Batman and Robin-Pt.18-Takin Care of Buisness
I woke up the next morning feeling energized, Alfred was right, I did need sleep, still The Red Hood Gang is on my mind. Things in the manor are very quiet now, Alfred made eggs, and I chowed down on them.
“I assume you will be going out to inventory soon, or are you saving that for later?”
“No, I’ll head out now, better that I get this done faster, who knows what that information might help with.”
“Alright sir, I’ll be waiting here” there’s a silence for a couple minutes, change can be hard to adapt to, but when you do, most times you begin to enjoy it, but if things go back to the way they were, it just seems empty, that’s the feeling we’re both being affected by now.
“Alright, and Alfred, just relax for now, enjoy yourself’ I smile and he smiles back, as I head out the door, and make my way to the car, and drive out onto the street, it’s time to take care of some business.
Eventually I arrive at Wayne Enterprises, I park my car in the special spot made for me, and make my way into the building. Along the way I see some familiar faces, including Lucius, one of the few men that know of my knightly activities, Dick would have asked if that pun was intentional, he would have laughed, I would have kept a stern exterior, but on the inside, I would have been laughing along with him.
“Hello Mister Wayne, good to see you around here” he says, smiling, as his shoulder rests on Lucas, his child, the bond between those two is special, knowing him your whole life, it’s like no other, I just wish Dick and I could have had a relationship like that.
“I see Luke is with you, taking another tour of the tower.”
“Yep, I just hope that he doesn’t get tired of it” we laugh together, Alfred told me that I should try to laugh more, and I’ve been putting effort into it, but I slowed down for a bit recently.
“Anyways, I need to go take care of business, got to ask about our inventory.”
“Oh, for that rather unfortunate infiltration.”
“Yep, well it was good seeing you Lucius.”
“You too Mr. Wayne, oh and if you could come by my office later I have some things to talk with you about.”
“Got it Mr. Fox, see you then” I begin walking to the elevator, and make my way to inventory. Then I remember, the man who works there, has a rather unfortunate past, he actually worked for the Red Hood Gang, but decided to make a switch for the greater good in the end, and I’ve rewarded him for that, he’s been moving up the ranks, and I’m glad he has, everyone deserves redemption, everyone deserves forgiveness, something that’s hard to do when you’re a symbol of vengeance.
“Well hey there Mr. Wayne, I know what brings you here” he’s a good man, has a kid, two years old, he couldn’t make enough cash so he had to join the Red Hood Gang, since they were threatening him, but that one bad day didn’t conquer him, and now he’s living a steady life.
“Alright, so can I see the inventory on that storage room.”
“Right away sir, and let me assure you, you’ll be happy to see this” an odd thing to say when there was a robbery, there’s only one reason he would have said it, and as he turns the monitor to me I realize I was right about that.
“Nothing stolen, are you sure that’s right?”
“Yeah, I checked again right after and that’s correct, nothing was stolen, that masked assassin and his ninja kids just met up there, and left.”
“What an odd occurrence, anyways thank you, have a good day, and I’ll put in a good word for you.”
“Good to hear Mr. Wayne, oh and one other thing” I pause and turn to him, quietly looking at him.
“Those bastards in the Red Hood Gang called me up, wanted me to do another heist with them, but I said no, I think I’m really improving” he’s happy about that, almost rejoicing about it.
“I’m happy for you, now I would tell the GCPD about that, I’m sure there have been people looking for those men.”
“Will do Mr. Wayne, will do” as I close the door I let the facts sink in to my head. Some ninja kids broke into Wayne Enterprises with Deathstroke, which hits close to home, and the Red Hood Gang is coming back into play, I feel a storm coming, if only I had someone on the inside.
