It amused Elizabeth. All she had to do was something so unhinged and they’d all behave.
She was writing that one down for another time.
“Do we know if he walked or drove?” she asked, seeing his old truck in the driveway.
Rayna knew.
“He likely walked. I’ve busted him a few times with a DUI as he drove the mile home.”
She wasn’t shocked.
Elizabeth recalled Callen telling her many, many times that the biggest crime he’d dealt with on the reservation was DUIs and drugs.
“Well, then, they might have been at the bar that evening. They might have followed him, one sneaking out earlier knowing he was there.”
That was a good possibility.
They’d have to see if they’d get some help from the owner of the bar, and anyone in there.
What were the chances of that?
Not good, and she knew it.
As they saw the tech van pull up, and forensic scientists get out, she whistled.
They headed her way.
“There’s blood all over the inside. A bone whistle that needs to go to Doctor Magnus, and there’s a shoeprint outside the one window. You’ll know which one when it comes to the arrow sticking out of the wall.”
The woman nodded.
“Yes, Director.”
“Cut the log to get the arrow tip. See if there’s any human DNA on it.”
Rayna cringed.
“Or don’t cut the log. The council…”
She looked over at her.
“Gryphen, are you reloaded?”
The man laughed.
“You have a perfectly fine unregistered gun from Saint Michael of the Illegal. Why do you gotta abuse mine?”
Rayna got it.
“Or just cut out the log.”
Yeah, she thought as much.
“Watch yourselves, and if you hear chanting, a whistle, or anyone in the trees, get the hell out of there.”
Well, that sounded ominous, and made the tech team twitchy.
When they headed off, she tapped Ivan.
