[Due to the “Neo-nutcase” foiling Zion’s last attempt at digging up dirt on the Cypherites, Anome announces Zion will have to try something else. Picking up a tip off the police wire, Zion learns that recently a guy reported Cryptos’ little “Jack-in-the-Boxes” as being stolen from his warehouse. The warehouse owner claimed Cryptos had rented the storage space for them, and then one day they were just gone. Nobody saw anyone take them out, and Cryptos himself never got back to the owner. The police simply laughed the warehouse owner off, however Commander Lock decides it’s worth checking out.
