Jerrick pushes me aside to the wall like I'm nothing. He picks my dad up off his feet, holding him by his throat. I...I don't know why I just sat there like an idiot. This was a true sociopath who's extremely close to killing my dad. I think it was just shock. I was a bit relieved when I saw him sheath his blade, but this is still the guy known for killing criminals with his own two hands. He pulls my dad closer to his face, and shoots him a look I'm sure is gonna haunt Arthur for years. As if he didn't have enough things keeping him up at night...
"Listen good, Arthur. Cluemaster is dead. Done. Over. I never wanna see this bullshit orange jumpsuit of yours ever again. Got it?"
"Y-yes..."
"Next time your girl won't stop me. Remember that."
He drops dad and lumbers off into the shadows. As soon as I'm sure he's gone I go right to my dad's side. Oh god, he's covered in his own blood...he's definably critical. How's he still conscious? If I came here sooner he wouldn't be in this much pain. It's my fault...
"Y-you knew? About Bane?...."
"You left that clue at Gotham Liberty. If you didn't I wouldn't have learned and you'd be dead right now..."
"I was ready to die. When Bane's--Arrgh--Bane's guys killed those people, I thought I lost you for good. The only thing I had left to live for..."
"I'm so sorry, daddy... If I wasn't such a moron earlier I would've tried to help you like Bruce did."
"What...what did you just call me?"
"....daddy?"
"I don't remember you ever calling me that. Even as a baby....Aarrghh!!"
"Oh god, daddy! W-where's it hurt the most?"
"Here...."
"....you didn't point anywhere."
"That's where it hurts..."
"Oh daddy... I'll call in the Whirly Bird, get you to a hospital quick! You're losing blood, we gotta--"
"Hey, found him! Christ, he's covered in blood! What happened?"
Police? Thank god, they can get some help!
"Get a medic here, quick! he's practically dying!"
"Ah man. All units report, we have a 10-45C at the east docs, need and ambulance, now!"
"Huh, so this is where you've been?"
"Jim? No...I was hunting him down like an idiot. I didn't know who the real villain was..."
"Well, everyone does now. Big guy called me up, told me the whole thing. Most of the force is mobilizing on Krank's right now. Arthur should be good now."
I wish that were true. The bloodsmear and my dad's pained grunts say otherwise. I stayed with him until about 3 minutes later when the medics took him away. I followed the ambulance all the way to Mercy Hospital. I'm not sleeping tonight. Not until I know for sure he's gonna be okay....
i think it the best end of all... for i have visions of papers and pictures stuck to her wall and best of all, right above the clock is a little shelf crying out for 'forsaken little thrift store souls' to sit upon :)

******************************************
New Yorkers will tell you that nobody in his or her right mind goes to Times Square on New Year's Eve. Well, anyway, nobody from Manhattan -- you can never tell what those crazy folks in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, or the Bronx might do (and we won't even try to imagine what those crazy folks in New Jersey might do). Actually, even residents of Manhattan have been known to experience the New Year's Eve count-down once in their lives, just so they can tell everyone else that they know what they're talking about. In my case, I think it was back in 1969; at this point, I can't even remember for sure which year it was ...
Why do New Yorkers do their best to stay away from Times Square on New Year's Eve? Well, have you ever looked at the television screen in the midst of all that mayhem? There are a gazillion other people out there, jammed against each other, shoulder to shoulder — and they're all drunk, and they're all screaming at the top of their lungs. You can't just drive to a nearby corner and park your car, with a plan of getting back in your car and fleeing after you've seen what a crazy idea it was. And you can't take a taxi right to the middle of Times Square — at least, not after mid-afternoon on New Year's Eve. Even worse, there are no public bathrooms anywhere to be found, so you're in trouble if you drink too much beer ... except that the cops do their best, quite understandably, to make sure nobody in the Times Square area (which is broadly defined to cover an area of several square blocks) is drinking or doing anything that might look dangerous.
Consequently, it often seems that most of the crowd has chosen to get roaring drunk before they arrive on the scene. All of which might be great fun if the weather is clear, and the temperature is somewhere above the freezing mark. But if it's 30 degrees or lower, and it's drizzling or raining or snowing, this is not a place where you want to spend six or eight hours standing around with two million of your best (drunken) friends...
Thus, it should not surprise you to hear that I was not in Times Square to watch the ball drop on New Year's Eve of 2009 (or, for that matter, any other year going back to 1969). However, I had a business meeting in mid-town Manhattan, in the late morning of Dec 31st; and on the chance that something interesting might be going on, I brought my camera with me. To reach my meeting, I took a subway to Times Square, and it was snowing heavily when I came out of the station; thus, I was hoping for some dramatic scenery when my meeting ended and I had a little free time before heading back uptown to my office.
Alas, the snow had pretty much been replaced by a combination of drizzle and occasional raindrops when I finished my meeting and walked over to Times Square. Hence you won't see any dramatic blizzard-like shots in this Flickr set; no views of frozen revelers with zillions of snowflakes falling all around them. But there were some interesting people wandering around, and it was interesting to see how many foreign tourists had arrived to spend all afternoon, all evening, and potentially all night in what has become the most well-known site of New Year's celebrations in the U.S., if not the world. It was also interesting to see that the cleaning crews were already beginning to assemble, and that other workers were dragging along large bundles of balloons, hats, and other novelties to be distributed to the crowds later on...
... and later on, after a very pleasant dinner in Greenwich Village with several family members, I ended up back at home, watching the revelry on television as the countdown came to an end. The TV coverage was obviously far more extensive than what I could accomplish with just one DSLR camera; and it was also infinitely more sophisticated, with high-end TV cameras located on strategic vantage points all around the square. On the other hand, the TV images appear, and then disappear, often leaving no lasting impression. By contrast, these still images will hopefully be interesting to look at months, if not years, from now. For better or worse, they'll be here whenever you'd like to see them...

I was in the Shangri La Makati lobby, waiting for a meeting when I saw the gaudy Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind chandelier and colorful carpet. But no sooner had I whipped out my trusty Sony TX-9 pocket camera than one of the many security guards came across the nearly deserted lobby and stood directly in front of me, blocking the view. To be honest, my immediate reaction was "you #@*% rent-a-cop moron! You did that on purpose !" But then, thinking positively, I realized that this delightful gentlemen had actually helped me improve the image by adding scale (a human figure) as well as local color (the shirt he wears is called "barong tagalog" and is the national dress for business and formal occasions. So I salute you, Mr. security guard, for helping keep the lobby free of locals who would not spend enough money here, and possibly cause a distraction to those all-important foreign guests ...
