Jeffrey was getting annoyed, pissed even. For the past month the batman had been going after the people on the list and the more he did the bigger he realized all this was.
First of all the people he went after were way high up and had too much say in how the place was run and yet none of them was the man in charge and all that meant the man in charge was bigger than he initially thought. The real kicker on the other hand was the NYPD had just issued a warrant for his arrest, the batman was now a wanted vigilante.
In front of the Police Station.
"...we hereby declare that the so called batman is a danger to this city he is to be considered armed and dangerous and we the NYPD will not condone any form of vigilantism. We the NYPD hereby issue an arrest warrant for this so called batman." The Captain spoke to the journalists gathered at the press.
Immediately the captain was done a journalist asked a question, "Captain does that mean you are confirming the rumors, is the really a demon bat in our city?" .
"He is no demon, he is but a man in a bat costume and as I said earlier he should be considered armed and dangerous, thank you." the Captain then left ignoring the many questions from the various reporters.
Detective George Stacy watched the entire thing, "this doesn't feel right." Matt turned to him, "what do you mean? first you want to catch this guy, now you don't?"
"Don't get me wrong I don't condone the batman, but he has helped us in bringing down the guys at the top even bringing down some corrupt cops but most of the officials haven't been charged and we don't go after the crooks we found but after batman...it just doesn't feel right." Matt paused " when you put it that way....yeah something does not add up."
back in the king Manor.
"It seems the batman just became public enemy number one." Sebastian came up to Jeffrey, " It seems I underestimated the number of officers in their pockets. " " indeed, how close are you to getting to the top." " It has now become impossible to beat my way any higher, Antoine's death served as a warning. Snitches get stitches, no one wants to be next. "
"So what are you going to do next?" Sebastian asked Jeffrey who was now drenched in sweat after his workout, " I just started out and have yet to gain contacts in the criminal world but I'm pretty sure every good cop has a few." "That's a great idea only one problem, you are now public enemy number one and wanted by the NYPD how are you going to do this." "I refuse to believe every officer in this city has been bought.... Oracle bring up the list of officers."
"Yes sir" A female voice responded, Jeffrey decided he needed an A.I Sebastian was good but wasn't enough and that led to the birth of the A.I, the Oracle.
Oracle brought up the list of officers who didn't have any records of receiving a bribe, suddenly one name stood out detective George Stacy Jeffrey knew slot about him as he was the father of Gwent Stacy as well as future NYPD captain. " it seems the batman would be paying someone a visit.
later that night.
at the NYPD.
George was in his office try to make sense of everything but it was like finding a needle in a hay stack. He was getting frustrated when the lights in his office suddenly went out then he heard a voice, " hello detective."
George turned around fast pointing his gun at the person who he couldn't believe was in his office, before him was the demon bat himself. " How did you get here?" "I'm batman."
"what's that supposed to mean?", the batman ignored his question an continued "I need your help." " help. Why would I help you? you are a wanted criminal. " " do you believe that, you know as well as I do that this city is slowly dying and more than half the police in this building are in their pockets." "So what you want to be what, Captain America."
"These are the files I have collected but I'm missing something the people won't talk after what happened to Antoine but I have figured out something none of them know more than what they should almost like terrorist cells there must be a link between them but I can't find it, I need your help." Batman dropped a folder on his desk, George moved to look at the folder when he looked back up the batman was no more.
"Even if I help you, how will I contact you huh." George muttered to himself when suddenly there folder began to vibrate. opening it the was a phone hidden among the files with a message on its screen "use this."
