Page 514 of Chaos has a Name
It wasn’t good.
She pleaded with him as Muriel was waiting to take her inside the cabin.
“Please save him.”
He kissed her on the forehead, and then sent her away with Muriel. All he could hope now was that the man was still alive, or he had the sneaking suspicion that Rayna wouldn’t want him to stay there.
He’d be the scapegoat.
As he grabbed his black jacket, so that his skin would mostly be covered if he had to blend, the rest of the team was ready.
Elizabeth had her hair pulled back into a bun, and she had a gun slung over her shoulder in case she had to pick off anyone at a distance.
Ivan was pulling his tactical jacket over his body armor.
“Michael, you’re on the deputy director. Uriel, you’re on extraction. Raphael and I are going to try to get as close as possible to get Wyler out, and Rayna’s father.”
Ivan looked at Elizabeth.
“Do I have to tell you what happens if you let someone sneak up on you and take you? Wyler said there are two. Don’t get abducted. If there are three, like Tony said...”
Oh, she was aware.
“I’m not getting snuck up on again. Let’s just get Lance and Wyler out.”
Raphael had to know.
“And the abductors?”
She glanced over at him.
“Put them down if it comes down to the survival of Lance and Wyler.The Hollowends here. If there’s a third, chances are this person will be catching up. They kill together. That’s their MO.”
Oh, and she was putting a lot of faith in Tony. That was for damn sure.
As for everyone else, the boss had spoken.
It was hunting time.
On the rez.

Inside The Trees
His Hunting Blind
From where he was perched, he could see that Lance was actually alive.
He was moving around, but his mouth was gagged, and his hands were bound in front of him.
Well, at least they hadn’t killed him yet.
Wyler couldn’t hear what the camouflage-wearing men were saying, but the one man was talking to Lance, and the older man looked…scared.
As he took it all in, Wyler really hoped that Ivan got his ass there and fast. He only carried a few cartridges for his gun, and he didn’t want to take anyone’s life.
When the one guy in camo pulled a knife, and then grabbed Lance by his hair to yank his neck back, Wyler knew what he was going to do.
