35

There was a ticket made of card stock inside the envelope. Batman held it in his gloved hands. The ticket read:

BONUS BROTHERS
CARNIVAL AND AMUSEMENT PARK
ADMIT ONE

He turned it over. There was a handwritten note on the back, in loopy purple crayon letters.

With Compliments

Batman’s eyes narrowed, fist crushing the ticket.

The big top.

He left the roof, the crumpled ticket on the ledge as Bullock watched him descend on his grapple line toward the idling Batmobile.
