A brief smile crossed Bill Stryker’s face. “Ah, that. In my position I hear certain amounts of information that could be classified as Top Secret.”

" out in the field without complete training, yes?" He said quietly while his eyes continue to scan his surroundings. The man did not answer.

“When I went on patrol, there was a criminal that set fire onto the house of a rival family.” Dick almost forgot Bruce went on patrol without him; he couldn't go because his ankle was twisted.

It was the second day of camp, and the first activity on the list was lava lamps. It was just the old colored water, oil solution with an alka-seltzer creating magnificent bubbles. Of course, we knew how it worked, but the little ones thought it was magic.

Avery gave her a one shouldered shrug, then placed the binders on my desk.
