Flame is hired to be an “Executive Security Escort,” guarding a bubble-gum singing star on a tour of Japan. It should be a milk run—but of course, it isn’t. The girl’s agent is handling the tour bookings on his own rather than going through the usual channels, which means the Yakuza (Japanese mafia) are not getting their cut. It’s a full-time job that goes from the Tokyo Budokan (where the Beatles once played) to Osaka Castle, where Flame has a final confrontation with the Yakuza’s specially hired assassin... Meanwhile, Dana has accepted an assignment of her own. Recent events suggest there is a mole in the Secret Service and Dana is assigned to find out whom that might be. It doesn’t take long for her to discover the identity of the crooked agent, but in the process, she is captured and taken to the lair of a group of blond-haired assassins—the same men who Flame encountered in Africa. They try to turn her—get her to use her expertise on their behalf. When she refuses, they resort to other means to get information from her… she is waterboarded and discovers what torture really is.
