Synopsis:
Continued from last issue: Diana Reid, given a minimal report on events, has hurried home to learn more, and is met by Lenore. One Dr. Donald Thompson is doing what he can for the dart-poisoned Kato, but identifying the toxin, and thereby its antidote, is beyond him. However, he has determined that it will prove fatal in 24 hours. Britt tells Diana that Paul--or, more accurately, the Green Hornet--has gone out to try to find the people responsible and get an antidote from them. His first stop is the same tattoo parlor he and Kato had visited earlier that night (last issue), but he finds the proprietor dead, executed for his disclosures to the verdant vigilante. His killers, tong assassins, have waited for the Hornet's return, but he survives, thanks to the unexpected intervention of...Sister-Hood! She, formerly leader of the criminal gang so entitled and then called Sister-One but now a lone operative under the group's name, has her own reasons for not wanting all of The City's criminal interests unified under Black Dragon control. Accordingly, the costumed woman tells the Hornet where he can get the antidote, from an old herbalist who lives in "The Maze," forgotten tunnels beneath the "Little China" neighborhood (she presumably learned of the Black Dragons, their choice of poison, The Maze and its resident from one of the women's-prison inmates who made up her now defunct organization seen in issue #s 18 & 19). While Police Commissioner Hamilton's family are told that even if the cop survives his wounds he might not walk again, the Hornet enters The Maze, met by even more hiding tong killers. Again, a surprising figure emerges from the shadows to cover his back, but this one is...The Crimson Wasp! She tells her former partner that she was sent from home by her father "forty-eight hours ago," before Hayashi was poisoned! The Japanese patriarch, it seems, has a mystical bond with his descendants. While the Hornet and the Wasp move deeper into the tunnels, back home Diana panics as Hay's heart stops! To be continued....
