That was true.

Ethan was already profiling this.

“I’ll work as quickly as I can. I’m heading back tonight. I have that meeting with Lance Running Wolf. Dad is going with me. I’ll be back and I’ll have your profile for you then. Just keep sending me information.”

That worked for her.

It was a balancing act, but if she wanted Ethan to follow his dreams, she had to keep the balls in the air.

That was a her problem.

Right now, it was anyone’s guess.

As they pulled up, a rundown building stood in the background, and in front of it were police cars, police tape, and cops.

PLENTY.

Of.

Them.

Not far from it, she could see the two detectives. The woman was standing with her back to them, staring at the building, as her partner was saying something to her.

Not far away, tech vans pulled in next to Elizabeth’s chariot, and everyone started getting out.

They had quite the entourage.

Elizabeth gave security the heads-up.
