CH 4

Batman and Robin waited that night on top of the roof of Wayne Enterprise, watching for any sign of Catwoman.

"Do you think she'll have seen the article Batman?" Robin asked

"I can only hope so Robin" he said "when I contacted the Gazette earlier and gave them the anonymous tip off about the third broach I made sure it was front page news. It was thanks to that website that we could make a perfect replica of the leopard broach and say for security purposes it was moved to Wayne Enterprise"

As he finished his sentence a van pulled up outside the building, six men got out and a thin woman appeared.

"Excellent she's here" said Batman "Tsk! Tsk! Catwoman greed was always your downfall, when I give the nod Robin we'll go down, now she's bound to be expecting us just like we are expecting her, so be careful, she may have more men on the way"



"Ok! Let's split up" said Catwoman "and be careful for heaven's sake keep an eye out for the Dynamic Duo"

As Catwoman was going through the plan with her henchman she didn't notice that two masked men had already entered the building. Batman didn't want to pounce on Catwoman too soon so they waited for the men to split up.

"Ooh" whispered Robin, "so far there's three each, that's a good figure to deal with".

"Easy Robin, on my nod ok" Batman whispered back.

After a few minutes a short shout came from a nearby room, "Boss, I've found it, it's in here"

As Catwoman went towards the voice, Batman said " Catwoman, give yourself up"

"Quickly men get them," Catwoman yelled.

As Batman's Batarang flew across the room the men reached for their guns and he knocked them from their hands. Batman threw a punch to the first man, he felt another one come from behind him; a sharp blow to the head and Batman was on the floor. Feeling a little woozy he stumbled up and gave a kick out to the nearest guy he could find.

A sweeping kick brought down the next and then he gave a quick glance over to see how his partner was holding up. Robin had one guy laying some serious punches into his face making the teenager stumble backwards. The boy tried to regain his composure and finding his fist, he slammed it into his attacker's jaw.

"Why you little punk, you're going to pay for that one" but Batman couldn't watch any longer he had his own battle to fight. He noticed that the number of men weren't decreasing, he was right Catwoman had some how contacted her reinforcements and they had joined in with the fight.

But where was Catwoman, she was nowhere to be seen. Robin stopped to catch his breath while the seventh gang member or was it eighth fell down he couldn't remember, he tasted blood in his mouth from where the last guy had split his lip.

"Son of a bitch" he said as he pressed his finger to his lip to add pressure and make the bleeding stop

There were bodies strewn all over the floor and he could see two guys were cornering Batman at once. Robin ran over to help, "Batman" he shouted, "you go look for Catwoman I'll finish off here he said as he grabbed one of the men and punched him in the stomach.

As the man doubled over in pain Robin raised his fist again and sent the man flying against the wall. As Robin finished, Batman nodded to his partner and then informed him "start cuffing the unconscious henchmen and have them ready for Commissioner Gordon, I'll check the remaining rooms for anything suspicious, will you ok be here?"

"Sure Batman, I don't think any of these are able to cause any more trouble for tonight" Robin said with a grin.

As Robin tied a few up as instructed he was just going to call the Commissioner to give him an update, he didn't notice that two of the men were beginning to stir.

He stood up and felt two hands grab his arms from behind.
