forward as a signal that the woman needed to be greeted.
Callen was grateful for the pinch. “Hello, Doctor Adare,” he said, walking forward, his hand out. His eyes flickered up to his brother to see if Elizabeth was indeed serious.
Ethan shrugged.
Doctor Adare didn’t miss how the man had his arm over the director’s shoulder as he walked in, and it also wasn’t lost on her that the woman’s arm was around his waist.
Almost like lovers.
It was confusing.
Elizabeth Blackhawk was m arried, wasn’t she? From everything that she heard from Christina and the tech team, Elizabeth and Ethan Blackhawk were madly in love. She’d seen it herself and yet Elizabeth and Callen Whitefox shared an intimacy that didn’t seem to bother Ethan Blackhawk. He had even been playing absently with a piece of her hair in her ponytail, and she couldn’t believe the badass boss was tolerating it.
She felt like Alice after falling down the rabbit hole.
Nothing was what it seemed.
Automatically her hand came out, and she accepted his handshake. Doctor Adare had to look up at him. Callen Whitefox was just as tall as Ethan Blackhawk, and now she felt like a munchkin in Oz. “Hello, Special Agent Whitefox,” she greeted him, and forced a neutral smile onto her face. The minute they shook hands, she felt her whole body flush with warmth. Oh yeah, this field assignment was going to seriously suck.
Sexy agent plus scary boss and a few corpses. Great.
“It’s nice to meet you, Doctor Adare. Elizabeth has told me a great deal about you,” he said, warmly. The feeling of her hand in his was really nice. She was delicate, just like the china doll she resembled.
Elizabeth lifted an eyebrow and looked at her husband. They passed a look between them that was only theirs to understand. Yeah, it was going to be interesting out in the field.
“Callen, give the doctor about thirty minutes to pack up what she needs, and then meet her at the Denali. You can drive her to her house so she can pick up some clothes and you do the same. You both leave for Red River shortly.” He wasn’t sure either of them was listening to a word he said.
“My clothes are in the Denali,” he answered, still watching the woman, as he stepped backwards to stand far enough from her. Doctor Adare was a puzzle, and he had questions for his brother and sister-in-law.
“We’ll need to swing by my house,” Doctor Adare said, softly.
“Pack for cold weather conditions,” added Elizabeth. “Red River gets snow, and from what Gabe emailed me, the bodies are off the beaten path and in the outdoors.” Elizabeth didn’t need her ME getting frost bite in a skirt out in the snow. “There’s FBI gear in the storage room for snow retrieval. Take it with you,” she said, watching them both.
“Yes, Director,” she answered and turned away. “I better get packing,” she answered nonchalantly, despite how nervous she was inside.
“I’ll see you down at the Denali, Doctor,” Whitefox said, heading for the door, pulling Elizabeth back against his body with his arm over her shoulders.
“I’ll be ready for you, Agent,” she replied, knowing that was nothing but a load of bull shit. Nothing in the world was going to prepare her for that man and what was coming, she could just feel it.
Red River Sherriff’s Station
James Duffy hung up the phone and looked at the Deputies standing in his room. Right now one of them was stationed out by the find, and the other two were in his office. They had followed procedure for the situation and called into Quantico for help. Their county didn’t have an ME or a processing lab, and with five dead bodies they were going to need all the help they could get.
“That was Gabriel Rothschild out of Quantico. They’re on their way,” he said. “They want us to keep the site secured and just keep it as quiet as possible, so the killer doesn’t come back and try to move the corpses.”
“Great,
