Ethan’s cheek twitched.
“Don’t be a fucking coward, Ethan. Don’t give up on your wife. Life doesn’t give you many second chances. I know that personally, after Livy was taken and killed. Don’t have regrets.Even if you don’t have faith, pretend you do for the person you love because their faith in themselves isALWAYStied to your faith in them.”
He was aware.
It had been a low moment.
Apparently, he had many of them.
“Fight and fight hard. She’s out here doing just that. Now, she’s rattled because he got a shot in and took out one of the Marines. What’s his end game?” Gabe asked.
Ethan pointed.
“Us. He’s going to want one of us, so she gives herself over to him in exchange for us. We are analyzing his handiwork right now, and it’s all personal. A uterus in the jar, a rosary with a broken-off Christ. He’s giving her a timeline. It looks like his resurrection in three days. This all points to Chris being his target, so we’re making sure he’s not alone for anything.”
Gene knew what they needed to do. He was going to stop thinking like a Fed and begin thinking like a Hunter.
“We can find him, if we break the rules. He’s assuming we will play by the law. He believes her hands are tied by Lady Justice, and that might be our one ace in the hole.”
Gabe listened.
“What are you thinking, Gene?” he asked.
He went there.
“We know he has money, and we know he has a bank account. What if we find him that way?” he asked. “We can ask Gabby to hack in and find a location. He’s likely hoping that we’re so hyper-fixated on the chase that we’re not being sneaky and proactive.”
Gabe shared.
“She’s agreed to letThe Huntershelp. In fact, she’s waiting for them to clear their current job, to jump in. I have authorized any means necessary to stop Devon Slater. They arethe endgame. While they are handling Von Donore, get her something. Be proactive, Gene. When she gets there, he will be ready to set her up to play this game.”
He was aware.
“I’ll call Gabby,” he said, pulling out his phone. “We’ll find him.”
Gabe was not questioning it.
“Keep it off the record,” he said. “If you can find a way to hunt him,HUNThim. Keep your eyes open for Russian spies too. There’s one left here, and if he’s feeding them intel, be ready to have someone take shots at you.”
That wasn’t happening.
Chris was to the point.
“My spouses will be staying inside. TheLASTthing Elizabeth needs is one of us getting taken.”
Gabe saw Chris was working on a body.
“What did you find?”
He was honest.
“Nothing that wasn’t planted. The bodies are pretty cut-and-dry. The nun’s body was decimated, as all of her reproductive organs were removed. She’s also missing her appendix. We received her medical records, and she never had it taken out.”
Gabe got it.
“So, Elizabeth is the nun?” he asked.
Ethan nodded.
