The Reis family lived in the middle of nowhere, deep inside New York’s vast
Adirondack State Park. Their address listed the town of Keene, but it must
have been on the edge of the town limits with the next burg over being
named something like Desolation, Nowhere, or Abandon Ye All Hope.
Listen to me. I sound like my old boyfriend. Hardly the way to give a proper
report. I’ll start over.
The suspects, family name Reis, consisting of Robert, Helen, and twin
children Maurice and Victoria, lived at the end of a three-quarter-mile dirt
driveway, seven miles to the east of the center of the township of Keene, in
the central portion of the Adirondack Park.
Our government-issue SUV was bouncing on the rutted-dirt, single-lane
driveway and my threat assessment conditioning was maxing out at the
multiple textbook-perfect ambush sites that we rolled through at a steady
pace.
Special Agent Mitchell Allen was driving, while our boss, Special Agent-inCharge Lois Jay rode in the shotgun seat. Me, Agent Caeco Jensen, had the
backseat all to myself. Which was good, because that way my superiors
couldn’t see that my right hand was locked on my issued 9mm for most of
the trip.
Literal hairs stood up on the back of my neck, something to do with the
warning sign that said trespassers would be killed, which had been posted
out by the main road. A warning that was throughly reinforced by the five
Eastern coyote skulls tacked to a big oak halfway down the driveway.
Eastern coyotes should actually be called coy-wolves, as their western
coyote DNA was co-mingled with a pretty good slew of wolf genes. The
hybridization occurred when eastward-migrating coyotes bred with
Canadian wolves on their way to populating the East Coast of the United
States in the 1950s and 60s. Just nature refilling the predatory hole left
when the native gray wolves had been eliminated by man.
Instead of twenty to thirty-pound canines, the Eastern variety was more like
thirty to fifty pounds, with some males approaching seventy. The Reis family
had killed a whole pack and posted their naked skulls as a warning. Most
normal people didn’t do that, thus reinforcing the idea that the Reises
weren’t normal people, confirming why we were here in the first place.
Also confirming why we, as in the FBI’s Special Threat Response Team, were
handling the call instead of the local Bureau agents out of Albany.
The STRT used to be called the Occult Task Force, but that got changed
recently, about the same time that our leadership changed. Our group flies
or drives around the country, responding to any situation where special
circumstances may have occurred. By special I mean supernatural, but the
Bureau can’t actually bring itself to utter that word, so we use special
instead. It’s supposed to be less scary than the term occult. Less scary to the
public or to Bureau agents, I don’t know.
