He shook his head.

It was time to give up.

“It looks like Ravensmire is going to be a busy, busy place,” he admitted.

Again, they would be going home at some point, so why not let Elizabeth have her fun?

“When do we get them?” she asked.

He shared.

“Next week. I’m glad you’re going to still be here. Maybe you can join me to go get them. They have sheep, chickens, and ducks on that farm too,” he said, not mentioning that he was getting them from Finn’s mother.

Just the other day, Finn had told him that anyone adopting those beasts was out of their damn minds.

Oh, someone was going to be spicy when he found out he was one of the ‘someones’.

From where she was, Elizabeth began laughing maniacally.

“Oh, I am really going to have fun on this vacation,” she admitted.

Ethan was glad she was viewing it as that. Already, she was healing. In time, she’d be as good as new.

Then, he had to decide what to do about being Shaman. It was the FBI or be shaman.

He couldn’t be both.

According to the reservation chief.

“I’m glad you’re staying a while,” Michael stated. “I missed seeing that face.”

Yeah, she missed his, too.

Even Gabby was glad.

“I get to have some girl time. We can get mani-pedis, and go shopping. I need a bigger house…”

Yes, yes, they could, and she did.

“I’m going to have to work,” she said, “but I can do my job as Deputy Director from anywhere.”

Ethan chimed in.

“Same. I can profile from anywhere. We have an office. We’re good at multitasking via video call. It’s going to be fun the next few weeks. I’m looking forward to it.”

Then, it appeared to be settled.

When the gate button alerted them, Michael picked up his phone.

No one should be at their gate.

They weren’t expecting anyone.

“Is it Finn?” Gabby asked, knowing he had left a little while ago to head to work.

He shook his head as he was checking out the video on his phone that relayed from the gate. Oh, and he was seeing someone he did NOT expect to see.

“No, it’s Sarah,” he said.
