Alone in the Dark Page #4

Hey, Burke.

Good to see you, too.

You shouldn't be here.

This is my unit now.

You must be very proud.

You used to be able to take care

of yourself there, Carnby.

Got a little soft

since you left 713?

You should take her to the medic

and check that arm.

This way.

I'll catch up.

Why are you still here?

Why am I still here?

I just got my ass chased...

around this goddamn museum

by something I couldn't see.

I want to know

what the hell they are...

what they're doing

in the goddamn city!

I want to know

what 713 knows about it!

You're not 713 anymore, OK?

That information is classified.

That means it's none of

your f***ing business!

We've got this under control.

Thank you.

I don't need your help.

Get him out of here, Marko.

I asked very nicely.

Real tough, huh?

All right!

You're right, Burke.

Maybe I have gotten soft.

You just keep walking.

Come on, Miles.

F***ing prick.

Thank you very much, Burke.

-Hey.

-Hi.

-You OK?

-Yeah, I'm fine.

I need to study

those artifacts.

All right.

I'm gonna go and figure out...

what's going on with John

and the others.

We'll hook up later, OK?

Later.

You shouldn't be here, Carnby.

I'm not.

Commander Burke is.

Your curiosity

have anything to do...

with the fingerprint of yours

I found on this corpse?

Fisch, the list of people

I trust is short.

I'm not making it shorter.

Have you I.D.'d him yet?

We got his dentals.

Agent James Pinkerton.

He's ex-713.

What?

You telling me he was an agent?

When?

Went M.I.A. twenty years ago.

His records are so classified,

they're practically invisible.

Why the hell

was he trying to kill me?

This might have something

to do with it.

Fused to the spinal cord.

There's another piece in here.

It's been severed.

Never seen this kind of

symbiosis before.

This must be why his entire

nervous system was compromised.

Scanner's still

giving a reading.

What?

The Abkani never cease

to amaze me.

Such a complex society at a time

when most of humanity...

was hunting and gathering

and huddling around fires.

Dr. Hudgens,

when did you get back?

A few hours ago.

I heard you had some excitement.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

A little shaken up, but I'm OK.

Look, I must apologize

for snapping at you earlier.

But why are you still here,

after all you've been through?

-Where'd you get that image?

-Edward.

That's a major find.

I'll have to analyze that.

Actually, I'll do that myself.

It's not a request.

Where is the artifact?

-Everything OK in here?

-Who are you?

Miss Cedrac's security detail.

My dear,

have you any idea who I am?

Dr. Lionel Hudgens...

former agent,

Science-spy division...

currently 713 advisor status.
