inspector. He wouldn’t doubt it. He grunted when the thought of being scammed crossed his brain waves.
    Maybe this town was scheduled to be demolished, and he got duped. That thought had his hackles rising as the sheriff got out of his car.

    “Morning,” the sheriff said as he walked over to Sage. “Name’s Sheriff Reese, but you can call me Samuel.”
    “Sage,” he replied as he shook the proffered hand. The guy was kind of young looking to be a damn sheriff. Sage noticed the fire in the guy’s eyes as he shook Sage’s hand with a little too much strength. The desire to prove to everyone that he could do his job and tough it out with the best of them was very obvious from the firm grip.
    Sage wasn’t so sure he wanted someone like that around. He had dealt with enough gung ho men to last him a lifetime.
    “I take it you’re the new owner of Mystery?”
    Okay, so he hadn’t been duped. Good to know. “Yeah,” he replied as he looked Samuel over, wondering if his visit was just being friendly. “You’re a little off the beaten path, Samuel.”
    “That I am. My jurisdiction is Mayfield County, but word got out that there was a new owner of this quaint little town.”
    Sage could hear the sarcasm in the man’s voice, and it made him want to rip the fucker’s throat out. It might be a piece of shit town right now, but Sage had plans for it. He didn’t like anyone talking smack about it.
    “I just wanted to welcome you and let you know that some teenagers have been known to come here to party, with the town being deserted and all.”
    Not anymore they weren’t. Sage would make sure of that. There would be no underage anything going on in Mystery. Maybe he needed to hire help. The thought wasn’t too pleasing to Sage. He hadn’t planned on anyone being here for a while, but then again William had tossed that idea of a broken window the first day Sage arrived here.
    “Here’s my card,” Samuel said as he reached into his shirt pocket and pulled a business card out. “Call if you have any problems.”
    Yeah, right after he handed his manhood over. “Thanks,” he said as he shoved the small paper into his back pocket. No sense in pissing Sage’s Mystery

    off the cops. He wasn’t too keen on spending time in a jail, especially a small-town jail…and so close to his shift.
    “Well, good luck. If you need any help, call. I know a little about fixing things up.”
    Sage nodded as he watched Samuel climb back into his patrol car.
    He looked over his shoulder to see William standing just inside the door, and just out of sight.
    Hmm…

    Samuel looked out of his rearview mirror as he pulled away. Sage seemed like a nice enough guy. He hoped the man could rebuild Mystery and bring her back to her former beauty. It was a nice out-of-the-way place to live if one preferred the slower pace to life.
    He just prayed the guy stuck around once he found out why Mystery was deserted. And Samuel had no doubt Sage would find out about the wolves that massacred every last one of the residents all those years ago.

    “I thought the electrician was supposed to be coming out?”
    William asked as he set the small armful of branches on the ground next to the round fire pit Sage was building. It wasn’t big, but it would serve its purpose.
    Yeah, so did he. Sage pushed the last brick into place and then leaned back. “Apparently he forgot he had an appointment with us today.” He wiped his hands off on his jeans, grabbing some of the branches that William had brought over and placed them in the middle.
    His eyes cut over to the small man, stealing a glimpse of William in one of Sage’s T-shirts. He had been tired of seeing the guy in the 42

    same damn clothes. Although his shirt reached William’s upper thighs, he had to admit, it looked good on him. Too bad he hadn’t had any pants to give him.
    “Well, it’s too late in the day to call him now,” William
