Bab 42: Her successors

Tessa eventually found an alley, which she cautiously entered and started to make noises to call attention to the crew members, but nobody showed up. So she kept making noises until two men appeared in front of her, their demeanor cautious before walking up to her.

"Night Owl?!" Finally realizing who she was, both men chorused and closed the gap between them.

"That is right," she replied, winking at them and chuckling.

"But how?" We thought you were dead, so how are you still alive?" Shocked, one of the men inquired, darting his eyes over her body to ensure it was her.
