From where he stood, nearby, Ivan laughed in amusement.
“Well, you broke Chris. Good job, Elizabeth. Now, you have more problems.”
She was amused.
“Pig Latin?” she asked, making him smile. The crinkles by his eyes told the tale.
Tony, on the other hand, was more than happy to give her some speculation. In fact, he dove in going whole hog.

This just got that much more dangerous.
And creepy.
It appeared Halloween had come early for Elizabeth, and this was definitely going to be a trick.
NOTa treat.

Not at all.
Why?
Well, that was simple.
She was a talker by nature, and in combination of him watching her, and the silence, Raye was getting twitchy.
