Black Moon Page #5

Every shadow!

There's music you've never heard!

For the first time in years...

I'm at peace.

Pardon me. Where's Dr. Perez?

- He went out that door a moment ago.

- I've got to find him!

- What's the trouble?

- I found Anna.

- Something horrible has happened!

- What?

We've got to find Dr. Perez!

Look!

Anna!

- How could it happen? - She may have

been walking and fallen in. But...

But what?

A dozen whites have been found in

this lava pit.

They all had interfered

with the natives.

Where's Anna, Mother?

She's gone, darling.

Ruva's your nurse now.

Get in bed.

But I want Anna!

Why can't you be my nurse?

Until Anna comes back.

Where's she go?

- On a long trip.

- To New York?

Longer than that, darling.

I don't like her!

Why can't you be my nurse?

I'd like to sweetheart, but...

I'm afraid I might not be much good!

You see...

I'm just a secretary.

What's that?

Someone who takes care of things,

writes letters...answers the phone.

You're sort of a nurse.

Yes, sort of.

- Is the schooner set to leave?

- Yes, sir.

I ain't been on her this morning...

but when I put her to bed, she was

in perfect health!

Mr. Lane and his family are sailing

in an hour.

All of them?

Yes. Go take Miss Hamilton's place

and tell her I want to see her.

- And keep your eye on the child.

- Yes, sir.

- 'Course, I ain't no nursemaid.

- We'll make an exception this time.

- I'll tell my wife we're leaving.

- Good!

Voodoo.

More black magic...

- Gail...

- Yes?

May I see you a moment?

- What's happened?

- Can you be ready to leave in an hour?

I was ready to leave the minute

I got here!

I'd have gone crazy in another week.

If you hadn't come...

Still thinking about quiting when you

get back to New York?

- I'm afraid so.

- You can't be serious.

Who will balance Mrs. Lane's

checkbook?

Doesn't my broken heart mean

anything to you?

Those things always blow over.

Yes, and checkbooks always

get balanced.

Look!

The schooner!

- Is there no other boat?

- No. That's the only one.

Looks bad, doesn't it?

Where can she be?

Someone will probably find her.

Mrs. Lane is not in the house.

I've looked everywhere!

That's funny. I don't understand it.

She probably went out for a walk.

- Alone? This time of night?

- She was brought up on this island.

- Mind if I look?

- Not at all.

Nancy's alone. I'll sit with her

if you wish.

Thank you.

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll find her.

Yes, but I just don't understand it.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Wait a moment. You'll be lost in 5

minutes if you go out there.

- She'll be back.

- The natives!

Oh, they're off in the hills.

Look here. There's something more.
