Stakeout
Who: Batgirl and Red Robin
NPCs: Street Demonz, Suzie Li, and other unsavory types.
Where: Outside a crappy apartment complex in Midtown.
When: August 28th, 2012. Backdated to five days after Cass' bonding moment with Tim, and shortly before Nightwing comes to get her.
What: Batgirl and Red Robin team up to protect the girlfriend of Big K, the man Batgirl's been trying to find.
Rating: R for violence, possible language.
Status: In progress.
Word had gotten out that Christopher "Big K" King, one of the Street Demonz, had been at the scene of Bruce Wayne's murder in Park Row. Word on the street also had it that there was an Asian woman also briefly present at the scene. Most Park Row residents had figured out that Cassandra Cain was the woman in question, especially once she had vanished after taking Wayne's to the Clinic. Park Row residents were fairly close-knit, and they protected their own, which meant they refused to share this information with anyone who asked.
The problem was, they also refused to tell the Street Demonz this. Big K had been AWOL since that night as well, with only vague and conflicting rumors about where he was. This left the Demonz to draw their own conclusions about where he might have been, and who "that Asian bitch" was. They started to assume that the woman was Suzie Li, the mother of Big K's unborn child.
This led Batgirl and Red Robin to their current stakeout. They were posted on a rooftop acroos from Li's apartment complex, with a view of her apartment window. They'd discovered that Big K's gang had been visiting Li on a regular basis, demanding to know about Big K's whereabouts. They didn't believe her insistence that she didn't know, and each visit had been progressively more forceful.
Batgirl watched the window through binoculars, while Robin covered the street. She could feel his presence right next to her; it was as loaded with unresolved tension as hers was. They hadn't discussed what'd happened the other morning -- choosing instead to focus on business -- but neither had forgotten it.
