As in lie their asses off.

“If we put his urn with ours when we get put into the ground, we might be okay, or if we put him with Catherine. Ethan’s mom might have to have some company by way of a Marine.”

Elizabeth wasn’t shocked. Knowing what Ethan had told her about Catherine, there was no way she’d mind having a little company, even if it was just sharing her headstone. They could get something made to work.

“Thank you, CJ.”

He sighed.

“I loved the guy. Don’t thank me. I’ll make it happen, even if I have to have Dad make a totem pole, and we put himINSIDEit, and put it right on the burial space we have.”

She knew he’d do it, so once more, she shared her appreciation.

“Thank you, CJ.”

Again, there was no need to thank him a second time. Especially since he didn’t make it happen yet. That would be the time to thank him—or buy him a new kidney when he gave the old Native his to bribe him.

“Come home, and we’ll call it even,” he said. “I love you, Angel.”

She loved him, too.

Endlessly.

Before he let her go, Callen needed to say one more thing to his wife.

“Don’t let him fuck with your head. Just beat him and laugh while doing it for hurting our goddamn family.”

Well, that was the plan.

While he was playing with her, she was getting ready to fight dirty on this one. She just needed to find him, and pin him down. Now that Gabe gave her permission, and sanctioned it, she was going to get it done.

“Kiss everyone for me. I’ll see you when I can.”

He hoped so.

“Be safe.”

When she hung up, Kate went there.

“They want to move you back to the White House. Jet is handled for now. Gabe is having him moved now that he’s cleared for burial. He’ll be held at the FBI in the morgue until you’re ready to have him moved. Your two MEs are riding with him to make sure he makes his destination.”

Holy shit!

They worked fast.

For that, Elizabeth was grateful.

The last thing she wanted was for that piece of shit to get Jet’s remains and defile them.

That wasn’t happening.

Not on her watch.

Glancing over, she focused on Dex.

“Be safe tomorrow, and call me when you find something,” she stated.

He only said one thing.
