Synopsis:
Adrian Chase resumes the Vigilante identity and returns to Dave Winston's apartment to collect his costume. The building is guarded by police, and Vigilante is forced to fight them. During his escape from the building, he is approached by Valentina Vostok. She has deduced his identity and recruits him to bring in the Peacemaker who has gone rogue.

Vigilante requests the help of detective Harry Stein, who has lost his job at the police department. They are both given intelligence that the Peacemaker will be seeking the terrorist Jhamed aboard a ship. Rather than waiting for the Peackmaker to show, Vigilante and Stein go after the terrorists. Vostok is angry, fearing that the Peacemaker will now avoid the ship. Despite Vostok's fears Peacemaker boards the ship anyway and threatens to kill her.
