; Pitch
<blockquote>
<p>Seattle, the Emerald City, a city of a thousand stories, stories about
life and death, and sometimes, what happens after you die. That's my
beat, I'm Seth Green, I'm the editor for the alternative newspaper The
Fremont Low Tide Review. I'm also the publisher and head reporter as
well. I wear many hats in this job.</p>

<p>So here I am, trying to get this week's issue to bed when Susie, my
"administrative assistant", AKA receptionist, knocked on my door.
"Seth, this just came in," she said, waving a manilla envelope.</p>

<p>"Fed Ex?" I asked, taking the proffered envelope. It had the Low Tide's
address and the word Private stamped on it.</p>

<p>"Bicycle messenger," she replied. "He wouldn't say who sent it." She
hovered a bit, curious as to what was in the envelope.</p>

<p>"Susie," I said, looking for my letter opener, "don't you have some
advertisers to call up and demand payments from?"</p>

<p>She looked sheepish and said, "Yes boss." She only called me "boss" as
a way to reprimand me.</p>

<p>When the door closed, I pushed a button and locked it. I set down my
letter opener and turned around to my work space behind my desk. I
pulled out my ID card and swiped it over a nondescript portion of the
workspace. The top rolled back and the document scanner rose up.</p>

<p>I picked up the pair of sunglasses nestled in their holder, charging. I
put them on and looked at the envelope and picked up Kirilian scanner.
Swiping the envelope with the scanner, spectral images glowed along
portions of the brown paper. Someone not of this world sent this to me.
Well, not of the living world anyway. I was friends with many a dead
person. I didn't know who sent this, as ghosts tended not to sign
things.</p>

<p>I popped it into the doc scanner and ran the ultrasound scanner. Inside
the envelope were four cardboard rectangles. Tickets by the looks of
them. And a small square piece of paper.</p>

<p>Nothing evil or dark came up from scanner or my sunglasses, so I pulled
the envelope from the scanner and carefully opened the envelope, then
dumped the contents onto the workspace top.</p>

<p>Four tickets for something called "Doctor Dan's Den of Darkness
Freakshow" and the paper square was blank.</p>

<p>Great. The tickets were for tonight, and I knew who to invite along
with my girlfriend Katherine. Plato and Stefano. Two members of Team
Fremont.</p>

<p>Who are we? We work for the most secret government agency you have
never heard of:</p>

<p>We are agents of Bureau 13, and we Stalk the Night Fantastic...</p>

: '''Part 1:''' Seth Green, Plato Ferris, and Stefano Renault discovered a large, magical bear from the land of Faerie at Dr Dan's Den of Darkness Freakshow near Southcenter. They made a deal with the White Witch of Fremont to help send "Antoine" the bear back to Faerie. Only now, it seems that trouble is a brewing in Southcenter, and starts with T and that rhymes with "B" and that stands for bear...
