His first order of business?Bust wide open The Gangsta Boyz meth ring and arrest their Shot Caller, a shadowy figure known only as Null.Behind the disappearing children is an unholy alliance of Cardinal Cromulent of the Archdiocese of Boston and the crypto-satanic group Ordo Templi Orientis as well as Auntie Nonie Fomites, chief administrator of Bethlehem Youth Placement and Adoption Services, who's profiting from children separated from their parents at the Southern Border, paid to accept them only to sell them to Cardinal Cromulent for his special program Defensores Fidei de Puero – Defenders of the Faith of the Child.As Null and Boyd together with Agent Thrawn close in on the malefactors, Crime Boss Malek The Mallet Turbot, permanently maimed by Null in his takeover of the Boston criminal underground, has imported ace hitman Innokenty Gorets to take out Null permanently and exact his revenge.
