Long Summary Zartan! While a reprint of Marvel (U.S.) G.I.Joe 25, the circumstances of Gung-Ho's injury and the discovery of Storm Shadow's tattoo differ from the US story (see Action Force #7). Holding the Baby! Lady Jaye sweats as she holds a bomb disguised as a baby. Crank Case tries to diffuse the bomb as Barbecue constructs a blast shield, just in case. Flint tries interrogating the female Crimson Guard, trying to get the secret of diffusing the baby bomb. As he is interrogating her, a reporting takes a picture of the proceedings seeing at as "military brutality." The photographer creates a diversion, and the Crimson Guard tries to escape, but Flint brings her down. Flint then handcuffs her to Lady Jaye, so if the bomb blows it would take both of them. As time runs down, the Crimson Guard finally admits that the blue wire should be cut and then faints. The bomb is diffused. Later, Lady Jaye questions Flint about which wire he would have cut. Flint says he flipped a coin, and he would've cut the red wire. Flint walks away, leaving Lady Jaye stunned.
