EXCERPT FROM
"THE SPIRIT CLEARING"

His right hand was on the handle and with some unseen force the handle depressed and the door slid open, the freaky part was that frat boy still hadn’t moved, his feet were dragging in the heavy dust as the door swung open.
“Oh shit, are you seeing this?” The kid on the left side of Alan asked.
It would have been impossible not to considering Jed’s light was directly on him.
“Derek man what are you doing?” The kid on Alan’s right asked.
Derek’s head, with difficulty, turned to us, his mouth opened but no words came out, it was the eyes though, those will haunt me forever.
“My God!” Grace yelled. “His eyes...they’re black!”
Well, I was now officially freaked out.  I’d seen scary movies with this particular effect and it always scared the hell out of me.  Seeing it in real life, well that will put the fear of the devil in you. I noted that as a group we had moved to the far side of the corridor, not so that we were closer to Derek but rather so that we could see into the room he had now entered.
I had been under the impression that I had the fear producing juices at full operating power, that was of course until Derek’s feet began to lift off the ground and then I found a whole new threshold of nightmare nectar. His feet lifted completely up and got to the point where they were parallel to the ground, if he were to stick his hands over his head he would have been in the classic Superman pose.
“This can’t be good.” I said.  I ran the ten feet to get to him. I grabbed each of his legs by the calf and wrapped them under my arms. I could feel a pulsating power reverberating throughout his body. It was a nauseating sensation, as if he had thousands of maggots crawling under the top most layers of his skin.
Then he started to pull away from me, his hands dropped from the handle and he started to get sucked into the morgue.
“Help me!” I yelled as I arched my back trying to get leverage.
It was more moments than it should have been before I heard the approach of feet, by the time Jed got next to me I only had the very ends of Derek’s boots tucked up under me. Jed grabbed his right leg, I had his left and then as if someone had turned the vacuum cleaner on high Derek was ripped from our clutches, I ended up with one untied Timberland in my hand, Jed had nothing to show for his efforts except a ripped fingernail.
“What the…!?” One of the men holding Alan asked as he had rushed forward. “He’s...he’s gone. Jeets man what just happened?”
“I don’t know.” Jeets replied never coming closer.
I felt someone press by me but didn’t take my gaze from the room in front of me. The girl who I had not seen walked silently into the morgue. I don’t know why I followed that hooded girl in there but I did. 

QUESTION/CLUE FROM "BOOKS ARE MAGIC"

What was the name of the man sucked away?
