Certain Events in London

At first, I was completely and totally lost. Now that I understand what the VF are though, I am in love with this story. I love the idea of the fantastical co-existing with our everyday lives. This could be an episode of the X-Files, one of the better ones. I am still in awe of how brilliant this story is. What happened to Edgar? Did he get trapped in the street as it disappeared? Why was Charles so mad at Edgar, and why didn't he share his information with the BWVF?
