Far better than the last issue. The hitman has a trap set for him as the people who want to see him dead are gearing up to take him down. Who is trapping whom, though?

A hitman. The agent after him with a squad of professionals unable to turn up anything on their target. The second issue creates more questions than it answers, but that is what is making it interesting.

Quotes by Doug Brunell (?)

“For some reason I took the idea that she was slightly interested in me and turned it into the insane idea that she was interested only in me. Here was proof that this wasn’t the case. Son of a bitch. Here it was. Proof once again that what I really wanted wasn’t meant to be. One more female, who in one way or another, let me down. And through a text, no less. I’m sure she didn’t mean it to be crushing, but Jessica, like most women I knew, had no idea of their power sometimes. A few simple words to them could be a mountain dropped on a man’s head.”
