Chapter Five

Abigail paced the lab. She was waiting on the spectrometer to finish. It still had close to fifteen minutes.

Her mind wandered back to Bones.

He’d found out about Carlos.

Her father. She didn’t even deem him worthy enough to call him Dad. He’d abandoned her and her mother when she was little. Running off to Spain with his mistress.

It had devastated her mother—she’d only lived another three years. Her depression had sapped her health.

Abigail had gone to live with her uncle. A man of science who had shown her the ways of pathology. She'd loved it and hadn’t looked back.

Bones had seemed so concerned about her involvement with Carlos. When she told him she hadn’t seen him since she was little, he had relaxed. At least he knew she didn’t have any ties with him, other than her DNA.

The spectrometer beeped at her, and she blinked, crossing to it as it started to print out the reading. She bounced on her heels, waiting for the ink to finish its job. As it spat out the sheet, she grabbed it, turning.

“Chemical compounds…huh?” She blinked, lifting her gaze to the microscope. She crossed to it, bringing the slides of blood to the screen and she looked down the lens at it again. “Toxins?”

Staring at the blood, she could see how thin it was, how the cells were almost breaking. Lifting her head, she looked at the sheet of paper again. Turning to her laptop, she typed in the chemical compounds which seemed the highest on the scale.

“Dispholidus typus?” Bringing up another page, she typed in the name, frowning at the result. “You have to be kidding me.”

Printing the page, she grabbed both, running through the clinic and out into the sun. She had to find Bones.

“We don’t have two days, Braedon. You know that.” Wolf was right, as Bones had thought to himself earlier. The militia would be back and with double the force in less than half of that time. “This is a suicide mission. We have one vehicle. The other Humvee is pretty much totaled.”

Bones looked over to the vehicle. It was back on its wheels now, the roof caved in. Reaper’s legs poked out from the engine bay as he tried to fix the vehicle. Queenie beside him, handing him the tools he needed.

Wolf grabbed his arm, making him look at him. “Are you listening to me?”

“No.”

The Montana native rolled his eyes, throwing his hands up in the air. “I give up.”

Bones pursed his lips. “We received a lot of money to get this sorted. Want to lose that? How much of the $150,000 are you going to put back into the reservation? How many solar panels will that buy?”

Wolf shot him a withering look, and he knew he’d hit a nerve. Without Wolf’s contributions, the reservation would be struggling. He kept things easy. Installing solar panels on all the buildings. Sourcing a sustainable way of living for his people.

“I’d think very carefully about your next words, Braedon,” Wolf spat, an animalistic growl coming from his lips.
