*  ''' "Here They Come" ''',  January 5, 2006.
** ''RECAP'':  Last issue Julie Young left the Hopewell group with a tough beat.  Daniel was seeking a divorce, but she didn't want it!  Concilling Julie the group learned that Daniel was at the house packing the kids to leave, not wishing this to move in that direction Julie begged the group to help.  Mandy said yes and with a displacement of air Julie and Mandy teleport to her home just outside DC in Virginia.  As the others rush to aid, we learn Daniel is not alone!  His "representation" is on-site to aid in this "time of grief"...  Milos and his entourage stand between the lone fire fighter and distraught mother.  The group arrives soon only to see that Milos is not without resources - with him are:  a shorter Italian, a "surfer dood", a fine suited young woman, and an average looking guy.  Later they would learn that these Godlike exhibit the abilities to:  cast illusions, go intangible, grow more than 20', and the fourth is unknown.  <br>  The show of force was actually a ruse though.  It is the illusionist  (Gerald)  that would prove to be a prankster of the sick/twisted variety.  Milos and crew disappear (secretly under illusion) while Arthur, Jack and Brian make attempts to find, track and stop the "kidnappers".  Their efforts pay off but seemingly at a price - Alex falls free but in the wake of madness created by Arthur and Brian - Julie is killed!! <br> The sick truth comes to be that the illusionist has actually used the death of Julie to stop the Hopewell crew's persuit.  (in an unknown effect it is Arthur that actually changes the course of history to allow Julie to survive!)
