“I can escort you around the reservation. Granted, most people here admire the Blackhawks for their donations to the reservation, so you probably will be okay alone, but I can help.”
Callen’s hand was on her thigh, and she knew he was willing her to be gentle.
The more she riled the natives, the harder his job was going to be with the council.
So, she backed off.
Honestly, she was a Blackhawk, and she was so pro-Native, that she’d made a few of her own.
CJ.
EJ.
Charlie.
Christopher Anthony.
The last thing she’d be doing was shitting on a culture that was half of her own children.
“I’d love an escort,” Elizabeth said, easing into being back for both the Natives, and Callen.
When he patted her thigh, she knew he was grateful for her willingness to go easy.
Rayna nodded.
“Oh, yeah, there’s something else I forgot to mention. We know he disappeared and suspect that it was his hand my dog dug up for one reason.”
They were all ears.
“What?” Callen asked.
“On the rock just outside the camp area, there was a pile of folded clothes, neatly left there.”
Both Ethan and Callen tensed, and looked at each other. Something about what she said had resonated with them.
But what?
Elizabeth saw it, but since they didn’t say anything, she covered for them.
“Thanks for that information, Chief,” she said. “I’ll make note of it.”
Immediately, Rayna stopped her. She felt weird being called Chief or Chief of Police when Elizabeth had offered up her own name.
“You can use my name. It’s weird when people call me chief. Especially, white people. It seems…I don’t know…racist.”
Oh, she let that go, but it took all she had.
There was no doubt that this woman wouldn’t accept her easily. Well, she’d do the work to make that happen.
Only, now, her only concern was her husbands. They were definitely caught off guard by something.
Now, she needed to figure out what that would be.
“Understood, Rayna. We’ll get our things together, and we’ll meet you out in the parking lot. We have to load up our gear. Can you meet us there and give us a few to get set up?”
She nodded and stood.
“Thanks for helping me, and making this non-problematic.”
