Dampyr #70 (2006) pages 91-92: Rising from the coffin

Condor is interrogating his servant Erwin when he gets a surprise:

“Based on what I discover inside your mind, I will decide whether to kill you or leave you alive, Erwin…”

“And what do you read in… this?” (Erwin stabs Condor in the chest.)

“Ah! What…?”

“It's a knife! Its blade was dipped in the Dampyr's blood! And now it's inside your heart!”

“Rraaagh! If you think that will kill me, you're wrong!”

(Harlan rises from the coffin, bandaged but not as wounded as Condor supposed.) “We were hoping that it would at least slow you down a little… to give me time to finish you off, Condor!”

“Dampyr!”

(Harlan) “Your surprise seems genuine. You see, it's not that easy to read the thoughts of a Dampyr, and my friend Caleb Lost helped me perfect the technique of keeping them hidden.”

(Erwin) “Yep… one of the tricks is to keep them behind the closed door of some harmless thought… the fog of my migraine to hide the poisoned knife.”

(Harlan) “You are a smart and brave student, Erwin Rogers. Indeed, Edgardo Lopez, it's never too late to take back control of your destiny.”
