Chapter 3
At the corner of Fifth Street and Main, another grinning cadaver attracted
the Police and Gotham's winged vigalante. Protruding from the victim's
pocket was a five of spades.
"The tests came back positive," Batman told Gordon, staring at the corpse and
the playing card, "Joker's our man."
"I had no doubt," Gordon replied, "The trick is catching him."
Batman stooped over and grabbed the card from the body's pocket. "I've
got it," he said.
"What?"
"A 7-11 and a seven of hearts. The Sixth Street Barber Shop and a six
of clubs. Fifth Street and a five of spades. He's counting down."
"What's he counting down TO?"
"I don't know. And I hope we won't have to find out. Start looking for
a store or a club or something that has to do with a four!"
And with that he was gone.
