AddictedtoTsuzukiTatsumi: Thank for the PM! Glad to hear that you are enjoying the story! Now, on with the next chapter!
Chapter 4As soon as night had fallen and the Batman had left to protect his city, Dick went down into the Batcave. Quickly donning his Robin costume, Robin uses the Batcycle to get into the city.
Within minutes, Robin is scouring the city streets, looking for clues on the killer. Driving up and down the streets where the other boys had been taken from, Robin can find no new signs of where to look.
……………….
On the other side of the city, Batman is also searching the streets for the killer. Having no knowledge of what his partner is doing, Batman focuses his whole attention on ending the killer's reign.
After almost two hours of searching, Batman is ready to head back to the Batcave. But as he tries to decide if that is really what he wants to do, the communication system in the Batmobile goes off. Pushing a button, Batman watches as the image of Alfred Pennyworth appears on the small screen.
"Sorry to bother you, sir," says Alfred, in his stiff British accent. "We have a problem."
"What's wrong, Alfred?" asks Batman, waiting to hear what has happened now.
"Master Dick has disappeared," replies Alfred, with a shake of his head. "I can't find him anywhere in the mansion."
"Could he have gone out?" asks Batman, wondering what his ward is up to now.
"Yes, sir, I believe he did, but not in the way you might think," says Alfred. "His costume is missing."
Sighing internally, Batman takes a moment to think. "When was the last time you saw him?"
"Shortly before you left for the night, sir," answers Alfred. "The 'cycle is also gone."
"I'll track him down," replies Batman. "The Batcycle has a homing beacon."
"Very good, sir," says Alfred, nodding his head. "Please bring him back safely."
Closing off the communications, Batman nods to himself.
Dick will be safe all right. But when I am done, he won't be able to sit for a week. Damn that boy and his recklessness!
