Ivan sighed.
“Go,” he said. “I’ll update you with your assignment, after I kill Elizabeth.”
Uriel only nodded before he followed after the woman.
When he was gone, Ivan kept his voice low, but the tone said it all.
He wasn’t amused.
“If that was to play Cupid, I’m going to be bitchy,” he admitted. “You’re in danger. Uriel’s libido can wait. Your life can’t.”
She reassured him.
“Seriously, Ivan. Do you think it’s a good idea to let the woman who dropped this case in my lap, and who has pulled the cover off of years of homicide walk alone through the woods?”
Damn.
She had him there.
Immediately, Ivan backed off. She was right, and he knew it. The cop would be in just as much danger as she would be since she’d opened this can of foul worms.
“Your point is valid,” he muttered. “But I don’t have to like it!”
That made her laugh.
How could it not?
“Besides, Toady, I’m good,” she said.
Was she?
Meh.
She wasn’t sure, but she wasn’t letting Ivan know that. He was stressing plenty right now. The last thing he needed to know was that she was too.
Heading over to Chris, she knew he was uncomfortable out there. He was looking around like he felt the change in the atmosphere too.
“I don’t like the look on your face, my love,” she said, quietly.
Oh, well, neither did he.
“I don’t like this at all. I feel like we’re being watched, and every time I’ve felt like that, we were being watched. It’s like the chase with Sally. I felt it then.”
Yeah, tell her about it. Now, she had to hope it didn’t go south like that one had.
So, she got him to focus.
“What do we have?”
He showed his wife.
“The Chief of Police dug up some of the remains. Normally, I’d bust balls, but honestly, I want to get the hell out of here, sooner rather than later.”
Elizabeth could count on one hand the times he’d said something like that. Only, his feelings were valid. She was feeling the same.
“How about COD?” she asked.
He completely ignored her question, and instead started babbling in unrecognizable words.
