A man is shown taking some aspirin bottles, as we move on to Cloak in an alleyway needing to feed his darkness. He observes a pimp telling his hooker that she won't get the dope till she brings in money. After punching her, Cloak becomes enraged and he overtakes the pimp in darkness, until the hooker pleads with him to give Johnny back, he reluctantly frees him from his cloak of darkness. Dagger appears on the scene and lets Cloak feed on her light while the hooker complains about what they did to Johnny. Dagger walks over to her and purifies her of the dope in her body. Cloak & Dagger then retreat to local church where a wake is going on for a lady who died after taking a Tylenol tablet that was filled with cyanide. They overhear a conversation between the priest and a detective named Brigid O'Reilly. Dagger test out her power and attempts to revive the lady but to no avail she is too far gone. Cloak & Dagger then visit the detective to offer their assistance in finding this mad man and she agrees. They discuss where and who it might be, she tells them his name is Duane Hellman and he been fired from three neighborhood drugstores and his next strike might be at Ray's Pharmacy. Cloak & Dagger find him there tampering with the children's aspirin which upsets both of them. Dagger hits him hard with her light knives, Hellman gets back up and starts to fire his shotgun at Cloak, but the bullets are merely eaten up by the darkness. Cloak then engulfs Hellman in the darkness. Detective Brigid O'Reilly tries to reach out and pull Hellman back, but the cold is just too much and Cloak devours him in the darkness. Brigid O'Reilly then gives them a lecture and the story ends.
