Her husbands were staring at her like she’d lost her damn mind.
“Uh, what are you doing?” Callen asked. “I know you’re not thinking of playing commando in the reservation woods.”
She was honest.
“I’m going in to get my goddamn father-in-law, her dad, and two nuts. Keep searchingEVERYONEwe have on our suspect list. I need to figure out who the third one is—if there is one. If there’s not, I’m kicking Tony’s ass for trace contamination!”
Oh, the men were not happy.
Not.
At.
All.
“Maybe Gene should…,” Ethan began, only to get one hell of a look from his wife.
Immediately, he shut up. That was her‘go ahead, and I’ll bust your chops since I’m your boss’look.
Oh, he knew it well.
“Gene should stay here with me, so he can watch all of us,” he said, redirecting that.

“I need to go. What if…?”
He lifted her chin and whispered to her softly.
“We are Archangels for a reason. We’re damn good at extracting and taking back prisoners. Raphael can blow shit up with some toothpicks and a miracle. Michael is killer at hand-to-hand. I’m able to hide in plain sight and catch people off guard.”
She pointed.
“Why does Elizabeth get to go then? Surely, I know the woods better than her!”
He stared into her eyes.
“Honey, she makes us look tame. If there’s someone who needs to be saved, she’s deadly with a gun and marksmanship. She’s like a sniper, and can move carefully. We will save him,” he promised, hoping that he was still alive.
If he was being dragged behind them…
