Revenge of the Grey Ghost
If you were to catch Detective Harvey Bullock in a mood that can be described as anything but bitter, it would be the day he retired. Today was not that day, or rather tonight. When you're a cop in Gotham 1am seems to be an early night's work. Bullock would often burn the midnight oil well past 3am. " Just once I'd like to see the freaks come out with the Sun", Bullock mused. He stood in the dark caverns of Crime Alley, the back of his proverbial hand. Looking across the street from the abandoned matinee he spotted the usual character's. Grifters, call girls, beggars, junkies, and a combination of the persons stated above. They didn't grab his intrest, what was happening inside the theater was where his mind was.
"It's you're call detective, remember what the DA said we've got to get our snitch out during the scuffle." The voice belonged to Officer Renee Montonya, who Bullock had taken under his wing since she was a rokee. He had her tag along during quite a few raids in the past. There was something unique about this one though. Tommy Price, one of Rupert Thorn's goons, was using the theater to hide stolen Army surplus rifles which fetched a hefty price from any two-bit hood. Price's operation was going smoothly, until the Ventriloquist offered him blood money to tip the police off to one of Thorn's dealings. After that it was only a matter of time till that Bat showed up. After the Ventriloquist was locked up in Arkham, he disclosed who he paid off in Thorn's gang under hypnosis. Soon D.A. Van Doran got hold of enough evidence to get Price as a snitch for free, now that Thorn was back on the street. The weapons raid tonight would lead a paper trail back to Thorn and would have enough evidence for countless federal and local search warrants and indictments. A perfect operation. Since when was the last time anything was perfect in Gotham ?
