Show Notes
The Program has made its decision, and the agents have made theirs. A phone number leads to a midnight meeting with someone willing to help, though not enough to ask too many questions. From there, the trail runs through back rooms, borrowed favors, and equipment no one intends to account for. By the time the agents reach El Paso, the job has become simpler in theory and much worse in practice. There is a facility behind fences, people moving in and out, and no clear way to know what is happening inside without getting closer. So they watch. For now, that is the easy part.

The agents have found their monster. Now they have to decide what to do about him. A search of Esau Tillman's apartment reveals the workings of a deeply disturbed mind, and evidence that his ambitions extend far beyond the walls of the detention center. But knowing what Tillman is doing and knowing how to stop him are two very different things. The agents have guns. They have a few questionable allies. They have a plan—or at least the beginnings of one. What they don't have is any confidence that another act of violence will make things better.

After a long day under the El Paso sun, the agents are ready to get a closer look at the detention facility they've been watching. But getting inside requires something more difficult than breaking down a door: navigating government bureaucracy.
The investigation is over. The agents have traced the evidence, argued over what it means, and prepared their recommendations for the Program. All that remains is to hand over the report and let someone higher up the chain decide what happens next. To the Program, this is a question of timing. To the agents, it is a question of what happens while they wait. As the team waits for an answer, a question begins to take shape: What happens when following orders and doing the right thing stop being the same thing?
The trail ends in El Paso. After hours buried in BLACK LANTERN, the agents can finally put a name to the last missing child of Cornucopia House. Conrad Hopko became Jacob Tillman. Jacob became Esau. And Esau found his way inside Immigration and Customs Enforcement, into a system filled with captive children. But the deeper the team digs, the less their investigation feels like an investigation. Something is watching from inside the walls. Something is beating itself bloody against the windows. And sometime after four in the morning, the universe delivers a message. By sunrise, the agents have their answer. They know who Conradin is. They know where he went. And across the ruined pages of their evidence, written in blood, something has given them their next assignment. Published by arrangement with the Delta Green Partnership.

The storm has come to Tokyo. The Kazegama remains at large, the hour of an ancient ritual draws near, and the shinobi hunting it are running out of time—and patience. Sarutobi Hayate takes drastic action when when the shadow of suspicion falls upon the supernatural detective. Hattori Azami's loyalties are strained to the limit. Councillor Hattori Michiko delves into Tokyo's seedy underbelly to uncover Yagyuu Shinsaku's true motives. And Kido Renji keeps manipulating everyone around him. Then everything explodes into battles of will, rooftop confrontations, and drawn steel — and every ninja must finally decide what they’re willing to sacrifice. Thunder rolls. Blades flash. And beneath the blackened sky, the truth is waiting to strike. The intro music is "Fragile Horizon (Drama Trailer)" by Amaksi via Pixabay. The outro music is "Shinjuku" by Partyton via Pixabay.
