The Phantom Page #4

- What do you know about Drax?.

He's come across a rare artefact

connected to the Sengh Brotherhood.

It's an old silver skull

with precious stones for the eyes.

- I've seen something like that before.

- You have?

Yes, but it wasn't silver,

I think it was green.

Green... Jade, perhaps.

I mean, where did you see it?

Let me see.

It was my twelfth birthday party.

Mum and Dad had rented a big room.

Now I remember.

The Museum of World History.

- Yes, sir. At your service.

- You're in a good mood.

You bet. While you were inside,

I had those stones appraised.

- You can call me Al.

- Kit Walker.

- I'm going with you.

- Diana...

- Where to now, sir?.

- The Museum of World History.

You heard the lady.

You look great, Diana.

You've not changed a blt.

You just vanished, Kit.

I guess I did.

Not a word, not a letter.

Not even a phone call.

- I know.

- Why?.

I had to go home.

- My father died rather suddenly.

- I'm sorry.

I never heard from you again.

I had to take over the family business.

It's hard to explain, but I've thought

a lot about you since then, Diana.

I've thought about you too, Kit.

Then I stopped and went on with my life.

It's all wrong. It's the wrong century,

the wrong hemisphere.

It's the wrong culture. The skull hasn't

been lost, just misplaced.

What's your interest

with Drax and these skulls?

I represent their true owners.

I want to see them returned.

Drax wants them for himself. I can't let

Drax get his hands on this skull.

I've got to get it out of here.

Uncle Dave knows an important

member on the board of directors.

It may take a day or two, but...

Or we could just break the glass.

I'll take that, thank you.

Museum security.

Everything's under control.

Free cake and sandwiches

are served in the Hall of Nature.

Bring the little ones.

Don't miss out. Thank you.

Bye-bye.

- Who are you?

- A collector like yourself, Mr Drax.

Drax, what's with the bag?

Something's happening!

This is it!

It's happening right here and now!

Unbelievable!

It's beautiful! It's magnificent!

Show me the power!

Show me the power!

Yes!

Amazing!

Amazing!

I love this!

Wow!

The skulls have spoken.

All right, what's your name?

Why do you want that skull so badly?.

Kit Walker.

- And who is Kit Walker?.

- I am.

- And the skull?

- It'd go well with my drapes.

Cute. You're very cute, Mr Walker.

Fortunately, I have a cure for that.

Stop it! Don't hurt him!

Diana, are you sweet on Mr Walker?.

I thought that your true love

was swinging around in the jungle.

How did you...?

I mean, who told you that?

I did!

Sala's got all the latest gossip

on two continents.

Deny it. He's in love with you,

and you're nuts about him.

From the moment he came flying down

that laundry chute, you were hooked.

"Kismet in the jungle. "

You're despicable.

You're just jealous.

- Now I'm one up on you.

- Ladies...

Quill, show Mr Walker up to

the observation deck and make him talk.

I claim the body, when you're done.

Now...

Once I check these coordinates

we'll know the location of the third skull.

Get up. Follow me.

- Well, I'll be damned.

- What?

The Devil's Vortex.

We are going to the Devil's Vortex.

Are you sure? Check again,

maybe you've made a mistake.

No, no mistake.

Isn't that the place

where ships disappear?.

Yes! Incredible, isn't it?

There must be an island there.

An uncharted island.

Maybe my brother was right

about all that stuff.

Nonsense! Come on, Charlie.

This is the chance of a lifetime.

Where's your spirit of adventure?

Mr Drax, I've made all the arrangements.

You're getting a full police escort.

Excellent. Have you heard the news?

We're going to the Devil's Vortex.

The Phantom's in the building.

I saw him with my own eyes.

Tell your officers there's a madman here.

He's armed and dangerous.

- Shoot on sight.

- Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

- And the girl?

- Bring her.

She's our Phantom insurance.

Get me Security.

We're all ready here, sir.

Pardon me.

Look out!

- Follow that car.

- Take my money, but don't hurt me.

I'm a friend of Kit Walker's.

I need your help.

Hey! Hey, you! Come back here!

Hey!

- What's back there?

- The zoo.

This is where

he would have entered.

He sure as hell isn't around here.

Let's keep looking.

Good girl.

Stop! Hold it right there!

Get in!

Forget him, he's not coming.

He's probably dead by now.

What is wrong with you?

Why are you so mean?

Don't you care about anything?

- Like what?

- You figure it out.

All right, everybody just shut up!

Step on it, Quill.

Drax is heading for the docks.

I picked it up on my police band.

- I thought you'd want to know.

- Thanks. Step on it, huh?

It's the bottom of the ninth

and you're two skulls behind.

Dad, a man named Quill

has a gun belt like mine. Is it yours?

Yes.

He said he could show me

the Sengh Brotherhood stronghold.

He took me to a place

deep in the jungle.

- What happened?

- He stabbed me in the back. Literally.

So sue me.

I'm a lousy judge of character.

- Maybe I can get the gun belt back.

- If you haven't lost him.

Don't worry, I'll catch him. I have to.

- There's a woman involved.

- Saints be praised! It's about time.

- Tell him to step on it.

- Can you go any faster?.

- Are you talking to me now?.

- Yes. Can you pick it up?

Sure. Hold on to your hat.

Or whatever.

Looks like I've got a plane to catch.

Thanks.

Hey, pal! Give my best to Mr Walker.

I love New York.

We're getting close. We're almost there.

- What's that?

- Where?

That's it.

There is an island!

Take her down.

We're so close now. I can feel it.

History is about to be made,

and you're all a part of it.

An unequal part, of course,

but an important part, nonetheless.

- This one is mine.

- In your dreams.

- Take it easy! My brothers, stay calm.

- Why do you call us brothers?

We, too, are members of the Sengh

Brotherhood.

Nice going.

Come with us.

I think us girls should stick together.

Now let me see...

When was the last time

we had visitors here below the ocean,

deep in the bowels

of this uncharted volcanic island?

Never! Congratulations!

You pathetic doomed fools are the first.

- Who are these people?

- My name is Xander Drax.

- What?

- X-A-N-D-E-R D-R-A-X.

Xander Drax.

Begins and ends with the letter "x".

From New York City.

And you, sir?. As long as we're making

polite introductions and chit-chat.

- Who might you be?

- He is the Great Kabai Sengh.

Leader of the Sengh Brotherhood.

Direct descendant of

the Evil Kabai Sengh...

.. first leader of the Sengh Brotherhood.

You're a long way from New York City.

What brings you to this place?

These brought me here.

The Skulls of Touganda.

And what do you know

of such matters?

I know all about these skulls

and the power they contain.

Once all three are united...

The two I hold...

.. and the one you have there.

Look, O Great One.

I really wasn't in the market

for a partner,
