Page 477 of Chaos has a Name
It just made her laugh.
“It’s never too soon. You know I love an inappropriate response to just about everything. Next time, don’t nearly kill Takoda, though.”
Callen winked at her.
From where she sat, Rayna considered the question.
“I mean, none of this makes any sense to me. This is way out of my wheelhouse. I thought we were leaning toward The Hollow switching up at death. Abe is very much alive.”
Ethan had this one.
“Abe’s children are young. He might be watching over them to make sure they can carry on. This could be trial runs.”
Yeah, the FBI had to handle this.
Rayna hoped Elizabeth was ready to be back at this rodeo next year if the FBI lost this year’s trail.
When Rayna raised her hand, Elizabeth glanced over.
“Yeah?”
“Do you have a list of people you’re thinking are behind this? Or is Abe and his sons the only people you’re focused on?” she asked.
Oh, boy, did she ever.
“Yeah, I do.”
She was curious.
“Who?”
Elizabeth kept her father off of that list and for good reason. They all knew he was on it, but she clearly didn’t. That told them she was damn new at working on a murder.
“The only people I have on it are Abe and his kids, and then Elkie’s sons. Their father recently died, they live above the bar, where Wyler’s two friends drank, and where Thomas was last seen alive. That’s it. Technically, the Stormchaser sons saw the victim last.”
Callen added one thing.
“Along with a bar filled with drunk Natives.”
He had a point.
Elizabeth didn’t have a lot, and she was hoping that this wasn’t just random Natives working together. The DNA was sketchy, and that worried her.
“That’s my list, and for day two, it’s thin.”
All around her, no one commented on that.
As she ate her burger, she would have given anything to have a whiteboard, but with the Chief of Police here, she couldn’t go there.
It sucked to be working out of her head.
There was a lot going on there.
“Let’s finish up our lunch, and regroup,” she said. “I need to think this through.”
They knew what that meant. She might be going back to the office.
Possibly.
