SCIU is hunting abnormals.

Behind the Rolling Thunder Farm and Rescue, on wooded government land live a group of Sasquatches. When they come to the farm for help, will SCIU figure out, the twins living there are the children of Helen Magnus and James Watson?

Helen was in bed trying to read, but she just couldn't concentrate. Will was still upset about how she had handled Abby's condition. Nikola was MIA which is never good. Helen figured he'd show up at either the worst possible time or just in time. You just never knew with him, she smiled. Pili had gotten to the underground Sanctuary and had just sent her an encrypted email. That gave her an update on everything including Ashley's condition. Ashley was still the same, only managing to emerge for 5-10 seconds at a time. At least one thing she knew was her twins were safe. The she smiled at how Gregory had turned out a lot like his father James Watson. Georgina had James' laugh but was more like her into medicine. Thank God for Jessica and Christopher, she couldn't ask for 2 better people to care for her children.

- That same time in MT -

Everyone in the farm house was a sleep. The farm was quiet since Jess had rehomed the 2 horses she had just rehabilitated. Which only left the family's milking goats, chickens and the dogs. Faith, the Rottweilers, had taken to sleeping at the top of the steps. She woke and scratched at the master bedroom door, it woke Jess. "Faith, go lay down." She mumbled as she rolled over and spooned up to Chris. She took a deep breath why was it he smelled so good all the time. If she wasn't so tired she would have taken a bite out of the muscular chocolate bar.

She bolted up when she heard 1 faint clang of the field bells. Her movement woke Chris, "What's wrong, beautiful?" Jess was straining to hear, "I could have sworn I hear 1 of the bells." There were 2 bells at the north side of the property. Her grandparents had them there in case of an emergency. Before cell phones or walkie talkies a bell could be used to signal for help. These days Jess used it like a doorbell to get Daisy's and her clan's attention.

Just when Jess was laying back down. Thinking she must have imagined it. Bam... Bam... (Gun shots) Chris and Jess jumped up pulling on their clothes. As Chris opened the door to their bedroom the kids were opening their doors. Jess called Gregory into the bedroom, she had the gun safe open. She handed him a 9mm for Gina and a hunting rifle for Gregory. Chris instructed Gina they were not to leave the house unless told to. Jess had a 12 gauge over her shoulder and her 38 in the back of her pants. "Here Babe" She handed Chris his double shoulder holster. Jess called Faith to follow them outside. When the kids were about 12 Jess had starting adding security features like motion lights, trail cams and had the whole property fenced off with 3 strained of barbed wire. She blamed it on having 2 soon to be teenagers and being a single parent. Most of the town had bought the lie.

Just as Jess and Chris were jumping into the farm's gator, when the motion lights north of the house went off. Jess could just make out several hair creatures running their way. It was Daisy and about a dozen others, some with cuts and chunks of hair missing. Jess yelled for the kids as she rushed the sasquatches to the barn. All she could get out of Daisy is they were being chased by people with guns, and they weren't hunters. Jess had Gina get the special meds and bandages in the kitchen that were Sasquatch approved.

Chris drove the gator as Jess was too livid. Chris drove towards the direction of the bell in case there were any others that might need their help. Jess was looking thought night vision binoculars and saw movement. Faith was riding in the back of the gator, she started to bark. Chris stopped near a fallen log and it was a good thing.

They had just gotten out when there 3 men in military looking uniforms with guns appeared. "Right!" Shout Jess as she neared pointing her gun at the man on the far right. Chris had pulled his two guns and pointed them at the other 2. Faith snarled, ready to take them all on. "Don't move" the bald head man shouted at Jess! "You are on MY Property! I would suggest you don't move! Faith HOLD!" Faith snarled but held her ground. "You are interfering with federal business!" Jess didn't flinch, "Put your guns down and show some ID then." A strange noise that sounded similar to gun fire came a little to the Northeast. But neither Jess nor Chris moved a muscle. "Alright, put your guns down and I'll show you my badge." Jess narrowed her eyes, "Babe, keep your guns up, while I check this ID." The bald man didn't seem to like that, but to save time he put his gun down took a step towards Jess. Faith was about to move. "Faith Hold!" The man pulled out his badge, FBI. "Ok, you're FBI. Why are you on my property? And who do I bill if you have damaged any of my fencing?" "We are trying to catch a pair of diseased brown bears." Jess nodded at Chris to lower his guns. He placed a hand on Faith and told her to relax.

