And since Gene’s hand was on his ass…that told her all she needed to know.
By some miracle, they were holding it together.
“Okay, team,” she said, updating them with what she’d just found out with the two interviews. “I talked to Elkie, and I talked to two-thirds of the council. Lance was MIA.”
Ivan updated her.
“He had a talk with Wyler, and then headed off. That was probably an hour ago. He’s off in the woods doing Native shit.”
“Where’s Wyler?” Elizabeth asked, wanting to keep all the chicks accounted for until this was over.
Ethan shrugged.
“I haven’t talked to him,” he admitted.
Ivan shared.
“He’s with Caryn,” Ivan said. “Michael said they went upstairs, and he backed out of the house. Demeter is on the patrol, and he is on the front porch with Muriel, keeping an eye on things.”
That worked for them.
At least someone was having sex.
They certainly weren’t.
Elizabeth updated them.
“Where’s the Chief of Police?” she asked.
All of security pointed at the vehicle.
“She’s inside with Uriel,” Ivan said.
Oh, well…
She’d not open that door.
Instead, she’d pretend she didn’t know that, and update them. Takoda suddenly had a little notebook, much like Gene used, so she was betting he was learning fromALLof them.
“Well, Elkie didn’t tell me much about her boys that we didn’t know, other than they live above the bar. She also taught them to hunt with a bow.”
Everyone knew why that was pertinent.
“How about we have something to eat here, and discuss?” she asked.
That worked for them.
Then, Ethan wanted to show her the space for where his mother’s library would be.
“Winn, can you get the food?” Ethan inquired.
The big man nodded.
Heading back to the other vehicle, Raphael grabbed all of the fast-food bags from the car, and passed them out. Then, he opened the door to the vehicle containing Uriel and Rayna.
And a Marine had to bust ass.
When he pulled the door open fast, the two people were just talking.
