'I've got tonight's Police reports,' Steph said and Cass looked up from her terminal.

'Anything of interest?' she asked as Steph flicked through the files.

'Hold on...car-jacking...breaking and entering...assault...wait a minute...'

'What...?'

'We've got a sudden death in a nightclub. The Police suspect a drug overdose...'

'That's not so unusual...'

'...no. But, there have been fourteen other overdoses over the last three months, all from the same drug...'

'So...?'

'So, this drug has been on the streets for over a year and there haven't been any deaths until now. You don't think this is something we should investigate...?'

'...very well...' Cass said standing up and putting on her mask. 'Let's go...'

'There he is,' Spoiler said, lowering her binoculars as the dark red car pulled up outside the Police station and a brown-haired man in a leather jacket, a white shirt and grey pants got out.

'We are not to have any contact with the GCPD...' Cass started and Spoiler turned towards her.

'He was the investigating officer. We need to speak to him...'

'...alright,' Cass said. Together, they jumped off the roof, using their jump lines to land quietly behind him.

'Detective Mann,' Spoiler said and he whirled around, his hand reaching under his jacket, taking a step back when he saw them.

'What do you want?' He said, his eyes narrowing and Black Bat stepped forward.

'We want to know about the overdose that you just attended...'

'I'm not going to discuss a ongoing police investigation with civilians,' Mann said.

'We can help you...' Spoiler began, but her cut her off.

'GCPD does not co-operate with costumed vigilantes,' Mann said, drawing his pistol and levelling it at them. 'You're under arrest...argh...' He grunted as Black Bat's batarang struck his wrist, the pistol clattering away. When he looked up, the alley was empty. He stood still for a moment before recovering his pistol and heading inside, glancing back over his shoulder...

'Okay,' Spoiler said as they landed on the rooftop a few streets away. 'That didn't work...'

'We knew that they would not co-operate with us...' Black Bat said and Spoiler bit back the sharp comment that was on the tip of her tongue.

'...alright. What do you think we should do now...?'

'If the GCPD will not give us any information, then we will need to find someone that will...'

'Who?'

'I have an idea...'

'Here are those files you wanted, Ms Reese.'

'Thank you, Sara. What's the time?'

'Nearly 11:00...'

'Alright. You might as well get yourself off home...'

'Thank you, Ms Reese. You have that appointment with the accounts department at 9:00 tomorrow...'

'Thank you, Sara. Good night...'

'Good night, Ms Reese,' Sara said, grabbing her coat as she made her way towards the office door. She watched her go before heading towards the door to her penthouse where a man in a dark suit was waiting.

'Evening, Samuel...'

'Good evening, Ms Reese...'

'Is everything alright...'

'Yes, Ms Reese...'

'Thank you, Samuel. How's your little boy?'

'Fine, thank you, Ms Reese. He'll be starting Kindergarten soon...'

'Congratulations. I'll see you in the morning...'

'Yes, Ms Reese...' He said, stepping aside and she opened the door, stepping into the penthouse and closing it behind her.

'I know you're there,' she said, turning towards the window. 'You might as well come out...'

There was silence for a moment and then Spoiler and Black Bat emerged from the shadows.

'Would you like a drink?' she asked, moving to the cabinet and pouring herself a scotch.

'No,' Spoiler said. 'We need to ask you some questions...'

'I'm not in the habit of answering questions from people who break into my apartment...'

'We want to know about a new drug that's on the streets...'

'I'm a business woman. I don't know anything about drugs...'

'You're also one of the biggest players in the local underworld...' Black Bat countered and her eyes narrowed.

'Very well. So, you've done your homework. However, I won't have anything to do with drugs. They're bad for business...'

'And why should we believe you?' Black Bat retorted and she smiled coolly, turning to pour herself another drink.

'I don't care if you believe me or not. Now, if there's nothing else, I want you to leave...'

When there was no answer, she glanced over her shoulder to find that she was alone, the curtains waving in the breeze from the open window...

'What now?' Cass asked as they landed on the rooftop and Steph grinned behind her mask.

'I've got an idea, but you're not going to like it...'
