Summary
“What is it, Bruce?” asked Barbara impatiently, “You said it was important.”
“Not important enough to tell me,” scoffed Dick.
“It IS important,” confirmed Bruce, ignoring Dick, “The Cluemaster has escaped from prison.”
The tension across the room tightened. Barbara sighed uncomfortably as Stephanie froze up, staring at her feet. Dick looked to Alfred for an explanation, but the butler simply looked as tense and distressed as the rest of them.
“When?” asked Stephanie suddenly.
“Hours ago,” said Bruce.
“Someone want to fill me in?” asked Dick after another moment of uncomfortable silence.
“I’m afraid the Cluemaster,” explained Alfred, “is Miss Stephanie’s father.”
Dick nodded in understanding. Now Bruce’s choice in Stephanie actually made a little bit more sense. She wasn’t just some vigilante, she had that good old parental baggage that Bruce was so fond of.
