Deadman #9 - Vertigo

I really do like this book. But, it really is as confusing as hell. We start out with Sarah having a dream that Scott is calling her. She goes outside to the garden, with all the statues and finds a baby in the pool. It's alive. And it startles her awake. She tells Brandon that her baby is alive. We then switch to another reality where Sarah is going to Dr. Fenton for a sonogram. So she still has her baby. She asks him a few questions, and they're just out there enough that he feels the need to prescribe her some Xanax. But then they're back in the hotel and they're talking as if she's lost the baby. They don't know where to start looking, but after some discussion they settle on Professor Plum's house. There they find a locked drawer in the desk. When they pry it open it's empty. But, " . . nobody locks an empty drawer." So they decide that Brandon is going to go back in time and put whatever was in the drawer on the top shelf of the closet. He messes up a little bit and sees himself, but Scott shows up and freezes time for him and says he'll fix it so he doesn't remember the incident. He goes back, and finds out that the file is a remote viewing file about Scott's sessions. We then go to back to the reality where Sarah had seen Dr. Fenton, but now she goes by Eve. She's in the tub relaxing, after taking a Xanax, and she's talking to her sister Jean. And her husband, who looks like Scott is named Jack. They go out to dinner, but she's not really at dinner. Really she's locked up in a mental ward. Her husband, Dr Fenton and Dr Kyle are all looking after her, and they're all looking to keep her safe until the baby is born. And that's what I mean about it being confusing. I know that the way that Brandon is existing, he can bounce back and forth between realities and time. But this is seriously f***ed up. I'm sure it'll all come together soon, but in the meantime, I'm really having a hard time keeping things straight. But that's probably the intention. To give us the feeling of what Brandon is going through trying to keep everything straight. I do like this book, but I hope it all comes together soon. For all of our sanity.
