I'm not going to venture a guess about this issue, given my poor track record.
Instead, I will express a hope: somehow, perhaps through a hilarious interaction with a Rube Goldberg device, Derek breaks his nose.

I'd guess either Derek and his break-in (not quite at broken-nosed territory yet) or some sort of immediate retaliation by Vikram.

Go go Daphne curve ball! Someone broke into the record store!.. pleases please please give a nod to the movie Empire Records in the future ( Jacqui has a throw away line like: "F#@# We forgot to celebrate Rex Manning day again this year!") http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112950/Unauthorized entry.. Into Dani's blocked memories! Ohhhhhh. Adrien found a way... into Kanti's heart... awwwwww. Someone hacked into Mallorys computer. Or someone discovered the combination to the lock on Dereks luggage is 1, 2, 3, 4. Someone brought a big bottle of Gin and now all bets are off! We are introduced to the fact that "anal girls" refers to more than just women who are very neat and organized. Funny that this title should show up now, considering just how many break and enter crimes have been committed since the start of the comic. |

So, he's not gone, he's permanently gone. Or someone is. Yikes! Derek's in over his head again.
And in all that, I missed that Dani taught the Moron skills as a lockpick? How did I miss that?
Oh, and the dude with the truck isn't very visible. Are we supposed to care who the guy in the convertible is, or is he just a bystander?

To me, the look on his face and his exclamation indicate a dead body--it would be a nice twist if El Magnifico were done in by the powers he thought he controlled and now Claudia was free to step into the power void.

I'm with jmundt29 on this. It sounds the most plausible in my mind. Then again, it could be sour milk or potpourri ( god that stuff stinks!) |

Operating under the assumption that Derek has found a decaying corpse, here's what I want to know:
In what ways is the doorman in on what's going on? He is abundantly clear with the lovely young fake process server that no one is there. A little too clear...
Speaking of the process server - I very much like the second panel.

The perspective seems too low for him to be looking at a cage with a dead bird in it--unless the parrot gained its freedom before expiring, or someone else broke in looking for something and left the place trashed with rotting corpse of dead bird.
We don't even know if that's actually the regular doorman. For all we know, he's a plant set there to discourage investigation into that apartment after the death of El Magnifico.
Small note--the gorgeous bicyclist seems to be a courier or messanger, not a process server. Do we have her name yet? I don't recall Derek identifying her during their last interaction or her identifying herself to The Doorman.
ETA--We don't have a connect between Q and El Magnifico yet or between El Magnifico and either iteration of Pink Clouds (unless we get verification that either he, or Claudia in his guise, is funding Vik's experiments or actually employs Yves).

The mysterious "messenger" still doesn't have a name. I guess that's Gil back there, twiddling his thumbs keeping the van behind the convertible. Another question remains--"Is there a Patrick?" If so, what does he think about Derek borrowing his uniform for this break-in? If not...why did Gil (who presumably doesn't know Claudia or the New York Harem) bother to mock up a new fake uniform for Derek. What about Derek would inspire that kind of loyalty in anyone--espcially considering that Claudia doesn't appear to be funding his efforts here.
Speaking of which--How does Marvelous Messenger know Derek, and why would she pull this for what's presumably a small under-the-table payment?
