[Having recently recovered from his leg injuries, Derek is still 'taking it easy' on himself, if for no other reason than because he's keeping mindful of Adele's...request, to stay out of her medward for a while.
Of course, 'easy' for him means he's set up a daytime hunting scenario; small nest, the members scattered in random places around the desert and under the dilapidated farmhouse in some backwater New Mexico county. With two hours to find them all before the sun goes down.
He's in the process of digging one up when Effy arrives, staking it and beheading it as it all but explodes under the sunlight, sending flames shooting off in every direction. He watches it burn until it's nothing but ash, then inspects the pile to make sure the heart was gone as well.
That one done, he's gone into a crouch; he's working on the farmhouse now, and with the cover of shade, it's only too likely they're aware and waiting. So, like the hunter he is, he's stalking, too intent on the job to pay much attention to anyone who may be watching from above.]
