Dear Joyce,

Thank you for the timely warning. We were moved safely, and I am on my guard.

I'm very worried about Dr. Walker, though, Joyce, very worried. He was away on a 
"family emergency", but it happened at the time you were warning all of us that the 
Enemy might be trying to capture us. Since Dr. Walker returned, he has been acting very 
strangely, and I can only wonder if he truly had a family emergency, or if he fell into 
Enemy hands, and if so, what was done to him and what the Enemy knows of us now.

The morning he came back, Dr. Walker acted as if nothing had happened. But, what people here 
at the new place don't realize is that he actually came back, secretly, the night before!

I was watching out a window. A window, Joyce! It is so nice to have a room with a window again. 
I saw him move four large objects from his car onto a hospital trolley. I got only a quick 
glimpse -- a cylinder, perhaps a foot high and almost as much in diameter; something a little 
taller with what looked like lenses; a box with vacuum tubes and a sounding board; and something 
that looked like a strange record player, but with a metal disc, not vinyl one -- before Dr. Walker 
covered everything with a sheet and pushed the trolley into the hospital.

I did not know that first night where he had taken those strange items. But, I later learned that 
there is a room that he has set aside, Joyce. He always locks the door, and only he has the keys. 
The door is too strong for me to break, and I never could get through locked doors the way Vince 
Stark could.

I have listened at the door sometimes. Even when he is the only one in the room, Joyce, I swear 
that I have heard two voices.

Sometimes, he is not the only one in the room. Joyce, he sometimes goes into that room with 
Edgar Job. He never allows anyone else to come into the room. And then, when I listen, I can hear 
three voices -- Dr. Walker's voice, Edgar Job's voice, and -- that -third voice-!

Obviously, I cannot tell anyone else at the hospital. They would think that I was insane. But, I 
know that you will understand. Joyce, I think Dr. Walker was taken and I think that Edgar Job has 
never stopped working for the Enemy -- for whoever leads what was left of Echevarria's cult after 
that terrible day in 1924. Edgar Job is doing something terrible to Dr. Walker -- and that voice! 
That third voice that can belong to nothing human -- whoever owns that voice is doing something 
unspeakable!

Please come quickly! We have to save Dr. Walker from the Enemy! I am not a strong man, and I am 
not a soldier any more, but I will do what I can.

Your Friend,
Douglas
