Garth Myers hadn’t been completely up front with his commanding officer. Like many other Texas residents, he’d heard about the legendary Chupacabra, but he hadn’t dismissed it completely out of hand. Not the way his boss did. Garth’s maternal grandmother was Comanche and believed in a lot of the legends and spiritual tales. When Reed Fortune’s body was found, she was the first one Garth called.

“El Chupacabra,” she told him in an ominous voice. “But killing people now? Something is very, very bad.”

He didn’t need his kaku to tell him that. The minute he’d taken a look at the body of Reed Fortune, ice had crept over his spine and a chill had encompassed his body. People whispered about the “goatsucker”, the vampire beast that sucked blood from its victims. Who destroyed the bodies.

Those who claimed to have seen it often gave conflicting descriptions but there were a few things they all agreed on. The largest living thing it ever killed was a goat and it looked like an alien offspring. The general description had it standing anywhere from three to five feet, with strong, muscular hind legs and no forelegs, only short arms that ended in huge claw-like appendages. The head resembled a coyote but larger, with a wide mouth and sharp teeth punctuated by two wicked-looking fangs. Some said the eyes were blood red. Others, that they were blacker than midnight.

Several artists had created renderings based on the descriptions. The differences really were minimal. No matter how you looked at it, the beast was enough to terrify anyone. It certainly scared the shit out of Garth.

When he had culled all he could from the websites he pulled up, saving key ones in a bookmarked folder on his computer, he began his search on the mysterious Craig Stafford, who apparently had the ear of presidents and kings. And governors. A pioneer in the field of electronics, he had parlayed one small manufacturing company into what was now a worldwide conglomerate. There was certainly a lot of information to be found, not unusual for a man of his wealth and position.

Until about five years ago, that is—when he virtually disappeared from the public eye. Information on his companies was released only via PR staff. He gave no interviews, conducted no press conferences. Although he still ran the ship from his corporate headquarters, it was rare to ever catch sight of him.

And it didn’t take long for Garth to find out why.

Five years ago, Craig Stafford’s wife and daughter had been killed by a wild animal. It happened when they were vacationing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where they owned a cabin that, from its picture, Garth figured cost more than most rich people’s homes. Apparently the mother and daughter were out behind the cabin, waiting for Craig to finish a business call so they could take a walk in the woods. According to the media, he heard their screams, ran outside at once, but when he got there it was already too late.
