Taylor Fearbrave looked at her friend Bentley, and he soon brought up his computer.
Bentley was preparing the Dark Diamond to open the portal to the next world so me and Tess can enter.
Bentley checked on his computer, trying to get intel of the main target, and found nothing, except a few newspaper articles.
Bentley tried to get the lowdown on fourth member of the Nightmare Eight, the Beldam, but just like the last two members, there was nothing about her except some newspaper articles about the location she was in, the Pink Palace.
Taylor and the others read it, and were shocked about what the articles say.
According to the articles, the Pink Palace has had in the historical record three counts of missing children case, during this the children sometimes mention that the ran into some woman dubbing herself as their Other Mother. And during one of their visit to this Other Mother, they never came back.
Taylor felt sad and scared, but then Bentley showed the picture of the spider who is assisting the Beldam.
Bentley soon shows me the Beldam's helper, who was once Interpol's most renowned prison warden: The Contessa.
Taylor soon sees the spider alone a bit, but then was next to another spider that looked like a general, and she was wearing wedding gown, and both have a glass of wine, but the general's wine had green bubbles coming out of it.
While still a criminal psychology student, she entered into a whirlwind romance, and married a wealthy aristocrat.
Both spiders drank the wine, and the bubbles were around the general, then soon had an x over both his eyes, and fell down dead.
Sadly the union was short lived, as the general, 'suspiciously' died a few weeks after the ceremony.
The Contessa was soon wearing a widow's gown, then Taylor sees a castle like building with barb wire around it.
The widowed Contessa put her education and newly acquired estate to work, by opening a criminal rehabilitation center here in Prague.
Taylor then sees the Contessa behind a web, then some swirling pictures, and then back to the web, but also with the symbol of Interpol.
Her pioneering use of hypnotherapy, had produce some good results, and subsequently earned her a prominent position within Interpol.
Bentley soon showed some pictures of him going into the Contessa's prison, which he learned something that was shocking, and after a few jobs, he first recued Sly, and a few more broke out Murray.
Bentley told me that he had to go to the prison since during the adventure of getting the stolen parts of the infamous Clockwork, since during a heist of stealing a part, Sly and Murray were capture, and he had to save them. During this, he learned that the whole prison is a scam, for she was putting inmates into hypnosis, and they told her where they hid their loot. Eventually he did pulled a few jobs, and freed Sly, and a few more jobs to free Murray.
Bentley then showed pictures of the Contessa, who was at a castle, then showed her being with Arpeggio, Dimitri, Rajan, and Jean Bison, showing her she was the shadowed figure, then a pair of eyes.
He then showed me that his gang decided to get payback on her, for after she escaped them in the prison, was now hiding in her scary castle estate. There was also the reason for it, for the Contessa, who until recently had been a secret member to the Klaww Gang, and was in possession of the Clockwork Eyes.
Bentley soon gave her the Thievius Raccoonus, and read about the eyes, then she saw the Contessa, then a familiar tigress with tanks and airplanes.
Bentley lend me the Thievius Raccoonus, and it described the eyes stopping opponents dead in their tracks, transfixed in their gaze. That didn't take a genius to think what an expert hypnotist could do with a dangerous artifact. News of the Contessa's corruption from the prison did spread to Interpol, and the late Constable Neyla, being closest to the case, was granted a cash allowance to hire an army of local mercenaries, which lead Bentley and his friends to walk into a full-scale war.
Bentley then showed some pictures of Carmelita chained to a bed, and was being hypnotized, then a few pics of jobs, then eventually Carmelita was freed, and the Contessa was beaten by Sly, then was captured by Neyla.
Carmelita, who was framed by Neyla in order to have her arrested for she was knowing too much, and the Contessa tried to hypnotize her with the Clockwork eyes. However after some jobs, Carmelita was freed, and the Contessa, after a beating from Sly and got the Clockwork Eyes, was arrested and was to stand trial for the crimes she did when working for Interpol, and promoted Neyla, the hero of Prague, to the rank of Captain.
Taylor soon sees the Contessa next a couple with red eyes, then was in a cell, which soon was emptied.
The Contessa was eventually released, and then got a job as a successful real estate broker, however it was short lived like her marriage, since her clients remembered nothing for she hypnotized them, and she was sent back to Heathrow Penitentiary, where she stayed there until she vanished, or should I say broken out.
Taylor grabbed her staff, and was ready when Tess jumped on her shoulder.
Now with all this info, I have a few objectives, find the girl that resembled the doll that the Beldam made, solve the mystery of the missing children, and find and capture the Contessa, and give her a few whacks on Carmelita's behalf.
Bentley got the Dark Diamond ready, and the Fourth Map was replaced with a portal.
The Dark Diamond soon opened up the portal, and I am ready to go to this Pink Palace in Ashland, Oregon, in the USA, while having the feeling Tess will be very helpful in this adventure.
Taylor gave Tess, who is on her shoulder, a smile, and the ottsel smiled back, then the human ran, and jumped into the fourth portal.
