CHAPTER

5

The following day, Robin had the car waiting outside the casino, just as Ed had instructed. As before, Ed stashed some cash in the back and then had Robin drive off. Along the way, it was one fake deduction after another, and Robin failed again.

For the next several days, Ed had Robin meet him at places like the Money Factory and even the end of the rainbow—where they encountered a very angry leprechaun. Ed would steal and Robin would drive, over and over again.

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, the demon that had escaped from Raven poked its head up from a manhole, wearing the cover like a hat. When it saw the Teen Titans sitting outside at a local coffee shop, the demon fled, not wanting to get caught.

At the table, Cyborg extended his telescopic eye right at Starfire, whom he still didn’t recognize.

“How about you just tell me who you are?” Cyborg said to her. “We went to school together, right? You look a lot like my cousin. Did we eat at the same restaurant the other night?”

Starfire didn’t know what to say.

Raven just rolled her eyes. Then, suddenly, she spotted someone familiar across the street in front of a jewelry store.

“Hey, is that Robin?” asked Raven.

The others looked over. It was indeed Robin, sitting behind the wheel of a car.

“Huh,” said Beast Boy. “He’s supposed to be meeting his driver’s ed instructor. I don’t know why he’s in front of a jewelry store.”

Wee-o! Wee-o! Wee-o!

The alarm at the Diamonds Aplenty jewelry store rang out. The Teen Titans watched as a man carrying a stash of stolen cash and diamonds jumped into the car’s passenger seat.

“Looks like it’s because Robin’s the getaway driver,” said Raven.

Starfire’s eyes became wide. “Surely Robin is not aware he is aiding and abetting a criminal.”

Cyborg stood up. “Well, that’s why we’ve got to warn him!”
