[[Penelope Creighton-Ward|Lady Penelope]] and [[Parker (Assassination!)|Parker]] leave home, intent on finding the culprit for the murder of [[610th Kaplan|the Kaplan]]. She asks Parker who he would approach if he needed to hire an assassin; the chauffeur replies that he would surely try to get in touch with [[Count Lugosti]], the "king-pin gunman of the underworld", who works through agents and intermediaries to stay clear of the law. Penelope asserts that he must be the culprit, as such an important job as the Kaplan's assassination would surely have been handed to the best. | [[Penelope Creighton-Ward|Lady Penelope]] and [[Parker (Assassination!)|Parker]] leave home, intent on finding the culprit for the murder of [[610th Kaplan|the Kaplan]].

Assuming he must still be in [[Unity City]], as the [[World Security Patrol]] will surely nit let anybody get out of the City until the culprit is found, they leave [[England]] for [[Bermuda]] in a [[Fireflash | Assuming he must still be in [[Unity City]], as the [[World Security Patrol]] will surely nit let anybody get out of the City until the culprit is found, they leave [[England]] for [[Bermuda]] in a [[Fireflash Airliner]]. There, they head to a [[casino]], guessing that Lugosti, being a gambler with a need to hide in a crowd, won't have been able to resist. Penelope, who knows all of the world's greatest public gamblers, has no trouble picking out the one strange face as Lugosti. Posing as an amateur, Penelope invites the Count to a game of [[Century (game)|Century]] where she cheats using a tie pin that is actually an infra-red camera transmitting to Penelope's spectacles — allowing her to see her opponent's end. | ||
After winning everything from Lugosti, Penelope heads out and lures him into a dark alley, where, as she had expected, he threatens her at gunpoint for his money back. Calmly, Penelope answers by asking him if this is the same gun he used to kill the Kaplan; releasing a [[truth drug]] [[gas]] from her purse, she forces Lugosti to admit to the murder, which he says he actually committed using a [[firearm|rifle]]. She ties him to a lamppost and leaves. | After winning everything from Lugosti, Penelope heads out and lures him into a dark alley, where, as she had expected, he threatens her at gunpoint for his money back.
