Synopsis for "Stryking Similarities"

On Hart Island, a woman flying an aircraft helps Buzzcut escape from prison.  In Brooklyn, Stryker visits a café he used to frequent as a young man and is approached by a woman named Phara Perkins.  The adopted daughter of one of Stryker’s comrades in the Vietnam War, she asks his help in finding her missing twin sister, Sarah.  Stryker recalls her father being with him when he took down Buzzcut, then a member of his unit, for slaughtering villagers. Phara takes him to a warehouse in Manhattan where Buzzcut is waiting.  Sarah is there as well; she is the woman who broke Buzzcut out.  The sisters tranquilize both men and deliver them to genetic engineer Peter Reinbek.  Reinbek’s father tried to experiment on a wounded Stryker in Vietnam, but Stryker killed him.  Meanwhile, Ballistic saw news reports of Sarah’s disappearance, saw that Sarah looks just like her, and enters Reinbek’s facility to investigate.  Phara catches her, but Ballistic quickly defeats her. She finds and frees Stryker, but then Reinbek has his genetically engineered monsters attack them.  Phara and Sarah turn on him; they are clones of Ballistic and regard her as their mother.  Reinbek kills Phara just as Buzzcut joins the fight against the monsters. Ballistic, Stryker, and Sarah escape, and the facility self-destructs.  Later, Sarah explains how she and her sister intended to use Stryker and Buzzcut to get revenge on Reinbek because he killed their father.
