Aleck and Beth Woad are central characters in Andrew's City of the Watcher trilogy. The events of the trilogy include their capture by Agent Xax's team, but not Beth's subsequent liberation by Rissa Flammarion's crew of space pirates.

That's Rissa Flammarion herself, picking the lock on Beth's handcuffs. She's spent most of her life near the top of the Reality Patrol's Most Wanted list, but they still haven't caught her.
