Catching I Bruce Wayne

III

From the moment Skylar left Roy's office everything happened like a blur to her. She hopped on to a cab, rushed home and started gathering her belongings. Since she moved in here just about four months ago she didn't have much stuff, making it easier for her to gather.

In about half an hour she was ready. All of her clothes were stuffed in one huge suitcase and two duffel bags. She had to boxes for her books and accessories. After packing them she took out the money she had been saving for the last few months.

She had about fifteen grand. Since she was leaving unnoticed she decided to pay her share of next month's rent along with this month in order to not leave Ashley and Crystal in a tough place.

Obviously the girls were rather surprised with Skylar's sudden move. She had explained that she had gotten a call from her parents, it was a family emergency and that she needed to move back to Central City. Since she put it like that the girls couldn't argue and wished her the best of luck.

When she had gotten out of the apartment she came face to face with the same men from earlier, the guy who approached her in the coffee shop. "Miss Jones, allow me to help," he said, grabbing the suitcase and the boxes.

Within an hour from Bruce Wayne's phone call, Skylar was in a car being driven out of the Metropolis city limits. Up until that point, the adrenalin kept her from thinking clearly, she was only action motivated.

But now that she had a moment to breathe, more like a couple of hours, concerns came flying to her mind. She didn't think this through. What was she going to say to her parents? What about her school?

She was still a student at Metropolis University. What about her tuition, would she be able to get her transfer, would Gotham University even accept her?

What if Roy didn't care about what Bruce told him on the phone and decided to go after her parents anyway? He worked for Steven Mandragora, what if he wasn't afraid of Bruce Wayne? What on earth Bruce even told him on the phone anyway?

What if she made a mistake, an impulsive decision and she messed everything up even further?

As thoughts crept in Skylar's mind and time passed by she drifted to sleep. It was around 7 pm when they left Metropolis and the drive took about five hours.

Around midnight the driver woke her up by gently shaking her shoulder. " Miss Jones, we have arrived," he said. Skylar nodded, sitting up and getting her bags. The guy got her suitcase and boxes and walked to the building.

She didn't know where they were going but she followed him. They got on to the elevator and started going up. They got off on the twenty-fifth floor and started walking again. "Um, excuse me, where are we?" Skylar asked the guy.

" The place Mr.Wayne has prepared for you, it's one of the plaza's he owns, he's rented one of the condos here for you," the men explained. Skylar followed the man in shock. This place was luxurious, one of those places where rich people lived mostly.

The idea that Bruce Wayne went this far for her really made Skylar wonder. In truth, he had so much money the amount of money he had spent for Skylar was nothing to him but it still made her wonder, why would he go in all that trouble?

They stopped in front of a door, with the door number W2556, and the guy put up a card to the lock and the door opened. He left Skylar's belongings inside the entrance, muttered a goodnight and left.

Skylar went inside, closed the door walked in. In the immediate entrance was a small closet with mirrors on front. Upon walking was a living room with the kitchen attached to its right side. On the left, beyond the couches and the TV, was a small but cute balcony.
