Oh, she knew.

Reaching out the window, she grabbed a branch and shook it. That made Demeter and Michael look up at her.

She began signing, and Michael was far better at it than Demeter.

So he got it.

He whispered to Demeter, so that he understood.

Then, she glanced back at Callen.

I’m going out the window.

Jesus.

His wife was insane.

There was no way he could let her go alone. All of security was on them or the kids. Ivan, Gryphen, and Uriel were not available.

Yeah, he was going out the window too.

Clearly.

Getting up, he watched as his wife climbed out the window, and got to the closest thick branch there was. Holding on, she lowered herself down, but still had a good drop. When she let go, Demeter caught her in his arms, and then placed her on her feet.

“Thanks, D,” she said, giving him a kiss.

“Thank me after I catch Callen. He’s much bigger and heavier.”

Callen dropped down, landing on his feet.

“I heard that, asshole,” he whispered, making the man grin.

“You were supposed to.”

Elizabeth stopped them.

“Stay on this treehouse. We need to talk to Wyler. Keep them safe. We’ll be good. I need a gun.”

That was all they had to hear.

Michael reached around his back, and removed a holster and Glock from his person to hand to her.

It was his backup piece.

“Thanks, Saint Michael of the overly armed.”

He winked at her.

“Go. Stay inside, or we have to divide up. Uriel isn’t back, and we’re all you have until morning.”

Oh, well, she wasn’t fucking around and finding out. That was a hard no.

She’d gotten abducted twice here in the fifteen years she’d been a Blackhawk.

That was more than enough.

Callen gave them both fist bumps, and then shoved Demeter onto his ass for the‘BIGGER’comment. The whole time, the man laughed, trying to be quiet.
