"So, watch ya wanna do?" woo questioned slouching in my beanbag chair while playing paddle ball.

"I don't know. The stakeout was the only thing I planned in my agenda." I answered back, lying on my bed.

"How'd you know Penguin was going to be at the old wearhouse anyway?"

"A little hunch." I answered with a small grin.

"Ah classified." Woo said. She knew I got the info somewhere else. She probably thought I got it from gossip around school. That wasn't the case I had. I got my info from the Bat Cave.

(The Batcave!? You exclaim with a curious tone. And I have to nod my head. Yes, the Batcave. The one Batman hangs out all the time. How'd I find it? Don't worry I'll tell yah.) I remembered that I was about 12 years old, and Alfred went to the store. Being a 12 year old with a short attention span, I was bored out of my mind. So I started wandering around my house. Well to be honest it's more like a mansion. Needless to say, it was big enough for me to explore. After more than a half hour I was finished my self tour finding nothing. In the living room, I leaned on an old grandfather clock; when it slid up and I fell. Instead of a wall being there, it was stairs leading down. Curiosity pushed me to go inside and I found the Bat Cave. Either my adopted dad was Batman or Alfred was. (And I knew the chances of it being Alfred were slim to none.) At the moment I found the cave my head buzzed with questions:

Is batman my Dad, is my Dad helping Batman, is Alfred Batman, would that explain why Dad is never home? I quickly ran back up to the first floor and closed the grandfather clock behind me.

"Artimis I'm home!" Alfred called. I remembered running to the couch and lying down like I was asleep.

"Artimis!" He called again, and then shortly after, went to where I was. I felt his eyes on me but I kept still, acting like I was asleep. He draped a blanket over me, and walked to the kitchen to put his groceries away. After that day every time Alfred went out to the store I put on a pair of gloves (so my finger prints wouldn't show, duh!) and I checked out Batman's computer and gadgets making sure I put everything I lifted back in its exact place. I realized that if I didn't want to get caught I needed to know where Batman would be. I took one of his trackers and put a magnet on it. I then placed the tracker where the batcar would drive in, so the magnet would stick to the bottom. I downloaded the tracker into my laptop so I would know exactly where the batcar would be. I figured I was the only one in the Bat Cave and Batman didn't know about it.

"Want to watch some T.V?" I questioned to Woo.

"Sure… Oh Girl, I forgot to tell you, I can't sleep over tonight."

"Why not?" I questioned. Woo forgot to mention that small detail when she came over.

" Because I need to be home by 10." Woo answered.

" Why didn't you tell me? Its 9:54!" I exclaimed once checking the clock.

" Well…" Woo said taking in a deep breath. "When you said we were gonna stake out the old warehouse, my initial thought was, we're gonna die, so I forgot about it." she explained in a hurried voice. I could see Woo thinking that. I gave a sigh, and said,

"Fine. I'll ask Alfred to take you home."

"Thanks" replied Woo. We walked down the stairs and Alfred took Woo to the car. I waved from the door and as soon as Alfred's car was out of sight I ran to my room to check the tracker on my laptop. Batman was at the nightclub on 43rd avenue, and Alfred wouldn't be home until about 15 minutes, which gave me, about 10 minutes to check out the bat cave. I checked the databases and to my surprise the place Woo and I staked out blew up.

Ugh if only we had more time! I screamed in my head. Then an idea came into my mind. The place blew up at 9:43; there was no place Thorne or any of his cronies could have gone to in that short amount of time, because Woo and I left the place at 9:30. The only nearby place was an apartment building. As I logged off and dashed back up to my room, I decided I would check out the apartment building tonight.
