Summary

Folllowing Lady Penelope's tip-off, Steve Zodiac and Wilbur Zero arrive at the corner of two alleyways to find Count Lugosti, an assassin responsible for the murder of the 610th Kaplan, tied to a lamp-post. They take custody of him, with Zero driving the hovercar while Zodiac keeps an eye on Lugosti to make sure he does not escape.

Zero and Zodiac's green car is rammed by another, red hovercar; with the two momentarily stunned, shadowy men manage to extract Lugosti from the wreckage and take him away towards yet a third, intact hovercar. Zodiac recovers his senses in time to shoot at the rear thrusters of the enemy car, which crashes into a store; Lugosti tries to make a run for it, but is tackled to the ground by Zodiac.

However, Zodiac is then knocked out by a blow from behind by Lugosti's unseen rescuer. Getting back to his feet, a grateful Lugosti begins to thank his saviour, only to be told that "they" have no further need of him now that he is known to the police. Betrayed, Lugosti is fatally shot in the stomach with an energy weapon.
