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?"
"I'm okay thanks Feifei, thanks for worrying about me," Alton called to her facetiously.
Feifei looked at him blankly.
"No sense of humour that girl…" he muttered.
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?"
