The Dark Knight: Knight of Gotham #22
I make it to the medical bay that Jason stayed in whilst he was in his coma. The sheets are clean and perfectly folded as you’d expect from a man with military training. I’d spent the night in this bay after Tim brought me back to the cave after I first met the Crimson Knight, damn that was painful night. Not thanks to the warehouse coming down on me but thanks to Alfred’s healing methods. Credit where it’s due though they did the trick and I’m recovering faster than most people would from a broken arm. Alfred presses his thumb on the DNA scanner and the medicine storage chamber opens up with all of Alfred’s concoctions to help combat ailments, I doubt a good majority of this is legal but it gets the job done at the end of the day. I can see why my father never had him work in Wayne Pharmaceuticals.
Alfred has a quick rummage through the storage chamber and pulls out what I presume to be the vial that carried the Lazarus that revived Jason. As Alfred passes the vial to me I pull out my finger print kit to search for prints but Alfred speaks before I get a chance to properly look.
“The only finger prints on there are mine. I swabbed it as soon as I came across it.”
“Damn it. How could this have even been brought in here without us knowing?”
"I’m not sure Master Bruce, but how should we deal with this?”
“……I don’t know Alfred.”
It’s a difficult situation to figure out. Jason returned to active duty months ago so whoever it was that infiltrated the cave knows who I am and where my base of operations is, but oddly they’ve chosen to not act on that knowledge. Even more bizarre is that of all things they could do with that information they choose to bring Lazarus into my cave and revive one of my allies. Clearly someone’s trying to send me a message of some sorts. Perhaps it was intended as a warning that trouble is……was on it’s way. The Lazarus is probably intended as a hint towards the Crimson Knight. I hope it’s just towards the Crimson Knight anyways. Last thing I need is for it be the only other Lazarus user.
“I think we’ve got an ally of sorts.”
“How so?”
“Whoever broke into the cave revived Jason thus giving me another soldier. Clearly they felt I needed him which implies they knew something was coming.”
“You think someone was warning you about this Crimson Knight fellow?”
“I hope so Alfred. I really do.”
“What should we do about it then?”
“You’ve been looking into where the vial could have come from?”
“Naturally.”
“Any results?”
“Somewhat. I’ve found where the vial was made and where a palette of them were delivered.”
“And?”
“Nothing. Just an empty warehouse.”
“Damn.”
“I tried to follow up on this and get hold of any credit cards and bank account details but Gothcorp’s computer systems have had the details of all it’s customers deleted so there’s no other pieces of information to follow up on.”
“Whoever did this wants to keep a low profile. Clearly they don’t want to be found.”
“Indeed. It makes them themost interesting leads to pursue."
“It sure does Alfred.”
“You want me to keep following up on anything I can find for this Master Bruce?”
“Definitely. We’ve got a hidden ally somewhere Alfred and I’d like to know just who they are.”
“What about the fact that they breached the cave’s security?”
“We’ll have to up the security protocols to prevent anything like this from happening.”
“Level 4?”
“Indeed.”
Level 4 security is second only to level 5 security where the cave seals itself and can only be unlocked by my voice print. With level 4 security in place the only people who can enter the cave are those with their voice prints stored in the batcomputer. So basically only Alfred, Tim, Dick, Jason and I can access the cave. Anyone else gets a dart full of sedative fired at them rendering them unconscious. Speaking of Tim I hear the familiar noise of the batcopters rotors approaching the cave. I guess he and Jason found all they needed to in Carthage….
