Bruce sat down in his chair in the office. Dick was absolutely right. If they couldn't take Tim away from his neglectful parents then the least they could do was take care of him when they were gone. Bruce pulled out his cell phone and looked up Jack Drake in the caller ID's. He had done business with Jack before, and had always considered him to be rather unctuous and distasteful. Janet was no different. Bruce found Jack in his contacts, and breathing deeply, pressed call.

Riiiiiiiiinggggg, riiiiiiiiingggg, riiiiiiiiingggg,

"Ello? Drake speaking." Bruce took a deep breath.

"Jack? Its Bruce, Bruce Wayne."

"Brucie! Long time no see! What can I do for ya?" Bruce steeled himself. This was the tricky part, to convince Jack Drake to let them care for Timmy without insulting him, or insinuating that Tim had sought them out. Bruce griped the arm of his chair.

"Well, my boy Jason and your boy Tim have been getting along swimmingly in the past couple of weeks. I noticed that you've been paying someone to care for Timothy, but that really isn't necessary."

"Oh?" Jack Drake asked cooly, "And why is that?" Bruce's knuckles turned white.

"The boys and I thought it would be easier all around, if Timmy came and lived with us while you and Janet are out on…business. Timmy is a great influence on Jason, and there's plenty of rooms at the manor." Bruce could practically hear Drake's gears turning. They could leave their son alone without guilt or judgment and not pay a dime. It was a deal he couldn't say no to.

"Well I can't say no to that!" jack Drake replyed. No, you couldn't, could you? Batman thought angrily. " Veins emerged on the hands that broke bones every night as they clutched the arm of the chair.

"Well, got to run Brucie! Tell Timbo that we're flying strait to Dublin and not to wait for us." Bruce felt the chair arm crack slightly under his grip.

"Oh I will. Talk to you later Jack."
