Alone in the Dark Page #2

Synopsis: Edward Carnby, detective of the paranormal, unexplained and supernatural, investigates a mystery (the recent death of a friend) with clues leading to "Shadow Island" that brings him face to face with bizarre horrors that prove both psychologically disturbing and lethal, as he discovers that evil demons worshiped by an ancient culture called the Abskani are planning on coming back to life in the 21st century to once again take over the world... and only he and a young genius anthropologist with an incredible memory (and his ex-girlfriend), Aline Cedrac, stand in their way, at a gateway to hell. Standing in Carnby's way, however, is the impact that a brief encounter with an evil spirit called the Queen had upon his mind, as he slowly finds himself overpowered by the forces of darkness as they eat away at his very sanity...

There's no malfunction, sir.

These are accurate readings.

Jesus Christ.

Hello?

Did a shipment

arrive for me today?

Oh, it's a fascinating piece,

Dr. Hudgens.

I started decoding

the pictograms and-

Who told you to do that?

That crate was not to be opened.

Yeah, but I was only

just gonna catalog it for you.

It's not your place to question

my instructions, miss Cedrac.

Leave the tablet alone.

I'll catalog it myself

when I get back.

But, Dr. Hudgens, I-

Sir, I found them.

Sister Clara,

something's happened.

The others are back.

Yeah.

Edward. Thank God.

Hey, Linda. What's wrong?

It's John.

I woke up, and he's just gone.

All of his clothes are here.

His car's in the garage.

It's like he just got up...

in the middle of the night

and walked out.

I'll be right over.

According to Abkani legend,

when they opened the gate...

between our world

and the world of darkness...

a few people survived

by joining forces...

with the creatures

from the other side.

They gained supernatural power

but lost their humanity.

That would explain the man who

tried to kill me this morning.

I have this bad feeling...

that's what's happened

to John and the others.

Edward, you've known each other

since you were kids.

Did he tell you

he was leaving me?

Of course not.

Then where is he, Edward?

What's going on?

I'll figure this out.

I'll find John. Don't worry.

OK.

Fischer here.

-Hey, Fisch. It's Carnby.

-Edward.

I know it's been a while.

You gotta do me a favor.

I haven't heard from you

since you left 713. What's up?

A friend of mine

who grew up in my orphanage...

disappeared last night.

His name's John Dillon.

Can you try to dig up

some information?

They'll kill me if they

find out, but let me check.

All right. I have to take a trip

down memory lane.

I'll meet you at 3:00

at our old hangout. OK?

-Please take care, Edward.

-I'll see you then.

One, two, three.

Bluebells, cockle shells...

eevie, ivy, over.

I like coffee, I like...

Welcome home, Edward.

Should I make some tea?

Yes. Thank you, Sophie.

Let me look at you.

You've been getting

enough sleep?

Sister, John disappeared

last night, and...

something happened

to me as well.

It's happening again.

I need your help.

I want to find the others.

I'll get their files.

Come on.

It's good to see you, Edward.

You should visit more often.

Yeah, that is very strange, huh?

He just disappeared?

I understand

you must be very concerned.

I'II let you know

as soon as I hear something.

OK, thank you.

I was recruited into Bureau 713

when I was 20.

I learned everything I could

about the paranormal.

I was a good agent...

but it didn't get me
