People are gonna blame the Tail.

I have to make this right.

You prove it wasn't the Tail.

I'll keep a lid on things while you do.

Across the border.

I couldn't hear much, but it looked like he was offering her a choice.

- She chose to stay.

- That's what it looked like.

But I cannot know her motives.

- It was a risk sending Audrey over there.

- Well, she was there on a mission for you, wasn't she?

Did she complete it?

- No.

We still don't have access to their comms.

- So maybe she just stayed behind to finish the job.

- Well, either way, she's Miss Audrey, Doyenne of the Nightcar.
