1983 (#27) - Nikki and Tony's wedding, Paul and Jazz's investigation, Cindy's death

Tony's return to the city has obviously affected Paul and Andy, determined to bring him to justice. The two of them, together with the young Jazz Jackson, who entered the agency having become a policeman from an young age, start spying and following the mafioso, hoping to bring to light his shady affairs and have him arrested even with new charges. Paul, however, is bewildered when, during a stakeout of the man, he sees Nikki next to him. Nikki, in fact, has now gotten into Tony's good graces and continues to seduce him to get back the promise to take the porn movie Hot Hips off the market. When Nikki notices that Tony is completely crazy about her, she convinces herself to propose to the man to become his wife; only in this way could they become an indissoluble and indestructible crime couple. Tony accepts the proposal, and is persuaded to promise to take the film off the market, certainly not wanting to show a red light film starring his wife. Andy and Paul, meanwhile, are shocked when, during a wiretap, they realize the two of them are actually getting married. Convinced that Nikki has no idea who the man is, Paul thus intends in every way to interrupt the wedding, despite Cindy's prayers to forget Tony and everything about him, fearing for his safety. Despite the threats coming and the murder attempts addressed to Paul, however, he reassures the woman he loves, saying he is now close to the final end of a nightmare. On Tony and Nikki's wedding day, celebrated in the boss's house, Paul and Andy fail in their attempt to interrupt the ceremony; their intervention is in fact late and only takes place at the end of it, when Nikki manages to convince the man to go to the warehouse to destroy all the remaining unsold copies of the film. Here, Paul, Andy and Jazz hide to film the man, without realizing that Cindy, frightened but determined to make sure nothing happens to Paul, has followed them. Everything happens in an instant: Tony catches a glimpse of a man and realizes that it's Paul; the man, who's flashy, tries to shoot but misses the target just as Tony pulls the trigger. The shot, aimed at Paul, however, hits Cindy, who in a desperate gesture of love stands between the two men, being hit by the bullet aimed at the man she loves. Jazz's intervention behind Tony's back is decisive and the man falls to the ground dead. But for Cindy, unfortunately, there is nothing to do and the woman dies in the arms of a desperate and inconsolable Paul. The race to save Cindy's life was worthless, as the ambulance turns off before she arrives at the hospital. Carl, Mary, Andy and all of them huddle around Paul, who realizes that Cindy gave her life to save the man.
