Delphi and Alton rode back in through the gates of the botanic gardens.
Feifei rushed up to Delphi. "I was getting so worried about you. What happened with Major Pittman? Are you okay?"

Delphi leapt off Miro and gave her friend a hug. "Nothing to worry about Feif, we're both fine. Pittman's dead. It was a long ride out west chasing him down, so we holed up in a farmhouse overnight and rode out this morning."
"Was he hard to kill?"
