The Egyptian Adventure: Acquaintances of the Emersons

"A rabbit you say? Are you sure it was not a giant mummified rabbit with razor sharp teeth?" asks reporter Kevin O'Connell.

Kevin O'Connell is an Irish reporter for the London Daily Yell, in whom "the journalist and the gentleman are always at war." He dogs the Emersons' steps for a story, but also pitches in when the crime-fighting gets tough. Emerson considers him the "brash young Irishman" and when they first met, he kicked him down the stairs. Through the acquaintance of the Emerson's. O'Connell claimed authority on ancient Egyptian curses, gruesome and supernatural events, and all kinds of criminal activity - which helped his career and readership. With his tendency to exaggerate his news columns, never the less he eventually became a loyal friend, much to Emerson annoyance.
