The Lone Detective

Episode 2: Empty Museum

BATCAVE

"Master Bruce, here you are, I've been looking all over the house, and for some reason, i didn't look here as the first option. A dark and cold lousy cave." Said Alfred coldly, Bruce just smirked    " It's my home Alfred, of course i will be here" Al just raised an eyebrow " Your home, sir? What about the manor above our heads?" " That's still my fathers, i don't feel like home there. Without them...it's just not mine to have..." " Bruce we talked abo-" " COULD we stop talking about it, i would love to get back to work, please Alfred." " Of course, sir. What do we have here?" Bruce opened the Case Files, and clicked on 'Penguin's jewelry' " From what i found in GCPD files-"" That you hacked into"" - i found out that Penguin was stealing jewerly for at least month now." " Oh, and how did you get to that conclusion?" " The way of stealing is always the same, but last time, they misstepped and turned on the alarm. And got cought, now i just need to find out why. Whitch i could get from those two women he got, IF they weren't completely mute. I was also able to get a transmiter, it was completely silent, as i expected. So i took out the memory card and let the computer find the places the signal was coming from." "Places?" " Yes, he used it on many places, whitch means he either was on some other jobs, or had more hideouts, whitch would be smart to do, and from what i got, he is prety smart." Alfred smirked " More than you sir?" Bruce eyerolled " Really funny Alfred. Back to the topic. The computer was already able to find two places where the signal was coming from, i send a drone to look at it, and nothing was there. Both were empty, no bodies, no furniture, only burn mark all over the place." Alfred asked, this time with both of his eyebrows risen " He burned the place? That's an odd way of cleaning dust." And then the Computer showed a new location on the map. "The old Atlantic museum? Fine then, this time i will take a look myself. Alfred stay here at the coms and monitor the whole thing." " Will do sir." After Bruce suited up and grabbed his gear he was ready to go "Time to go to work." 

THE OLD ATLANTIC MUSEUM, 30 MINUTES LATER 

The museum is silent and dark, propably abandoned. But i can't make the mistake of leaving something out. Also i needed to strech my legs, i've been in that cave for 16 hours without any action, i was bored. The detective than sees a light. Maybe not as abandones as i thought.        "Alfred i got a contact, 6 targets, two of them armed, guns, Desert Eagels. One with a knife. Masks." " Penguins I presume?" asked Alfred throught the comms "Looks like it." " ask the gentelmen if they got what you need." "That's the plan." I need to take the ones with the guns first, the rest is gonna be easy, luckly those idiot are turned with their back facing me, i just need to get behind the two. I could use a smoke to blind them and that take them out, make some noice and scare the others. Fine, that's the plan. Then as planned, Batman trows one of his smoke bombs jumps behind the duo with guns, and takes them both by smashing their heads together, then he slowly walks out of the smoke, looking at the scared criminals. " I need some information, so i will have to leave some bones to break for later." said the Knight with a sadistic grin, making criminals scared even more. One of them, on Bats right side yells to give himself courage and swings at him with his knife, Batman dashes to him putting his arms above his head, crossed, to catch the criminals knife mid-swing, he then puts his hands on the hands of the criminal, and kicking him in the knee, broking it, putting the criminal down, Batman then sucker punches him, knocking him out. The other three and go around him, two at his sides, one in front of the Bat. They start to attack him, while Batman blocks their attacks. He brokes one   knee of the guy on his right, and elbows the guy on the left, taking him out, then he side-kicks the guy on his right, taking him out as well. The guy in the front then looks at the crature of the night when he dashes at him, catching him by his neck, picking him off the ground. "Time for answers scum, where is Penguin hiding?" the criminal blacked out " Damm"

"RISE AND SHINE PUNK" was the first thing the criminal heard after he woke up, eyes cover by a blindfold. "Wha-where am I? " You're upside down, thirty stories in the air, and i am holding onto you with one arm, so i guess you'll start talking, or if you want to enjoy the long fall down, fine then-" "NO WAIT,what do you wanna know?" "Where is Penguin?" "He's hiding at Falcone's old warehouse, you know, the one on Kane's avenue, near the docs!" fear was heard from his voice. "Thank you, nice fall." "WHAT?! BUT I GAVE YO-AAAAA" he fell 3 feet before hitting ground, on the GCPD station, cops running out of the station hearing the screams, but find only the criminal. "Nicely done sir." " Thanks Alfred." " Now that we know where he is, it's time-" " -To catch us some bird"
