Benson was in a fantastic mood. The buildup had taken a lot of effort, but they were here. He approached the laboratory where Wren Sando was working. He had it on good authority she was still eating breakfast. With a wave of his hands, the two stationed guards nodded and vacated the doorway.
Before entering, he pulled a palm-sized device from his blazer’s inside pocket. With the tap of a dim icon, it began working. Benson stepped into the room, knowing the recording feeds would be on a loop. If anyone watched this feed, they’d see nothing but the same five minutes over again, where the room sat empty and nothing moved.
The glowing blue energy field drew him toward it, and he grinned as he saw the crouched Watcher in his cell. The alien stood tall as he approached, not making a noise.
Benson spoke to him then: at first a low growl, then a series of clicks and groans.
The creature was silent for a moment before answering the question.
Benson lost his smile.

REVENGE: THE RESISTANCE 2
There’s a dark shadow over Red Creek.
Once a best-selling horror author, Paul Alenn is in a slump. His wife and daughter are across the country, leaving him alone in his Central Park-adjacent New York townhouse.
When his sister calls, asking for help packing up his estranged mother’s house in his old hometown, Red Creek, he decides to put the past behind him and face his demons.
What he finds back home is an ongoing mystery that stems from his childhood, a time he has no recollection of. When a boy is taken on his second night in the Creek, Paul starts to unravel a dark past…one he hadn’t even known was buried. All paths lead to the orchard and the eccentric owners, but Paul doesn’t know if the shadow he keeps seeing is real, or his imagination’s cover-up of a traumatic event.
With help from his former best friend, his brother-in-law, and a cranky old sheriff, Paul digs up the truth of the shadow looming over Red Creek.
