The assignments were split. The catering staff went to Robin. The decorating staff went to Nightwing. The in-house security he took for himself.
No hits. Not even a suspicious "new hire". It meant one thing. No inside help. Joker and his goons would go it alone.
With four hours left to spare, the trio makes its way to the Gotham City Convention Center. It's a grand structure, built in the gothic style common to the city. Gargoyles adorn it's flat roof line. Giant glass windows crown its second floor. A flood of light escapes the room. From their perch across the street, they can see the room is already outfitted with tables, chairs, a stage, and a plethora of decorations. Music equipment is set up but no band members can be seen. There's already security and greeters stationed at the front door.
The chances that Joker will show with an invitation in hand... Zero.
