Great story, your not a writer per chance? Sounds like something Dan Brown would use in his first chapter. You have me hooked.

Yeah I thought the same thing. He does sound like a writer. Very intrigueing story and if it is creative writing it was well done. No stiff descriptions or other tell tale amateur writing tricks that pull the reader out of the moment and make them realize they are reading a "story".
If this IS real...then I agree with XXXN3O. Whatever this thing is, it is sentient and intelligent. I do NOT think threatening it is a good idea. Instead either ask it what the offer is, or ask it to leave you alone (say it is upsetting your dog if that is easier) and get it to respond. Communicate, don't just make threats.

3. How long have you been an officer? Based on your stated military and police training, where are you taught to reach for your service revolver without any stated or implied threat of violence, much less a weapon shown by the perp? Between yourself and a full grown German Shepherd, wouldn't you think it likely that he could have been subdued quickly, if necessary, without a firearm used?
This is an entertaining read and reminds me a bit of a Harry Dresden novel. But I question its veracity since there seems to be too many holes in it.

"Lets talk about this offer."
If you get a reply, you will know it wasn't just a one-time "messing with you" deal.
