SECURING PASSAGE

As Rachael Zipporah's eyes adjusted to the darkness. She was able to make out the features of the man seated at the table alone. He had long black hair tied back in a ponytail, and a square face with a lighter skin tone as seen in the dim light. It was too dark to tell the color of his eyes. Most likely they were brown.
