"And all this time, did it still look like Daniel, or did it take
on its real face or shape or whatever?" Pop asked.
Good one. I hadn't even thought about that aspect of the doppelganger
problem.
"Not really sure," Jane said after a few moments when she
and Kurt wore almost matching frowns of concentration. "It was just a
shape. Like a silhouette against all that rippling light that wasn't exactly
black light, but not really any color at all."
"A man shape, yeah," Kurt said. "Maybe it got thicker
than Daniel, and taller, but definitely a man, as opposed to a woman or a
kid."
"I'm sorry," Pop said, "but I have the feeling none of
the books in our library really cover something this or even offer hints. Angela,
we might be camping at your place for the duration."
"I would be disappointed if you didn't pursue this," Angela
said. "Whether this is a new enemy or puzzle, or simply a new face or ploy
by Big Ugly or this Kerri woman … we need answers if we are to properly fight
it. What disturbs me is that the creature seems trapped inside our
borders."
"Nope." Kurt shook his head, giving us a grim little smile.
"If it was still here on our turf, we'd still be tailing it and taking
notes."
