Title:
GI JOE A Real American Hero #61
Synopsis:
Stalker, Quick Kick, Outback and Snow Job have the mission to bust reporter Devlin Winchell out of Borovia. Hawk gives them cover identities as trade emissaries from separate countries and has them discharged to give the government basis for denial.
The next day, in Borovia, the Joes reunite with Spigou, their underground contact, who tells them Winchell is being held in the basement of the State Security building, Borovian equivalent to the FBI. Spigou has blueprints of the main floor and the basement, some security tips, and weapons for the Joes to attempt a jailbreak.
In Denver, Billy verbally confronts his father, Cobra Commander, and leaves despite Fred VII and Raptor’s attempts to stop him. He seeks the Blind Master, but only finds his assistant Jinx, with whom he agrees to walk the path of the ninja, but despite suspecting that she’s affiliated to the G.I. Joe team, he won’t betray his father. Cobra Commander has an ephiphany about messing his son’s live and quits, leaving his battle armor, but Raptor says that without Cobra he would go to jail for tax fraud, and Fred claims that he gave up his past for Cobra, so Fred shoots the now unarmored Cobra Commander in the back, and then notices that anyone could pretend to be him with the armor.
In Borovia, the Joes enter the building and beat the guards, but all cells are empty, so they interrogate the last conscious guard, who answers that Winchell was already sent to the U.S.A. in exchange for a Borovian spy, and the State Depertment didn’t inform the Department of Defense. Upstairs, other guards arrive and activate the alarm. The Joes escape in a truck driven by Spigou, but Quick Kick and Snow Job are injured, and Stalker stays with them as mission leader, so he orders Outback to escape alone, and Spigou is blown up by a Borovian tank.
In the United States, the other Joes watch the news about so-called ”western mercenaries” and the State Department denying any connection with them. Rock ’n Roll asks Hawk when will be the rescue mission, but Hawk answers that there will be no rescue attempt, and anybody who tries one will be disowned as well.
