He nodded.
“Likely. That or he broke into the bone room at the FBI and stole some of my bones, but I doubt that.”
Oh, they hoped not. If he was able to get access to the FBI, they had a million other problems.
“They’ll be here in a few hours,” Tony offered.
Ethan lifts a brow.
“How are they getting here?” he asked.
Tony put down the paper he was using to make notes, and he shared what he could. Honestly, there wasn’t a lot to tell them. Elizabeth hadn’t told him much.
Likely because he had a big mouth.
He did know how the bones were getting there, and they weren’t coming alone.
“They are coming back with Jet.”
Ethan was confused.
“Wait. I thought we were burying Jet in Arlington with the other war heroes? Why is he coming here? Are we keeping him for safekeeping until we can do his funeral?”
For all he knew, his wife was afraid he’d be stolen and destroyed.
That was right up Devon’s alley.
Callen shared.
His plan had been to tell his brother, and that was just one more reason why he’d been trying to hunt him down. He needed backup.
NATIVEbackup.
“Yeah, apparently, Jet didn’t want Arlington, after all. He wants to be with us. His final wish is to be with his family, and I’m working on making that happen.”
Ethan was confused.
“We’re being cremated and put at the burial grounds together. How is he going to be…?”
That’s when he figured it out.
In fact, his eyes got huge.
“Oh.”
Yeah, that’s exactly what Callen had thought when she’d asked him.
“That’s why I’m here. I have to get to the council, and in order to leave, Demeter said I have to tell Ivan, get more travel buddies, and check in with my partners.”
Ivan gasped.
Oh, and he was staring at him.
“You what?” he finally asked when the pounding in his head started to calm down.
From.
His.
