Gene slapped her on the ass.
“I think‘that’was what he was referencing.”
She snorted.
Deep down, she knew they were busting her ass to lighten the mood for Ethan. That’s how they circled the wagons—so to speak.
“Focus,” she said, as they got into the vehicle and out of any direct fire of potential arrows.
Ethan did just that.
“I’m not shocked they didn’t‘see’anything. You know the rules of the rez.”
“Yeah, die of poverty but do it with a chip on your shoulder,” Callen stated.
Rayna knew that he wasn’t wrong.
As they got situated, Koda was holding a tablet, and he was sitting with MATE next to him.
“How’d it go?” he asked.
Honestly, Callen was grateful he wasn’t in there. The half-breed bullshit in front of his Marine son would have put him into a rage.
“About what you expected,” he admitted. “We got nothing.”
That tended to be the story of their lives.
Rayna shrugged.
“We know that someone likely followed Thomas, and his partner was waiting for him in his closet or home. You heard the Stormchaser brothers. There were forty Natives there. Packed in like sardines. That’s a lot of potential suspects.”
And no cameras.
There weren’t any in the place, and there never had been security. That’s how Ethan and Callen could sneak in the back door as kids and steal booze.
Rayna considered something else.
“These are going to be dudes, right?” she asked.
Ethan confirmed.
“My protégé here, Agent Thorn, had a very good point. It’s a patriarchal tribe. Men rule here, and it is logical thatThe Hollowwould follow suit.”
Elizabeth was curious.
She read the profile, but still.
“And your assessment on that?”
Ethan didn’t hesitate.
“Ninety-ten,” he admitted. “Easily.”
Okay, well, that worked for her. Ethan wasn’t exactly off his game, and gender of a killer was the easiest trait to nail down.
“We need to track down his friends,” Elizabeth said. “I wasn’t expecting anyone to notice if he was followed. We did get two names of his drinking buddies.”
That they did.
