Jack wakes up to find a gangster in his apartment. It's like they're rubbing his nose in how vulnerable he is; they fight, then the gangster takes Jack to the airport and puts him on a plane to London. Someone is at the airport in London, watching Jack; that same someone is also watching when Jack checks into his hotel.
Jack meets his contact, a beautiful woman. He almost has a heart attack when he sees her. Later that evening, the job begins.
We learn a little more about the kid, Peter Hopkins.
