They were on the right path.
Callen had something else.
“They were raised by their grandfather, who passed away last year. He came here with them.”
DAMN!
That would fit too.
“Okay, so the grandfather is approached by whoever is doing this, and does it because it’s tied to their own heritage back North. He then has his grandsons, the doctor and nurse get involved, continuing the tradition. OR—and hear me out—they did this back home too. After getting here, the grandfather dies, and the two grandsons take over.”
Ethan was profiling it.
“But then what happened to the person who recruited the grandfather. That would be two elders, so to speak, that had to die. We know that the gnaw marks matched the last two victims, and the one from three-ish years ago.”
Elizabeth could only think of one person.
“Joshua Stormchaser died last year. Can we find a connection to the two families? Can we find a way to prove they knew each other?”
They kept working.
Gene found it first.
“Their cabins are adjacent to each other. The Stormchasers and the Dreamwalkers are neighbors.”
This was the first viable reasoning she’d had since this whole mess started.

“Go,” she said, itching to go interview a doctor and nurse.
Tony smiled.
“Have I ever told you how smart and wonderful you are as my boss?” Tony asked.
That immediately made her sigh.
“What did you do, Anthony? Because I’m hanging up since I actually have work to do.”
He stopped her.
“I have trace done, but you’re not going to like it. You’re going to be…cranky.”
Well, yeah.
When he started a conversation just like that, she tended to be bitchy.
“What happened?”
He just told her.
“I swabbed the bone whistle found outside of Rayna Running Wolf’s home. It has a sample of DNA found on it thatdoesn’t tie to the other two. We re-ran it. We have a third person. Don’t kill the messenger.”
She sat there.
“What do you mean we have a third person?” she asked. “I only had two that grabbed me.”
She thought.
