Darkhawk #7

"Sacrifice"

This issue begins with Darkhawk stopping a group of teenage drug dealers who are dealing drugs on the property of Midtown Highschool.  Chris Powell's friend, Headset, watches Darkhawk in action.  Darkhawk is unsure whether he should keep them tied up and give them to the police or let them go.  In the end he decides to let them go.  Darkhawk changes back into Chris Powell and he goes home to wat some lunch and then do his homework.  His brothers, Jason and Jonathan Powell, sneak up on him, tackle him, and swipe the Darkhawk Amulet.  They want Chris to pay them five dollars for them to return it.  Chris get angry.  He lunges and retrieves the amulet at the cost of hitting his head on a table.  The boys apologize and leave for school.  While straightening up, Chris notices a wall panel has come loose.  He looks behind it and discovers a secret journal of his dad's.  He read the last entry.  The entry relays a chase that Chris's dad and his partner, Larry Ratliff, were attempting.  They were pursuing two armed suspects who had robbed an all-night gas station on the Lower East Side of New York City.  They are gaining when the men hit an old lady walking home after doing some early morning grocery shopping.  They stop to help.  Mike Powell, Chris's dad, wants to continue the chase but his partner want to stay and help the poor woman.  The entry abruptly ends.  Chris is hungering to know whether his father stayed and helped the little old lady or continued the chase.  His mom, Grace Powell, calls his up, saying he is late for school.  Chris hurriedly puts back the journal and the panel and heads upstairs.  Before leaving Chris and his mom have a talk about their situation with Bazin and his men.  Chirs leaves for school.  Grace watches her son leave and seems to have a way to resolve their situation.  The scene changes and we are in one of Phillipe Bazin's secret labs.  Bazin and Dr. Marin are observing a woman...
