Previously, Carter thought he saw Tommy Jordan through the diner window, and tears after him, Baxter in tow.

PAGE SIX:

PANEL ONE: A dilapidated old house on the edge of town. TOMMY JORDAN is entering the house. CARTER and BAXTER in hot pursuit.

CARTER:
Tommy! Tommy, wait!

PANEL TWO: CARTER and BAXTER enter the house.

NARR:
Of course it figures it’d have to be a creepy old house; but at this point, who the hell cares?

PANEL THREE splash panel: The interior of the house is old, decrepit; rotted. Picture a little old lady’s house with all her tchotchkes and bird cages, only she died and the place fell into ruin. CARTER and BAXTER just take it all in.

NARR:
Aaaaand it looks like someone died here and the whole house just up and died with them. Par for the course, I guess.
