Nightwing Part 2
Nightwing was searching around the former cell of Mr. Freeze as Frank Boles searched the outside. Nightwing stood up from his crouched position and exited the cell shaking his head.
"There's no sign of a break in." Nightwing said, looking at Boles.
"The cell door is completely fine and all walls are intact. I don't possibly see how he got away." Boles said.
"It's like it was just opened for him and he walked out. There was no struggle, no break out or in, nothing." Nightwing said, as he walked towards the exit of that wing.
"The guard at the control desk said he was knocked out. Maybe someone snuck in and grabbed the keys." Boles told Nightwing.
"I'll talk to him." Nightwing said, heading towards the center of the Asylum.
"I'm gonna stay here, see if I can find anything else." Boles told him. Nightwing nodded and continued walking until he reached the control room. A guard sat in there and was answering questions from police officers when Nightwing walked into the middle of it.
"All I remember is I was watching the camera feed, and bang, everything went dark. I wake up to sirens and police questioning me." the guard told them.
"Do you have the security tapes?" Nightwing asked, intervening in the investigation.
"Uh, yeah, right here." the guard saiding, sitting forward and handing over the tapes. "You can play it here if you want."
Nightwing decided to pop the disc in and press play.
On the screen appeared what the guard had explained. In the control room the guard was knocked out from behind by a man. The man then quickly left the control room and appeared on the lower level of the security feed. He proceeded to unlock Freeze's door and watch as Freeze walked out.
"Stop the video." Nightwing said. The guard immediately hit pause and seemed confused.
"Can we zoom in?' Nightwing asked.
"Uh, sure." the guard said. The guard zoomed in the video and the man's face was more visible now.
"Son of a bitch…" Nightwing said. He ran back down to Freeze's cell to talk to Boles.
When Nightwing arrived there, Boles was gone and there was a police hat lying in the corner of the cell. Nightwing walked in and picked up the hat.
"What the hell?" Nightwing asked. Just then the cell door closed on him and he turned around to see Boles standing there grinning evilly. Boles snatched the hat back quickly and placed it on his head.
"You know, you're the sidekick of the world's so called greatest detective, and you were dumb enough to walk into a prison cell." Boles said.
"Why did you do it?" Nightwing asked.
"Money. Why else? I was promised power, kid." Boles said as he began to walk out of the wing.
"I'm not his sidekick.!" Nightwing yelled out to him as he began to get away. Nightwing quickly grabbed the explosive gel off of his utility belt and placed it on the lock of the cell door. He took a step back and blew it up, and the door flew into the wall. Nightwing sprinted out of the cell and out of Arkham as police looked him with confused expressions.
"Cash!" Nightwing yelled. "Where did Boles go?!" Nightwing yelled to him.
"He just got in his-" Cash began to say. Before he finished his sentence a police cruiser drove by and sped away from Arkham. "-cruiser." Cash finished saying, as he watched Boles escape the area.
"Get all police to track him down." Nightwing ordered. He got onto his motorcycle and quickly drove off, trying to catch up with the corrupt cop.
