“Science doesn’t lie,” Tony admitted. “Chris and I reran it. I would have had him tell you when he called, but I literally just printed the results out. There are three sets of DNA. Two that match, mostly, and one that doesn’t.”
Oh, holy shit.
Elizabeth had a migraine.
“Send me it, Tony. I have to go.”
If she stayed on the line, she was losing her mind. This was batshit insane. Each day, the suspects went up in count.
When she hung up, she sat there, and Elizabeth said absolutely nothing.
Like she was going to blow.
Wisely, no one said jack shit to her for at least four minutes as she processed what she was learning.
Then, she surprised them.
“Okay,” she said. “I’m good,” Elizabeth added as she opened the car door, leaving all the men to stare at each other.
They hadn’t been expecting that.
As they got out, they focused on Elizabeth. She looked perfectly fine.
“Are you going to lose your shit?” Callen asked. “Because we’ll step back.”
She started laughing.
And laughing.
And laughing.
Elizabeth explained while she wiped the tears from her eyes.
“This is a shitshow. It’s been a shitshow from the start, and there isNOway I’m piecing this together. We first had one killer. Then, we had two. Now, there’s three. Fuck it. For all I know,EVERYONEis the killer, and I’m just being led on a wild ride to insanity.”
Oh, boy.
It was rare she melted down.
In fact, it was once in a blue moon.
“I’m being jumped all over the place, and this time, I really don’t think it’s intentional. I really think that whoever is behind this has lost their nut. Let this be a lesson. Don’t eat people!” she said, loudly.
When she just shook her head, and started walking toward the council house so she could get to the clinic in the same building, they followed.
Oh, but they gave her space.
Rayna was next to Ethan.
“She seems like she’s about to grab her family and leave.”
Oh, well, that was a distinct possibility.
Ethan knew she leaned heavily into forensics, and now, she couldn’t.
They didn’t have Chrissy, and they’d dropped the ball a few too many times. That put her at a disadvantage.
In his mind, Ethan sent out a prayer.
