"I have the final reports on Zapata County here," Ric Garza said from his seat at the head of the table. They were all there, all the Night Seekers plus Dakota and Chloe, all anxious for news. "They include copies of the statement issued by Sheriff Torres and the articles that appeared in the local paper."
"I'm surprised there hasn't been more national coverage," Sam commented.
"Torres did a good job of keeping a lid on things," Ric told him. "Nobody, especially the people living in Zapata County, wanted national headlines about something most people don't even believe exists. They'd have had every tabloid in the world camped out there."
"So what do Craig's lab guys have to say?" Chelsea asked.
"They're still doing tests." Ric opened the folder in front of him. "He's hired two more specialists from labs in Maryland and Brazil, and an animal geneticist from Texas A&M University. He's pulling out all stops on this."
