Entry 15 - the final showdown on Grey Dragon Island

Image
14 March : Enough time training; it’s time to get underway aboard the Japanese cruiser Kitakami , barely 4 years old. Fast enough to sail the 300 mile trip in almost 6 hours. Brady brings 40 recruits of his new China army under the pretense we are sailing to combat Russian insurgents. We approach Grey Dragon Island from the north observing empty beaches with the steaming volcano to the southwest. We circle the island westward looking for the Dark Mistress , found docked along a short pier on the south side. No movement; where is everyone? As we reconnoiter, it is James who queries, “You’ve got enough guns on this boat; just shell the damn island.” It’s Captain Isague who reminds all, “We have no idea what they are building nor where. We need YOU to get eyes on their construction.” With the recruits standing nearby, Norman remarks for their benefit, “Yeah, we gotta find out what those commie bastards are doing.” So the plan is set: we take a small land...

Entry 8 - Cairo: Arab attack at the mosque, a Dutchman with stolen scrolls, and trip to the Sphinx

Sunday Feb 8 th - morning began as a comical treat as Jame’s fake moustache kept falling into his breakfast plate. Confusing discussion of where to next, till we settled upon returning to Faraz’s shop hoping a cash bribe would settle his worrisome soul. Other patrons stroll his shop as Guin and Norman gather a few items to purchase. Once the patrons thin, they approach the counter to barter hoping to relax the merchant. Finally an extra bag of British pounds to sweeten the deal, “We were hoping you could tell us about those items you acquired for Mr. Carlyle all those years ago.” At least Faraz wasn’t skittish as the last time, “No, no. Not here. We can discuss more away from here. Noontime at the bazaar; the El Husen mosque.” Near the appointed time, Guin and Norman approach the mosque as the others try to be inconspicuous on watch; Yoseph searching for a back door.

Entry 4 - NY2England: Erica Carlylye, sail to England, a deranged painter, demise of Mic, expose on Carlyle group, monster encounter

Image
Boat tickets purchased, we have a few days left in NY; so, Eddie seeks Amanda Teller as a social contact to Ms. Carlyle, "Yes, I know Erica. May I ask why you inquire?" It's arranged for tomorrow, the 21st. Meanwhile the morning papers announce another NY cult killing which sends Rene off to the police seeking details...random...black/white/poor. Yoseph guesses, "They're gathering more bodies for zombies. Obviously, the 'Bad Ju-Ju' shop isn't the only cult center."   21 st - It's a 30 minute drive to the gated mansion...armed guards leading attack dogs as they patrol the perimeter (we later learn, upon Erica's return from her failed search for her brother, the house had been attacked by bands of colored; thus, all the protection). With our weapons locked up, we're escorted to the house and waiting room. Soon a beautiful 20ish woman arrives with a 'giant of a man' bodyguard at her side.  Erica Carlyle Joe...
