The entrance she’d escaped from was pretty well hidden between the trees and another wall of stone.
Well, they would be going back.
At some point.
As she trudged along, the hair on the back of her neck was standing up, and she didn’t think it was the cooler rain giving her goosebumps.
Yeah, she was being watched.
There was no doubt in her mind.
They were out here.
Oh, and she was easy prey without her gun or backup. For now, she focused on her surroundings.
She needed to be bagged for evidence, and then to break down and cry.
Only, she wasn’t sure in which order.
And that was problematic.

Finally, the rain was slowing down, and they had backup coming to help them.
Unfortunately, the Blackhawks knew that they couldn’t trust anyone from the reservation to help search for Elizabeth.
Ethan knew that it could be anyone doing this, specifically since the deaths were once a year.
The only tribe member allowed to assist was Rayna. She’d been with them at the time when Elizabeth had disappeared, and they figured she could be trusted.
As for the techs, they were packed up, and stuck there. They couldn’t risk losing any of the Marines to escort them backto their vehicles to return to the office. They also couldn’t let them help search.
All they needed was to lose another person, and Axelle would lose her nut when she found out.
Fortunately, they had equipment coming, so the Marines could go back into the trees when the weather cleared a bit.
There was some blue sky heading their way, that they could see, and that would be optimal searching weather.
The Marines didn’t want to risk stomping on the ground and muddying up the tracks.
On top of that, they were waiting on reinforcements to show up.
Basically, more agents.
Their agents.
When they radioed back, Ethan had called Alex and Duke, wanting them to show up. They would need help searching.
Axl was also on the way.
For them, the bottom line was that the more boots on the ground, the better.
