Drake stood impatiently outside the lecture hall. As he waited he looked out over the campus he'd once been so accustomed to. Everything had changed. The differences were subtle, but they were there. Some things had deteriorated, others had been rebuilt or replaced. It was like being in an alternate universe version of his once familiar alma mater. But it was just the inexorable passage of time that had made the changes.

The doors to the hall suddenly swung open and snapped him out of his reverie. Dozens of chatting students poured from the hall, all carrying tablets and cell phones. Gone were the large bags that weighed down his youthful shoulders with a full day's worth of heavy old books. They all looked so young. Was he ever that young? Youth is wasted on the young, he thought to himself. He couldn't remember who had said that, but standing here today he felt it to be true.

The flow of students slowed to a trickle and then eventually stopped. Drake continued waiting until a lone older gentleman in a suit coat and jeans emerged from the now empty hall. The man was fiddling with papers that were spilling out of his laptop bag. Once he seemed secure in the knowledge that the papers wouldn't go flying away he began to dig in his coat pocket, still staring down absentmindedly as he walked past Drake. Eventually he pulled out an old pipe and stuck it in his mouth.

"Hey Doc, I thought this was a smoke free campus," said Drake.

"Alex?" replied the startled professor, the pipe nearly falling from his mouth as he spun around. "I don't actually light it, you know. Some habits just die hard." He was the poster boy of a college professor… from the nineteen fifties. His dark brown hair was slicked back and parted to the side, gray just starting at his temples. Horn rimmed glasses and a pipe to top off the look. "And it's Professor."

"Whatever you say 'Doc'."

"So what brings you out here to the campus, Detective?"

"You mean what is so important that I'd get off my butt and drive out here instead of just shooting you an e-mail like usual?"

"I imagine it's something to do with the girls that have been abducted, they've all been college girls I seem to recall. Do you have a lead? Some cryptic reference you need my specific occult knowledge to decode?"

"Sorry Doc, nothing so fanciful. You do make it sound interesting though, like some Dan Brown novel."

"Oh, alright then, what is it?"

Drake looked Professor Flora straight in the eyes, carefully watching for his reaction.

"I think the cult may be active again."

"Seriously? The Circle? How could that be? You and I both know that O'Bannon and Father Martin sent them running years ago."

"Lee Miller was in the Circle. He had the brand," Drake deadpanned.

"Yes, but Miller was just a teen when they were disbanded. He was only a remnant of that group…"

"Sure their leader was killed, 'Take out the head' and all of that, but the others may have just been driven underground.