The FBI man gave a ridiculous story and did admit to seeing some damage to the fence. But assured her it wasn't their doing. Jess noticed Chris walked over to the moss covered log and sat down with Faith. Jess decided to spin her own BS story. She said she had half a dozen horses on her property and if they got lose or injured they would be hearing from her. It must have worked because as soon as a call came over the radio, the men left. She watch them leave then looked at Chris confused to why he was siting. She realized he wasn't actually sitting on the log, but hovering in a seated position. He gave her a funny look. Jess used the binoculars to make sure the men were gone. Chris rolled over the grass cover log to relive it was one of the male Sasquatches. They loaded him into the back of the gator as best they could, and headed for the barn.

Gina had gotten more out of Daisy by the time they got back. Daisy and Gina pulled 3 slugs out of the male, which turn out to be Daisy's mate. The first light of dawn was creeping over the horizon. Jess stood just outside the barn, sick to her stomach. She had never thought about the government hunting down her friends. She needed to call Helen, she'd know what to do.

- Old City Sanctuary -

Helen had only managed to doze when her cell phone rang. "Hello," Helen answered not quite awake. "H, it's me." Helen sat straight up in bed, she was wake now. "Jess, what happened? What's wrong?" Jess explained what happened and that she didn't know what to do. Helen was already in her closet pulling out close. She told Jess she would call her back in 2 hours. Helen got down to her office and started digging. 2 hours later she was sick to her stomach, it was SCIU.

Helen tried to compose her voice as she dialed the phone, so not to scary Jess. "Jess, it's bad, really bad." Jess sat down on the couch as Helen laid out what she expected to happen next. She expected some suits to come knocking on her door. They may or may not try to search the property. And if they realized the children were hers. She wouldn't put it past them to take them all into custody. Helen gave her 2 options and said she would call back in 8 hours for the answer. When Helen hung up she started put things in motion. To get the kids out of there.

- Montana -

Jess explained to Daisy that Helen said she could bring them to the Sanctuary. Where they would be safe and if they wanted to return in a years or 2, Helen would arrange everything. Otherwise Daisy and her clan should travel north and hope that SCIU gives up. As for Gregory and Gina they would have to go to the underground Sanctuary now. Gina looked at Jess "But what about you? What if they come after you two?" Jess hugged Gina who was about to cry "I need to have an answer for your mother when she calls back. And as far as you and Gregory are concerned you will be leaving and going to safety. That's that and I won't hear anything about you staying." Gregory wanted to argue but he knew that tone.

Daisy and the other adults snuck off back to see if they could find the rest of their clan. And to explain Helen's offer of help. Daisy's mate stayed with the children. Chris took Jess into their bedroom to talk over their options. Chris made the case for them to go with the kids to the Sanctuary. They could return after a year or 2 when it was safe. But Jess didn't like the thought of leaving the farm. It was her grandparents farm, leaving it seemed like turning her back on them. If they left there was a chance that they'd lose the farm, if the feds decided to take it.

They had 2 hours before Helen was to call back. When 2 black suvs pulled up the drive. Jess had put her ankle holster on and Chris was still wearing his double holster. But heck this was Montana. The bald headed man was back with 3 other agents and walked up to the house. Chris stayed on the porch as Jess met them half way. "Ahh.. Mr. FBI, did you find your bears. Last thing I need is any of my animals getting sick." "We only got the one. Did you lose any of your horses?" He asked with a look of distrust. "I'm still looking for 1. I was planning to visit my neighbors to see if he was over there." The man reached in his pocket and handed her a card, "I'd recommend you keep your guns handy. If you see any sickly bears, shoot them and give me a call. We'll pick up the body to prevent the spread of any bio hazard." He leaned in and in a threatening tone continued by adding. "If you or your family were to get infected. There's no telling how long you would have to be quarantined. In the worst cases, I've seen entire property be inhabitable for 5-10 years." Jess looked at the card in her hand, then at the man with steel in her eyes. "Well, good luck with your hunt. I still need to get my fence back up." The suits went to get back to their vehicles. With his hand on the door he stopped, "I forgot to ask, why you have a bell and a gate at that end of your property." Jess had her hands in her back pockets, standing tall. "We four wheel and a gate makes since and as for the bell. That's been there since my grandparents owned the property. They did have 3 kids, a bell carries a lot farther then a parents voice." They eyed each other carefully. The man seemed to somewhat buy the story and got in. Jess didn't move hold her stance as the 2 vehicles drove away.

Jess was shaking, to mad to even think. She looked around and saw a 4ft green fencing post. She picked it up and began beating a nearby tree. Chris walked up behind her as soon as she dropped the post, having taken out her anger on the poor tree. She turned, grabbed his shirt and started to cry. Dam, if that wasn't a threat to take everything she had worked for away: her farm, friends, the twins, and her husband not to mention her freedom. What could she do? Gregory and Gina stood outside the barn door watching all this, and not sure on what they could do.

