“Yes, he and his father hunted together all of the time. That was their hobby. Then, they’d donate a lot of meat to the other Natives who couldn’t hunt.”
And that made her think.
What if he wasn’t hunting humans, and his son was still around? What if he was donating the flesh? Because no one could eat a whole human in a day.
It grossed her out, but she had to go there in her head.
“Thank you,” she said.
When Callen saw she was done, he was grateful.
“Thank you for your help,” Callen said, holding his wife’s hand in his.
Abe was to the point.
“You need to get this wrapped up. Already, the people here are getting nervous. We’ve had complaints that the FBI is nosing around.”
Yeah, trying to save people.
Who complained about that?
WHO?
She was to the point.
“We’ll head out when we’re done, and not until then,” she said. “I’ll find who is behind this. It’s only a matter of time,” she added.
Yeah, she definitely wasn’t leaving before this was done. They wanted her gone, and that told her that she needed to not bail.
She needed to close this.
And be done with it.
As they walked out, she was quiet until they were outside the council house. Once there, she was curious.
“I need to think for a moment.”
Callen got them outside the door, and they took a seat on a bench where they could have privacy. Rayna, Takoda, and Gene weren't there, so they had to be wandering around.
“What’s going on in your head?” he asked.
Well, since he wanted to know.
“A few things,” she admitted. “Something hit me, CJ. We know thatThe Hollowis eating its victims, right?”
He nodded.
“How does two men eat a whole person in a day? When we found the newest bones, they’d been cooked and free of meat. That means…”
He lifted a brow.
“Oh, no,” he said. “You think what Tom said about Lance might be true? That he’s donating human flesh to feed Natives?” he asked, whispering.
She nodded.
“Where is the rest of Thomas Adsila? We know from what happened to my Mom, Sam, that he was fed to people.”
Oh, he was aware.
