It's been almost two months since Batman took Dick from me Zucco thought as he sat on the end of his bed. Ever since Dick was saved by the Bat, Zucco has been planning to get his little pet back. "JAKE, AARON!" Zucco yelled. After a few minutes, a man with short dirty blonde hair and green eyes walked into the room. "Yes, boss?" The man said standing in the doorway. "Aaron, where is Jake?" Zucco asked annoyed. "Haven't seen him since I was assigned to kill Jason Anderson, last week" The man, Aaron, answered. "If he's helping keep my pet safe, I'm going to kill him!" Zucco yelled standing up and walking out his room heading downstairs.
Bruce, Dick, and Jake were sitting on the couch in the living room at Wayne Manor. "So, Jake what is he planning?" Bruce asked with Dick sitting on his lap and playing with Bruce's fingers. "He's planning to somehow get Dick back," Jake told him "But he won't tell me what exactly he's planning." Bruce sighed. "No, not go back!" Dick randomly yelled eating an offered piece of bread. "We won't let him take you back, Dickie," Bruce said rubbing Dick's hair. "I'm going to find out as much as I can to help keep him away from you, Dick," Jake said hugging Dick, who hugged him back.
Zucco was in the basement preparing it for he returned with his little pet. "What can I do to teach him a lesson?" He asked himself. "I know, I'll let Aaron teach him a lesson!" Aaron walked into the basement and said: "Boss, Jake is back." Zucco turned to Aaron and frowned "Did say where he was?" Zucco asked in a low voice and Aaron nodded. "He said he was arrested and interrogated by the Bat," Aaron answered backing away a little. Zucco growled and ran to upstairs to Jake. "What did you tell the Bat?" Zucco snarled pinning Jake to the wall. "I didn't tell him shit, Boss!" Jake said, "I dodged all the questions that had to do Di- the pet!" Zucco lowered him to the floor and shoved him into the wall.
This is going to be hard to help Dickie Jake thought as he walked to his room. Dick shouldn't have to be worried about coming back to this hellhole of a house! He deserves to be with Bruce. I need to get out of this hell of a house, but then Zucco would be suspicious of me. Jake eventually fell asleep.
Aaron runs up the stairs to Zucco's room and opened the door. "I found a way to get your little pet back!" Aaron announced panting a little and Zucco looked at him. "What is it?" He asked annoyed. "We can kidnap him from Mr. Wayne!" Aaron said happily and Zucco sat up on his bed. "Why didn't I think of that!" Zucco shouted flipping back on his bed. It was that simple! How could I have missed it? Zucco questioned himself. "The only question is how?" Zucco sat back up.
"I can pretend to be a news reporter asking about Dick," Aaron suggested leaning on the door frame. "How will we explain how we know about him?" Zucco pointed out and Aaron's face lit up. "That's why I'm going to tell him that I was given an anonymous tip," Aaron explained and Zucco smirked with a small nod.
A few hours later, Aaron was in character and ready to head to Wayne Manor. Aaron went to his sedan getting in and drove to Wayne Manor. The drive was about twenty-five minutes, when he arrived he knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. Aaron waited for about two minutes when the door suddenly swung open to reveal a tall, thin man with gray hair and blue-grey eyes. "What can I do for you, sir?" The man asked. "I was wondering if I could do an interview with Mr. Wayne and Richard?" Aaron asked with an innocent smile. "Master Bruce would not like an interview with the young master." The man said with a small glare. "I'm just want to ask Richard a few questions" Aaron's smile faltered a little.
The man turned away from the door a little bit. "Master Bruce, there is a reporter that would like to talk to you!" The man called. "Coming, Alfred!" Bruce called back and appeared a second later behind Alfred with a boy in his arms. "What can I do for ya?" The boy in his arms looked over at Aaron and froze tightening his grip on Bruce. "I would like to interview you and Richard," Aaron told Bruce flashing the innocent smile again. Dick started badly shaking in Bruce's arms, who rubbed circles on his back. "Sorry, but there will not be an interview," Bruce said turning around and walking away. "But Mr. Wayne, I only have a few questions!" Aaron called to Bruce. Alfred had closed the door in his face.
Aaron walked off the porch, looking for a way into the Manor and spotted an opened window located on the second floor. The window led into a room, Dick's room to be exact. Aaron climbed up and checked to make sure no one was inside the room, when he looked inside he saw Dick laying in his bed, facing the headboard, coloring. He climbed through the window running over to Dick and covered his mouth before he could scream for help. "Keep quiet or I'll hurt you!" Aaron hissed in Dick's, who quickly nodded, ear. Aaron, with his free hand, grabbed a rope from behind him tieing Dick's hands together and duck taped his mouth.
When Aaron was finished, he picked up the ebony boy, putting him over his shoulder, and climbed back out of the window. Aaron carried Dick to his car and threw him in the back seat. "You little bitch almost blew my cover!" Aaron yelled and slapped Dick across the face. "You better grateful, little bitch, that I can't hurt you." Aaron slammed the door closed and sat in the driver seat, driving back to Zucco's house.
