Naked, and on the phone with her mother, Celeste, Angela manages to take down a troop of ninjas, with the help of a similarly clad Go-Go. While Angela forces the name of her attacker, Damon Devlin, out of a ninja, Celeste, powerful head of G.O.O.D., sends right-hand-man Wilbur Force with a small cyber force to look into why she abruptly hung up. Wilbur shows up too late to find Angela, who's already found the headquarters of Devlin, head of E.V.I.L. What she _is_ surprised at is that Devlin is her long-lost father, whom her mother has always kept secret from her.
