| - Deep in the caverns underneath Gotham City, Jonah Hex wrestles with a massive prehistoric bat. Finally, he manages to stun the creature long enough to bring his pickax down hard on it, killing it, and ripping off its head. This act seems to have impressed the previously hostile underdwelling Miagami people. Hex shows them the bat's head, and in exchange, the Miagamis direct them to climb up a certain crevice. Hex and his companion Amadeus Arkham emerge on the property of Wayne Manor, where Alan Wayne and his wife Catherine reside. Arkham assures the bounty hunter that the Waynes are very generous, and that it would probably be better if he did all of the talking. After being invited inside, Arkham explains the case of the stolen children, and the Waynes are moved to do all they can to help. They turn to the local police to raid the child-slavers' hideout, knowing that the two of them are believed to be dead. While the police occupy the slavers, Arkham gathers the last of the kidnapped children and Hex goes after the leaders of the gang, killing with conviction. He catches up to the large man who had thwarted them before, and after shooting him through the shoulder, he thrusts his pickax through the man's leg, sending his victim into tears. Hex demands to know where Thurston Moody's son is, but the man claims that he never kidnapped the boy. When Hex threatens to pierce the other leg, the man admits that he is actually working for Thurston Moody. Suddenly, it all becomes clear. Hex and Arkham return to St. Jude's orphanage, where Sister Marks leads them to the O'Grady family's house. The O'Grady's had had their own son return in a very sickly state after a long absence, likely having been kidnapped for slavery himself. Hex demands to know where the Moody boy is, and the O'Grady's admit that it was they who had kidnapped him, knowing that if they kidnapped a rich man's son, it would draw attention to the need for some investigation into the kidnappings going on in Gotham's poorer neighbourhoods. Sadly, in the meantime, the O'Grady's own son has died. Despite the protests of Arkham and Sister Marks, Jonah Hex explains to the young Moody boy that it is his father who is responsible for the O'Grady boy's death, and the enslavement of several other boys like him. Moved, the boy determines that he will never be like his father, and Hex and Arkham decide to take him home to his mother. Mrs. Moody is horrified by her husband's activities, and informs the pair that he has likely gone to New Orleans, where he has several property holdings and investments. In New Orleans, Nighthawk and Cinnamon receive a telegram to notify them of Jonah Hex's imminent arrival.
