Gotham Continued,

By:Dennis Shaun Bowman

Picking up his hammer and bag he kicks open the door. The Alarm sounds! He walks outside throwing the bag and hammer to the guys in the van, then walks back inside. Setting a couple more timers on the walls. To his surprise he hears something, he looks up and sees something in the shadows

of the rafters. He turns to run as the shadow disappears. While standing at the door he takes a look around. Surprisingly, he turns to his left and Batman appears from the shadows. Throwing a punch, the man grabs Batman and they tumble threw the door, falling to the street. Another m an runs from the van jumping in the brawl, as they try t out man the hero.

While the fight progresses the two men get the upper hand, the van takes off and races forward the two men then throw Batman into the on coming vehicle. He bounces off the front and on to the hard ground. Then Both men make run for it jumping inside the van, as it takes off into the night, Batman is bleeding from the mouth. He stumbles to his feet as sirens are heard ringing throughout the city. Batman sees they are out of reach, walks back up the stairs and into the Jewelry Store, breathing really hard. He stops inside the door, as the camera circles him. He looks startled, because it looks as if his Bat stars have been scattered everywhere. He turns around as two Police cars have arrived. A detective gets out barley seeing Batman from the outside, and demands he stop in place. However Batman looks back, and when the officers get inside. He is gone, but to their surprise, all the evidence points to him. Detective Ramirez, proceeds back out side, ordering the other officer to search for evidence. Ramirez goes to the car making the call for backup and demanding Lieutenant Gordon, come as soon as possible. The Other officer walks out side with a the note and trinket in hand. Then hands it to Ramirez. Ramirez then begins to read.

Ramirez: What is the circumference of a axis turning time to eyes with nothing inside?

Officers begin arriving at the crime scene, Ramirez begins turning the trinket, Gordon gets out of one of the cars approaching Ramirez.

Gordon: Hows it going Detective?

Ramirez: Fine thank you Lieutenant, when we arrived we saw the Batman inside the store, we tried to catch him but when we entered the store he had vanished then we found this trinket and note. The stores been cleaned out completely, and we have one death. There were mark found on the Night officers throat.

At this time one of the officers is shown walking through the safe rooms door. Unknowingly he trips the hidden wire, the timers red numbers are shown, 5....4....3.....2.....1..... Gordon and Ramirez are shown walking away from the police car as other officers have entered. When a explosion goes off, Gordon and Ramirez are then thrown back onto the hard pavement. Ash and rubble crashing onto the police cars, falling onto everyone.
