His papa sends Pedro , Junior's brother, with him to make sure he gets the job done and done right, or to shoot and leave him. The Question interfered, knocked Pedro out, and prevented Junior from accomplishing the job, even tho he was right on the bus with a lit bundle of dynamite. The Question tied them up and left his calling card. Next we see Junior, he's laying holding beaker of liquid over his face recalling a beating from his father while he bad mouthed him. He pores the liquid which turns out to be acid over his face and wonders if it'll hurt and he'll scream like a sissy-boy. He wraps his head in bandages and ease drops on a conversation his father is having with a supplier about how his father messed up a shipment of arms that were supposed to go to South America. The supplier tells Benno where his father is and it would be easy to kill him.
