The Victims: Nick, Early, William
Summery: Deciding
that it would be a good idea to avoid confrontation at the importers Nick
and William get out of there. Early leaves a message at the office
which William and Nick get so they head to the hospital to meet him.
Bernard's been hospitalized and will be for at least a week. Paranoid,
they decide to group together and spend the evening at the office rather
than go to their respective homes. During the night an office break
in is attempted, but they're scared off. The next day at the funeral
of Jackson Elias, his publisher turns over all of Elias's notes to the
investigators. They learn many strange and disturbing things from
these notes. The investigators decide they want to contact Erica
Carlyle, and Early manages to set up an appointment with her for the next
day.
Plot threads: What
did happen to the Carlyle Expedition? What did Elias find in Shanghai
and London? What about the doctor's information Elias mentions in
his own notes? What is the connect to the Penhew Foundation?
What books are in the Carlyle's safe? What is the cult up to?
Most Valuable Character: Early
for making a miraculous roll and convincing Erica Carlyle that he'd be
worth speaking to

sleeping at the office on the night I planned to have it ransacked
