WITNESS
CHAPTER 4
AN: Batman nor Bruce know that Powers is Blight. I also give my sister Ceal some credit for she gave me some of these ideas.
Ally went up with Powers to his office which was on the top floor. The elevator ride was dead quite, until Mr. Powers spoke up. "So you're dad used to work for me, right?" he asked her staring down at her. Ally looked up at Powers white face. "Yes," she said.
They got to the top floor. Ally and Powers stepped into the office. As soon as Ally saw how high up they were by looking out the window, she was careful not to get too close.
"Please, Miss Parker, take a seat," he said motioning with his hand to a chair. Ally glared at the chair before she sat her rear end down.
"So, what brings you to my presence today?" he asked her while folding his hands and looking at her with his eyes. "Uh, I was just wondering what my father was working on that caused him to get killed," said Ally while twitching her fingers nervously in her lap.
Mr. Powers leaned back in his big black chair. "What makes you think it was his work that caused him to be murdered?" asked Powers. "I don't," said Ally. "False presumptions," said Powers.
"I was wondering if you had any job openings," said Ally. I have no income. I have to get a job to pay for groceries, my soon to be insurance, and bills, thought Ally.
"I'm sorry. There are no openings. All I can offer you are my condolences," said Powers. Ally sighed as she looked down at the floor.
"Please give your father my farewells. I can't attend the funeral. Is it open casket or closed?" he asked her. "It's closed," said Ally.
"I hope you will be okay at the funeral," said Powers. Ally kept her stair on the carpeted floor. "But sooner or later they'll find the body," said Powers.
Ally shoot her head up. "What did you just say?" she asked him. "I said I hope they'll find the body," said Powers. Ally froze in her seat and started to shake. That information was never released. How could he have known? Was he there when the body was taken? There's no way! That is unless-
Then it clicked in Ally's mind. What if Powers WAS Blight? Ally shot straight up that the chair went flying. "I've just remembered that I have a job interview. I've got to go. Nice to meet you Mr. Powers," said Ally as she went over to the elevator and clicked the down button.
Ally waited anxiously for the elevator to come. She sensed Mr. Powers sneak up behind her. She felt his breath on her neck. Then she felt his hand grab her by the neck.
Ally didn't struggle but stood stalk still. I hope the video cameras catch this, thought Ally as she looked around the room for the cameras, but there were none.
"There's no cameras in my office," said Powers as if he was reading her mind. "Now, If I were you kid, I'd be VERY careful. Little girls shouldn't go snooping around places where their not supposed to," said Powers in a whisper in her ear.
Ally had shivers all down her back. The elevator dinged and opened. Powers shoved Ally in the elevator and glared at her until the doors closed shut.
Powers shrugged and sat back down in his chair and dialed a number on the phone. The phone clicked on the other line to signal someone had picked up. "Do you have the body?" asked Powers to the man on the other line. "I'm looking at it as we speak. What should I do now?" asked the man.
"Freeze it to keep it fresh. And have one of your men get ready. We have someone that shouldn't be snooping around. I'll give you the information. I want him to kill her," said Powers staring at the elevator.
Batman had heard everything from his fingertip microphones. He took off from the top floor into the daylight to find Ally and keep her safe.
Ally was panting hard going to the lobby in the elevator. What am I going to do? If I try to find the body I might be killed. Batman was right. I'm in over my head, she said in her mind. The elevator doors opened and Ally went straight home.
In another part of Gotham, a long red haired teenager that looked to be in his early 30s was loading a handgun. He was short, he wore all black street clothes, and had his long red hair up high in a ponytail.
A taller, skinny, blondish man who was dressed in a business suit approached him. "Remember, kill her and don't leave until you do," he said.
The shorter red head looked at him with his eyes in slits. His piercing red eyes looked like he was possessed by the devil himself. "Here's the information about her," said the taller man. He led out a picture of Ally. Next to the picture was her age, where she lived, and had everything about here on the paper.
The red head looked at him. "She's very cute," he said. "Kenneth, just do your job," said the man. "This should be fun Tom," said Kenneth as he got into his black mustang and sped off down the street.
The blondish man known as Tom smiled. "Kill her good," he said as he went back into the warehouse that was the hideout.
