    Walking through the trees, Jason Todd walks towards a mill which has the band Firewalk playing. The reason Jason is at this particular concert isn’t for music, however. He’s here for information on somebody.
    He walked to the mill, showing the bouncer his I.D card.
    “Are you sure you’re this old,” he questions.
    “Yes. It’s my damn birthday how would I not know it,” Jason sarcastically says. The bouncer grins and lets him in. Jason has to find his contact before the nights out. He has to find her fast.
    Amidst the drunken concertgoers, Jason sees his contact and calls her over.
    “Sera! Over here,” Jason screams as loud as he could over the loud music, hoping she sees and hears him. Fortunately she did.
    “So, you’re Jason Todd?” questions Sera. “I had thought someone with your reputation would be a bit older.”
    “Yeah, well, everyone says that. Do you have what I want?”
    “Yes. Sit down, there’s a lot to process.”
    The pair sits down as Jason hears an argument outside. He pays no mind to it and listens to Sera tentatively.
    “The man you’re looking for, Damon Merrick, runs a drug trade here. He’s allowed this concert to happen because he believes that it’ll bring him more customers. Hell, some returning customers are here,” Sera says. Jason growled at the name Damon Merrick, who obviously had a grudge against the criminal.
    As the pair continue to talk, a girl walks past their table, obviously trying to find a way to watch the concert. Jason grinned. He remembered what it’s like looking for the best spots to go for a concert. But he can’t focus on that now. Jason needs that the rest of the details of his target.
    “Sera, do you have any ideas as to where he’s at?” inquires Jason, obviously wanting to go after the man now.
    “Unfortunately, no. I wish I could help you but he’s not arou-“ Sera begins to say as they here shouting upstairs.
    “What the fuck is going on now?” Jason grumbles as he turns his head and sees the girl he saw earlier run down the flight of stairs, with a second in tow. The pair run into the crowd.
    “Excuse me, Sera, but I’m gonna go knock some sense into those pervy assholes,” Jason states as he gets up, wickedly grinning.
    “Take your time, Mr. Todd,” Sera replies.
    “Get the fuck outta here,”says someone, but Jason calls the two men back. Smiling at them, Jason kicks one in the knee, shattering it and crippling him. His screams could barely be heard. The man with a beer stain on his tank top ran at Jason and he grabbed a bottle and smashed it into the mans side, knocking him down.
    “And this, boys, is why we don’t chase after girls, “Jason laughs as he returns to the table where Sera is seated. The bouncer runs in and sees the carnage and removes the patrons.
    “I’ve never seen you fight before. That was definitely a treat,” exclaims Sera.
    “Oh, that was nothing. But, do you know who those men were?”
    “They used to work for Damon.”
    “‘Used to’?”
    “Well, you did just cripple one. They won’t be working with him anymore.”
    Jason laughs and he thanks his contact for the information.
   It’s well past 3 a.m, and Jason has to go to Blackwell Academy, the most pretentious school in Arcadia Bay. As soon as Jason gets home, he showers, and gets into bed, going over his newfound information on Damon.
    “This time, Damon, I have you. And you’ll be the one to die.”
