Sometimes, dealing with family is hard.

When Mom scheduled a father and daughter shopping trip to the mall, I was more than a little anxious about it. It wasn't that I didn't like Archie. I did.

It was just awkward. Hey, unless you've had a father you never knew you had thrown at you after twenty-three years on earth, don't judge me.

Unfortunately, the day turned into more than just awkward when Archie freaked out on me in the mall.

He thought he was going crazy.

The reality was much, much worse.

Now, as was per our usual it seemed, we were in a race against time to uncover and deal with the big baddie before it was too late for a close friend to Archie.

And just maybe too late for us too.

Because the big baddie we were up against this time was like nothing we'd ever faced before.

It was a really good thing we had a full team at our backs, huh?
