Tony and Mason track down a group of chicken smugglers. Mason saves Tony from getting shot, but takes a bullet in his arm. Tony ends up with blood from the perpetrator and Mason all over him -- giving him his usual impressions. Overnight, Tony realizes that Mason killed Evan Pepper. When Tony confronts Mason, Mason defends himself by tearing off Tony's ear -- with his teeth. Mason escapes.
Publisher’s description
FDA Agent Tony Chu just landed the biggest bust of his career, but while the bullets were flying and the bodies were falling, Tony's partner Mason Savoy took a slug. Now, Tony's on his own, and he just ate something that's revealed the identity of a dangerous enemy-- the absolute last person Tony should be facing without backup. The stunningly violent conclusion to first story arc of the surprise hit of the season-- and just maybe the very best comic you will read all month about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals & clairvoyants!
