The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida

Maali and Sena wait in the mala tree for a sign from the Crow Man. Sena tells Maali that Crow Man can teach him how to harness many powers, including possessing the living. Crow Man summons them; Jaki has shown up at the cave for her meeting.

Crow Man tells Jaki that he is in contact with Maali’s spirit. Maali needs Jaki to hand over the address book so he can gain varam. Crow Man also reports that Maali needs Jaki to find his negatives and gives the hint that the negatives are with the King of Elves and Queen. Jaki refuses to hand over the address book and instead gives Crow Man Maali’s used bandana. Crow Man is feeling sickly and asks Jaki to come again the following week.

Jaki tells DD about the Crow Man and shows him how Maali has marked his address book with cards on specific phone numbers. The Queen of Spades is the phone number for Elsa at CNTR. She suspects that the Ace’s phone number is an Englishman with the Associated Press, Jonny Gilhooley. Jaki calls the number and informs Jonny that Maali has gone missing.
