New Gotham, Night (1 week later)
Helena, Dinah, and Reese decided to split up during their search for Ventroxa, after days of searching they had figured out who had broken in the clocktower. After much evidence was found, he was linked back to several murders over the past year.
They got back together at one of Ventroxa's safe houses, where they found a check from his job at one of the law firms. Dinah realized that it was the same law firm Cole worked for, Jackson, Carter, and Kline.
Once they arrived at the law firm, they decided to ask the people working there for information on Ventroxa. Helena decided to see if Cole was around, since she hadn't talked to him all week. He seemed to not be around, and she had to admit she was getting worried about him.
Cole's Office"Cole?" asked Helena, as her, Dinah, and Reese walked into the office. Helena then realized that it wasn't Cole sitting in his chair.
"Oh, sorry, I was just looking for Cole Andrews" she said.
"It's ok, actually, so am I. I'm inspector Jean Davidson. You are?"
"Helena."
"Is that like Cher or Madonna, or do you have a last name?"
Dinah and Reese mumbled a laugh.
"Right, sorry, it's Kyle, Helena Kyle."
"How do you know him?" asked the inspector.
"You didn't answer my question"
"I know, Sorry. Look, I don't know if he's ok or not. Nobody's heard from him since Monday. So, are you his girl?"
"Yeah, I am"
Reese looked down at the ground, no doubt it still hurt to see her with someone else, even if he had to get over it.
"Did he mention anything to you about what he was doing, if he was going anywhere?"
"No, about three weeks ago he had a suitcase packed, but didn't end up going anywhere. He said his plans had changed."
"What plans?"
"I don't know, something about a big case he was working on"
"Really? I don't see how that's possible, he hasn't had a case, big or small, for the last few months. Make you wonder what he's been doing with himself, huh?"
"Yeah"
"Well if you hear from him, give me a call."
"Yeah, sure"
Helena turned to Dinah and Reese, motioning them to walk out the door. They walked outside the office.
"Well I guess he won't be able to answer any questions on Ventroxa. Why don't we check around the rest of the firm, and then get back to Barbara." Said Helena.
"Actually, why don't I ask the questions around here. Have Reese drive you over to Cole's, I know you are worried, so go figure it out. You won't do any good at fighting Ventroxa if you're this worried about Cole." Said Dinah, even though she hated telling Helena to go check on her boyfriend. " If you don't find him, then you can catch back up with me at the clocktower."
"Ok, thanks." Said Helena, turning to Reese. "Look, I can walk myself over to his apartment, you should stay with Dinah. We don't know how Ventroxa kills. He obviously wants us dead."
"Look, as much as I know you don't want me to go with you, Dinah's right. Ventroxa most likely won't strike in the middle of the public. Which means if he was going to go after anyone, it would be the one person who was alone. So, even though you don't like it, I'm going with you"
"Fine, I guess you're right."
"Did you just admit to that?"
"Don't get used to it."
