He furrows his brow before handing it to Beth Can you read anything?

The message is chimerical, no wonder Tyler missed it. Written in exceptionally well done Japanese calligraphy, it simply says "Sundown, Whisper Alley."

"Sundown, Whisper Alley." She blinks and looks to Tyler. "She is going to be interesting. Isn't she?"
