Four He's Gone

Zucco walked out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen, passing by Jake, who was sitting the island eating a bowl of salad, to the cupboard, grabbing a bowl and walking over to the sink, filling the bowl with water. The kitchen was an average kitchen with a black fridge, marble countertops, a few cupboards, a dishwasher by the fridge, and an oven. Zucco started to talk with Jake about how Dick acts when he is a disappointment when they heard a thud come from upstairs. "Boss, I think he fell off the bed," Jake said taking a bite of his salad. Zucco picked up the bowl, that he set down to with Jake, and headed to the stairs. Zucco walked the stairs slowly and headed to his room.

When he reached the door heard something that sounded like a rope being wound up, he quickly opened the door just in time to see a figure gliding away from the house. He looked around the room for Dick but didn't see him anywhere. "Shit" Zucco said turning and running down the stairs to Jake, who was still eating his salad. "Jake, he's gone" Jake looked at him confused. "What?" He asked standing up and running upstairs.

Zucco walked out of the kitchen and down the hall to the gym. He walked into the gym and punched the punching bag about twenty times before Jake walked in to drag him out. "Boss, 's time to go to sleep, we can look for him tomorrow," Jake explained dragged Zucco up to his room. "No, I know where he is and that's with the bat," Zucco told him as they walked up the stairs. "Sir, we will get 'im back. I will have my best men looking for him." Zucco just shook his head. "No, then the bat would be on to me." Zucco walked into his room "Good night, Jake" Zucco closed the door and went to bed. "'Night, boss" Jake walked to his room and went to bed.

The next morning Zucco woke up not wanting to get out of bed. "Ugh" He moaned sitting up on the bed "What is for breakfast?" he questioned himself walking to his door and down the hall to Jake's room. Jake opened his door to see Zucco looking like he barely slept last night. "Boss, you okay?" He asked Zucco, who just shook his head. "No, I barely slept last night." The tiredness was clearing his voice. "Sir, go back to bed, I will take care of everything." Jake told him. Zucco turned around and walked back to his room laying on his bed, not long after laying back down he fell asleep.

Jake walked down the stairs to the kitchen to make some breakfast. He decided to make pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon. "How are we going to get Dick back?" He asked himself as cooked the food. Once the pancakes were done Jake decided to bring some to Zucco, he walked upstairs and straight into Zucco's room. "Boss, I made you some breakfast," Jake shook Zucco a little, who sat up and ate pancakes, eggs, and bacon. "Thank you, Jake, it was good." Zucco laid back down and fell back asleep.

Jake walked back downstairs to eat his plate. He liked not having Dick around, don't get the wrong idea, he loved the kid, he just didn't like how he was being treated like a dog. Jake believed that Dick deserved a better life, so may or may not have given the bat a small anonymous tip, but that was months ago. Jake always waited for the bat to come and save Dick from Tony's harmful ways, but as weeks passed he started to lose hope.

"Jake, what time is it," A voice said breaking him from his thoughts. Jake looked in the direction of the voice to see Zucco standing in the doorway. Jake looked at the oven clock to see it was 9:30 a.m. Wow, I have been sitting here thinking for two hours? He thought. "'S 9:30" He answered standing up from his seat and walked outside to the back yard.

Zucco stood in the door way for a few minutes after Jake went outback. "What is he going to do now?" Zucco said turning around and walking into the main room to watch some T.V. After about ten minutes of watching T.V. he heard banging from the backyard. He stood up and walked out back to see Jake with a crowbar in his hands, hitting the dog house. "JAKE, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Zucco screamed running over and grabbing the crowbar from his hands, Jake looked at him and punched Zucco in gut. "I'm destroying it, what do you think I'm doing?" Jake drew his hand back and walked to the front.

Jake walked almost three blocks away from the house and decided to ask someone if he could use their phone. He walked to a house on the corner and ask to use their phone to call G.C.P.D. The owner, a young woman with dirty blonde hair, answered the door. "Can I help you, sir?" She asked tucking hair behind her ear. "May I please use your phone to call G.C.P.D?" Jake questioned and she nodded. "Yeah, stay right there," She said walking away and coming back with a home phone "Here you go" She handed the phone to him. Jake thanked her and dialed the number for the G.C.P.D.

"Gotham P.D. how can I help you?" A woman' voice came through the phone. "Would it be possible for me to get in touch with Batman?" He asked. "Yes, but why would you need to contact him for?" She answered. "I need to talk to him about what he found last night and 's important" Jake explained getting irritated with her. "Very well, I am patching you through right now, sir." She told him.

"What do you need?" Batman's gruff voice. "I needed to tell that you need to be careful with Dick" Jake told him. "He been through a lot the pass three years with his parents death, especially having to look at their post almost every week, beatings, and the treatment." To say that Batman was shocked that Jake knew about him finding Dick and what had happened to him, would be an understatement. "How do know about any of this?" You could hear him bat glaring. "I lived with him for those three years and I'm one who gave the anonymous tip." After that Jake hung up.
