Epilogue for a Road Dog
Issue 19

Loop and Carlos break into Curtis' apartment. Agent Graves is waiting inside. He offers Loop the same case he offered Curtis but Loop also declines the deal. Graves tells Loop that he has arranged a funeral service for Curtis the next day. Loop says he will be there. Curtis has left Loop a baseball glove with a key inside. Loop has been searching for the $100,000 from the job that went wrong. Graves points Loop in the right direction.

Elsewhere, Lono sits in a hotel room counting money and talking to a girl who has been tied to the bed and gagged.

Loop and Carlos go to a ball game and Loop retrieves the money from the locker room. Carlos spots the notes in the bag and reveals why he is on the run. He stole $2,000,000 from a man in Miami and is now spending it. They go to Carlos' hotel. Sophie is waiting, tied to the bed, Lono lurks in the shadows.

Lono kills Carlos with a punch to the throat as he enters the room, and threatens Sophie with her life if she ever talks. Loop waits behind the door to jump Lono but is spotted easily. Lono is interested to know why Loop has a "magic gun". Lono assumes Graves has sent Loop to kill him, but is surprised to find Loop is Curtis' son. Hearing Curtis is dead he lets Loop go, having taken the money. He advises Loop to choose sides carefully.

Loop and his mother arrive at Curtis' funeral where Loop is arrested for the murder of Tommy Yi. As Loop is taken away, Detective Choisnel thanks Agent Graves for the tip off.
