Coney, Island of Sec. Part 3 Pulling out her BlackBerry, Risa quickly took a picture of the half-turned six-armed architect. "Cauldwell is a freak, too? Then this changes everything! I've got to tell-ummph! Mmph!" Risa muffle-screamed, a strange shape covering her mouth, keeping it shut, the cold wetness of a slimy arm trapping her slender body in a vice-grip, dropping the phone on the ground in the process. "So, we got ourselves a little tattle-tale, huh? Well, we can't have you messin' up da boss' plans, can we, cutie?"----------------------------"God lord, its been a good three hours and the kid still ain't contacted back," muttered Dan, slouching on the couch in
Coney, Island of Sec. Part 2 Arriving just as the sun finally left its duty for the day in a pinkish haze, the litter of tents and ruined buildings looked more like deformed shadows then edifices, the alleys separating the ruins looking more like paths into voids of nothing, while the rusting remains of legendary rides such as 'Thunderbolt' lay like rotting corpses stripped of flesh by vultures on a battlefield. "It was 'round here, Mr Clancy. This is where they began disappearin' " Jack said, kneeling down on the antique timber of the pathway and pointing his finger firmly in the center. Nodding in understanding, Dan then knelt down himself, placed the valise on the gro

"Aw, relax, babe!" came the smug voice from below, "Hayworth ain't gonna be down here for some time!""But the rest of the class has already gone on! Oh please Jack, let's go already!" the girl stamped; she was an elegant black cat attired very simply in a burgundy hoodie and torn up jeans, he
The Dis. Judge Death Part 3 Simultaneously with this discovery, two more events occurred; First, blue lights blared and flew down the road, stopping abruptly in front of the house. Out got Cullock, his trench coat and tie whirling. Stamping up to the house with a distinct hurry in stride, his eyes shot open and he ran towards Risa. "You alright?" he asked, his hands on the girl's shoulder. "Yeah, but they got Giva." she replied with a tone of defeat."I don't believe this! Two idiots come back to the police station, saying they've been relieved, when he we didn't send any damn replacements!" he yelled, his face red with fury at his underling's stupidity. At the same ti
The Dis. Judge Death Part 2 Late afternoon broke over London, the glow of sunset giving the giant cosmopolis a heavenly, almost paranormal, aura. And under the rays of retiring sun, sat in a humble café near the mighty Thames, sat Dan and Risa. "Any luck?" asked Risa, finishing her frappe. "Damn it! I just can't figure out where I heard Andrews, Richards and Netherland all together before!" he yelled, bringing some mutterings from fellow customers. "Are you sure? Maybe you just misheard something?" Risa replied, wondering if perhaps Dan had maybe got it wrong, "No, I'm sure of it. I just need to figure out where!" "Well, I'm off down to the archives, see if I can

Mountains of Fear Part 3 Mountains of FearPart ThreeGroaning, Dan's eyes slowly fluttered open, the pain of the giant claw's whack still ringing throughout his cranium like a school bell. Trying to straighten up, he found his ankles and wrists bound tighter then bouquets with some sort of hairy cord, not doubt a former part of the incredible coats worn by the 'creatures'. Gaining his first proper look at the surrounding area, he found that he was still in what looked like the caverns, but these were somewhat different; they were loads of little caves in the stone walls that formed entrances to the underground equivalent of homes. In front of each opening were was

Only this time, upon arriving near the outskirts, they found it…Silent.His trained ears scanning all around, Dan gripped his recovered Uzi tightly and slowly advanced into the cobble of straw and skin huts that formed the village. Then, he picked up something; sobbing. And coming from the southern corner of the area. Stepping ever so carefully so as to not disturb his hearing, the sound grew and grew, eventually becoming several sobs, then several moans and cries of anguish and sorrow. Trailing the erratic wai

The Black Bells Part 3 The Black BellsPart ThreePausing to rest his paining gut, Dan immediately began scouting along the tire tracks, following with eyes trained by years of unrelenting and punishing service. The tracks eventually lead him to the River Gwead, a long, snaking stream glistening under the moonlight. He quickly deduced that the villains had taken a boat, though which direction, he would have to consult a map.Laying down on a nearby rock, resting his ceaseless ache, his thoughts turned to Risa. In all the years of service, in all his missions, he met more dames in one month then any playboy would in their whole life. But he had never been enamour

Sisters and brothers, go in peace to serve the lord." "Amen." the crowd replied, and like ants to cake, they began scuttling out of the old stone building they called their church, red, greens and blues shining down on them through the stained glass windows.Once the rabble had dispersed, Dan took off his hat and slowly entered inside. Strolling along the aisle, he passed the snow-white altar and through a small wooden door t
