1 KYLE: THAT’S
WHAT WE USE TO BECOME INVISIBLE?

ME. MY LOYALTY LIES WITH YOU, KYLE
RICHARD.
Panel 3. Shot
from behind FOUR so you can see KYLE.
1 FOUR: MY
LOYALTY INSISTS I QUESTION YOUR MOTIVATION IN THIS SITUATION. WHY DID YOU SPARE ME? WHY ARE YOU GOING TO KILL YOUR MURDERERS?

MY MOM WOULD BE ASHAMED OF ME IF I LET HIM KILL YOU. YOU WERE DEFENSELESS. LIKE.... LIKE I ALWAYS WAS.

HAS A COMPUTER NETWORK WHERE HE KEEPS HIS INFORMATION, RUNS HIS ISLAND,
ETC. IT HAS WIRELESS ACCESS. I WOULD NEED TO BREAK INTO THE SYSTEM WITHOUT
HIS KNOWLEDGE. THIS COULD TAKE TIME.

MAY BE DONE BY THEN… WE MAY BE CUTTING IT CLOSE.

FORGOT YOU HAVE NO MEMORIES. YOU DON’T REMEMBER WHAT IT’S LIKE TO HAVE A FAMILY
AND FRIENDS. I WONDER WHY THAT IS.
(more)
Panel 4. Close-up on Four.
1 FOUR: HE
TOOK THEM FROM ME TO REMIND ME I WAS HIS, HE ONCE TOLD ME. I SUPPOSE THAT IS WHY YOU LOOK PALE AND HAVE
COLORLESS EYES, AND I COULD MIX IN THE POPULATION WITH THE PROPER CLOTHING.
2 KYLE: IT’S
TO KEEP ME FROM BEING NORMAL, OR EVEN RELATIVELY NORMAL.
Panel 5. KYLE is standing. FOUR is sitting as if concentrating.
