Page 215 of Chaos has a Name
Yeah, she didn’t want to be assaulted and then killed. The last thing she needed was her family finding her remains and having to deal with that trauma.
That made her heart race again. While she wanted to freak out, she had to stay calm.
And.
Think.
“On the map, pinpoint where I was, and where I am now. Please use the distance between the points to give me an estimated distance that I was dragged.”
MATE worked on that, and as she did, Elizabeth was focused on the assailants.
These persons were no longer sticking to the customary traditions of one person a year. Now, she was on the potential victim list, and there was no doubt why either.
Apparently, they didn’t want her digging into this. There was no shock that they had focused on her when she and Ivan split up.
“Oh, is this a good time to tell you that I completed my research on the symbols on the bone that Doctor Magnus found?”
Well, why not?
It wasn’t like she didn’t have time on her hands. She needed to keep her mind off of the spiders, the two killers, and whatever else was in that cave.
“Sure.”
MATE shared.
“It said,‘Hollow keeps the calm’,” MATE offered. “My system isn’t finding any reference to that. You might have to figure that one out on your own.”
Likely.
Only, for now, she’d focus on escaping.
Later, she’d worry about that.
She really hated cannibal cases, and this one was going down in history as her least favorite.
MATE finished her calculations. In front of her, a holographic topography map appeared.
“Here is where you were, and here is where you are,” she offered.
Okay, she could work with this.
“Which way is North?” she asked.
The map spun, so she was facing it, and that would work for her. Worst-case scenario, she knew Timothy’s cabin was due north, and not that far away.
It was a few miles.
If she couldn’t get back to the crime site, she could hoof it back to the cabin. All she needed were markers that she knew.
“Mark the burial grounds. I’ve been there before to visit Timothy’s grave.”
A marker appeared.
“Can you mark the current location of most of Ivan’s team?”
A marker appeared, but MATE warned her.
“I can’t contact them. Communications are down due to damage to your vest.”
