The bat comes knocking

*slam * detective Stacy slams his hand in frustration, it had been four weeks, a whole month since this alleged demon began roaming the streets and they were no closer to figuring who he was. The were no pictures or videos but every one new he existed, he was some sort of urban myth...

The only thing that allowed detective George Stacy to even believe that he existed, was the fact that almost every guy they apprehended over the past month claimed to have seen him. Some people claimed to have been have saved by him as well... but the most prominent evidence was what his partner preffered to call as the batarang for some damn reason.

Detective George sat in his seat thinking when his partner barged in, "George! We got a lead on the bat demon.

At Club Verdant, later that night.

"Scram! the higher ups are pissed and you idiots can't get this a****** what do I even pay you idiots for. Out!" Antione was extremely pissed. For some reason, somone or something had been going after his warehouses and the higher ups were breathing down his neck.

He had been carrying out investigations, all the people he had spoken to kept talking about some giant bat total nutcases the lot of them. Antoine continued to drink his sorrows away when he heard a bang followed by screams as well gunshots. Antoine as well as the guys in the room took out their guns prepared for whatever, then there was silence... the silence served to heighten their senses.

*Boom * the door was blasted open and they all hoisted their guns at the fog which for some god damn reason was in the club. A object rolled in drawing their attention it began blinking with blue light, before anyone could react there was a bang followed by a sound which disoriented everyone.

Antoine had been a criminal for years but what he saw that night.... he had never seen something like that. It was the creature that had been in the nightmares of his men.

It walked out of the fog with two points from its head, every step it took did nothing but plant a deep seeded fear in them. It moved with a knee one of my men was out, quickly spinning around its elbow was in my man's throat and in a minute all my men were down.

When it was done it walked over them coming to me, I picked a gun by the side and aimed at him emptying my gun but the bullets just bounced of and there I saw something that made my heart drop to my stomach. The already present frown became deeper, it grabbed and rose him by his collar, " you have been storing narcotics in your warehouses and transporting them who do you work for? " it asked in a deep voice.

"I ain't telling you Sh*t?" I spat in it's face it actually messed up my business and dared to question me. It paused for a minute then slammed me through the ceiling to floor windows behind me, I looked down. I was 20 floors high, if I fell.... as I thought this he actually took away an arm holding me up with just one and I held on for dear life.

"Once more who do you work for?" , I kept quiet but with each second I felt his grip loosen and finally I gave up " wait wait, I don't know man I just get alerts when they want something.... " " who's they?" " I don't know. " His grip loosened once more and I knew if it loosened any more I was dead. " Okay the list!the list! pull me up! " "what list?" " pull me up! please " He kept silent but I knew if I didn't say I wasn't making it out of here

"It's a list of the people I work with and some higher ups now pull me up! please!" " where is it?" " It's in my drawer pull me up..." "Freeze!"

Detective George Stacy P.O.V

We made it to the place, Matt discovered all the warehouses that had been hit by the bat belonged to a guy called Antoine. *Ding* the elevator arrived at the 20th floor but what we saw was not the Club scene we expected the place was a mess and it was clear our guy was here.

Matt called for back up as we headed in, as we headed in we heard a voice. The voice was scary I admit and it seemed to be questioning. We arrived in, " Freeze!" before us stood a 6ft tall man dressed in a bat costume,"bring the guy in nice and slow." The batman paused he flung Antoine in as well as a flash bang, with a bang we were blinded.

When we regained our vision he was gone.
