ENGLISH BOOK
A jeep with four of McGog's men scour the desert for any trace of the
Faux-Azrael. Their orders were to detain the imposter and bring him
back to the base. The intense heat from the Saudi Arabian
desert had almost drained the imposter's energy. The soldiers catch up
to the imposter and order him to come quietly. The imposter tears
through each of McGog's men and from the distance Jeremiah Thompkins
observes the imposter's fighting skills. Jeremiah believes the
imposter's presence is a sign of his salvation. The imposter blacks out
after exhausting himself and Jeremiah brings the imposter to his
secluded hut. Jeremiah tends to the imposter's injuries and Jeremiah is
astounded by the imposter's remarkable constitution after he had
suffered dehydration. Jeremiah asks about the imposter's Azrael costume
like what it represents. Jeremiah speculates that the imposter is an
agent of good and he has come to the desert to fight evil. Jeremiah asks
the imposter to assist him in punishing the reprehensible buyers who
want to purchase Jeremiah's stolen medical supplies. The imposter nods
that he will help Jeremiah. Jean-Paul Valley calls Leslie Thompkins
and Brian at the clinic. Jean-Paul expresses his regret for not being
able to help the Faux-Azrael because Jean-Paul knows all too well the
trauma that the imposter went through. Leslie inquires if Jean-Paul had
come across her brother Jeremiah
who is also a doctor and a missionary in Saudi Arabia. Jeremiah had
gone to the Middle East last October but she hasn't heard from him
since. Leslie asks Jean-Paul if he would be willing to do some detective
work and find her brother. Jean-Paul tells Leslie that he is honored to
assist her. Jean-Paul then asks Bruce Wayne for any advice on how to get the answers he needs. Jean-Paul heads back to McGog's camp and asks for his assistance
in locating Jeremiah. Jean-Paul asks McGog to exercise his respect for
him since McGog applauded Jean-Paul as a warrior. Jean-Paul figures that
McGog must keep himself constantly well informed on what goes on in his
sector and McGog expresses that he is willing to listen. Jean-Paul asks
McGog if he has heard of a Dr. Jeremiah Thompkins. McGog says that the
name doesn't sound familiar however, he has heard rumors of a doctor who
lives about 90 kilometers south of the camp. The doctor is suspected of
trafficking stolen medical supplies. Jean-Paul is surprised that McGog
has ordered a raid of the doctor's base. McGog proclaims that he isn't a
thief but he did write off the doctor's efforts as the acts of a
bleeding heart. McGog offers a jeep and one of his men to drive Jean-Paul to the
doctor's supposed base. McGog also tells Jean-Paul that some of his men
had another run in with the Faux-Azrael back in the desert. McGog's men
said that someone must have helped the imposter because when the
soldiers came to, they discovered that their jeep had been stolen and
the tire tracks were pointing south. McGog suspects that Jean-Paul's
doctor may have the imposter in his care. Officer Werley drives
Jean-Paul near the the doctor's supposed base but Werley drives over a
land mine. The land mine explodes, the jeep flips and both men fall
unconscious onto the desert sand.
