(Daniel, Cavendish and Father MacIntyre try to think of a way to defend the city from the demons.)

Panel 1

(Daniel is still looking at the map while talking to Cavendish. View from next to Cavendish, Daniel on the right.)

Daniel: Richard? How did you know about the recent attacks? I got your call before even Iain knew.

Cavendish: Just an old contact. I'm sorry but he's out of touch now.

Daniel: That's a bloody shame, we need more information.

Panel 2

(Father Scott MacIntyre leans back deep in thought. He has the notepad in his hand and is checking off a list.)

Scott: Okay, we've handed out warnings to all mystics. We've supplied crosses, holy water, guidelines and a cell network is in place. No one is unaided or alone. So the way I see it, the problem lies with the others.

Panel 3

(Daniel questions Scott. View from behind Daniel looking over at Scott.)

Daniel: The others?

Scott: The majority. They don't have defences or knowledge of what's happening. It's making it worse. We need a more defensive stance.

Panel 4

(Cavendish and Scott look at each other. View from between Cavendish and Daniel.)

Cavendish: How would we get holy water and crosses to everyone?

Scott: I know. We don't have the resources.

Daniel: And they'd think we were a bunch of nutters.

Panel 5

(Father MacIntyre looks at his watch. View from across the table at Scott's end. Daniel's phone gets a text message.)

Daniel: Actually, Scott's got a point. We should start with normal ways of defending a city.

Cavendish: City walls? Militia?

Scott: And there's the police force and the army. Is that the time? Sorry guys, I have to go.

Spx: Beep-Beep!

Panel 6

(Close up of Daniel as he is looking at his phone.)

Daniel: That's Anders. He's at Café Adani. Iain's mind's gone. He's bringing him here.

Hey There!

I was trying to write the blurb. But I've just fed the cats and the little girl (Gir) is prancing around in front of the monitor like it might be her last chance. Her favorite seat in the study seems to be on my graphics tablet so it makes doing the comic kind of tricky now and then. The little boy (Zim) prefers to run around behind me tapping my shoulder and making funny brupping noises. Anyway, she's managed to distract me from anything I planned to say.

This week has been good; I hope everyone is well and happy. We've had a little snow recently and lots of rain. Nope, I really can't remember what I wanted to say.

Oh! Got it! Someone has put together a fansite on facebook for our lovely Bella! I don't think it mentions Dark Red yet. So someone should go along and correct this terrible mistake.

Hope you enjoyed this week's page. And here's the interview with Father MacIntyre as well.

Have a great weekend,

Lynn
