Nevermore, part whatever

Artie's Office
Warehouse 13
South Dakota


The Artifact has been snagged and bagged. All that remains is the tagging. Well, the shipping back to the Warehouse and then the tagging, but the point still stands. The job is all but finished, and, amazingly enough, no one died.

"I think, Mr. Poe," Artie murmurs as he enters the pen and notebook into the computerized Artifact database, "that when your things arrive, we'll stick them in... yeah. Madrid section. That is, if Leena agrees."

"Arthur?"

Artie starts, but only a little. He was expecting Mrs. Frederick to still be keeping an eye on him after the lecture he got yesterday. (At least, he will claim he was expecting it.)

"Pete and Myka are in Colorado Springs," says Mrs. Frederick as she walks up to Artie's desk.

Artie sighs and scratches at his jawline. "Yeah, I know, I should've tried to--"

"And so is MacPherson."

As if on cue, an alert pops up in the center of Artie's monitor:

SEARCH RESULTS:
SUBJECT LOCATION IDENTIFIED
Subject:
JAMES MacPHERSON
Current Location:
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO

Artie boggles at the screen. "Wh-what? H-how did--? He was there the whole time??"

"He had us all distracted. I think that was MacPherson's intent."

Artie barely hears her over the sudden rush of realization. It was MacPherson who sent the book to Warren Bering, but it wasn't for revenge or even just as a distraction, he wanted them to find the pen--

Artie all but dives for the Farnsworth. He just hopes his warning won't come too late.

"He glimpsed the mind of one of the greatest authors in the world. He'll thank me later."

"You'll be dead later." She'll be sure of that.

"What do you want?" Okay, Pete's a little more mission focused.

"I want what you risked your lives to get. I'd have done it myself, but I lack the means." MacPherson looks at the two of them expectantly. "You have until the count of one."

"You came after family." Not. Okay.

"Arthur started it," replies MacPherson calmly.

Artie? "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Ask him."

She glances over at her parents. They'll die... He looks at Pete and though it sticks in her throat, she says it. "Pete." For her parents. Her family. She holds out her hand.

Pete looks like he'd rather shove it up MacPherson's ass, but he hands the package with the notebook and pen to Myka.

"Let them go." She doesn't hold out the book. "Do it."

MacPherson nods grimly and slides on a pair of brass-rimmed dark glasses before holding out his hand expectantly. "Thank you."

"Consider it a loan." She will never ever stop pursuing him.

MacPherson grins his death's-head grin as he takes the book and turns the lantern.

His visage behind the lantern's spotlight is the only thing Pete and Myka see before everything goes white.

When they blink again, MacPherson is gone.

"What was that?" Warren sounds slightly dazed.

Unfortunately, that's a question she has the answer to. "Jack the Ripper's lantern."

"At least now we know where that is." Pete doesn't sound at all glad.

Myka looks around and her heart hurts.
