That was when Ethan sighed.
“Really?” he asked. “Last I looked, I’m a grown-ass man and I don’t need a babysitter.”
Gene busted his ass.
“I meant Callen,” he said. “He’s hot.”
That had the big man grinning, and he played along to keep Ethan calm. If there was one thing he hated, it was when everyone thought he was less than safe in the field.
“I mean, once the ladies go Callen, they never go back,” he responded, busting both Ethan and Gene at once time. “And there is no bigger pussy than Gene.”
That made Gene roll his eyes.
Someone was spicy.
For damn sure.
Since they were feeling better, now that a weight was off all of them now that Elizabeth was staying in, he had a question.
“What do you want to do about Rayna? She’s downstairs waiting for you?” Callen asked.
Oh, Elizabeth was getting one thing off of her to-do list.
“I’m going to talk to her, and then, I’m going to send Uriel off duty for the night. When he leaves, I’m going to point the Chief of Reservation Police right at him. Uriel needs to get laid and stop stressing that every pretty woman is going to judge him.”
All three men shook their heads.
“She’s hurt and can still play Cupid. That’s dangerous for everyone,” Callen joked. “Let’s hope that hit to her head didn’t throw off her aim and get the wrong person.”
Elizabeth explained.
“Uriel checked in with me earlier. He’s smitten, but scared stupid that if he tries, he’ll fail. Rayna, on the other hand, is more aggressive. I’m going to just give them a little push. Someone needs to get some joy out of being here. God knows it’s not going to be any of us.”
That was the damn truth.
Damascuswas a difficult pill to swallow for them.
“And Dad?” Ethan asked. “While creative to ground him in the treehouse, at some point, he’s going to need to be let out.”
She knew it was time.
“I’m going to face him down first. He’s been in timeout for long enough.”
Callen was to the point.
“Sooner is probably better than later. He’s literally pissing out of the treehouse window. Michael and Uriel wouldn’t give him any bathroom breaks for the stunt he pulled running from us.”
Well, Wyler would get over it.
“He pees in the woods all of the time when he’s hunting. This is the most normal thing he’s done,” Ethan admitted.
No one said anything more.
It appeared that the explosion between Elizabeth and Wyler was about to go down.
How it would end…?
They weren’t sure. Honestly, it was going to depend on who was far more stubborn.
