Bounty Hunting

[jla_extras]

They'd heard he took the occasional metahuman hunt job a long time ago. Dropped off the radar until recently, but what does that matter? What matters is half of Arkham is out, one of their own is missing, and the plant lady skipped town after raiding the Gotham PD file room. someone that worked a little...unorthodoxly...was going to be needed on

Ben looked over to Detective Reese with amusement. "My next class starts in fifteen minutes. How fast can you talk?" he asked, toweling off his head.

It may be cold outside but the dojo was always warm.

"Fast. Your city could use you and from the looks of this place, you could use a few grand."

[bronze_tiger]

"Not my city, but I won't argue the need for some cash. Won't you step into the office, Miss ... ?" he said, gesturing towards the rather cramped room.

Badge flashed once inside. "Detective Reece, Gotham PD, actually. But I'm here informally. My dad is a bail bondsman and he said I should talk to you if I had what he called 'a power problem.'"

[bronze_tiger]

"Take a seat, Miss Reece." he said, closing the door behind them. "If you've got a cape problem in this town why haven't you lit off the big Bat-thingy?" he asked.

She shakes her head. "I see you haven't heard. There was a breakout at Arkham. Scarecrow is still in the hospital, but a lot of the other big name crazies and a lot of the not so big name but still very uglies got out too. The one I'd like you to find we've confirmed left the city, but every second that goes by is more dead people potentially."

Ben thought about that for a moment. Then thought about calling Waller.

Then he decided against it.

"All right." he said. "I presume you'll be handling the GCPD end of things? I'm really not looking to go to jail after I help you with your little infestation problem." he pointed out.

"And I also presume you'll pay me well." he said with a quick grin.

She put a poster in front of him - with bounty offered. "You know, before Chandler shot Scarecrow, this type of thing just would not be an open bounty for anyone to try to handle. Now there's this thought that maybe all the costumed crazies just aren't that dangerous. It's not an opinion I share. People going after her -" She says, pointing to the poster. "Get killed. You can't be sloppy or treat this as someone running to his momma from a dealing rap. That's why I want to try to give you a head start. Word is you have experience with this type of weed."

[bronze_tiger]

"Been around the block a time or two." He looked at the poster, racking his brain. "Eisley..." he mused. "Wait. Isn't this the toxic plant chick?" he asked.

No way was he going after her solo.

[jla_extras]

"Yes, and she's confirmed to have left Gotham after getting into the evidence room and stealing Chandler's personnel file. We can't verify what she took from the evidence room, but she killed a few shields on the way in and out. She also left town the same time the cop that brought down Scarecrow went missing."

[bronze_tiger]

"So if she left town doesn't that put her out of your juristiction?" he asked with a slight grin. Still, the money'd be damned useful and someone like Poison Ivy needed to go away for a very long time.

"Got any hazmat gear you can source over to me?" he asked. "Eisley's toxicity is well-known and I tend to solve problems with my fists. And that reminds me - you want her dead or alive?"

[jla_extras]

"And into the hands of a jurisdiction that has less ways of dealing with her."

"HazMat suit, sure. But you did not get one of our special riot suits from me, got it? As for that, it's sort of a tiered assignment. We want our cop, first and foremost if the Plant has her. After that, alive if you can, but we aren't going to sweat not having this crazy back."

[bronze_tiger]

"Gotcha." he said. "I'm still going to want some backup on this one, but the less you know, the less you can reveal under oath." he said with a grin. "Leave me an advance against the bounty and get me the hazmat gear. I'll handle things on my end."

[jla_extras]

"Take who you want so long as it won't endanger any arrest you make." She chucks a thumb out the door. "As for that - step into my 'office.' That would be the trunk of the car outside."

[bronze_tiger]

He glanced at the clock. Still had a little time. "Well, I showed you mine, now you get to show me yours." he joked as he stood up to head outside to the waiting car.
