Chapter Twenty-Seven- The Seige of Kemp's House
"Port Burdock is no longer under the Queen, tell your Colonel of Police, and the rest of them; it is under me—the Terror! This is day one of year one of the new epoch—the Epoch of the Invisible Man." So are the words of the invisible man to Dr. Kemp in a leter. He threatens his life in the note also. The invisible man starts his seige by first smashing all of the windows in the house. Colonial Adaye is also with Dr. Kemp, but he diecides to go get help. The invisible man stops him and kills him with a revolver. Dr. Kemp is nowhere to be found after Adaye is dead.
Chapter Twenty-Six- The Wickseteed Murder
The invisible man is furious. He goes out in a rage and throws a playing child and breaks their ankle. However, he gets his wits around him and goes off to a nearby estate. A man near that estate was found dead later, hit by an iron pole. Dr. Kemp speculates that the murder was not out of spite, however. The man simply was waling along and he saw an iron pole floating in the air. Out of curiosity he followed it. Griffin then killed him.
Chapter Twenty- Five- The Hunting of the Invisible Man
As the title says, Dr. Kemp and the person trying to capture the invisible man, called simply Adaye, make plans to catch the the fugitive. They tell everyone to shut their windows and doors and not to leave any way for him to get food. For as Dr. Kemp says, "inhuman. He is pure selfishness. He thinks of nothing but his own advantage, his own safety. I have listened to such a story this morning of brutal self-seeking.... He has wounded men. He will kill them unless we can prevent him. He will create a panic. Nothing can stop him. He is going out now—furious." The once sane person that has lost his visibility seems to have also lost with it his sanity.
