Inspector
Имя этого чикагского полицейского не имеет никакого значения. А прозвище у него «Черная Кобра», скорее всего, потому, что он, во-первых, чернокожий, а во-вторых, худой и длинный, подобно кобре. И смертоносный, как она же. Преступник, решивший убежать от «Черной Кобры», не знал о тщетности своих помыслов. Он, видимо, предполагал, что случайно подвернувшаяся под руку заложница убережет его от карающей руки посланника смерти. Но «Черная Кобра» разнес голову преступника с расстояния в несколько метров. За что и поплатился: начальник «сослал» полицейского в отпуск — на Филиппины, где необходимо было оказать помощь местным властям. Причем с риском для собственной жизни «Черной Кобры», а заодно и для всех, кто попадется на его пути.
