In this issue, Deadpool is in Al-Muzahmiya where he has encountered a few henchmen that attacked him, put him in a bag, and brought him to their leader. They think Deadpool is dead, but when they open the bag to show their leader, he attacks.

Meanwhile, princess Ophelia is upstairs crying because it is her wedding day and she is being forced to marry the leader. She isn't upset for too long though, because Deadpool busts in and says he will save her. As he is trying to get her out, they are attacked by more henchmen so they end up diving out of a window where Ilaney Brukner (the ex german army pilot we met before when Deadpool caused an avalanche to bury her house) catches them on her plane. Ophelia thinks Deadpool is taking her to her love, Jasper. However, he ends up handing her over to another.

Later, in Bolivia, Deadpool is working on his new "Deadhut" while Monty hangs out on the porch.

Next, we meet Alestaire Finchley, who is described as a broker of illegal activities. Three men approach him ready to fight and he says that he just needs his bag. Deadpool's narration warns the reader to never ever give him the bag. So of course Deadpool jumps in and kills the three men and then Alestaire Finchley give him a job. While they are talking, Deadpool senses that he is being watched again, and we see the silhouette of someone with long hair in the distance.

Later on, Ilaney is flying Deadpool somewhere when Deadpool hallucinates a lady riding a giant saber toothed rabbit flying in to attack them. Ilaney tells him to snap out of it. When he does, Deadpool is in a room talking with Doctor Bong, who tells Deadpool that he has gone insane...

Favorite line:
"Finally, we land. Illness does whatever she does to the plane. That's why I hire her to do that stuff... so I don't have to narrate about it."-Deadpool
