Tess stepped above the teddy she placed on the toilet seat to reach the window. Unlike the time she escaped her Academy she did not have a dumpster to break her landing. But she proved she didn't need one after falling three stories and landing on her feet.
Few park goers saw her escape the window and stopped to stare. She spoke aloud that she was an acrobat, and her camera person was hiding nearby. But their attention seemed directed on her black-filled eyes rather than what she did.
Whatever reason her eyes were not turning normal was proof her luck had run out. She brushed her hair into her face, pulled her hat further down, and fled the area.
Lanse waited outside the female bathroom fifteen minutes past his allotted time. He initiated solo-chat and called Tess through her telecom. With two-way communication on, he only heard when several females entered the bathroom. Worse, he didn't like the look from a guard watching him nearby.
