Narrative: The Bars Rattle Who: Aidan Hunter NPCs: n/a Where: Gotham PD When: October 8th, 2012 What: Aidan does a bit of detective work on the mental flashes from here Rating: PG
Aidan only had pieces of possible information. Where they memories? He remembered the doctors saying that his memories may or may not come back. And if some did – it could come back in flashes. And perhaps in the presence of ‘familiar’ stimuli.
East End apartment building, second floor, third window. Math homework, drug use, and a name – ‘Jason’.
“So it was a middle or lower class family. A kid with math homework. One big enough to climb through that window. An adult sized bed. Chaotic home life. And an name – Jason,” Aidan spoke softly to himself as he read over his notes and added more to it. Something was starting to turn his stomach. But he pressed on and began typing away on his computer – accessing records and the like from different city resources.
The address and apartment number produced a swath of former tenants. But Aidan narrowed it down to at least a three-person household with a public school age male. It narrowed it down to five.
Okay. Let’s put in the name ‘Jason’ Aidan thought to himself and typed in the first name.
[1] RESULT – JASON TODD [DOB: 22 June 1988] [DOD: 28 October 2006] [COD: LOST AT SEA]
Aidan blinked at the result. The death date – six years ago. So this kid died at sea. Wow. He had woken up delirious for moment in a Swiss hospital and then passed out only to wake up a week later in a US hospital. Grabbing his note pad, Aidan hurriedly wrote down the name, the dates, and then pressed the computer system for more information.
[MOTHER: CATHERINE TATE TODD ] [DOB: 15 MARCH 1974] [DOD: 2 JULY 2002][RESIDENCE: N/A] [FATHER: WILLIS JACKSON TODD] [DOB: 31 JULY 1970] [DOD:__________] [RESIDENCE: BLACKGATE PRISON – 586452]
Jason Todd’s mother died ten years ago and his father was alive but in prison. Aidan scribbled down the information on Willis Todd. Would Willis have been informed of his son’s death? Perhaps.
Then Aidan thought of something. He had to rule it out. Curiosity. Logging out of the computer system, he snatched up his pen, notepad, cell, and got up. He swiftly went into the supply area and pocketed something before slipping out of the office.
