A hounding color, silver's lesser sister Has a breath along the way, a cease. This public chariot yields a final pause Like Schubert did in older annuals. But this cross borne hit more than a note sooner: And its travels are Frosted in path. So another Gothamite leaves us with more questions than answers. I'm not sure if anyone could call themselves friends with Mr. Nygma, but he's gone, regardless. This was found carved into a table in his flat. He could have left a harder one, to be honest. And yet, perhaps he's better off than us.[And that's the closest he'll get to publicly acknowledging recent affairs.]Feel free to solve it yourself.

Not yet. It's easier to work when your name isn't in the paper every day.

Depends on the case.

My group isn't all made of detectives. I'd like to keep them all alive.

No. Just children.

[Yeah, anyone who isn't Carrie won't be earning his respect any time soon.]

Yeah. Just children. If you look at everyone out there who wants to help, how many of them are adults? If the children don't ban together in some way, then they're going to go out and they're going to get killed, just because everyone else disapproves of what they're doing. You and I both know they're not going to stop just because someone disapproves. That might make them more excited to go out. Basically the little speech means I'll be sticking with the children.

You really don't think adults don't want to help?

No, I think they do. It's just harder for them to do it.

With their resources, greater skill, and lack of naivete. Of course.

Sure. If you want to go that way. Like I said, your disapproval kind of means nothing, except to let us know that if something happens, you're not the one to go to. Which is fine, we "caped crusaders" tend to stick with each other, anyway. Sometimes it's nice to have someone friendly on the outside. I'll keep looking.

Batman and Redbird didn't have to look much farther.

I know. I've seen all the records. Sometimes people don't always make the best decisions. If you want to help, let me know. If you don't, then that's fine, too.

I think if help is what you're looking for, you need to bring something to the table yourself.

What does a guy like you need? I can offer the skills of my team, if you need a few more hands then you have. You wouldn't be interested in computers, would you?
