Long Summary
Fourteen months ago in Algeria, General Gibbs of the Jugglers is approaching a truck when Wraith appears out of nowhere. Inside the truck is the Baroness. Gibbs and Wraith cut deal for the Baroness; Wraith is pardoned for the Blackwater Prison attack (DD Real American Hero #31) and given a huge reward. The Baroness promises that she will kill Wraith.
Currently in Prague, the Baroness is meeting with an old friend, Dusan who owes the Baroness an old favor. He has contacts inside the government that can help her find Wraith aka Charles Halifax. Dusan hesitates but the Baroness threatens directly to kill his family. He in return promises to get the information to her in two hours.
The Joe team is trying to track down the Baroness. And the biggest question they have is why hasn't she returned to Scotland to see her husband Destro?
In Scotland Destro is teaching his son, Alexander now his official heir to his empire, about leadership. Mistress Armada is also in room, when an Iron Grenadier interrupts with an important phone call for Destro. During the conversation, Alexander over hears his father say "what do you mean, 'other son'?". Destro hangs up quickly and storms out of the room.
On the other end of the phone Cobra Commander with Blackout and Tomax in room hangs up the phone.
In a night club in Prague, Charles Halifax is partying with a group of girls when he receives a call about a meeting.
In Switzerland, the Joe team has traced the Baroness to the House where she cut a deal with Major Bludd.
In Saudi Arabia, Major Bludd working with Colonel Sharif are about to attack an oil refinery.
At a cemetery in Prague, Wraith and the Baroness are about to square off. After an exchange of gun fire, Wraith gets close enough to punch the Baroness. She had hoped he would get close; she then deactivates his suit and hits him over the head with a tombstone. The Baroness stands over Wraith and kills him.
