Mary Redhorn and Dick Grayson are in London, and inevitably come under attack, this time from Lady Vic and Brutale, sent to retrieve the damaging journal in her possession. Back home, Francis Redhorn is discovered dead, with the message 'truth is not an option' written in his blood. Once Mary is safe, Nightwing returns home and has his first meeting in costume with Sergeant Rohrbach, giving her the journal in the hope that this can begin the process of getting rid of the 'haven's corruption.
