Synopsis:
May 20, 1971: Green Hornet II pretends to muff an attempt to assassinate D.A. Scanlon, to set up the man who "hired" him to do it, Arlan Mitchell. Two months later he is convicted and threatens to make Scanlon pay, "No matter how long it takes!" "The present": Six warriors break Mitchell out of prison. One week later: Hayashi shows Paul the "latest addition to the Green Hornet's arsenal," a high-tech helicopter gunship called the Black Stinger, but the young man doesn't think it is the least bit appropriate to their operation, especially as it required letting a pilot in on the secrets. Hayashi's replies are less than adequate as responses to Paul's stated concerns. Furthermore, the newest Hornet reveals that he had hoped Mishi's departure would "end this game." Meanwhile, Britt has gone to see old friend Scanlon, only to have the retired D.A.'s wife inform him that Frank has already left to meet Britt at his mountain cabin in New Hampshire, as someone from the publisher's office had called and arranged. Reid makes a quick excuse to Alice, but, aware of both Mitchell's recent escape and long-ago threat, is concerned. Frank arrives at the site, and is met by Mitchell and his mercenaries.

Notes:
In an article previewing this series in "Comics Scene" magazine #9, (Oct.) 1989, Ron Fortier was quoted as saying that the character of the pilot had been named Jerry Axford, as an homage to the Mike Axford character of the 1960s Hornet TV series.
