Bruce POV

"Can I ask you something?"

"Why all this weird homework about your mom and dad?" Selena asks.

"Trying to understand why it happened."

"There is no why. Bad stuff happens. You got to get over it.

"Maybe your right."

"Of course I'm right. Would you like to kiss me?"

"No."

"No?" Kat asks looking at me with a yeah right look.

"I would like too but I can't help but think that you have an ulterior motive. I can't imagine that you'd see me as a suitable romantic partner. So why would you want to kiss me? I don't know."

"You think too much kid. I was just trying to be nice."

"No offense but you don't strike me as a nice person."

"What do you mean? I'm nice." Kat replies.

"I don't mean that your not a good person but your not nice. You don't care much about other people."

"Forget you Orphan! Climb the bridge on your own!"

Bella POV

I was playing in my room when I heard the sounds of fighting downstairs. As I open the door Bruce and Kat come running past me. "Run!" They scream as a woman appears out of nowhere. Grabbing my arm before I can respond, I am dragged behind them completely confused.

"What's going on? Who's dat lady?"

"There's no time to explain we've got to get out of here!" Kat replies as Bruce grabs my arm and pulls me behind him.

"We've got to help Alfred! He could be hurt."

"There's no time besides, Alfred told you to run." Bruce looks back towards the house then back at Kat. "Fine but I'm out of here."

At this, me frown. Alfred was right. This Kat is trouble and she doesn't care about anyone except herself . After we escape, Kat takes us to a place we will be safe for the time being.

Alfred POV

I take on the intruders but wind up being shot in the arm. I glance around the woods but Bruce and Bella are nowhere to be seen. "Bella! Bruce!" I scream receiving no answer in reply.

Not too long later, Detective Gorden and several other officers arrive at the house. "Local PD is searching the area but so far there is no sign of Bella, Bruce or Selena. What can you tell me about this woman?"

"She was in her early 30's and a really good fighter actually." I reply as the medic attends to my arm. "Look mate it's just a scratch. Shove off will you? I've got stuff to do." I say to the medic as I glance out the window.

"Look, we've got 50 police in the woods and even more on the roads. We need to focus on this woman and her people what can you tell me about her?" Gorden demands.

"They were trying to kill us. And your bloody little girl brought them here."

"We don't know that yet."

"You must be Alfred Pennyworth. Bang up job out there."

"Yeah, well not bloody well good enough."

"This was the only thing that was taken off the dead man no ID no car keys nothing. Now I know this girl, she was taken by the child snatchers. And now she's being attacked by assassins at bloody freaking Wayne Manor what the Hell is going on compadre?" Another Detective demands angrily.

"What? You haven't told him?" I ask in surprise.

"Told me What?!" The detective demands angrily.

"Selena Kyle was in the alley the night the Wayne's were murdered she saw the killers face" .

"Oh for Pete's sake don't do this to me." Detective Bullock replies frustratedly.

"Harvey Dent in the DAs office is investigating Dick Lovecraft. He thinks that Lovecraft is connected to the Wayne killings, so he think that we had a witness. He thought He could spook Lovecraft and get him to reveal himself."

"Well that's a hell of a plan. How did it work out? Bravo!" The Detective said sarcastically.

"We thought she was safe, we thought no one knew that she was here."

"Well you were wrong weren't you, you plank? How did they know?" I replied irritatedly.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Detective Bullock demands.

"Because You would've tried to stop me."

"Of course I would have you putzs. What the hell were you thinking? The Wayne case is closed, it's closed!" Bullock says angrily.

"You know damn well that it's not."

"Don't tell me what I know!" Detective Bullock yells at Gorden.

"Would you shut up a pair of you! You can argue later! Right now we have to find Miss Bella and master Bruce!" I reply irritatedly. "Honestly, doesn't anyone know how to act professionally anymore?"

"All right. If they don't come back soon, they would've headed to Gotham, Salina feel safe there." Detective Gorden states.

"Good luck trying to find her in the city, a street kid like that?"

"But You will help us find her right?"

"Yeah, of course I will, because I have to be crazy!"

"Thank you. I'll focus on Lovecraft. I'll find him, if he's behind this, I'll get him to call off the contract."

"How are you gonna do that?"

"I don't know, I'll think of something. Run the streets huh? Focus on your contacts. Go to work."

"I'm coming with you." I say to the Detective as I cock my gun.

"Ok. Your pretty handy for a Valet."

"Butler, mate. I'm a butler." I reply.

Bruce POV

"We need to call Alfred."

"Do you see any phones?" Kat replies sarcastically.

"No. Perhaps we should go back to my house, if the police are there will know that it's safe.

"Yeah right. The police will make it safe?" Kat replies sarcastically.

"We have to contact the police at some point. Someone tried to kill you."

"Me? No one knew that I was there. It's your house, someone wants to kill you, duh."

"Why would anyone want to kill me?"

"Must be all that lame detective work you're doing, paid off real good huh?" Kat replies.

"Maybe dey wanted to make me go bye bye." Bella replies. "Afta all, me is fweinds wifth Mista Mawoni and Mista Falcone. And they has lots of enemies."

"You did what?" Kat asks in shock.

"Chill out,we're cool, we lost them."

"I'm worried about Alfred."

"Relax. Once I got you safely hidden in the city,
I'll find you a phone."

"Thanks. I appreciate your help."

"Hay, I'm just trying to be nice." Kat replies and I can't help but smile slightly.
