Nope.
Immediately, to save his bestie’s ass, Tony changed the subject before she got cranky.
“I swabbed the one bone I found that had the symbols, aboutThe Hollowand was a whistle. I don’t have the DNA back, yet, but when I do, I’ll compare it to the two samples we ran.
Well, that worked for her.
“Okay, Team. Good job,” she said, knowing she still had no solutions, only more issues. “Keep doing your research for me.”
When she began walking away, Tony fell into step with her, and he was curious.
Because he was worried.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
For now, back upstairs to get her gear, and then, back out. The day was not going to stop and neither could she. She’d scared the killers, but that would only last so long.
“I need to hit the council house. It’s early, but old men liked to do early things like sit around and bitch about a white woman ruining their day.”
Tony was to the point.
“Maybe duck?” he asked.
She knew what he was saying.
“Anthony, no one ducks better than me. Don’t worry,” she said.
Oh, he’d worry.
How could he not?
When he grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze, she got it. Old habits die hard, and he was accustomed to worrying about a woman he considered his sister.
“I’m tough to take down, Tony. Don’t forget it,” she said, and then focused on the team.
“Get that trace processed, and call me if anything pops up. Everyone else, let’s go.”

“I’m going to keep going,” she said to Ethan and Axl. “Check in with Chris continually to see if they find anything that might change the profile.”
They would.
“I need to know why they killed someone eight years ago, and then stopped. That’s an aberration, and whenever I get one of those, I usually get the mother of all clues to chase. That will likely be the piece of the puzzle we need to focus on.”
Blackhawk nodded.
“We will. Be careful, Elizabeth. You can’t duck an arrow. They move just as fast as a bullet.”
Oh, she was aware.
Tell her something she didn’t know.
Glancing over at the rest of the team, the ones riding with her, she updated them.
“I’m going to get my vest and meet you at the car. I had some messages from the team. I’m going to quickly check in on them.”
When she went to walk away, Takoda followed. She heard his footsteps behind her on the way to the elevator. No one else followed.
