Nightcrawler #1

Storm asks Nightcrawler to investigate a horrific tragedy: thirteen children in a locked room at Metro-General Hospital were literally turned inside out and the fourteenth, young Seth Walker, is so traumatized by the event that he cannot talk about what happened. Kurt begins his inquiries but he quickly runs up against the silence of Seth and the anger of Dr. Childs. He does, however, find hoof prints burned into the roof of the hospital and he follows them all the way to the Dakota, where Dr. Childs lives. Security guard Barney Franks shows up to confront Childs but bursts into flames.
