Sadly, she flees out a high window after ducking out to use the restroom. Later that night, a man is drained of blood by a caped figure who tackles him to the ground. Clenched in his fist is the distinctive “eternal-life” necklace Marlowe wore. Lassiter soon tracks Marlowe down, but she still has her own necklace.
