Chapter 3: Pleasure Island
Batman was looking at the bat computer about Pinocchio, he seemed to be getting bad vibes off of him.
Robin came in to join him."so what have you found on him?"
Batman pulled up what he's found so far.
"his name is Jimany Crisket but this is thing about him. He was born fifty years ago, but, still managed to stay ten years old. Then there was the death of Sue Farris where Crisket was present at the time of her death. A few Years later he started working on the Pleasure Island project under the name Pinocchio."
"Wow? You work fast."Robin said.
"We've got to get ready,"Batman said,"I think there's more to him then just a happy go lucky Pinocchio."
They arrived at Pleasure Island there was a red ribbon in the front gate of the park. Then Pinocchio descended down from strings like a puppet making his grand entrance and was greeted with applause from a packed Gotham crowd.
"Well Hiditaly Dee! looks like you all came after all!"Pinocchio said, excitedly."we are little Jimany cricket moments away from the grand opening and then that's when all the fun begins!"
"Now if Batman and Robin could kindly cut the red ribbon."he said.
Batman came up with the giant sizers and cut the ribbon, the crowd went wild.
"Now what are waiting for?" Pinocchio said putting his hands on his hips." Go on in I only have one rule: that there are no rules and have fun! I'll catch you guys later, Ta-ta for now." He walked straight into the park, as the staff ushered them all in.
"Robin,"Batman said, gaining the attention of The Boy Wonder." Pinocchio is scheduled to make an appearance in a magic show. It starts in ten minutes we will go in and check it out."
It was time for the magic show and Pinocchio appeared front in center on stage."Oh I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret or make me frown, I've got no strings on me!" He sang," now for my first trick I'll need a volunteer from the audience."
He covered his eyes."eeny meany miny moe catch a tiger by his toe The Blue Fairy told me to pick the very best one and you are..." He pointed his finger carefully. At Robin."It."
This caught Robin by surprise. But, he walked over on the stage.
"Well, whataya know Gotham's own Robin Boy Wonder!" He announced." It's not every day you get to perform with a real hero of Gotham!"
"Now Robin,"Pinocchio instructed."how this trick is going to work."
He stacked up some boxes on top of each other then tapped on it and it opened up like a door.
"Robin will step inside this big box and I will rearrange them with him inside. So Robin will you please step into the box?"
Robin was hesitant but, stepped inside any ways. Then Pinocchio closed the door and spun the box around. Batman was a little worried for him.
Then, Pinocchio moved the middle piece. The audience was in awe.
Then put it back in.
He tapped the box again and inside the box Robin fell through a trap door, as the box opened up leaving it empty.
Robin landed below the stage he tried to scramble to his feet to get back up but, someone grabbed him from behind and threw a whit napkin over his mouth. He kicked and fought to try and get out of the man's hold on him but, soon the chloroform kicked in as he seeped slowly into unconsciousness.
Another goon came around and grabbed a hold of Robin's legs as the two picked him up and carried him through a secret corridor.
(Oh no he's got Robin tune in to see what happens next.)
