Luke steps out of the shadows to save Ted Sadin, and Aran Krall, believing Luke to be Sphynx, orders his gang to attack. Luke handily defeats them and restrains them with zip ties, then takes Aran around a corner to "convince" him to answer questions. Aran reveals he's been attempting to get vengeance on Sphynx at the behest of an anonymous backer with extensive resources going by Oedipus. Aran is arrested, then Luke and the main character give Ted a pep talk and get permission to search his home for leads.
