“Love you, Kitten,” he said.
Elizabeth was to the point.
“I’m good. I have to go, guys. We’re almost there. Love you, and see you in DC.”
Then, she hung up before hearing if anyone else was okay with her doing this.
All of the men in the car laughed.
“We hate when a wife does that,” Boone said. “Just so you know.”
She shrugged.
“Yeah, and I hate when four men gang up on me, and think they can tell me what to do when I’m perfectly fine. I’m in body armor, I’m armed, and I’m literally just going to talk to a woman. What’s she going to do? Throw her kid at me and run?”
They didn’t go there.
They knew Elizabeth. She might like it if someone tossed a kid at her.
“That’s the house,” Rouge said, as they parked down the street a bit.
The light was on, so that was a good thing. Maybe there would be someone at home. Now, they just had to get in and out without anyone seeing them.
“Okay, let’s head inside,” she said. “Remmington and I will go to the front. You two sketchy men head to the back to get access.”
That worked for them.
Thankfully, it was later at night, and dark out. That would work to their advantage.
When they reached the door, they heard the other two at the back of the house talking over the com.
“We’re going in,” Rogue said, after he got the lock open.
Elizabeth went to knock on the door, drawing attention to the front door for anyone inside.
Only, that’s not what happened.
The door opened slightly.
Uh-oh.
In her world, that never was a good thing, and she was suspecting the worst-case scenario.
Why?
She could smell a very familiar smell.
BLOOD.
She’d done this way too many times with there being a bad outcome from it too.
Remmy knew too. Their body language changed, as they prepared to go inside.
“We have a problem,” she said, pulling her gun, and making Remington do the same thing. With the toe of her boot, she pushed the door in, and walked into a fucking bloodbath.
On the floor, there were victims.
A man.
