This issue opens with a
short fourth wall break in which Daredevil lets the readers know that the
narrator for this issue will be none other than Foggy Nelson, and asks us not
to tell Foggy that Matt is Daredevil! Foggy is surprised at his office by Heather
Glenn, who tells him she’s in deep trouble. She confides that she discovered
her company is making bombs for some reason and he’s the only one who can help
as she doesn’t want to tell Matt. Matt comes back just then, and Foggy pretends
that he and Heather have dinner plans to catch up, while Matt secretly switches
to Daredevil to tail them. Foggy and Heather go to see her board director, who
claims no illegal activity and points out that Heather signed the purchase
order, thereby making her complicit, if any wrongdoing were to be found.
Foggy advises Heather to head straight home and he’ll try to sort things out.
Foggy visits various
government agencies in order to get to the bottom of things legally, but
encounters a mile of red tape that gets him nowhere. Foggy then tries less
reputable sources of information and scours every pool hall and shady bar he
can find. He eventually learns from one thug that the bombs are being used for
an upcoming heist, before said thug knocks Foggy out cold! Foggy is brought
before Eric Slaughter and pretends to be a street tough named “Guts” Nelson
looking to get in on the operation. Slaughter tells his men to shoot Foggy but
before they can, Daredevil shuts out the lights and stealthily takes out all
the goons in the dark! He slips back out before the lights come on, making it
look like Foggy took out the entire room himself! This impresses Turk, who
decides that he now wants to work for Foggy, causing Matt perched outside to
facepalm!
Turk takes Foggy to see
the Kingpin, while Daredevil overhears that the Kingpin is the one using the
bombs for a heist going on right then at the pier. Daredevil quickly makes his
way to the pier to intercept the heist, while Turk suggests that Foggy be the
Kingpin’s new hitman! Daredevil takes on the Kingpin’s men, making Kingpin
aware of his involvement, and Foggy bluffs that Daredevil is there on his
orders! In the scuffle, Daredevil is knocked into the river and blasted by the
radioactive isotope that Kingpin’s men were trying to steal. He resurfaces and
finishes off Kingpin’s men, and tells Fisk over the walkie-talkie not to mess
with Guts Nelson! This gives Foggy the courage to stand up to Fisk, and
convince him to wait until Monday to discuss his employment, though not without
almost getting strangled. Finally, Foggy tricks Turk into getting on a plane to
Chicago, laughing to himself as the plane takes off!
