It was time to find herself again.
How long would it take?
She wasn’t sure.
But one way or another, Elizabeth knew the truth.
She was in there.
It was just a matter of time, and some soul searching, and it began…
NOW.
Epilogue
Morning
FBI West
A New Day
The End of the Beginning
The sun was up, and as they pulled up to the FBI building, it was good to have the world be clear of that disgusting piece of shit, Devon Slater. He was gone from the earth, and he would never ruin anyone’s life again.
Trust and believe that.
Getting out of the rental, Gene gave each ofThe Huntersa hug. He appreciated all they did for them, and that would never be forgotten.
Ever.
“If you ever need me,” Gene offered, “You guys just call me. I’ll show my ass up so fast, Zayn’s head will spin faster than when he smells a baked good.”
The man laughed.
“You really are a dick,” he stated.
Well, yeah, he was aware.
That was one of his finer points.
“You think?” he asked. “You’re a smart Chucklefuck, now aren’t you? Did you figure that all by yourself?”
Zayn gave him a fist bump.
“I’ll miss you, Gene. See you when we see you.”
Yeah, he would.
Maura hugged him last.
“Is she going to be okay?” she asked, knowing that what went down was a heavy, and it would take a strong person to survive that.
Oh, Elizabeth was strong, but still.
It had been a lot.
“I have faith,” he admitted. “She’ll work through it.”
