| Synopsis | Meet Leo, who can plan the perfect heist... but only if he can be convinced the job is safe enough. Leo is not a shoot-first think-later guy; Leo is a professional. But to some criminals, even professionals, the right payout is worth almost any risk. So when an old friend and a crooked cop approach with a plan to seize millions of dollars in contraband from an evidence transport van, Leo must make tough choices, knowing there's nothing you can trust less in this world than a cop on the take. |

| Notes | The indicia information is located on the inside front cover, which is the title page of the story itself. The inside front cover and first page of the comic is a two-page spread of the title of the story. I've decided these two pages are components to the entire story. |
