Synopsis:

    The Punisher, still on the trail of Isis Green, heads off to Kansas where Isis had trained to become a mercenary at Scully's Training Camp.  Under the fake name, Fred D'Amato, Frank joins the camp to infiltrate.  He meets Scully in a bar and from there, he goes through the steps to join.  Scully shows "Fred" around a little, and then takes him to the bunk.  There Frank lays out for awhile in thought.  A half hour later, he realizes he's not alone.  A female ninja emerges from the shadows, gives Frank a wink, and leaves.  He tells no one.
    Later still, Scully starts to give the lessons.  Besides a few tricks here and there, there is no real ninja training, even though Scully claims to have the blessing of the mysterious Hatsu Yakamoto, a very respected an old ninja.
    At night's end, the final lesson for the day, Scully drops off the students all over the Kansas outskirts for them to get "in touch with nature".  Frank, on the other hand, sneaks back to Scully's house, let's his dog loose, and breaks in.
    Inside, he finds little security defenses, and is able to get into the main files.  He finds Isis Green's file, but another intruder interrupts Frank's reading.  It is the female ninja from earlier.  She reveals herself to be Hatsu Yakamoto's daughter and her reason for being there is because Scully does NOT have her father's blessing as he had said.  She plans to make Scully pay for his lies, and tells Frank that they will be good allies.
    There meeting is cut short however as Wayne and Daryl, Scully's right-hand men, show up.  Frank races to the basement, and sets the house on fire.  He escapes through a basement window and runs off into the night as Scully comes back.  He runs inside the burning house and comes back out with his precious files.  He says he doesn't want the local law enforcement poking around, and that they'll deal with this problem themselves.  He calls for all the students to be rounded up in the morning for questioning and those that don't show,  they die...
