Nightwing - What kind of work?

Zsasz - You’d like to know wouldn’t you?
Zsasz - Kinda easy if you put the pieces together.
3 - Nightwing is now showing his anger and smacks Zsasz across the face again with his stick.
Nightwing - WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?
4 - Zsasz is now crawling to his feet, he may be getting his butt handed to him but that doesn’t change his psychotic attitude.
Zsasz - Can’t tell...
5 - Zsasz turns around sharply and throws a knife into Nightwing’s leg.
Zsasz - ...it’s a SECRET!
Nightwing - Ahhhhhh!

Caption - Just when I thought my night had gotten bad.
Caption - It gets worse.
