Chapter 8
Keika, accompanied by Hakdari and Marshal Koryo, went to the forensic science lab. Taura greeted them outside, and then saw the question in Hakdari's eyes.
"I have bad news." said Taura. "Your friend Tiyan… she didn't make it."
A new voice joined the conversation: "Surprise!"
Hakdari spun around. "Tiyan!" She hugged her friend, tears streaming down her face. The other three couldn't believe it.
"How…?" Keika was rubbing her eyes, thinking this was a wacky dream. But it wasn't a wacky dream. Tiyan was right there.
"Nuhrii got the Career School students to put me back together! Since they worked together, it didn't take long."
"Wait a minute… Tiyan, what's that slimy stuff on your foot armor?" asked Taura.
"Oh, this?" Tiyan grinned. "We made potirons flambés to celebrate!"
Taura didn't know French. "What does that mean?"
Keika face-palmed. "It means - they set pumpkins on fire. Again."
