He blushed.
Someone nailed that.
“Anyway,” MATE said, waving her arm and dressing more like Benjamin.
There were two Goths in the house, and one of them was checking the other out.
MATE hopped up on the counter, somehow managing to make it look like she was sitting there as Chris’ information flashed onto the screen.
Someone was learning.
Clearly.
“Thank you, MATE,” Chris said. “Enlarge quadrant three.”
When he did, Elizabeth saw it. There was very little meat on that bone, but the gash to it told the tale.
“You were right,” Chris admitted. “His throat was cut and likely from ear to ear. He didn’t walk into the woods. He was carried.”
Again, she had confirmation that there was more than one person behind this. Elizabeth was feeling pretty secure with that fact.
“Did your people get back from the cabin crime scene?”
Chris shook his head.
“No, they’re still there. I can tell you from the uploaded pictures they have taken, the two footprints are a matching set outside of Thomas Adsila’s. MATE?” he asked.
She tag-teamed her father.
“They were a men’s size ten,” she said, finishing for him. “That’s one of the things I’m computing as I sit here,” MATE stated, looking over at Benjamin.
The man said nothing, but he was still watching her.
MATE continued.
“The pictures of the spray pattern inside the cabin indicate arterial spray, and the arrow that was removed from the cabin and the ones shot at you are all a match. DNA is running on them too.”
That worked for her.
So far, she wasn’t unhappy about the way this was being handled, but most of it was Chris, Tony, and MATE. She needed to see what the others could do.
They’d had all night to impress her.
“How about what was on me after the abduction, on the knife, and on the deer head?” she asked.
She pointed at Ben.
“Here’s where you dazzle me, or I tell my ME to ride your ass until you learn to like it.”
Ben got it.
“We pulled two samples of DNA from your clothing. Upon cross comparison, there were definitely two people who had contact with you.”
Well, she was aware of that.
“What can you tell me about the DNA?”
He was to the point.
