So this Ibn fellow is really arousing the Chimp's curiosity. And when the chimp gets curious, he gets investigative ( Read more... )

The third number rings endlessly.

Detective Chimp has a great deal of patience.

He puts the phone on speaker, sits back, and pulls out a book to read.

anotherknight September 17 2007, 02:33:55 UTC

He'll need a great deal of patience. The wait is long.

"Who gave you the phone number?" The question emanates from within the room.

onthecase September 17 2007, 02:39:38 UTC

"I've got access to the JLA files," the Chimp shrugs, not bothering to look at where the Batman is. If he wants to be seen, he'll be seen. And no, he's not hanging up the phone. "Ever heard of voice mail?"

anotherknight September 17 2007, 02:41:30 UTC

"Don't waste my time."

onthecase September 17 2007, 02:51:12 UTC

"Look, I'll make this pretty quick, then." He tosses over his notes on Ibn Head.

"I understand you've got connections with Ibn. He's Talia's brother, I understand... which means he's Ra's al-Ghul's son. But something doesn't add up."

anotherknight September 17 2007, 03:00:43 UTC

The notes are seemingly absorbed into an abyss of black.

"Why are you investigating Ibn Head?"

onthecase September 17 2007, 03:12:15 UTC

"He's interested in joining the Outsiders. We've already had some traitors in our midst. I want... no, I need to know more about him. I have to know who this guy is. His connections to Ra's al-Ghul make me skeptical. Add in Nightstar's response..." He shrugs.

anotherknight September 17 2007, 03:18:17 UTC

The only immediate response is silence. It may even seem as if the visitor has pulled up stacks.

"He isn't Talia's brother."

onthecase September 17 2007, 03:26:55 UTC

"Then how are they related?" Chimp is positive they're related somehow. His gut doesn't lie to him.

anotherknight September 17 2007, 03:34:28 UTC

Discussing this matter with Ibn first would be prudent. The instinct to protect family is strong. Regardless, he answers the question.

"Ibn is her son."

onthecase September 17 2007, 03:44:25 UTC

And with that, everything snaps into place.

"He's from the future."

anotherknight September 17 2007, 03:53:43 UTC

"A future."

onthecase September 17 2007, 04:00:46 UTC

And now something else snaps in.

"Sue knows who the father is, doesn't she?"

anotherknight September 17 2007, 04:06:59 UTC

To that there's no response.

onthecase September 17 2007, 04:14:50 UTC

Chimp nods. The silence speaks volumes.

"Can he be trusted?"
