    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

    Dr Blake Alexander is Dr Death 
    What is Fetch a term meaning the meeting of two doppelgängers. 
    "What the-!" said Dr Death seeing a grim reaper, "You can't be here." "Why?" asked the reaper Mortimer curiously. "You know as well as I do," said the doctor. "Yes, you're right, this is ridiculous," said Mortimer. "It is insane," said Dr Death. "Glad you agree," said Mortimer. "Why are you talking to yourself, Dad?" asked the Necromancer, seeing them as he entered the morgue. "I don't know why, boy," said Dr Death, puzzled. "I came to talk to him," said the reaper. "How can you be here, I am you?" said Dr Death. "Oh I forgot to tell me, did I?" said Mortimer. "Yes!" said Dr Death. "I travelled from the future to warn me I am going to die if I don't catch the Necromancer," said Mortimer. "What?" said Dr Death, glaring at his son. "I don't want to hurt you!" said the Necromancer. "Sorry not him the other one," said Mortimer. "What other one?" asked Dr Death. "The fake one," said Mortimer. "I have a copycat?" said the Necromancer, feeling flattered. "He wants to kill me, you psycho," said Dr Death. "Sorry," said the Necromancer. "I got to go," Mortimer said and poofed into thin air. "Wonder where he has to go?" said the Necromancer. "Probably judging himself," said Dr Death. "You said it, not me," said the Necromancer amused. Dr Death glared at him. 
    The copycat kills only Magicians. 
    Dr Blake Alexander and the others set out a 
    trap for the killer he can not resist a stage 
    performance by the leader of the magicians 
    but will Blake survive or will he die as foretold?
