Another day of school over, I thank god to it being over. As the school year gets close to being over I just wonder about the events of 3 months ago. That short guy who just took over that bank heist from Black Mask skeleton crew. We have tried to locate him and there's no trace of him, we get a lead and check it out, only for it to be false or nothing's there. It has frustrated Jay to the point of stay up all night trying to find him, I try to make him sleep but he pulls the "I am your guardian" card and dismissed me.
Anyway, with school out, I walk over to the entrance and changed my shoes. While doing so, I noticed Damian walking to his car with his butler waiting for him. Jay told me I can't tell him I'm related due to skepticism or whatever. Damian always keeps to himself, occasional talking only to insult someone, one time calling the teacher an "old shriveled witch with a monkey's face." Damian walked to his butler's old TVR Sagaris. It's so old and probably rare...worth a lot of money too...hm. No no I'm stealing the butler's car, what am I thinking!?
As I was ready to walk I over hear Damian saying something. I can barely hear something about Penguin and a museum he is either robbing or holding out in. I'm going to assume robbing because who would he be in a museum unless robbing it? Damian got inside the car and his butler drove off, that was my cue to run home...literally, Jay is still making me do this. On the bright side, I have never been this fit before.
It took a few minutes to get back home, the first day it took an hour and a half, mostly because I didn't know my way around the neighborhood. But now it takes me a few minutes to 20 minutes. I climbed up a fire escape to get to the roof of a building, per Jay's request I should do that and entered the through the door, thankfully we have the roof and top floor to ourselves. I made my way down and opened the door to our apartment-er safe house really, I spotted Jay sleeping on his bed. I know better not to wake him up less I get kicked. I did see his helmet lying next to him...his helmet...he wouldn't mind right? Quietly making my way to him I took his helmet was about to put it on when I got shocked! As soon as I lowered it. I yelled in both surprise and in pain as I toss the helmet aside, dang it Jay!
Speaking of Jay, when I screamed, he shot up from his slumber. "What happened!?" he shouts as he gets up, fully awake.
"N-Nothing just...was touching your helmet." I could hear my voice getting higher pitch and quieter.
"You know I don't want you touching my stuff Micheal." He throws me a glare which made me look away.
"Sorry Jay...but I'm glad you're up because I have news." I manage to speak up loud enough to tell him. I glanced at him as he starts to listen attentively. "I might know where Penguin is planning to rob a museum. I don't know which one but he's doing it!"
Jay got up before getting his uniform on. "How did you find this out?"
"Eavesdropping on a conversation." Jay spaced out for a moment before going to his computer, his facial expressions didn't change and he was all serious. He continues to search until showing a map of Gotham.
"Two museums are still being used, we have a third one but it's been abandoned long ago..." He points toward one near the center of the city and the other near Wayne Tower, to the right side of the city. The abandoned is on the far west side of town, but that's in the side another crime boss owns, Jay refuses to tell me who.
"So who are we checking first?" I looked around for my uniform.
"We can't both go to the same one. Tonight you go the one on the east side of Wayne tower, I'll go on the center." He put his hand on my shoulder turning me to him. "Touch my stuff again and I'll hang you from the top of Wayne Tower upside down, with no equipment. Got it?" My face showed less fear than what as I felt as I nodded quickly. "Good...now go do your homework. We'll get ready at ten p.m."
