The Creature emerges from the cellar, and automatically smacks the Captain out of the way across the room to kill Grey. Mary manages to save him by chucking the bag full of the thing's bones at it, which freaks it out enough for it to smash through a wall and head into the street.
Grey chases after it, only to be held up at gunpoint by a rather smug member of the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra. The guy from the HBR says that Gray has no understanding what he's dealing with, and how they are going to take the creature into their possession by using SCIENCE, in the form of narcotic gas and electrical cattleprods. These turn out to useless against a creature that's basically a physical ghost at this point, and it pulls the HBR henchmen apart for its own amusement.
The now huge Creature starts to advance on Grey, but seeing Mary and the Captain advancing up the alley behind up with the Shambhalan sword (symbol of its creators, and used by them to control things like itself) causes it to back off and disappear into the fog, flinging a cart out of the way as it goes.
Faced with now the threat of a sinister secret society as well as a genetically engineered vampire ghost from the dawn of time, Grey and Mary decide to do what most British people do when faced with situations of extreme stress.
Namely, pub. Where they get to know each other better, and discuss why the general public dislike Grey so much.
The Captain shows up before Grey can brain Mary's brother with a beer mug, admitting that they have to find a way to get her away from him sometime in the near future. The Captain explains that he's thought of a plan.
The Creature lives in mortal dread of its bones, and if they could, in theory, reattach its spirit to them and give it regular flesh again, they might be able to properly kill it. Grey is sceptical of this, as to him all magic is the tool of the Devil, but the more pragmatic Captain says that really it's more of a tool, and the important thing is how you use it. The Shambhalan sword is magic, he points out, but they have no problem using it against evil.
Grey asks him if he knows someone who could do what they need, and the Captain replies that he used to. Used to being because the former most powerful magician in England was shoved head first into his own fireplace by his apprentice, Martin Gilfryd (important name to the events in BPRD).
The Captain reasons that Gilfryd, who locked up in Bedlam, SHOULD be able to fill the function of his master. The fact that he appears to know why they're there when they arrive at the hospital to start the ritual, doesn't exactly give the impression that the affair will be easily completed...
