"Now I remember why I stopped playing track." Isabelle muses swatting flies away from her face. "I despise being out in nature."

"Along with it being a physical activity." Nick says teasingly, but Isabelle just rolls her eyes as they meet up with Bryan.

"Now, this is a good place to run. It's cool up here, the air is clean, not too many people around — so you can clear your head." Bryan informs them.

"And what's your usual route?" Nick inquires.

"You're looking at it." Bryan responds stepping on the trail pathway. "I usually do about ten miles, a couple hours worth, up and around Trapper's Peak. Why? You coming?"

"Oh, no. That's okay. I already got my morning workout in at dawn." Isabelle smiles.

"Alright." Bryan nods, plugging in his earbuds before jogging off.

"So how long do you think it would take us to do ten miles?" Nick questions.

"Depends on how fast we drive." Hank remarks.

"And how long we stop for coffee and pastries." Isabelle adds laughing.

"The murder site is only six miles from here." Nick comments.

"And that's significant why?" Hank asks.

"Well, he could have come from here to commit the murders." Nick suggests.

"That's horse manure." Hank blurts.

"Hey, it's as good a theory as we have." Nick argues.

"No, ding dong." Isabelle shakes her head before grabbing his shoulders and physically turning him around. "See — horse shit."

"More horses." Nick realizes as Hank's phone begins to ring. "Well, it's not exactly evidence I want to present in court."

"Don't look at me. I'm not touching it either." Isabelle retorts.

"Griffin." Hank answers putting his phone up to his ear. "Yeah. The address? Yeah, I know where it is. Thanks."

"What is it?" Isabelle inquires as he hangs up.

"Patrol found Dimitri's car near an abandoned warehouse in Linnton. They're sitting in it until we get there." Hank tells them before turning around and heading back to the car.
