Chapter 212 by D!$N3Y D!$N3Y

Where do you suggest to go?

To the Scene of the Crime!

With a mystery like 'the Case of the Looted Lex Luthor,' you had to think like a cop: follow the evidence, starting at where the **** happened. "Maybe we should visit LexCorp, investigate where it happened." The two of them saw the logic in that plan, but first, you needed to talk to his bodyguard amd confidant, Mercy Graves. When you came face-to-face with her in the office at the top, she didn't exactly look like a chauffer. She was in business attire, and let her hair grow out some. "Can I help you, gentlemen? I was unaware employees had a costume code."

"Very droll, ma'am," Vigil answer, tipping the brim of his hat.

"You called for help," the knight reminded, "and we have come to rescue your superior." Hearing that actually made her narrow her eyes at him.

"When my friend said 'superior'--" you began to explain, she stopped you with a hand raised up halfway. Then she placed it back on the desk.

"How can I help you?" she asked more seriously.

"We'd be much obliged if you would show us where your boss got hauled away," said Vigil. She seemed **** to reveal where it all took placed, leaning back in her chair with her fingers curled between each other.

"Something wrong?" you asked. And Mercy looked at her hands, in deep thought.

"A man's life is at stake, and you stall?" demanded the Shining Knight.

"Settle down, buckaroo." Vigilante clasped his hand on his partner's shoulder and gently pulled him back.

"This way," she said dismally. As she showed you the way to the crime scene, the essence of Batman lined up with you. Without you even trying! Then you began wondering why she would call for help, and then act depressed to help you. Was she wanting of another search party? Was there something she was keeping to herself...?

She revealed when she heard a ruckus coming from his bedroom, opening the door to it. The window inside seemed to be unlocked, wide open; the bed covers were folded more towards the foot of the bed than the head. Unless Lex got out of bed himself and flew off his balcony, you thought, it was time to go to work. "Ok, guys. Spread out and look for clues." You make a teleport-energy magnifying glass appear in your hand, and you all search different parts of the room.

Find anything?