Helen had to redirect one of her relocation teams. She only had 3 teams to move the residents from the closed Sanctuaries to the new underground one. She was sending a team of 4 men to the farm, to take them to safety. Jess had agreed that Chris and her would leave. She wasn't about to wait for round 2 with Mr. FBI Jess confessed "H, I'm scared, what if they follow us? What if they set a trap and capture us?" Helen did her best to sound confident "I know your scared. I'd be lying if I said this isn't serious. That's why the team will be there about noon tomorrow. I want you all safe. I'll do what I can to make sure the farm stays as it is. So you can return to it when. Trust me, the one you'll be meeting is Bill. He's been move my residents to the new house. You'll be safe with them, they know what to do. We're not going to let those SCIU basters get the best of us."

Jess told the kids to finish pack their 2 bags. While she took the dirt bike and went next door to the Millers. Jess knew the Millers and knew they were aware of the Sasquatches in the woods. Barb and Jess sat on the porch. She told Barb about the gun shoots and being threatened by SCIU. Barb told Jess that they needed to get out of there now. Jess agreed and explained that she wanted the Millers to come get the animals and any of the four wheelers or equipment they wanted. Jess wasn't sure they would ever be coming back. Barb agreed to come at 6am and grab the chickens, goats and dogs. They would grab the other stuff later.

Only packing 2 bags meant there were many things they couldn't take with. Gregory and Gina were having a tough time packing. Jess packed one of her bags with just pictures and family mementos. She was sure if they left SCIU would tear apart her house. Especially when they figured out she was housing Helen Magnus' kids. Jess spoke with Gregory about the ability to burn the house and barn to the ground. She didn't want them getting anything. It took Gregory a few hours to come up with a device that would start a fire about 15-20minutes after it was set.

The next day a mattress delivery truck arrived, Helen's in disguise. Not all of Daisy's clan wanted to go. It was decided that 2 elders, Daisy, her mate, and the 6 children would go. After Daisy and the others were loaded, Gregory and Jess stood in the living room. She gave Gregory the nob and he started the device. Then he went to the barn and started that one. Before hoping into the truck and driving off.

Helen knew the end was coming quick. She had just asked Henry to start moving some their files to a secure cloud. Helen had to pull another relocation team to investigate a report of abnormal sea life near the British Virgin Island. To her amazement and delight the team had found 7 young merfolk. Their telepathic abilities had not full developed but they seem to understand the team was there to help them. Helen was having that team meet up with the kids in Tokyo. So they would only have to make one trip to the entrance in Mongolia.

Helen's special cell phone rang the kids had just arrived in Tokyo. "Doctor, we've arrived any word on the other team?" Helen got up and closed the doors to her office "Yes Bill, they will be there tomorrow. Is everyone doing ok?" "Yes Doctor, the Sasquatches weren't too happy on the plane but we got through it." "Bill, let me speak with Jessica." Bill walked over to Jess and handed her the phone. "H, we just landed. Daisy and the others hated the flight but everyone's better now that we've landed." Helen sat at her desk and closed the file folder that had been in front of her. "Well, you'll be taking another flight after a second team meets up with you. They are bring some new and very special residents that will be housed where you are going to be. I know you'll be able to keep everyone calm and explain why flying is necessary." The kids walked up to Jess. She held the phone from her ear so the kids could hear to. "H, the kids are with me now. Anything you want to say?" Jess handed the phone to Gina "Mo- I mean Doctor, it's good to hear your voice." "That goes double for me," Gregory chimed in. "I miss you and will see you just as soon as I can. Take care of each other my Darlings. Now let me have one last word with Bill."

When the 2 trucks arrived in the small Mongolian village. They were greeted by many happy faces. There were yaks and horses wondering about. It looked as thou they made rugs and blankets as a living. The trucks pulled into a very large pole barn like building. They moved the weaving machines to revile a large opening with stairs to one side and a freight elevator to lower goods down with. It wasn't until they were down a long way that they came to what looked like a processing place almost like customs. They met a woman named Pili. She was very kind and explain they needed to be checked over, before entering the Sanctuary. They had blood work done, eyes and finger scanned. When they and the Sasquatches were done Pili personal walked them to the Sanctuary. They stood in amazement looking at this underground city. The whole journey had been stressful. Jess put down her bags, and put an arm around each kid. "Well, I guess that is why it took so long for your mother to build the new house." "Yeah, cause she built a city" Gregory said.
