Synopsis for 1st story
Grifter helps Alicia Turner and the Black Razors break up a deal between two arms smugglers. When a sniper kills one of the smugglers, Cash runs to their position and finds the rifle used along with a card bearing a bird symbol. Later, disguised as a bike messenger, the sniper takes a shot at him in the lobby of the Halo Corporation, and Grifter realizes he is the target. He tracks the sniper to the home address of novelist Catherine Curtis. He finds her tied up in the sewers beneath the house. Once he frees her, she shoots him in the arm, saying Catherine is dead and calling herself Tanager. She claims she targeted him for sport. Wounded, Grifter runs until he comes to a dead end. Tanager follows, and he jumps her from the pipes along the sewer ceiling. They exchange gunfire, and Grifter shoots her in the chest, killing her. Days later, Turner joins Cash at Curtis’s burial. He tells her that Curtis was caught up in a larger scheme, and he vows to stop it, leaving a rose on Curtis’s coffin. After they leave, a woman picks up the rose and says Tanager will send Grifter to join Curtis soon.
