* **Jim Gordon:** [pacing footsteps]
* **Harvey Bullock:** [scoff] Jim if you keep pacing like that you're gonna burn a hole in the roof. [keys jingling, keys jingling]
* **Renee Montoya:** He's been like this before.
* **Jim Gordon:** [pacing footsteps]
* **Harvey Bullock:** True... but this is like the real fast pacing... the type when you're freaking out.
* **Renee Montoya:** What about you? Aren't you nervous?
* **Harvey Bullock:** [scoff] Me? Nah? It's not like me and the Bat were ever buddy buddy anyways. [keys jingling, keys jingling] I've seen him take longer anyways. [keys jingling]
* **Jim Gordon:** [pacing footsteps] He's been late... but never this late. [pacing footsteps, sigh]
* **Renee Montoya:** It may be crazy... but what if something did happen to him... what if he's... y'now.
* **Harvey Bullock:** [scoff] It'll take a lot more than that to take him out... besides what do I care about that pointy know-it-all. [keys jingling]
* **Renee Montoya:** [scoff] C'mon Bullock I know you a little better than that. You're just jingling the keys because you like the sound.
* **Harvey Bullock:** [groan, scoff, sigh] Fine if we want to talk about it. Montoya, if we're being serious I don't get nervous... you know this... and I sure as hell don't give a damn about the Bat. While we never seen eye to eye... after all these years he ain't all that bad... or at least the other costumed nuts in this town... [sigh] he's just never really taken this long.
* **Renee Montoya:** Well I'll be damned... looks who's here.
* **Batman:** Commissioner. Detectives.
* **Harvey Bullock:** How'd you-
* **Jim Gordon:** That doesn't matter, Bullock. He's here now.
* **Batman:** Apologies for being late we were handling something. A personal matter.
* **Jim Gordon:** Oh... uh no worries. Sorry to take you away from that.
* **Robin:** [scoff] Let's skip the small talk. You called us for a reason. What's so important-?
* **Batman:** Robin...
* **Robin:** What? It's true we've already had our hands full enough already. They must have some leads on the docks shooting by now.
* **Batman:** Robin, stand down...
* **Robin:** [scoff] Fine. [footsteps]
* **Batman:** Sorry about that... Now to the matter at hand how can we help?
* **Jim Gordon:** Kid's not wrong. [papers shuffling We did find something at the docks.
* **Batman:** Any matches?
* **Jim Gordon:** Not anything that was known... Based off what our CSI's found it's treated as an enzyme. Which makes it harder to run past anything... no modern technology. The bloods more encrypted than anything.
* **Batman:** Hmm... Wouldn't it make it a dead end then? [papers shuffling]
* **Jim Gordon:** It's in the middle... I actually remember a similar case after I made sargeant. Must've been '98. Wayntech had done some back ground research. An biosynthetic injector that releases an enzyme into a persons DNA that could hide their genetic mark. Originally meant for the CIA it was destroyed in a robbery gone wrong not long after.
* Batman: So you think that these two cases might be somewhat similar... a seventeen year old case is what you're saying.
* **Jim Gordon:** You and I have both seen this at various crime scenes. So... I did some digging anytime we've come across this... 'phantom blood' you're always around...
* **Robin:** [whisper:] *Is he actually saying what he thinks he's saying...?*
* **Batman:** Commissioner-
* **Jim Gordon:** Don't worry. You don't have to explain yourself, I never said anything because I figured it was never my business. And I don't want to know. [chuckle] Though after that whole press conference with Wayne saying how he had been sponsoring you after all these years, it clicked.
* **Batman:** Jim-
* **Jim Gordon:** [chuckle footsteps] [whisper:] Between me and you, I played on the though that you actually were Bruce Wayne... [scoff, chuckle] Stupid I know... There isn't a point in arresting you for arson or for the false report that Bruce had filed, enough if I were to ignore all the flags that'e be raised.
* **Batman:** Commissioner, I-
* **Jim Gordon:** The blood that we found and sampled. There's something that you're not sharing with us, and I get that. You're protecting on of your own right? With all the work that you've done with... expanding your operations outside of Gotham. I agree I truly do... but you need to tell is that blood someone who's been aiding you. I can't risk a serial killer out on the streets in a costume.
* **Batman:** Their... their one of ours.
* **Jim Gordon:** [sigh] That's a relief... they okay?
* **Batman:** No... actually their missing.
* **Jim Gordon:** I'm truly sorry about that. You need any help?
* **Batman:** No... it's okay... we can handle it. Was... there anything else?
* **Jim Gordon:** Yes, actually. As we were canvasing the surrounding area... Bullock noticed people moving crates into an old storage company.
* **Harvey Bullock:** Since it was Gotham I hardly payed any attention... [footsteps] Helluva a thing that I did, though. [hand slapping wood] Like Jimbo said two guys who were dressed as cops were moving something into a truck. So when I asked what they were doing, guess what they did?
* **Robin:** They stopped out of the goodness of their hearts?
* **Harvey Bullock:** [scoff] Nah, [hinge creaks] They pulled out this little beauty right here, has quite the firepower nearly blew me away. Shocking ain't?
* **Batman:** [footsteps: two instances] Would it be a problem if we...
* **Jim Gordon:** No, by all means. We wouldn't have called if we didn't want an expert opinion.
* **Harvey Bullock:** It's stuff out of Sci-fi movies huh? I would've figured it was just one of those replicas, though if I thought it was fake my head would've been blown off by now.
* **Robin:** [clatter] I recognize these... It's not anything from Earth but Mother Box weaponry, CRIME has been stealing crates of these for the following weeks. Question is how it made it's way into Gotham.
* **Batman:** [sigh, clatter] These weapons seem to be making quite the name for themselves now...
* **Robin:** But who is CRIME trusting to supply street gangs?
* **Batman:** Be that as it may, I must be able to wipe out an group of squad cars.
* **Renee Montoya:** More like a two-hundred tanks...
* [silence: 4.5 seconds]
* **Renee Montoya:** What? You heard Bullock these things pack a punch. Besides I may have don a little digging on some of these weapons, one case in Detroit, another in Keystone, and the last one in Star City. All have similar caches of how the rifles go into the respective cities without anyone even noticing. Plus we need a new room for the shooting rang.
* **Batman:** [chuckle] Impressive work, detective.
* **Renee Montoya:** Eh... I try... though we did find something else though two in the truck... weapon manifests for rocket launchers, fake id's, driver permits, and a whole bunch of gear that you need either for a heist or a really big gang war. But my guess is that this is CRIME getting their operatives into the city.
* **Batman:** Hmm... [clatter] Did you get an id on the shooters?
* **Harvey Bullock:** Maybe... but I doubt it. My guys will make sure that they stay in custody until they talk. [keys jingling]
* **Batman:** [snatch, keys jingling]
* **Harvey Bullock:** Hey... the hell are you doing?!
* **Batman:** [keys jingling] Where'd you get these?
* **Harvey Bullock:** Off the driver. It was his personal affects. Tow truck was stuck half way across the city I had to drive there instead.
* **Batman:** Here. [keys jangling]
* **Harvey Bullock:** [clatter, keys jingling]
* **Batman:** We'll discuss anything else we can find, Commissioner. [footsteps] Come on, Robin. [grapnel line fires, rush of wind]
