Summary: Dread and Alive #5
It's been 24 hours since Drew encountered Gryphon and his men and now things are about to heat up. The nefarious poacher and his boys have return to the Haight-Ashbury carrying a mysterious cargo disguised in a convoy of vans. Sensing something sinister about their arrival, Drew follows them from above while officers Paz and Williams do their best to give pursuit from the ground. Don't miss what follows as Drew catches up with Gryphon and his men and ultimately discovers the real reason behind his presence in the bay area.
