Following an increase in cocaine traffic, Moon Knight breaks up a drug deal beneath a Manhattan bridge. He tells the two men he's only interested in "the big boy." One of them, named Creed, attacks Moon Knight with surprising strength and then flees. Moon Knight knocks the other into the river and calls Frenchie to pick him up, dismissing the two crooks as "strictly small fry."

Back at Grant's mansion, Moon Knight changes to Steven Grant. A woman arrives, looking for Marc Spector. Grant (who is also Spector) learns her name is Isabelle Kristel and summons Frenchie—she is Frenchie's true love. She leaves a package with him for safekeeping. In ten days she will return for it and for him.

After she leaves, Frenchie tells Marlene what happened. Long ago he and Kristel had an affair in France, but the strength of their passion frightened Kristel. She left him to find herself and to forget. Frenchie also tried to forget by becoming a mercenary. They met once more, in Africa, where she was working for "an agency of the French government" and aiding a rebellion.

Six days later they learn that Kristel has been murdered. Frenchie opens the package, which contains $250,000 in cash. The box is from Ritter's in New Orleans.
