"Sorry. Caught me at a bad time." Dick excused.
"I thought you'd be on a beach, sipping on a Piña Colada by now."
"Yeah, something like that. What's up?" Dick asked.
"Forensics came back on the Roth murder weapon. There are prints, but they don't belong to your girl Rachel Roth. Traverse City PD called for you this morning about her."
"About Rachel?"
"They had an intruder at the Roth crime scene. African American female. Maybe six foot. Magenta hair. Apparently she assaulted several officers. BOLO came back with a match on her at a gas station up your way off the 495. Security cameras caught her leaving with a girl matching the description of Rachel Roth. And she left behind a body."
"I'm on my way." Dick informed.
"And, Grayson, one more thing. About Rohrbach.. She's dead... Murdered." And with that, the phone hung up.
Someone's Dick's partner for not even a week and they get murdered. Someone was keeping tabs.
"Jules—" Dick started, thinking she had fallen asleep.
"I heard." Juliet murmured, the clear exhaustion in her tone worried Dick and Daniel as he just put his phone back in his pocket, putting his hand on her back as he walked with Daniel.
"Look, I know you kind of want to find Rachel, and so does Daniel and I, but, really, you gotta eat, Jules." Dick shared his concern to the girl.
"I'm fine." Juliet shrugged off. "We find Rachel." She stated, almost determined to find her despite the way she acts towards her. All cold and distant. Daniel knew Juliet meant what she said, and he sighed.
"We find Rachel, and then you eat, yes?" He questions, getting a tired hum and nod, making him exhale deeply. "Then we find Rachel."
Dick pulled up to the gas station of the crime scene where that woman with magenta hair and Rachel were last spotted as he turned to Daniel and Juliet with his mouth opening, going to speak but stopped when he saw Juliet had fallen asleep.She needed this sleep by the bags under her eyes. So instead of saying anything, he just looked at Daniel and nodded his head, making the teen boy nod. He kept his keys in the ignition and turned the heat up so Juliet didn't get cold, knowing how it would affect her. It was snowing outside.
The two Graysons got out of the car quickly, closing the door shut as neither of them wanted the cold air to wake Julie up. Dick flashed his badge to the police that were there, getting a pass to go through the caution tape.
The two walked towards a broken wall with burnt edges. Daniel hummed and tilted his head, wondering what could've caused this. He looked to his left, seeing coroners zipping a body which made him start to walk towards them, Dick following after him.
