Page 401 of Chaos has a Name
Oh, he would.
“We’re just going over the information to make sure our profile stays the same,” he admitted.
That worked for Elizabeth.
At the man’s door, Elizabeth was being extra cautious. There was no way she was just walking into a building without covering herself.
Behind them, Ivan, Gryphen, and Uriel were covering their backs.
Pulling her‘borrowed’gun, she used a gloved hand to open the door, and the toe of her boot to push it.
That’s when she scanned the cabin, making sure they were safe.
There was no one inside that she could see.
Keeping her gun out, they began surveying it. That’s when she knew what she wanted.
“Axl, text Doctor Leonard and give him my location from MATE. Tell him send a smaller team here to do trace. We have a lot going on.”
Like what?
Oh, maybe the blood smears on the back of the door, splatter on the ceiling, and the bedding was eviscerated with what looked like knife slices.
She was betting that Thomas Adsila had fought as he bled out.
Oh, and fought hard.
Axl did what she asked, and before long, he told her that they were on the way.
As everyone stood in there, Takoda beside his mother, Elizabeth kept looking.
That’s when she saw it.
On the man’s dresser, there was a bone whistle, just like had been found on the campground scene, and Rayna’s porch.
It was the calling card.
“So that’s like a calling card, right?” Takoda asked.
She nodded.
“Yeah, it appears to be.”
Ethan was checking out the scene from Gene’s vest, and he chimed in.
“It’ll be a bone that most likely belongs to the victim, or the previous one. I can’t imagine bone carving is an easy task,” he suggested.
Then, he saw it.
“The closet door is open,” he said. “How much do you want to bet that one of them chased Thomas or stalked him from the bar, and the other was already in here, lying in wait?” he asked. “So they could double-team him.”
Oh, that was a bet she wasn’t taking. There was no doubt in her mind that he was right.
Tucking away her gun, she glanced over at Ivan and his team.
“Keep us safe. I’m going to start looking around and don’t plan on having my gun out,” she said, making sure they understood that Takoda was their concern.
The Marine nodded.
