The Best There Is

Synopsis:
Mr. X assassinates a random jogger in the street, and calls his secretary to have her find everything on his next prospective ‘client’ by next Thursday. Elsewhere, Logan is having nightmares, but doesn’t want to confide in his fellow X-Men just yet. He heads to a bar, where he notices he’s being watched. A group of soldiers attacks him, but Wolverine uses his experience and healing factor to wade through them with relative ease. Their major calls Mr. X, who is pleased that Wolverine will be a challenge to him. He decides to send his bodyguard, Blok, to see the major and has the major call two of his girls, T&A. They receive the major’s call as they are beating the crud out of a nightclub doorman. They’re happy to see even more action. Wolverine, meanwhile, finds the major and beats on him for information. As the major seems about to spill, Wolverine is grabbed by Blok, T and A. Meanwhile, a politician named John is assassinated when his car explodes.
