<i><b>The Story So Far </b>

Charlie Kane promised the people of Arkham a safer
future. He made a lot of promises - lower taxes, better
schools, less crime. It was part of the job, after all. He
said what he had to say to get elected, and then he set
about doing what he could to help people. Although
he had to do things he wasn't proud of, Charlie always
worked for the greater good. The people came first.

So when Charlie Kane started hearing the reports, he
put the people first. Of course, he couldn't tell anyone
- couldn't even reveal what he had pieced together, reports
from various parts of the city government that painted
a macabre portrait of Arkham's future. For one, who'd
believe him? For another, how would widespread
panic serve the public good?

Still, Charlie has always had connections in town. So
he gathered up his reports and paid a visit to Professor
Grant at Miskatonic University.

The fact that he now stands before Professor Grant's
mutilated corpse in Professor Grant's blood-splashed
office, does not fill Charlie Kane with confidence.</i>
