Bad Night - Part Two
by Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, Val Staples

Iris seduces Jake for the second time. Danny firms up his plane while Jake is working on forging him FBI credentials. Danny insists that Jake take part in the job he is planning. Jake doesn’t want to but it’s that or Danny shoots him. 

Jake drives. Danny goes in with the forged FBI credentials and picks up a bag with $100K in unmarked bills from a mobster. Iris tries talking Jake into killing Danny, when he comes back. Jake says no. Iris shoots Danny, killing him. Danny shoots Jake as Iris is shooting him but Jake, unlike Danny, survives. 

Thoughts

Jake’s wife was Simon Hyde’s niece. That bit of information is dropped in the early going of this chapter, before Iris seduces him, while he is working on Frank Kafka, his comic strip. 

Good chapter. What now? Jake and Iris have $100K of money stolen from the mob. They are going to have to be on their toes constantly. Does Iris have a plan? Someone is going to come after them, possibly more than one someone.
