“Yes, MATE.”
Their AI went there, and it definitely put a chill in all of their bodies.
“It’s the symbol for feast. You were likely meant to be dinner. They stashed you away to kill you later.”
Oh, well, that made her happy to be back, and it made sense since they’d let her live.
She was betting they were going to make her suffer. The crazies always got off on shit like that.
The last thing that Elizabeth wanted was her liver served with Chianti and fava beans as she was alive to watch it happen.
This screamed ritualistic, and she didn’t like playing that game with cuckoos. There was no one crazier than someone hell-bent on keeping a cultural norm going.
It never ended well.
Honestly, she hoped Ethan was going to be back on his game so they could shut this insanity down before it bit her in the ass.
She was going to need a profile.
ASAP.
When nothing more was said, Gene, who was her partner in the field, took over. He glanced over at the Archangels, and knew they needed to get her cleaned up and the evidence off of her before they did anything else.
It was going to be a very long night for many of them.
“We need to regroup,” he said. “Give us some time with Elizabeth to get her situated and ready to head back out.”
That worked for the team.
Ethan focused on Tony.
They were going to leave him and Jaxon in charge until they could get Elizabeth’s blood, and everything gathered up.
“Duke and more agents are coming. When they get here, keep everyone on this scene until we get back. Elizabeth is going to lead us to the cave, and we’ll pull a late night clearing it out.”
Yeah, she wasn’t sure she could do it.
Only, how did she tell them she couldn’t?
Right now, she was fighting to hold on, and what she wanted was to cry.
Seriously.
The adrenaline was crashing, and she wanted to weep buckets at how closely they’d come on this one.
Immediately, Tony became a team player, and he didn’t even give her crap.
That told Elizabeth all she needed to know. They’d all been afraid.
“We’ll hold it together. Leave us as many bodyguards as you can. I like my liver in my body.”
That was the plan.
Ethan continued.
“Saint, Gryph, and Ivan, stay here. Make sure the teams are safe. Axl is also on the way, and we’ll get more agents. Our location is tracked.”
The men were more than fine with that.
