What she knew was the back door of the clinic was open, and near the council house.
This opened the door wide open for possibilities.
She just really needed to go back to the office, pull out the whiteboard, and think this through. Not being able to talk it out in front of the Chief of Police was holding her back.
And she didn’t like it.
Not.
At.

Truth be told, it was jacking with her process. Now, she needed to get back to basics.

“We’re going to head in,” she said, needing to ditch the Chief of Police. “Uriel, you’re still on Rayna. Keep her safe, and don’t leave her side.”
The woman looked confused. The last question concerned her, and now, she was being sent off duty?
What?
She was missing something, clearly.
“I’m done working?” she asked.
Elizabeth nodded.
“I’m going to go back to the office and sit there going over everything. I need to start back at the beginning. I like to do that alone,” she admitted. “So I can focus. If we move out, or I hear anything, Uriel will tell you.”
That seemed to help calm her down.
“Oh, okay.”
Elizabeth was semi-honest.
“I need to see everything laid out and on a whiteboard. That’s how I solve things. Don’t think I’m ditching you. It’s just my process.”
Uriel touched her arm.
“It really is. Elizabeth wouldn’t ditch you. I promise.”
Well, that helped.
A lot.
As they all got up to head to the vehicle, Ivan, Raphael, Uriel, and Gryphen all stopped dead in their tracks, making Elizabeth crash into the back of Ivan.
That was never good when she had a synchronized walking spectacle with her security. That tended to mean they just heard something.
Oh, shit.
What now?
“What happened?” she asked, knowing that they didn’t do that unless someone sent out a call on all of their coms.
