Honestly.
Callen went next, keeping them going.
“Did anyone bother him at the bar?”
Both men shook their heads.
“Nah. Everyone loved Thomas. He was a fun drunk. Oh, he’d fuck up your car, but because he was puking in the back, not being mean. He is a good dude,” Joseph admitted.
Both Callen and Rayna were wearing coms in their ear. They could hear Elizabeth.
“Ask if he was seeing anyone,” she stated.
Rayna took that one.
“Who was Thomas shacking up with?” she asked.
Both men laughed like there was a joke.
“He already slept with everyone on the reservation, so no woman was getting on that ride,” Oren admitted. “Well, he slept with everyone except you.”
Well, that was never happening then, or now because he was someone’s snack.
From her peripheral, she saw Caspian move, and he didn’t look happy. It was clear they were listening too.
Elizabeth had one last question.
“CJ, ask aboutThe Hollow.”
Since his wife wanted to know, he went there.
“Have either of you heard aboutThe Hollow?” he asked.
Oren looked befuddled by the question.
“What’s that?” Oren asked.
Joseph looked just as equally confused.
“Is that something we should know about?” he asked. “We’re just one beer in, so we’re not drunk yet, but I’ve never heard of that before. I think I’d remember that. It sounds spooky.”
That told them all they needed to know.
This was a dead end.
The men were in their forties, and may not have had family that taught them about it. It seemed that unless you had elders here who were privy to it, the younger generations wouldn’t know.
Callen only knew because of Timothy, not his own father, Wyler.
“Ask if he mentioned anyone came to see him, or talked to him before he went missing,” Elizabeth said. “As if he felt like he was being threatened.”
Callen relayed it.
The men thought about it.
“Roland called him for his money. He pretty much said he’d ban his ass from the bar if he didn’t pay up. That was a big threat.”
Yeah, and not the kind she was looking at, either.
