Synopsis:
After apprehending a group of drug dealers with Izzy O'Toole, the Question pays a visit to the home of his friend Tot. Men wearing gas masks use gas to knock out the Question, and they abduct Tot. Relying on a tip gained from a crazy woman, the Question tracks the kidnappers a facility run by Dr. Chesley Hodell which conducted government experiments using hallucinagens. He breaks into the facility. While fighting a martial artist security guard, the Question has a hallucinagenic reaction to the gas he was hit with the day before. He is then easily overpowered and knocked unconscious.
