Then there was Jane,
Kurt's fiancée, who had been called the Ghost in the last town she lived in.
Her gift let her phase out so she was invisible and could walk through walls
and fly. She had been sent to Neighborlee by Hoax, Inc., the organization that
had raised and trained her in her talents. They specialized in investigating
and debunking paranormal, metaphysical, and simply unexplainable phenomena
around the world. Usually, they covered up those odd events to protect the
people at the core of them. Hoax was now an ally of the guardians of
Neighborlee. Different members of Hoax came regularly to consult with Angela
and meet with another group of allies who had come to town in the last year.
The founders of Hoax were former Lost Kids from Neighborlee. They had spent the
last few decades identifying Lost Kids before their particular talents manifested,
to keep them safe from the Rivals and their willing minions, the Grandstone
family, who wanted to enslave them and use their powers for evil.
A second group of
allies to join the guardians were led by Arthur Sheridan, a Lost Kid who had
built a communications empire. He had sent his grandson, Daniel, to Neighborlee
to re-establish their family's roots and investigate the hints of odd and
mysterious events over the years. Arthur still expressed some chagrin at having
worked for so long in competition with Hoax's leaders and the guardians, to protect
Lost Kids from the Rivals.
Then there were John
Stanzer and Dawn Dover. They came from another dimension, and were looking for other
refugees, whom they called the Hunt. Their interdimensional guardians, the
Hounds of Hamin, manifested as big black dogs with silver eyes.
