm fine. Just wanted to see what you were up to." Aiden said.

I sits up straight and gently closes my laptop. My phone buzzes in my pants pocket. I take my phone out and looks at it.

Joanna Kerns

I answer my phone. "Hey, Joanna. What's up?"

"Hey, Angie. Since you're helping Deputy Meredith with the Linus Carthage investigation task, Piper and I will handle the gothic vampiric serial killer." Joanna said.

"You and Piper found the gothic vampiric serial killer?" I asked Joanna.

"Yeah, we did." Piper told me.

"Okay, be careful." I warned her.

"We will." Piper said and hangs up her phone.

"A gothic vampiric serial killer?" Aiden said.

"Yeah, I know." I said to him. "I gotta go meet with Meredith."

"Okay, I'll meet you at JEN's." Aiden said.

Aiden and I shares a kiss and I get up and walks away.

*~*~*

LINUS CARTHAGE'S HOUSE

Later that afternoon, Deputy Meredith and I showed up at Linus house. She went to the back to surprise him. And I went to the front to distract him for a little bit.

I gently knock on the door. It opens and bearded Linus Carthage is there.

"Hi, Linus. My car broke up a few minutes from here and your house was the place I saw." I said to him. "Do you have a phone I can borrow?"

"Sure." Linus Carthage said.

I walk inside and slowly walks further inside, looking at the robots and remote controls at his desk.

"You have a hobby for robotic puppets?" I asked.

"I do." Linus Carthage said, slowly walks up to me with his house phone. "I assume that you know how to use a house phone?"

"Sure." I said, and gently takes the house phone and slowly walks away from him, pretending to dial a number.

But the sound of a shotgun. I turn around to look at Linus Carthage holding his shotgun.

"Who the hell are you?" Linus Carthage asked. "I can guess that you know about my robotic Sasquatch?"

"Yeah, I do." I tell him. "A Sasquatch? Really?"

Linus Carthage cocks his shotgun but I blasts him with my photokinesis, knocking him out onto the floor.

Deputy Meredith scurries inside and picks up the shotgun and empties the bullets out.

"Linus Carthage? You're apprehended for the maulings in the Timberland Forest." I said, walking up to him and punches him in his face, knocking him out unconscious.

Deputy Meredith and I exchange looks at each other and we high-fives each other.

*~*~*

JEN's MALT 'LIT CHOCO DINER

That evening, Aiden and I are sitting at the diner counter with our ice cream sundaes, eating our soft serve ice cream with spoons.

"So, how did it go with Linus Carthage?" Aiden asked.

"It went well." I told him. "Meredith and I handled him. Linus is at the Arrington Jailhouse and his robotics puppets have been destroyed."

"That's good." Aiden said, eating a small spoonful of his ice cream sundae. "Has Piper and Joanna called you?"

"Not as of yet." I told him, eating a small spoonful of my own ice cream sundae.

And then, my phone buzzes on the diner counter. I pick up my phone and looks at it.

Piper McCall

I answer my phone. "Hey, Piper."

"Hey, Angie. Joanna and I are with Sheriff Williams at the APD. She and I have apprehended a gothic vampiric serial killer cult that kidnaps people and drains them of their blood." Piper told me.

"Was it real blood? Or synthetic blood?" I asked Piper.

"Um, I would rather not say because it's gross." Piper said.

"I agree. Well, the good thing is, we both closed an investigation task. Deputy Meredith and I closed the fake Sasquatch Puppeteer. So, that's some good news for now." I said to Piper.

"Yeah, it is. Well, I'll see you around, Agent Saunders." Piper said.

"You too." I said.

And Piper hangs up her phone. I glance at Aiden, who is small smiling at me.

"What?" I said.

"I love it when you become full Special Agent." Aiden said to me with a small smile.

Aiden and I exchange small smiles at each other and we continue eating our soft serve ice cream sundaes.

*~*~*

THE ROSEBUD / AIDEN'S AND ANGIE'S APARTMENT

That night, in our room with the nightstand lamp-light turned on, a shirtless tattooed Aiden and I are laying in bed, shirtless wearing his boxer briefs and my undies with the fluffy paisley bedcover covering us both.

The bedcover covering the lower half of his body and my torso and the lower half of my body.

I sit up straight with the bedcover wrapped around my torso and lower half of my body. "Was this your idea after our ice cream sundae date?"

Aiden chuckles softly to himself and gently sits up straight with the bedcover still covering the lower half of his body.

"Maybe, I wanted us to have some lonesome together." Aiden said.

"I get it." I said to him. "With two investigation task completed, it's like a weight has been lifted off."

"Are you seriously talking about your special agent tasks right now?" Aiden said.

"I ruined the moment, didn't I?" I asked him.

"Nope, you didn't." Aiden said.

Aiden and I exchange chuckles with each other and we share a kiss.

*~*~*

- Third POV -

At Quinton Kiermont's apartment, he has a bulletin board, which has Polaroid pictures of Angie Saunders and the Saunders Gang.

He takes a swig of his bottle of brewski and slowly walks away. He gently takes a knife and throws it at Angie's picture.

"I will destroy you, Angie. And when I do, you're gonna beg to not go after your bestie pals." Quinton Kiermont said with a malicious expression on his face.
