What the hell?
Was the old generation out of their ever-loving minds when it came to this insanity?
That had to be it.
Only, before they could speak, Tom continued, digging the very deep hole for them.
Ironically.
“They are asking permission to investigateThe Hollow,” he said, and immediately, Callen corrected him.
“No, we’re going to investigate, as murder gives us jurisdiction. The permission is for the Secret Service to be laying low to help monitor our daughter-in-law’s safety,” he admitted. “They are exclusive of each other, and one has far more concerning precedence than the other.”
Callen tried to make it clear that they weren’t backing off of the investigation, since their wife was handling it.
Honestly, the pushback they were getting was ridiculous.
What kind of complicity did it take to let some lunatic run around killing a person a year to fend off the Wendigo’s wrath?
Then, twist up their family so much that they managed to convince them to take over after they died?
That was all kinds of crazy and problematic.
“We need to consider this,” Tom said. “The Hollowis not something to mess with. It protects us, and it has always been part of our lives. If you are a good human, and you don’t break tribal laws, you have nothing to worry about. You will be safe.”
Again, what the unsanctimonious fuck?
Who got to decide a‘good’human from a‘bad’human? Looking at him and Ethan, many people might think they were‘bad’, but they weren’t.
Since when was another person allowed to be judge, jury, and executioner?
This was insanity times ten.
From where he sat, Abe agreed with his fellow council member.
“We’ve lived amongThe Hollowfor many eras. It is part of us. We should leave it alone. TestingThe Hollowis something dangerous, and not a good idea.”
Well, that wasn’t happening.
Callen didn’t care if it was Jesus Christ himself taking a life on the rez.
Murder.
Was.
Murder.
This wasn’t sixteen ninety-three.
This was the current times, and murder wasn’t permitted on or off of a reservation. That the elders knew and let it happen…
It ended here.
That was the bottom line. They now knew it was happening, and it was time to put a stop to it. What couldThe Hollowdo to them?
They had protection.
Despite security, his kids were here, and so was their family. For all he knew, they could be here next year when this wackadoo went hunting for an offering and decided CJ and EJ were just like them and deserved to die.
