Chapter 8

Worry and fear riding him, Batman knows that the longer it takes him to find Robin, the slimmer the chance of finding him safe. Not able to think of any way to track Robin personally, since Robin doesn't wear a tracking devise on his body, Batman decides to speak with Commissioner Gordan.

Slipping into Gordan's office by window, Batman stands behind his friend for a couple of second before he reveals his presence.

"Gordan."

"Jesus," shouts Gordan, jumping in his seat. "You can give a man a heart attack doing things like that."

"Is there any information about the child murder cases that you have not told me?" questions Batman, hoping to hear something that might help him.

"Some details, yes," replies Gordan, nodding his head.

"What?" demands Batman.

"All of the boys were beaten to death by what appears to be a whip of some sorts," replies Gordan. "Though they were other injuries found."

"Anything else?"

"Batman, is something wrong?" asks Gordan, not answering Batman's question.

"I just wanted to know what other information there was," replies Batman, unwilling to let the older man know that Robin has disappeared.

Nodding his head, Gordan opens the file that is lying on his desk. Glancing through the information, Gordan looks up at Batman.

"The killer has a particular type," says Gordan. "As I mentioned earlier, all young adolescent boys. All the boys were white, with dark hair."

"Dark haired?" asks Batman, remembering the boy he questioned earlier. The same boy that men had tried to kidnap, a kidnapping that Robin had stopped. The boy fits the description of the type victim. Then again, so does Robin.

"Now you can see why I didn't want Robin involved," says Gordan, shaking his head. "I know he's trained and all, but he still fits the victim profile."

Nodding his head, Batman has a sudden realization. The men who took Robin work for the child killer!
