not been the ‘king of trickery’ himself. That was pretty slick, Lyzee. Good thinking.”
    She nodded. “Chris, I’m going to have you head back to the lab to get everything ready. I need to contact the next agent on the list to go out and get them prepped too.”
    Callen pulled the file up on his tablet. “Oh look, it’s Thomas Rickard and Cyra Austin.” All three of them knew that the ME had a thing for the woman, but since she’d been back it had been awkward between them.
    “Can you work with them?” Ethan asked, knowing the last thing they needed was relationship drama in the field.
    “Yeah, Thomas is fairly easy to get along with when he’s in the lab.”
    Just the fact that the man didn't say a word about the woman spoke volumes. Plus , it was clearly on his face. There was trouble on the horizon.
    “How about Cyra?” Elizabeth asked as she pushed for an answer.
    Chris didn't know what to say to that. Not because he didn't want to give anything away to his bosses, but simply because he wasn’t sure if he could pull it off or not himself. “I think so.”
    “Okay, go get the team ready,” Elizabeth said, walking him towards the door. As she was about to head out to the agents to give them their assignment, Ethan called to her.
    “Oh, Elizabeth Renee Blackhawk, can we have a moment of your time?”
    H ell! Here it came.
    “Yeah?” she asked, leaning against the door and crossing her boots at her ankles. “What about?”
    “I don’t want you to do this,” stated Callen. “I know I say it all the time, but I just have this sick feeling in my stomach.”
    Blackhawk had to agree. “I wish you would tell Gabe no.”
    She stared at them both. “I can’t say no to my boss. You knew when we took this job, Ethan, that this could happen. If it were you, would you tell him no?”
    Blackhawk knew their backs were to the wall.
    Callen stood. “Please. Don’t do it.” How was he supposed to explain to her that there was something that didn't feel right about it all? They had one body and the note calling her out. It freaked him out. Callen couldn’t handle the idea she could be harmed. Elizabeth was the mother of their children.
    “One day , we’re going to be able to stop having this conversation. I’m safe. I’m good at my job, and I don’t think that because I have breasts that I should get told to stay home. You go out all the time, Cal. Ethan travels too. It’s the same damn thing.”
    Blackhawk laughed. “No, it’s not. No one left a note with a dead woman and specifically wants us on a scene. That’s all you and while I’d like to be surprised, you’re a trouble magnet.”
    “I’m going to ask that you both support me on this. I want you to help me and have my back . What you’re doing is the opposite, by making me feel like I’m in danger and a liability.”
    Neither man spoke.
    “I see. So, which is it?” she asked, and then shook her head. “Never mind. I don’t think I want to know. It’s just going to piss me off even more than I already am. I’m going to go get the team ready. I’ll see you later.”
    Both men flinched as she slammed the door.
    “Well, that went about as horribly as I could have predicted. One day, I hope that I master handling all this a little better,” Ethan admitted. He really hated fighting with Elizabeth.
    Callen crossed his arms over his chest. “ I just feel off about all this.”
    Didn't he get that? “Yeah, I understand.”
    Callen didn't think he did. “No, I really have this feeling that this is a very bad idea, Ethan. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s like when Granddad would tell us to not do something or bad was coming.”
    Yeah, that didn't sit well either. While he believed in gut instinct, he didn't believe in Native mojo, even when it was what brought him and Elizabeth together initially. It was his dreams that brought him to Salem. “Cal, don’t worry. It’ll be fine.”
    The man looked at him and hoped that he was
