SOUTH PHILADELPHIA
Cole was in the cathedral, arranging his army-type figure toys. He's arranging them all on a battlefield. He's in his own little world, playing with toys.
Suddenly, he heard a voice in front of him say, "So...*playing* at war, child?"
Cole looked up. It's an Asian man in his 40's, dressed in a black karate suit.
The man said, "That is the problem with children today. They play..they set up their little toys, pretend that the good guys always win..and go home to their mothers. *Life*..is not like that, Mr. Sear. You must play for real if you are to survive on the battlefield! You must do whatever it takes to win." He pointed at the army men. "See? You are protected on the front and sides.. but what of the rear? You leave an opening for an attack! He will surely take
advantage of such a move..as should *you*. The finest general first enters the mind of his enemy..find their weakness..exploit it. Every advantage is fair and just! For there are no rules in battle."
Cole stared at this man. Ever since he began talking to him, he felt cold. This man was a ghost. "Who..who are you? Is there.. something you wanted to tell me? Can I help you?"
The man smirked. "You..help me? You are but a child. Defenseless. And without hope. YOU would not survive in *any* battle, boy. You live in a cruel world where the powerful crush the weak..You are NOTHING."
Cole was suddenly shaking with fear. He felt cold. Deep inside, he knew there was something very dangerous about this spirit. Something evil. "Who..who are you, mister?"
The man smiled wickedly, then backed up. "You DON'T wan't to know."
Then he walked out the door.
As the man walked away, Cole noticed that the man had a gash in his back, some type of knife wound. Cole tried to follow him. But when he went out the same door, he looked around..and the mysterious man-in-black was nowhere to be found.

CHINATOWN
CAINE'S APOTHECARY
Kwai Chang Caine was meditating in a lotus position (legs crossed Indian-style). Surrounded by four candles. All was calm. Suddenly, he felt a strong wind blow into the room. He opened his eyes, as if he was in pain. He gasped, "An evil force..far from here..yet *very* close to home. It threatens to control a community. An enemy of darkness..great evil..I KNOW who this is...and yet..I do not." He rose up, waved his arm around, snuffing out each candle with his chi. "I must defeat this darkness..or we shall all perish."
