Smoke & Mirrors; After discussing the Mishi/Crimson Wasp problem in Reid Tower's gym, with Paul in full Hornet garb, he and Hayashi watch a newscast about the restaurant of an old Reid family friend burning down, and suspect arson. A check of the remains--in costume--yields no evidence of a cause, which they find suspicious; Paul visits owner Sal Corelli, recuperating from smoke inhalation in the hospital, and realizes he not only knows more than he's telling, but that he's being silent out of fear; Feeling this a dead end, the Hornet changes gears and investigates a warehouse robbery where nothing but a few canisters of "unknown" contents were taken, which leads to the discovery that THAT company's "Night Security Chief" is a man recently hired by Corelli as a bartender.
