“I know that they’d be able to access the building at all hours of the night since there are no windows in most places, but it seems too…I don’t know, obvious. If we do have to interview, maybe best-case scenario, they saw someone there and can give us an idea of what they look like.”

They could do that.

Elizabeth had a process, so they were going to abide by that.

Their fingers were crossed.

“I’ve also got to call Gabe. Devon said he is in our circle, but I vaguely recall seeing him. Then again, I’m usually miserable at social functions, and trying to find an escape route.”

Yeah, that was the truth.

Ivan chimed in.

“I’ve seen him before,” he said. “The last time was when we were at that fancy thing you had with the president two years ago. He was on the guest list. We always get the list so we can make sure no one is there that you’ve pissed off as of late.”

She laughed.

Oh, well, sue her.

She pissed off a lot of people.

Currently, there were some senators gunning for her since she took down a group of them for trading kiddie porn.

Which was weird since that was her goddamn job.

“Thanks, Ivan,” she admitted. “Still, I need another character review. Gabe knows everyone, and if he is rich, and hisfather was rich, they likely rubbed elbows with Gabe or gave him money. You know how he likes a political donation.”

Callen was curious.

“Did we donate to his campaigns?” he asked, not sure if they had or not. They mostly stayed out of politics.

When you were in The District, you were either up to your eyeballs in politics, or the antithesis.

She was the antithesis.

Her opinion stayed out of her work, and for good reason. She hated almost all politicians just based on how scummy they tended to be.

Case in point, the pedo senators.

At his question, she actually laughed.

“Hell no! He’s a dick. Who would let him run this country?” she asked. “You know how he is.”

From where Gene sat, he was now curious.

“Uh, didn’t you all vote for him not once, but twice?” he inquired.

Yeah, they did.

Why?

The devil you knew.

PERIOD.

“I didn’t say I made the brightest decisions,” she stated, making Gene laugh.

Because they were burning daylight, Elizabeth looked at her watch.
