Chapter 3
Two days later...
On the interstate leading
toward the Rocky Mountains...
"I can't believe you talked me into this,"
muttered Reese in disbelief in the passagener
seat of the red, sixties Mustang.
"Well, Tennessee was a good idea Reese,"
Helena told him, "But, I figured my...er...
the people who are trying to find me would
immediately discover your connection with me,
so I just had to give that nice Smokey Mountain
vacation to those newlyweds..."
"In exchanged for their Mustang,"
he finished despairingly, "I could have
you arrested for that."
"But you won't," she smugly conveyed
to him, "Admit it! You thought it was cute
the way that they jumped for the chance to
go on a honeymoon, particularly since they
were broke as well as the fact that they
just elope."
Reese just rolled his eyes as he
remembered the way that Helena particularly
dragged him down the block from his
apartment toward couple, offered them the
trip in exchanged for the car plus the fact
she and him would be the witnesses at their
sudden prenuptials. Sighing with weariness,
he said to her, "Just don't do anything
like that again!"
"Reese!" she protested,
"Don't spoil my fun! Besides you
just ruined the mental picture,
I just had!"
"And what picture was that?"
he asked sarcastically.
"Oh...just a couple of people
who are probably just now going batty!"
she replied with a Cheshire cat smile.
****************************************************
Meanwhile in the Smokey Mountains...
In a room at the Sweetheart Motel…
"Yeee!!" shrieked a female voice into the night air.
"What in h#$% are you doing in here? Get out!
This is supposed to be our honeymoon!" yelled a male voice.
"Sorry!" shouted a red-faced Dick Grayson and Tim
Drake as they rushed out of the hotel room that they just
barged into. "We thought you were someone else!" Dick
told them in a rush as the door slammed loudly in his face.
"Well, I see you haven't lost you're touch for
delicate situations, bird-boy," spoke a familiar
feminine voice behind them.
"Barbara!" chuckled Dick nervously as he
turned toward her and Alfred, "Alfred! What are
you two doing here?"
Alfred and Barbara just gave him the bat version
of 'are you just being stupid on purpose' look, while
Tim gave the most obvious answer, "They're here looking
for Helena and Detective Reese the same as we are bro,
but it appears sister dear decided to put us on a wild
goose chase."
"A trait, I fear that she inherited from her
mother, young masters," commented Alfred, "She has
most definitely made us loose her trail..."
"And drove us batty at the same time,"
finished Barbara, "Just like Selina."
"So where on Earth can she be?"
questioned Dick out loud.
********************************************
A few hours later near sunset...
Helena sighed with relief as she drove up in the
drive way of a secluded wooden cabin, "Finally! We're
here!" she shouted with excitement.
"Helena," questioned her companion, "Are you sure
you're godfather is all right with me here?"
"Of course he is!" protested Helena as
the door to the cabin opened.
"Helena!" yelled a male voice joyfully.
"Uncle Eddie!" she screamed out in excitement
as she ran up to him and embrace him in a too hug.
Reese just smiled slightly at the joyful reunion,
as he went to get the luggage at the back of the car,
he could not help put wonder why and how an ex-career
criminal known to the world as the Riddler became Helena's
godfather.
