BMC #6 THE RETURN OF SUPERFLY

BMC #6 THE RETURN OF SUPERFLY
Joey Maxwell, Manuel, and Reynaldo invade a New York City drug den in Harlem, killing three dealers. One escapes long enough to telephone his boss, Eddie Baker, but Eddie is having sex and is too intoxicated on drugs to respond. The three killers break into Eddie's apartment and murder him and his girl friend. Reformed drug dealer Youngblood Priest, who has been living in Paris, France, for the past decade, returns to New York City for Eddie's funeral. Arrested by customs officers at JFK Airport, Priest is sent to a detention center. He telephones Tom Perkins, his former lawyer, who arranges a meeting with New York City Police Department Inspector Wolinski. Perkins tells Wolinski that the statute of limitations has expired on Priest's crimes, but Wolinski informs him that there is no statute of limitations on perjury.
Wolinski introduces Priest to a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agent who offers a bargain: Priest can return to his old gang if he works as an informant. However, Priest claims his gang no longer exists. Besides, he has changed since the old days and now has a legitimate business in Paris. Inspector Wolinski turns Priest loose for a week to think it over. Meanwhile, Tom Perkins informs local crime boss Hector Estrada that Priest is being "squeezed" by the "Feds," and Estrada tells Joey Maxwell to get rid of the problem. Youngblood Priest goes to the penthouse apartment of his old friend, Armando, and finds a beautiful woman, Irene, taking a shower. She explains that Armando gave her a key, and that Armando's Chevrolet Corvette is in the basement if Priest needs a car. Priest visits the home of Nate Cabot, one of his old drug partners. Nate laments that most of their friends are dead or in prison, but Joey Maxwell, one of Priest's former employees, has become the henchman for drug kingpin Hector Estrada. Nate and his wife make crack cocaine in their kitchen for Estrada's operation. Priest tells Nate he has money to spend and wants to meet Maxwell or Estrada. Nate promises to check around, but tells Priest not to trust him with the task. Returning to Tom Perkins's office, Priest meets another of the lawyer's clients, a club owner named Francine. Perkins reminds Priest that the DEA is still waiting to hear whether he is going to cooperate.
