Bob Moore decides that Sheriff Thornton isn't kidding and gets Cindy and their son into the SUV and out of the house in less than ten minutes. Destination: unknown.
Sheriff Thornton's confrontation with the men in black is interrupted by a phone call from a distraught farmer just west of town. Thornton and his chief deputy rush to the scene of a grisly murder/suicide. The entire family--father, mother, and three small children--are dead. The men in black, led by a Captain Thiel, follow Thornton to the farm. They finally take Thornton's suggestion to leave--but they also take a computer from the house.
