Synopsis:

Catwoman and Azrael pursue one of two remaining survivors of a previous Clench outbreak, a gangster called Fong, who is currently operating from Chicago. Tracker soon catches up with them, and the three decide to continue together rather than waste time squabbling among themselves. When they catch up with Fong and explain why they'd like a sample of his blood, he decides to prove his immortality to them (believing he will live forever since he survived the plague) and dies as soon as he plunges a knife into his heart.
