Shadowed past

Chapter 2

           

Bruce's POV.

I was sitting at the dinner table and read through the newspaper. Alfred came out with a plate of eggs and bacon and some toast and a big cup of black coffee. As I read through the newspaper I saw that there had been a robbery at a jewellery shop.

"Last night at 02:45am was Tiffany's robbed by some guys with masked faces. Batman came too late to stop the masked men's."

"Alfred that's the second time this week that another shop was robbed by the same masked guys." I said with an annoying tone to my voice. "You'll get them next time Master Bruce." Alfred said as he went back to the kitchen. I finished my breakfast and coffee and went to work.

~~~~~~~~Time skip~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was jumping from buildings and buildings until I heard an alarm go off. I ran to where the alarm came from. 'It's them.' I thought to myself when I saw the guys. They got in to a car and drove off. I ran after them on the roof tops but they got away. I continued patrolling the rest of the night.

~~~~~~~~~Next Night~~~~~~~~~~

This time I was in the Batmobile as I saw the masked guys drive off, but this time they won't get away that easy. I started to drive after them right after they went past me. I was so close to them but we got to a traffic light. And a truck came between us. When it past I could not see them anymore.

~~~~~~~Next Night~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm tired of this. They always get away, but no more." I said in an annoying tone and waited on them. It didn't take long until they passed me. I started at once to drive after them. We got to the same traffic light but this time I wasn't going to lose them... again. I kept my distance just so they didn't see me. If I'm going to stop them I need to get to the leader. They drove out of the city and into a thick forest. They drove up to a well-hidden house. I parked the Batmobile a bit away just in case they went out, so they wouldn't know I'm here. I walked toward the house but I kept to the shadow. I didn't walk right in, I went around the house to take a quick look over before I storm in.

When I got on the back side I heard two guys talk about something with a boy. I couldn't hear everything they said. 'What do they want with a boy? 'I thought to myself as I listened to their conversation. "When do you think the boss is done with the boy?" one guy asked. "I think I heard something that he will be dead sometime today." another guy said. I could hear in his voice that he smirked when he said that. I walk to the next side after I heard that they moved. 'Which boy is here, and why?' was the questions that went through my mind. I was dragged right out of mine thoughts as a deadly scream of pain came from inside.
