Chpt.22
"So where exactly do we go from here?" questioned Apollo. We were in the south side of the city and I could tell it was a dangerous neighborhood by the lack of people on the streets, and the fact that the people who were on the street were constantly watching their backs.
"Just look for a place where a gang would hide." I said in an obvious tone.
"Which is?" he questioned.
"Gosh you're hopeless." I muttered. "Like abandon buildings, night clubs, stuff like that. Where do you think they would have their base of operations? A Pizzeria?" I questioned a bit annoyed. I'm sure Woo and Shannon have been crime fighting less than Apollo and they still could out do him. I looked to see where the two figures were. They were sitting on the ledge of a near by building. Once Shadow noticed me looking at her, she made eye contact with me, then pointed to the right at a taller building.
"What are you looking at?" Apollo questioned.
"Nothing." I said a bit to sharply then I wanted to. I quickly added, "Let's head in this direction." he nodded his head, then followed me towards the building that Shannon pointed to. Once there I noticed the building was an old metal works. I looked at it, then at Shadow, who nodded her head. This was the place.
"in hear." I whispered. Apollo looked at the metal works sign.
"Why can't the buildings that might have a lethal killer in it be someplace peaceful, like an ice cream factory?" Apollo whined. This made me chuckle.
"Don't even Joke. When Dad and I fought the Joker we were in an ice cream factory." I informed.
"It was Joker. Take something peaceful and he turns into lord only knows what." Apollo debated.
"Just stay focused." I sighed. We slithered into the building silently and we saw that the place was filled with men, and women. Some people had orange jumpsuits stating Gotham prison, or Arkham insane asylum for the criminally insane. Luis was low on members, so he was recruiting them. We silently walked through the building to get a closer look. Suddenly I heard a loud bang come from behind me where Apollo was.
Great. Now Apollo just gave away our position. but when I turned around, Apollo was out cold and behind him was Carlo with a metal pole!
"We got intruders!" He shouted. Our location was quickly surrounded, but to our rescue was Shadow and Midnight. All three of us kicked butt, but the members of delinquents were too many. We needed to retreat. Shadow seemed to read my mind and yelled,
"Climb up this!" she pulled down a latter leading up to a higher level. She zoomed up the latter, and I was about to follow, when I remembered stupid Apollo. Woo notice my reaction and came to help me.
"Don't worry, I got him. Go!" I shouted. But before I could see the outcome, I was knocked out cold.
