Continued from last issue...October 8, 1986: Paul Reid is recalled from a concert appearance in Paris because of his brother's death. Approx. November 1, 1989: Mishi Kato finds her brother Hayashi a drunk in his beach house (in "Santa Barbara"), blaming himself for Alan's death, and she starts him on the road to sobriety and to restoring relations with the Reids. In The City (on "the east coast"), D.A. Diana Reid realizes that her former college pal Angela Devane is indeed following in her father's felonious footsteps and intends to kill Britt I. The motive: Diana had assured Angela shortly after her father's 1979 murder (in #3) that she knew for a fact that, despite appearances, the Green Hornet had not killed him, tipping Angela that the Reids were involved deeply with the Hornets. Meanwhile, Britt II asks Paul to pick up the mask and avenge his brother, showing him the newest Black Beauty in the process, but the young man adamantly refuses. Diane arrives at the Reid mansion to warn her father of Angela's intent, at which point Devane forces launch a devastating attack. Continued next issue....
