(italics indicate internal monologue and thoughts)<br/><br/><br/>Frank Castle walked down the hall of the apartment complex, the floor he shared with an obese but kindhearted man named Mr. Bumpo, a teenager with a face full of piercings and spiked red hair called Spacker Dave, and a very timid and shy girl named Joan. "Hey, Mr. Smith!" Dave called out, running up to Castle's side.<br/><br/>Mr. Smith is the false name Frank went by in the apartment, he almost doesn't respond until he feels the young man at his side. "Hey, Dave." Frank mumbled. Dave gave his usual correction of: "SPACKER Dave!" before showing whatever it was he wanted to show his neighbor.<br/><br/>"Check this out!" Spacker Dave proceeded to hold a magnet up to his nostril piercings and let the magnet stay there.<br/><br/>"That's...something you got there, Dave." Frank said as he entered his apartment, shutting the door behind him to a cry of "Spacker Dave!"<br/><br/>Opening the closet and flipping the lightbulb on, Frank looked over the enormous stash of assault weapons and bullet-proof armor.

"Freddie Vinzo was released earlier yesterday to his mother's custody in this small home. Vinzo served time for running a sex trafficking ring where he would kidnap young women and sell them into sexual slavery. His mother, although lack of evidence forced police to drop all charges, is suspected to have lured and transported the girls."<br/><br/>"The Punisher is suspected to be behind this, police say that Castle kicked in the kitchen door and shot Mr. Vinzo in the head, and his mother is said to have been locked inside the basement when the house was set ablaze."
