With help from Alfred and Robin, Nightwing investigates possible routes which could lead from the outside world into the Batcave. After many false avenues, he finally finds a route from a derilect barn into the Cave. He also discovers things along the way that helped the intruder go undetected, and Robin finds a fibre at the entrance which may have come off the clothes worn by the intruder. Meanwhile, in Bludhaven, corrupt cops Hicks and Richter try to make Rohrbach an accessory to theft and murder - they suggest killing a drug dealer and stealing his ill-gotten gains. They threaten to get her 'killed in the cross-fire', but in the end, it's her that walks away from the scene.
