Batman: Assassin

Chapter 13

That night, Batman stands on a rooftop listening to a scanner. This scanner hacks into phone frequencies. He hears Oswald Cobbelpot talking.

"Are the children ready?" Oswald says.

"Yes Mr. Cobbelpot. We loaded them into the vans."

"Children?" Batman thinks to himself.

Batman watches one of Penguin's men leave the building. The man walks with a
rifle in his hands. He walks down the streets looking around to make sure the coast is clear. Suddenly he hears something. He walks toward where he thinks the sound is coming from.

"Who the hell is there?!"

He loads his rifle and aims it, preparing to fire. He begins to run away

"I am not scared of a giant bat!"

Batman grins.

"You should be!"

Suddenly a grappling hook wraps around the thug's leg and knocks him off his feet. He hits his head and gets knocked out. When he wakes up he realizes he is hanging over the side of a building. He looks up and sees Batman standing above him holding the rope.

"AAAAAAAAARGH!!!" The thug screams.

"Are you scared now?!"

"What the hell do you want from me?!"

"Tell me about your boss, Oswald?! What is he up to?!"

"I can't! Do you have any idea what he would do to me!"

"I know what I can do to you!"

Batman grabs his left leg and starts twisting it. The goon screams at the top of his lungs.

"Alright! Alright! I'll tell you anything."

Batman releases his grip.

"He runs a drug and child trafficking ring! He ships children through various warehouses. He pays off cops to keep quiet."

"Where can I find out one of his warehouses?!"

"Uhh?"

Batman grabs his foot and begins twisting it again.

"Alright, alright! He has one down at 5th street!"

"Thanks for your cooperation!"

Batman pulls out a pistol and aims it at his head.

"Whoa whoa whoa! You promised to let me go!"

"You are absolutely right," he says.

Batman pulls the trigger and finishes the guy. He blows the tip of his gun and walks away.
