Page 399 of Chaos has a Name
Somehow, she was pretty sure she’d have this case solved by now if she did.
When they pulled up to the man’s home, she had a full vehicle. The Chief of Police was with her, while Uriel was in a tail car, the one he drove over to her place last night.
Later, they could spread out, but for now, she had no time. There were interviews to handle.
“Okay, Gene, contact Ethan, and see what he’s doing,” she said.
He could do that.
“If he’s available, patch your vest into his tablet so he can see us walk the scene. If Axl is with him, and he should be, I want him to be there too.”
Gene was rattling off a text to his husband, and it didn’t take Ethan long to text back.
‘I’m logging in. I’d love to see the scene.’
He showed her the message, and that worked for her. While she’d read his profile, Elizabeth knew that they could change on a dime if something came up.
Ethan seemed quiet that morning, and he hadn’t put up too much of a fight about going to the office.
That told her he was worried about something. For her sanity’s sake, and his well-being, she wanted him where he was safe.
She was crazy like that.
“MATE, patch in Doctor Blackhawk via my vest camera,” Gene said.
The hologram appeared, and Rayna jumped.
“What the fuck is that?” she asked, as the woman turned and smiled at her.
“I’m a who,” MATE admitted. “You can call me Zen or MATE. I’m her AI. I’m the one she sends to dig into all of your secrets, Chief of Police Rayna Running Wolf. You take a lot of pictures of your dog.”
The woman blinked.
“Is this for real, or am I having some sort of medical issue?” she asked.
Callen laughed.
“Oh, you’re seeing what’s real, sort of,” he said. “When you’re within ten feet of her, she can clone your phone and get your information.”
MATE glanced over at Callen.
“Someone likes dick pics,” she said.
Immediately, Elizabeth raised her hand and threatened her AI.
“And if he stops sending them to me, MATE, I may just activate that code…”
MATE stared at her.
“Who pissed in her cereal this morning?” MATE asked.
Ivan didn’t miss a beat.
“Everyone. That’s her kink,” he said, earning himself a slap to the back of his Marine fade.“HEY!”
Then, they all ignored him.
Not far away, Rayna just sat there.
