She let him talk.
“The head nurse we also hired is Chata Dreamwalker. He’s Algonquin along with his brother, Sitsi. They moved thewhole family here. We gave them land and they built their cabins so they could assimilate with the community.”
She stared at him.
Was he serious?
Algonquin?
Wasn’t that where the whole ‘worship the Wendigo’ originated?
“And what did we learn about them before hiring them?” she asked.
Callen was honest.
“They went to medical school and nursing school. They both are in their mid-thirties, and they fit into the community. No one had any history of issues. Nothing came up on the background check.”
Ivan owned it.
“I did the check. They were clean, Elizabeth. They were productive members of society.”
Only, before she could say anything, Ethan went there.
“When we started digging into Wendigo Psychosis,” he admitted, “we found it came from the Algonquin tribes. Axl and I assumed that it was just transferred here when Natives migrated.”
That was exactly what she’d been thinking.
Maybe she didn’t need a whiteboard, after all.
“We also know that Tony said the bones from Thomas Adsila were disarticulated with precision. A doctor would be the top choice. I never considered the medical community,” Elizabeth said. “Simply based on the fact that they haven’t been here as long.”
Gene knew what she was saying.
“Unless they came here, and were taken under the wing of whoever is doing this. When did we hire them?”
Callen shared.
“Four years ago. That was the first thing we did on the reservation in honor of Timothy. We got medical care here.”
And they knew that the one skull had been in the ground for around three years. That fit the timeline as to starting out as a skull muncher.
It also could attest to why there was a three-year gap in between the kills that matched.
MaybeThe Hollowwas training for the last few years.
That was a possibility.
“I need more than just that. Find me something.”
Callen was still researching the two people, and so was Gene. It was a race to get Elizabeth some of the information. The Clinic was attached to the council house, and they were almost there.
“What?” she asked, when she saw Gene found something.
“They are half-brothers,” he admitted. “Like Callen and Ethan. Their father had multiple children. That might explain why the DNA was showing the percent of DNA match it was.”
Yeah, finally.
Elizabeth liked this.
