Demeter nodded his head. Then, he pointed, Michael wasn’t that far away, and it appeared he was Demeter’s backup until morning.
Do you want to go in?Demeter spelled out, painfully in really awkward ASL.
She glanced back at Chris, Ethan, and Gene who were soundly sleeping.
Why disturb them?
It had been a long day.
She shook her head and pointed at Callen’s phone beside him on the floor. Then, she sent a text to both Michael and Demeter.
‘If it gets dangerous, we’ll go in. If not, I’m staying here. They are trying to fuck with me. They think because they managed to get me once, that I’ll crumble. We’re good. If you feel threatened at all, shoot. Don’t go into the woods. They need leverage to throw me off my game.’
She hit send, and then tossed Callen his phone back. She knew when they both got it, and they read it at the same time.
The two men nodded.
Okay, well, she wasn’t going back to sleep. Elizabeth was just lucky that she could run on less sleep now that she had kids.
Because it looked as if she was.
When she sat down, Callen looked wide awake too. It appeared they were standing watch together, for now. At some point, she’d catch some sleep when the wackadoos in the trees got bored.
Oh, and they would.
At some point, they’d move on and go back to their hole until morning.
For now though, she’d never get back to sleep. That had been a very minuscule nap.
When Callen sat up, Chris rolled over, making more room for both of them.
So, she sat beside him, and it appeared they were going to be up a while.
The whistle in the trees was proof of that.
Not far from where Ethan had left it, Elizabeth saw his phone on the one ledge of the treehouse.
She was going to‘borrow’it. As she picked it up, silently, she got access to it, and went into the shared drive they all had.
Callen got it.
She was going to work to be ready for the morning when they had to do all of their interviews as they played catch-up.
Well, that was fine with him.
Callen did the same thing, so he could help her out. She’d been back here when they went to the crime scene, and if she needed information, he could share.
Because she was curious, she went into the drive that belonged to Ethan. It was password protected, but if you knew the man, you knew his password.
She entered it.
‘LyzeeMyLove/GeneMyLove’
Then, it opened, giving her anything he had come up with for the profile she’d asked him and Axl to work on yesterday.
She read over it.
What caught her attention first and foremost was that he highlighted one thing.
