Well, then, this should work in their favor.
He hoped.
Because they had work, Chris switched gears, and was curious.
“Where’s the case? Local?” he asked.
Ethan nodded.
“Yeah, get your gear. Elizabeth wants to be there by eleven. We have a little time to get there. We don’t know what morgue we’ll be using. It’s going to depend on how deep we are in remains.”
He was good with that. He didn’t mind commandeering an ME’s lab outside of the FBI.
“How many bodies?” he asked, getting mentally prepared for what was to come.
Ethan laughed.
Oh, Chris was going to be amused.
“None.”
Chris paused.
“There are no bodies?” he asked. “Then, how do we have a case if there’s no remains?”
That was a good question.
Ethan told him.
“She’s picked up random skulls, eyeballs, and jars of fun. We’ve got a collector,” he said, sick about that, but the devil you knew.
“Oh, no. Not jars full of remains. That’s just gross.”
And he was right.
It was.
Chris sighed.
This was going to be a nightmare, and his gut feeling was probably going to be spot on.
Call it a hunch.

Monday Morning
Truth be told, Uriel wanted to grab a few things, and he also wanted to give Rayna a heads-up that he was heading out. This would be his first away trip since they’d begun dating, and he wasn’t sure how she was going to take it.
While they might be back each night, he knew the chances were that they wouldn’t. Elizabeth worked around the clock, and away trips were part of his life.
A big part of him was worried that his job might get in the way of their newly budding relationship, but he had to trust the woman he was sleeping with, right?
For the last two weeks, he’d been staying at her place, and they were building something great.
