Staying well behind, Murdock trailed the other helicopter until it set down at an isolated ranch on the edge of the bleak Mojave Desert. Hannibal ordered the ship down to escape detection. They called in B.A. and Face in the van and in about two hours they were lying in a dusty gulley, armed to the teeth, watching the weathered ranch house.
"What's the plan Hannibal?" B.A. asked gruffly, "We go chargin' in or what?"
"Guile, Sergeant, guile. Face, you got something on you to sell, Something you can go up to the house about?"
"Nope. So I'll sell sizzle not steak. B.A., the keys to the van please."
"You be careful with that van, Face," B.A. frowned. Face nodded earnestly. They all knew the big burly ex-sergeant hated anything happening to his precious van.
Twenty minutes later they saw the van come into the deserted-seeming ranch, trailing dust.
"Get ready to move in," Hannibal said. B.A. checked the load in his machine gun.

The con begins on page 47.

Almost didn't make it. I got caught up in playing Lego Star Wars on my Gamecube.
Now is it just me or didn't Hannibal knock B.A. out a few pages back so that they could get him into the helicopter? How can he and Face roll up in the van a couple hours later if they ditched the van in favor of bringing along their "hulking black?"
I see the Danger Maze beginning to crumble.
