Hugo comes to on the card table. Everyone is gone but the hand, who talks to him through Morse code. Hugo finds he can't see. The hand tells him he took all of Hugo's debts from the card game and now Hugo owes him $12,000. Hugo panics because he doesn't have any money but the hand says it is OK, he just wants Hugo in his debt. The hand says that he is from "Fort Black" and that Hugo will help save Fort Black.
