GCPD HQ...
Harvey was in his office flirting with a very attractive woman who also worked on the force. Jim walks in to see them giggling and Harvey feeling on her leg before loudly clearing his throat, interrupting the two cops.
"Chief wants us to go to the morgue, do some digging." Jim announced.
Harvey gave Jim a hard glard before finally nudging the woman to go, smacking her butt before making her way out of the office.
"Do people not knock anymore?" Harvey said as he grabbed his coat and hat from the coat rack.
Wayne Manor...
Alfred was washing the dishes while Dick was in the foryer sweeping when his phone rang. He looked at his phone and turned to see if Alfred was busy before answering.
"Hello...nothing just finishing some chores...no he's out for the night, you know, rich people stuff...yea I can still make it. See you tonight, bye."
"Going somewhere Master Dick?" Alfred asked, startling Dick as he almost dropped his phone.
"I think you've been around Bruce for too long, now you're starting to sneak up on people." Dick joked.
"Was that Ms. Gordon you were talking to?" Alfred asked, Dick pausing at his question.
"Wait, how do you know about Babs-I mean Barbara?"
"I see the way you look at her when I pick you up from school. I'm old Master Dick, not senile. You know Master Bruce will have a fit if he finds out that you're involved with the Lieutenant's daughter."
"That's why I'm hoping you won't tell him..." Dick said innocently, a begging look on his face.
Alfred looks at Dick for a moment before finally giving in to his request.
"Thanks Al!" Dick says estatically as he gave Alfred the broom and a pat on the shoulder before making his way up the stairs, Alfred watching him with a smile on his face before walking back into the kitchen.
Jim and Harvey made their way into the Forensics Department where they met up with Special Agent Green.
"Hello Jim." She said, shaking his hand.
"Harvey." Agent Green scolded.
"Samantha." Harvey returned, Jim feeling the tension between the two.
"Well," Jim said, breaking the tension before something got physical, "what information do we have?"
Agent Green nudged the two cops to follow her as she explained the situation.
"Out of the 11 bodies that were found, 5 were shot with a long range projectile."
"A gun?" Harvey asked, Agent Green ignoring him.
"The wounds are the same as the other victims from this week. All of them with either lashes or " Agent Green continued as they entered the morgue, "The bodies all showed a point of entry but no signs of an exit wound. No bullets were found inside the bodies."
"So what are we dealing with here?" Jim asked, straight to the point as Agent Green pulls out a body bag and unzips it to reveal a member of the Street Demonz.
"From the looks of the shape of the wound, it would have to be something to the affect of an arrow." Agent Green concluded.
"Great, so we're dealing with a psycho Cupid in Gotham." Harvey joked, Agent Green not paying him any attention, Jim trying not to.
"Autopsies are still going on for the body with the slash marks, but we do have a couple of reports ready if you want to check them out?"
"Yes, please." Jim says as they followed Agent Green out of the morgue.
As Harvey closes the door on his way out, a vent opens from the ceiling of the morgue and Batman drops down silently. He pulls out a body and unzips it. As he examines the body, he notices that the body only had two slash wounds.
"Computer. Run Diagnostic Scan." Batman commands.
The lenses in his cowl are connected to the cave's computer mainframe, allowing him to access any information needed on a particular case. It only takes a couple of seconds before the information he requested was complete. He uses his gauntlet to display a holographic image of the report.
"It seems that the lacerations are surgical, each strike had a job in immobilizing the victim. Whoever did this, had done it before." Batman thought, "Judging by the bodycount over the week, there seems to be more than one person involved."
"Computer. Cross-Reference the wounds with all known weaponry that could have caused them."
Another couple of seconds and the results came in on the holographic display coming from his gauntlet. He sees that the results showed an Arabic Scimitar as the killing weapon. He zips the body back up and slides it back in before sliding another body out, this time it was the woman who had died that night.
He cross-referenced the wound on her neck and the results showed that the mark came from an axe-styled weapon. He then walks over to a nearby computer, hacks into the hardrive, and copies all of GCPD's recent files to his mainframe.
Batman walks back to zip up the bodybag before hearing footsteps coming from outside of the room. Batman quickly and silently pushes the body back in as the door opens. Agent Green walks in to an empty morgue to grab a set of keys as Jim and Harvey waited outside the door. On her way out she turned out the lights and locks the door.
Batman made his way back to the batmobile, hidden in an abandoned alleyway and opens it up. He gets inside the vehicle and rushes off at great speeds back to the cave. On the way, he places the car on autopilot and pulls up the files from GCPD on a monitor built in the dashboard of the batmobile. He examines the notes and reports. Bruce couldn't help but feel that all of this was somewhat familiar.
