Tenth Hour
By Marcus L. Rowland

"So your friends checked..."
"To make sure you weren't a vampire or a demon."

"They? You aren't part of it?"
"I help out sometimes, if they need my talents."
"Which are..?"
"You don't like the music?"
"That all?"
"I smell vampires."
"Useful."
"That was an observation, not my resume." He hands Batman a steel mechanism with a wrist strap. "Wear this under your sleeve, company's coming."
