Behind the Curve - The Farm

When the pandemic hit, nobody was expecting it to be as bad as it was. The economy barely survived the lockdowns, but it staggered along until civil unrest shattered people’s hope of better times to come. With it being an election year, more and more Americans were waking up to the idea that they truly were behind the curve. The hope was if they did not get sick, run out of money, or could avoid violent mobs, they would be fine. 

The Sheriff's Department is forced to hand the investigation of the bones to the state police. The case has become too big for the department to investigate alone. The group complies and tries their best to mend fences within the law enforcement community and the neighbors. Surprisingly, their generosity is much appreciated. 

Finding themselves as one of the only places to buy food, the group’s market has drawn a crowd and a wary eye from the authorities from the very start. The detainment centers need to keep the food coming while the economy crashes. Fuel becomes an issue as the virus and shutdowns cause shortages all across the country. Rob had wished Angelica hadn’t put the beat down on Agent Kendricks, but he also knew his chances of stopping her would have been small. The group struggles to keep everyone safe and sane as the conspiracy slowly unfolds.

Unknown to Angelica, she had more than one guardian angel looking over her while she was in Kelso. He wasn’t somebody who ever had regrets, often to his own detriment. He wasn’t nice, he wasn’t kind, but he always tried to do the right thing in the end. His mission in life is to find the woman who gave him hope and a reason to fight back. He has to warn her, but it might already be too late.
