Armed with his new knowledge, Faust waited a few days after the interrogation of good Mr. Heinemann before making his next move. The circle of those he invited to attend this particular summoning was small; he had no desire to be caught by the police before he had the opportunity to use this knowledge.

This evening, the sign in front of the clinic was turned firmly to the side that said CLOSED. His assistant, however, still answered the door, ushering any expected visitors to the back room where Faust had set up his summoning pentacle.

"Thank you for coming," he said in a quiet voice. The lines of the pentacle were glowing with an eerie light.

"I've waited a long time for this... I... thank you. It's because of you that I'll be able to talk to my wife again."
