Chapter 2: Waiting for a clue
Around 4pm a storm had settled over Jump City, thunder and lighting crashing with ever bold a spectacular show of nature. Titan Tower had front row seat, Beast Boy and Cyborge watch in wonder (the T.V. was out) and Raven tried to meditate. Starfire passed by their main room again looked in at the other three with a sigh and walked slowly past.
" What is that, lap 10?" Beast Boy said sarcastically.
" More like 13" Raven answered
" Just 41 more hours until Robin is back," Cyborge said still gazing at the lighting.
" Or sooner, he could have left earlier then we think." Beast Boy and Cyborge looked back, it was Raven who said the last comment.
" And the sooner the better." Raven commented as a loud crash came from the training room. "I don't know how much longer the Tower can take Starfire's laps."
Thirty minutes later the crashing noises were replaced by the sound of scraping boots. Starfire now very tired had taken to hovering around the Tower with her boots dragging against the floor.
" That is it" Beast Boy said flatly and started out the door. " Robin might not have left any way of getting in touch with him on that note but maybe Robin has an address book or something with someone who just might."
" What's got him all worked up?" Cyborge asked.
" His ears are like a dogs ears." Raven answered Cyborge then released that Beast Boy ears must be picking up Starfire's dragging boots and while it's nothing for him must be agony for Beast Boy's K-9 ears.
" How do you know so much about Beast Boy's ears?" Cyborge asked Raven as they fallowed Beast Boy to Robin's room.
" That is a story for another time." Raven smirked.
Beast Boy was already searching Robin's desk when Raven and Cyborge entered. I'll ask how he got in, latter as well; I just hope it doesn't involve breaking my very expensive computer lock, Cyborge thought.
All three of them look around Robin's room but they found nothing. Sure there were plenty of books, CD's and movies but nothing that indicated any type of plans: past, present or future.
" Doesn't he have any personal stuff?" Beast Boy asked in complete bafflement.
" Even I have some family picture," Raven stated.
" Come to think of it Robin never mentions any part of his past."
" Except an occasional reference on stuff we already knew." Beast Boy looked puzzled at what Raven just said. "Batman," Cyborge filled in the gaps.
Beast Boy covered his ears and lay on Robin's bed trying to block out the sound of Starfire's boots. Raven sat next to Beast Boy and put a hand on his head.
" Can't you..." Cyborge started to say.
" No, his ears wound still pick up the sound." Raven answered.
Beast Boy rolled over and his foot clunked against something hard. There was something small and hard at the edge of Robin's bed. It took Beast Boy sometime getting to it but he did.
" It's a small notebook." Cyborge said, Beast Boy flipping through it. The notebook seemed to be bits of cases; Robin had worked on in the past.
" Nothing useful," Raven said.
" Hey, wait a minute." Beast Boy sound overjoyed and was smiling. On the last page there was a fade phone number, all ten digits legible and it was defiantly not any number in Jump City.
Raven dialed.
It rang and rang. Then an answer; "Wayne Manor. This is Alfred."
