Chapter Five

Officer Renee Montoya was typing an arrest report. She had aided Detective Harvey Bullock in apprehending a small time crook known as 'Jazzman'. Harvey hated paperwork almost as much as he hated Batman.

"Hey, Harv," Renee began, "whaddya want to put in for charges? What're we saying he was guilty of?"

Harvey thought for a moment. "Aiding and abetting a known vigilante." He laughed. "What do you think he was guilty of?"

Renee thought reflectively. She typed. "O.K., that's about it."

Harvey cleared his throat. "So, what're you doin' tonight, Nee?" he asked.

Renee tried to sidestep the question. "Oh…probably gonna pop some corn and watch TV. I don't socialize much." Renee kept a low profile on her social life. She was the only gay woman in the GCPD as far as she knew, and she kept that information a closely guarded secret.

"O.K.," Harvey said. "See ya tamarrow."

She knew Harvey was a loner, and just wanted some human contact. She also knew he was a borderline alcoholic. "See ha, Harv."
