"Gordon gave it to me," Adriana told Bruce as she took out her colored contact lenses. "He thinks there's something there. At Club Core."

"I've looked into it," Bruce said and looked at the card.

"Already?" Adriana asked with surprise since Bruce had not mentioned it.

"Yes," he said. 

"And...what? There's nothing there?" she asked. 

"A few people have been sent in," Bruce said. "The place has been surveilled. The drug may be sold there and it's difficult to acquire if it is. It may be being sold selectively for some reason. Or only offered to certain people."

"Why would anyone do that? Wouldn't they just want to make money off of their drug?" Adriana asked.

"They could be doing this to create some damage to the city," Bruce said. "Intentionally. It wouldn't be the first time."

"How about I give it a try?" Adriana asked. "I could go to the club and dig around...see what I find." 

"And..you..." Bruce said, speaking like he was trying not to laugh. "Think they will sell this substance to...Mrs. Bruce Wayne."

"Look.." Adriana said and started to brush her wig which was situated on a mannequin head in front of her. "Wigs...makeup...it's a dimly lit place. No one would recognize me."

Bruce looked like he was not on board with the plan.

"Bruce...it's only a matter of time before one of these drugged college kids ends up killing again," she said. "We have to do something.  We need a sample of this drug or some information to find out where it's being manufactured or sourced from."

Finally, Bruce looked like he was considering her idea.

"It's not a terrible idea, but I don't want you to do this alone," he said, finally. "It's risky."

"So are you going to wear a wig too?" Adriana laughed. 

'No," Bruce told her.

"So, who is going with me?" she asked him.

"Take Jack with you," Bruce said.

Adriana frowned. "What?"

"Who else?" Bruce asked.

"Bruce..." Adriana said. "That's an even bigger risk I mean...we got rid of all his images for facial recognition but we still haven't gotten to the physical evidence-"

"Then make sure you two aren't approached by any cops and ensure that he doesn't get arrested," Bruce said. 

"As we go and buy drugs," Adriana said with a sigh.

"Yes," he said. "You can do it. I'll ask him tonight. I invited him over to play pool."

Adriana rolled her eyes.  "Of course you did."

"He's exceptional at it," Bruce said. "Haven't had such a challenge at a game of pool in years."

"Well," Adriana said and brushed her wig. "Glad you're enjoying yourself at least."

"Glad to hear that," Bruce said and kissed her cheek.

Adriana tilted her head and smiled at him.

"Gordon still believes in you," she said.

"Hm?" he asked.

"He thinks you can bring this...mystery drug to a halt," Adriana said.  "Once I get the sample or some info, I know you will be able to."
