Charley finds the drug dealer and he is looks ugly. His muscles and bones are totally exposed (from being toss into the acid bath and because he mostly liked took the immortality drug he can not die).
Meanwhile, Craig and Mr. Liu continue their discussion and tossing of the fruit. Mr. Liu says he tried to get the drug dealer to talk by using extreme torture techniques but the guy wouldn’t say a word. Mr. Liu then asks Craig what’s in it for him if he tells the whereabouts of Wayne? Craig decides to come up with a new deal. He say he can get the drug dealer to talk (he says his face is much more appealing then the scary Mr. Liu) in exchange for #86. At this time Craig has the orange in his hand. Mr. Liu laughs as he sees what Craig really wants, the drug dealer. Mr. Liu tells Craig he needs to get his partner away from the drug dealer before the drug dealer starts talking or his partner (Charley) will die. And just as Mr. Liu is saying this the orange in Craig’s had totally incinerates. Mr. Liu had injected the fruit with some type of poison (now Craig is worried). Mr. Liu then accuses Craig of being a Woodsley employee since he has a connection with the Wayne family, Harold (oh, no!)
Back to Charley.
Charley gives the horrible looking drug dealer the watch from Harold and tells him someone on the outside is thinking of him. The drug dealer recognizes the watch and tears (I think it’s tears. It could just be bodily fluid, comes streaming down his face). Ouro tells Charley they have to go. The bombs will be going off in 20 minutes. Charley tells the drug deal, “I’m sorry . . . This is gonna hurt but just endure it!” He picks up the drug dealer and starts running for the exit (remember Charley was supposed to leave the guy there and get the information only. That’s why Charley is so great! So, compassionate).
Craig maybe over his head in dealing with Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu has now decided he wants a new deal. He has removed all the bombs Craig and his team had set to go off to create chaos. Mr. Liu is willing to let Charley and the drug dealer live in exchange for #86. Mr. Liu takes out his cell phone and dials one of his associates. He informs Craig that the associate is in LA, California outside his apartment. Mr. Liu asks Craig one more time where is #86 and Craig reluctantly begins to say “He is in my room’s . . .” There is a gunshot and the associate enters Craig’s bathroom. Mr. Liu says the deal is done (however when the associate enters the bathroom #86 is not there. He actually escaped and is standing outside the apartment building. hmm . . . )
Craig is extremely worried now, because he hears death bells and instantly thinks of Charley.
Outside a rundown building an assassin arrives. A man at a counter asks where is Emporio the usual assassin. The new assassin says “He must’ve screwed up.” No matter really, the counter guy tells the assassin that the targets are hiding in Ouro’s room (oh, no Charley, Ouro, and slimy drug dealer guy are in trouble).
Inside the apartment Charley is not looking or feeling to well. The smell of the drug dealer’s raw flesh is making Charley hungry (he hasn’t eaten in while). It’s 2:32, Ouro is worried that Pablo the Escapist hasn’t shown up yet and those darn death bells are ringing. The drug dealer says an assassin is mostly likely on his way to kill them all. Then they all hear a noise outside in the hallway. It’s the assassin, he is getting closer to their room. As the assassin is walking down the hall he is dropping his briefcase (that’s the noise they heard), hat, scarf and other articles of clothing. Now the assassin is right outside their door. Charley tells the others to hide. He prepares himself to take on the assassin. The door opens . . . . . . . . . and there standing before Charley is the always handsome Rayflo (he looks so good) 
Obviously, Charley is in totally shocked (I am too!) Rayflo leaps into Charley’s arm and looks Charley straight in the eyes and then totally flips out. He is all gaga by Charley’s bad boy appearance. Charley tries to make sense as to what has happened but he can’t. He can’t even talk. All he can say is Mas. . .ter? Rayflo says he hasn’t the time to explain and while he is undressing he says “I’ll just have to satisfy you and rescue you at the same time” And Charley take a wonderful and big bite of his Master!
OMG, I just love Rayflo and Charley so much! And to have this volume end on such a cliffhanger is sheer torture. But I’m all geared up for the next volume. What’s going to happen? What’s going to happen? Ugh, I can’t take it – it’s sooooooo good
Until the next volume!
