Captain Kronos - Vampire Hunter Page #2

Someone very old.

I think it was a man...

Oh, really,

I ought to be going now.

I'll take you home.

And have my father see you?

He'd skin me alive

and you, too.

Well, look, you can't go alone.

Not with everything that's

been happening around here.

Now, look, there's

the edge of the forest,

and there's my house.

Now, what could possibly happen

in that short a distance?

Ah, well, just the same,

I'll-I'll stay here

and watch

till you're out of the woods.

Silly.

Silly.

See you tomorrow.

Myra?!

Myra...

Myra.

Myra!

Another, and this time,

we have an eyewitness!

I stood and watched her,

and she was never

out of sight.

Never completely out of sight.

But you saw no one else?

No one at all?

No. Oh, Myra thought

she saw someone.

Who did she see?

Just someone very old,

she said.

Very old.

You're mystified?

Mm!

Well, you've a right to be.

Grost ringed the forest

with dead toads.

"If a vampire should bestrode

"close to the grave

of a dead toad,

"then the vampire life

shall give,

and suddenly the toad

shall live."

It's an old folk rhyme,

and like most of them,

there's a grain of truth in it.

"Then the vampire life

shall give,

and suddenly

the toad shall live."

A coach or a wagon

of some kind.

Recent, too.

Four horses.

Grost!

We'll ride

over that way,

take a look.

Look for what,

someone very old?

On the contrary.

This thing attacks to

sustain life, youth.

That's what we'll be seeking.

A cheek with a bloom to it.

Someone young and fair.

Fetch the horses!

Hmm... dead end.

What lies down there?

Oh, the village.

Oh, it's hardly a village.

Just a few houses

and a tavern.

We'll try it.

It'd make better sense

if I stayed

and had a look 'round up here.

Whoa.

Now, there's a funny thing.

What's a funny thing?

That soldier fellow.

The chap who's staying

with Dr. Marcus.

And what about him?

Going around asking

if anybody's seen

ought of a coach or a wagon

'round here

in the past few hours?

Offering a golden guinea

to anybody who can help him.

A golden guinea.

A man could buy himself

a deal of pleasure

with that kind of money,

eh, Molly?

Aye.

Is Kerro here?

- He's around.

- Where?

He's upstairs.

With a doxy.

Here he is now.

Here, girl.

And that's double

what you're worth.

You promised me more.

You promised.

And so I did.

You're not laughing.

Laugh.

Please, Kerro.

Laugh, I'm telling you.

I'll be damned if I will.

Laugh.

Louder.

Louder.

Oh, that's much better.

There's a good boy.

Bye.

Kerro.

When you talk to him,

speak soft.

I'll do better than that.

I'll speak money.

Dr. Marcus...

this is an unexpected pleasure.

Paul.

Good day to you.
