Alone in the Dark Page #3

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...

any closer to the truth.

Every time I uncovered

a new Abkani artifact...

it immediately got classified.

I realized I'd never get

the answers I was looking for...

with 713 calling the shots.

Why did I agree to this?

Come on, Fisch.

It's a beautiful day.

I ordered your favorite.

It's pecan, right?

You have a good memory, Carnby.

It's all in the details, right?

I tracked down the three

you asked me about.

They all disappeared last night.

Same story-

no suitcase, no car...

just up and walked out

into the night.

So that means

all nineteen are missing.

I did a full

cross-reference, too.

Nothing much in common...

except they all grew up

in the same orphanage...

your orphanage.

What's going on, Carnby?

That's what I'm trying

to figure out here.

Thanks, Fisch.

I'll see you around.

It's good to know I've still

got friends at the 713.

Miss Cedrac,

there's someone here to see you.

-Edward!

-Oh, God, I missed you.

I thought you were dead,

you a**hole.

God.

Just give me five minutes,

all right?

I can explain everything.

In private, Rob.

Oh, I should-

yeah, I'm gonna go.

Give me one reason why I should

ever even speak to you again.

Look at this.

I was in the Amazon

for six weeks...

tracking poachers

across their transport lines.

Then I fell in with a group

of ex-Chilean military...

who were selling artifacts

on the black market.

That was found

on the southern tip of Chile...

in a gold mine.

It's Abkani.

You know,

you could have called...

or even written...

just to let me know

that you were alive.

Do the inscriptions

make any sense to you?

I'm not sure.

The thing is...

they're all from

different locations-

Venezuela,

Newfoundland, Alaska...

and now this one from Chile.

that would have been...

like burying them

at the ends of the earth.

Yeah. But why? If you want

someone to build a puzzle...

why would you hide the pieces

so far apart?

Now what?

Is Rob trying to create a mood

or something?

Give me that.

Hello?

Hello?

Miss Cedrac?

Mr. Carnby?

What the hell's with the lights?

How come every time you show up,

my life gets complicated?

I could ask you the same thing.

What is it?

Nothing. The hair on the back

of my neck just stood up.

Hello?

Did you hear that?

Rob!

Come on! Go! Go!

What the hell was that?

Get down! Come on!

Lock the door!

Get the key in there!

It's our only way

out of here!

Aline!

-You all right?

-Yeah.

Yeah, I'm OK.

I want a full security

sweep of the area.

-Miles.

-Sir?

Call Fischer and tell him

to get his boys down here now.

Let's go!

Move! Move! Move!

Scanners clear?

Scanners clear.

What the hell

are you doing here, Carnby?
