After the previous round of the Mandarin's terrifying threats.
The United States began mobilizing its investigative resources on a massive scale, determined to find the Mandarin's whereabouts.
Once the television broadcast ended, the US Government quickly traced the signal to its source.
It then dispatched Iron Patriot to make the arrest.
After saying goodbye to Harry, Tony drove onto the highway.
Beside him was the AIM data—the very information Seven and the others had been trying to find.
Yet his mind kept turning over everything related to AIM.
What exactly are Aldrich Killian and Maya Hansen up to?
He casually picked up the report and stared at the AIM logo on it.
Then he suddenly thought of something more important and hurriedly called Rhodey.
At that moment, Rhodey had already arrived in Pakistan wearing the Iron Man Armor, at a suspected location.
But then he received Tony's call.
"Have you ever seen a woman whose body glowed orange?"
"I have, but who are you?" Rhodey asked suspiciously.
"It's me. If I remember correctly, you came looking for me the last time I disappeared. What are you doing now?"
Tony quickly identified himself.
Hearing the familiar voice and tone, as well as such private information, Rhodey broke into a bright smile.
"You know me. I'm in Pakistan visiting some old friends. Where are you?" Rhodey asked eagerly.
"AIM was responsible for renaming Iron Patriot?"
"Yes."
Tony clenched both fists, crumpled the data in his hand into a ball, and threw it away. "I suspect AIM is involved. Give me your account."
"Nothing's changed. It's still 'War Machine 86.'"
"What's the password?"
Rhodey seemed a little embarrassed. "'War Machine is the best.' The one with 'best.'"
Tony burst out laughing when he heard it. "That sounds a lot better than 'Iron Patriot.'"
