ENGLISH BOOK
Another day passes and Sasha Bordeaux
is taken to the interrogation room once again, where the D.A. offers
her a chance to tell the truth and free herself by blaming Bruce Wayne for the murder of Vesper Fairchild. Sasha refuses once again, despite the fact that this is the last chance she is given to confess. Meanwhile, in the men's holding cells of Blackgate Penitentiary, Bruce feels pathetically useless as the Bat-Signal beacons in the night sky of Gotham City
and yet he can't answer the summoning and there's also the fact that he
has to play dumb innocent among every kind of criminals in Blackgate,
which makes him an easy target for many of them. During breakfast, Bruce is approached by three men belonging to
the Aryan group and "offered" Bruce protection in exchange of money, but
Bruce refused, which in turn made them angry and they attacked Bruce.
Keeping up with Bruce Wayne's appearance, Bruce allows them to hit him
until the guards appear. That night on his cell, Bruce has to listen to
the constant bullying and mean words towards him and his family. The next day, the inmates are watching the TV and the news are
all about Bruce Wayne's trouble mind as a result of his traumatic past
experience as he watched his parents get murdered in front of him at the
age of nine and how that event turned him into a disturbed man that he
might also be a killer. Bruce loses his patience by the second and he
starts looking more grim and somber towards the criminals threatening
him; much more like his alter ego. That night, Bruce decides that it is
time to act. The next day, Bruce is visited by Alfred
and they start talking about regular stuff as there is a guard really
close to them, preventing them from speaking important matters. Bruce
starts tapping the table really hard and Alfred finally notices that
Bruce has been sending him a message in Morse code this whole time.
Alfred understands the message and gets on his way to do whatever was
that Bruce told him. That night, the three men from the Aryan group payed one of the
guards to open their cells and Bruce's one. They sneak into Bruce's cell
with the intention of beating Bruce and use him as their personal toy.
However, as soon as they notice that there are no lights on Bruce's
cell, they know something's wrong but it's too late. Bruce grabs the
three of them and destroys them. Bruce is so enraged that he trashes his
cell with their bodies and by the time the guards appear, all three of
them were barely alive and Bruce is subdued by many of the Blackgate
guards. The next day, the news about Bruce Wayne going berserk and
sending three men to the infirmary on Blackgate has reached the front
page of the Gotham Gazette, which is only bad news for Sasha Bordeaux.
