Dear Amanda:

I'm sorry... I don't tell you that enough. I shouldn't have said what I said.
But - you shouldn't have hung up on me. I was trying to tell you something
about us... about our daughter. I know you won't believe me, I know you'll
think it's impossible. IF SHE CAN BE FOUND, I
WILL FIND HER.

I forgive you for everything. For walking out, for filing divorce. For
sending me to that goddamn asylum "for my own good". I still love you,
Amanda, I can't help it

But I can't do this alone, anymore, Amanda. I can't save her by myself.

I need y-

Notes on Oakes Group

Just returned from mtg. the Oakes Grp. A
"rousing" experience. Sweating the whole time that
the thuggish "ushers" would figure out what was in
my heavy bag  my reel-to-reel rec.! Little new
info... they are completely blinkered by (faulty!)
Russian theory.

Constantly amazes me how people can see the
EVIDENCE but not the truth. They ignore official
stories  recognize "the Vanishing"  see the "Red
Lights" in the water. But they don't look deeply
enough. Instead they see the reflections of their
own obsessions. Most who notice these details are
cranks (like Lynch) or gullible fools (like Phil.)
If someone wants to keep the secrets  all they
have to do is encourage a few "misinterpretations."
Sprinkle a few false leads into the mix...

Stewing on all this as I headed home... Then
things took a turn for the weird. Sensed a shadowy
figure behind me. Slab of muscle in a three-pc.
suit. Cut down an alleyway clacking heels
echoing my own. Ducked down into the subway. All
those dime detective stories finally paid off.
(Dad was wrong not a "waste of time & money"
after all!) My "shadow" got on the train and I
worked my way through the crowd, backwards so I could
keep my eye on him. Slipped out the door just
before it pulled away. he was Stuck! Fuming, t
rying to pry open the door! (Didn't get a good
look at his face, more's the pity)

SO WHO WAS HE?

Somebody from Oakes grp.  Undercvr cop?

Gov't?

(wroking for STango?)

Was it my red-eyed "Traveler"?

(spooky - cue the Theremin!)

Notes on Rise, Rapture, Rise

The Rapture Records-branded 45 sent to Mark.

The note found next to the record.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???

Is it a response from the THING?

Is it a clue to my daughter's whereabouts?

SOUNDS exactly like her...

but is this just ANOTHER TRICK???

TERRIFIED???

COME & FIND ME

I'm trying, honey
