Chapter 8
Disclaimer: not mine
FYI: sequel to A Hero's Memorial
~At the police station~ "Morning sir," Reese said to Commissioner Ayers.
The Commissioner just nodded before disappearing down another hallway. Reese shook his head and walked down the hallway to the labs, "hey Rachael did you find out who our perp is?"
Rachael shook her head, "no, there.there was a problem with the equipment, and now the evidence is gone."
Reese could tell she was lying but played along with her lie, "was it a break in?"
Rachael nodded nervously, "I think so.it's gone."
"The Commissioner isn't going to like this turn of events," Reese said hoping she would save him the trouble of spying and just tell him what was going on.
"He.he already knows," Rachael said quickly before looking away, she was a terrible liar and she knew it, "he went to call Jackson for help with the questioning."
Reese nodded slowly giving her a weird look and said; "alright I'll see you later." Then he left, and went straight outside to call Helena, there was something up at the police station.
~At the Clocktower~ "Reese just called," Helena said, "apparently his friend Rachael who works in the lab is lying about the evidence they found. She's claiming that someone broke in and that they took the evidence, and tampered with the equipment before hand."
"How does he know she's lying?" Bruce asked.
"I've met her," Dinah said, "she's a really bad liar, I mean I thought Gabby was bad at lying, but Rachael is sooooo much worse."
Helena nodded, "Reese is going to work on finding out, he thinks that Commissioner Ayers knows something that everyone else doesn't."
"Why does he think that?" Dinah asked.
"Just a hunch," Helena said shrugging, "apparently he's been acting weird."
"I think Reese may be right," Bruce said, "Dinah do you have the Delphi working yet?"
Dinah gave Bruce a look, "I've had it running for hours.am I finally getting an assignment?"
"Check what's on the Delphi about a criminal that called himself Corral," Bruce instructed.
Dinah began typing on the computer as Bruce started pacing nervously and Helena watched over her shoulder.
"Corral:
Real Name: Corey Ayers
Other Aliases: N/A
Wanted for: murder of a U.S. Marshall, several bank robberies in Tucson and car theft
Affiliated with: The Joker." Dinah recited off.
"Wait, Corral works for the Joker," Helena said.
"He did," Bruce said sitting next to Dinah and reading the screen, "but he was double-crossed. According to what Barbara has on him, the Joker apparently left him wounded at the scene of the crime where he killed the U.S. Marshall. Corral was only 17 then but he was tried as an adult and apparently was nearly stabbed to death in prison. One knife hit his spinal cord and he was confined to a wheelchair, similar to Barbara's."
"Apparently the Joker has a thing for putting people in wheelchairs," Helena said raising an eyebrow.
"Hey, he's got a son," Dinah said in surprise, "Curly Ayers.Gibson's new bartender."
A gunshot was heard and suddenly everything went dark.someone was in the Clocktower.
