AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry it's taking me so long on this story. I've got a lot going on at home and work. Here's some more! Hope it's worth the wait!
Chapter 16
Turning off the television, Gordan sighs with anger, disgust, and frustration.
"Was that the video for the second attack?" growls a voice from behind Gordan.
Jumping, Gordan looks over his shoulder at Batman.
"Yeah and it makes me sick," says Gordan, as he walks over to his desk and sits in his chair.
"The perp corners the boy in the bathroom and when the kid tries to fight back, the guy knocks him out. Then he looks around and, for a moment, he looks right at the camera. I think he wanted us to know that he knows the camera was there," explains Gordan, glancing up at Batman.
Nodding his head, Batman stares down at the commissioner. "This has nothing to do with the boy. It has to do with Wayne. He wants Wayne to know what he did. The child is merely a tool," says the Caped Crusader.
"He undressed Grayson from the waist down. Touched him intimately and then he…" starts Gordan, but has to pause before continuing, "…he puts his mouth on the boy's..."
"I get the picture," says Batman, waving his hand to stop the man from continuing.
"It looks like he was going to continue, but he stops and looks toward the door. There's no sound with the video, so my guess is, he heard something and it spooked him," finished Gordan, grateful that he didn't have to finish explaining what was done to the boy. "The video did gives us two important things, since the perp wasn't wearing any gloves. We got prints from the toilet stall and we know he's Caucasian."
"I thought you couldn't find anything on the DNA that you collected from the first attack," replies Batman.
"Nothing, but at least we'll have more evidence when we catch this guy," says Gordan, before shaking his head. "This whole case makes me sick, Batman, and not just because I have a little girl not much older than Grayson. No child should be going through what is happening to this boy. Sometimes I wonder if I am getting too old for this job. Cases like this make me wonder."
"I know what you mean, Jim," replies Batman.
Raising his head to look at the protector of Gotham, all Gordan sees is Batman's cape as the Dark Knight leaps out of the window.
