Redhawk Caldera don't stop until your heart goes numb.

She was pleased with his suggestions, though she was quick to elaborate on them. Why choose one method of murder when they could have multiple? "They'll never know what hit 'em," Elwood agreed with a bob of his head. Peregrine and Fox would be beyond dead if Finley actually followed through with her plans -- but luckily, they would (hopefully!) never come to fruition.

The next suggestion was to blame someone else. It was an excellent idea; they had to have a scapegoat to make sure that their packmates didn't try to pin it on the Beta pair. If they pointed their fingers (toes?) at another wolf, it would keep the two of them out of the suspicious spotlight. Finley suggested Ashton, and Elwood pursed his lips thoughtfully.

"I dunno, what would Ashton's motive be? It's gotta be believable," he said, thinking that Ashton was way too laid back to ever carry out such an intricate plan. "But the plateau...I could see that working," he added, surprised at how quickly Finley threw her former pack under the bus.
