"Hey Boss," the rough voice in the corridor stopped me in my tracks and I quickly hid behind the curtains to hide from the newcomer.

My heart sank. It was him. The Pistol had the drop on me. I froze and waited for him to commit to action. The
taste of fear, sharp and metallic, pervaded my mouth.

Luck was on my side again, because his hired assassin, after giving details of the bookstores they had just trashed, took him to check out the scene of the crime, with me on their tail.

They led me to an abandoned Barnes and Noble store, I always wondered what happened to them.

The smell of rotting paper, dissolved by the chemical used in the water guns the pistol gang used filled my lungs, made me cough and splutter, making the men sharply turn and gun me with water bullets designed to harm me as I was a government official - the war had begun!

We would have to change plans because the war was to be fought with chemicals, rather than fire.

The chemical manufacturers loved it, as they would now get fat government contracts for the manufacture of weapons.

Everyone, from Monsanto to Granola, knew what was at stake. Any company that had inventories of "chemicals"
laying around, could dump them into the weapons systems the Government deemed most efficient to fight the war.

The pistol was on the phone now, applauding his team for the destruction well done, and made a move to the next venue where, tipped off by my informer, my team was already in place, waiting to arrest them.

But unfortunately, The Pistol escaped as we moved in for the kill and from intelligence sources we learned he went to Africa where he was developing a mutant army of giant termites to complete his dastardly plan to destroy all paper.

I immediately took action, beginning with a call to my best friend doctor Bruce Banner, also known as THE HULK and currently working in an African village, to meet me in the rainforest with his botanist girlfriend so we could develop a scheme to foil the pistols plan.

I figured if anyone could stop the pistol, the HULK could. If necessary, we could call my old comrade Doc Savage and his crew to help out.

THE HULK and his botanist girlfriend Sage Bloom, greeted us at the front door of their cafe/bookstore, The Green Tome, looking like retired school teachers, rather than the Baddest Bad Since Shaft they really were.

The years in the rainforest had taken their toll on the couple but I was sure that their skills had become even more lethal than before, something we required; it's important to mention that I had the hots for Sage bloom back in college, and to me she would never be old or retired.

Sage and HULK rode with us to a giant staging area several hundred feet below the floor of the Rainforest. The music
in the elevator? Shaft, of course, can you dig it? Working from Intel that showed photos of Giant Termites practicing
hand-to-hand combat and reciting Conversational Zulu phrases in case they were challenged by locals, S & H had
fabricated a working model of the Termite's Forward Staging Area in Libraria.
