The Shadowcast: Season 1, Episode 3 - 'LINGO' and 'DEATH TO THE SHADOW'

"Rook stopped abruptly. Bart and Prexy had released their victim. 

Trembling, the henchmen were raising hands above their shoulders as they

stared toward the door. Rook saw terror in their bulging eyes. 

He wheeled, then became rigid also. 

Weird against the glow, reflected from the white walls of the hotel across the street

stood a blackened shape that the big shot recognized. 

Mammoth automatics projected from gloved fists. 

Burning eyes surveyed the villains from beneath the brim of a slouch hat.
