She shook her head with a slight frown. "That's a negatory...
"Usually when someone is late in showing up to work I wouldn't over-react and look into something. it could just be traffic or whatever... but I've known Renee for far too long. This.. isn't like her.. and she always shows up twenty minutes early and has never missed a day of work...
"Except when she had been in the hospital for a gunshot wound.. but that's really the only time.
"hence... why my suspicion level is heightened a bit."

''Alright...Do you have an address for her so I can check it out and see if she is there?" Dinah jumps on her bike and starts it up. "or any hang outs or friends that she may have stayed at?"

Joker Posted: May 16, 2007 5:41 PM
When Joker arrived back at his hideout Montoya was still unconscious in the trunk. He pulled her out and threw her over his shoulder, slammed the trunk shut, and carried her into the room he was keeping Essen's remains in. He set her upright in a chair and duct taped her arms and legs to it. Then for good measure he wrapped the rest of the tape around her chest and stomach to keep her from wiggling and one piece over her mouth to keep her silent.
After she was completely restrained he crossed the room and took a seat in the shadows just watching her, waiting for her to wake up. When she finally regained consciousness and realized she was restrained, panic fell over her quickly. After watching her struggle a moment Joker finally laughed and instantly Montoya froze. She knew who was in the room with her... and he knew she knew. And she knew he knew she knew. And he knew she knew he... you get the point.
"Hey, Renee. Long time, huh? You lost weight?"
Montoya didn't make a sound, her eyes darting around the room, looking for the man who was speaking to her. Joker finally walked out of the shadows and straight up to her. He spun her chair around and her eyes locked on to the decomposed body in front of her.
"You remember my friend Sarah, right?"

"I don't exactly have an appropriate fix on his or Montoya's whereabouts--"
Barbara drummed her fingers against her desk and shook her head. "So maybe you should just start in the three or four mile radius from the police station. Use that as a starter beacon and branch out. Maybe your eyes will catch something just by scanning around."
Barbara paused a moment and leaned back into her chair. "First Joker and now this..." she sighed. "I wonder what else this day is going to bring up..."

"okay" Dinah could sense something in Barbara's voice. "is there anything else? I mean is everything okay?" She fired up her bike and headed for the police station.

Hearing Dinah's concerned voice she shook her head clear. "Hmm? Oh.. no.. I'm just.... No.. it's nothing. I mean it's just that something seems a little 'off.' You know? Maybe a bit moreso than normal... though, I can't put my finger on it."

"Alright well you know I am here if you need to talk or anything...." Dinah gets to the location and checks the perimeter. "Oracle i've checked everything out and talked to a few neighbors and no one has seen her or heard anything. I checked her apartment and it doesn't seem like she came home last night."

Barbara's eyes narrowed as she watched her screen. none of this was making sense. "Are you sure about her apartment, Dinah? Did it look like there was any sign of a struggle there... or anything of the sort?
"Just hearing about that type of behavior about Montoya just doesn't seem plausible..."
She inhaled and typed something into her computer and switched on her speakers. The familiar sound of a waiting ring came through for a few moments, before being followed by Renee's answering service
"No one's answering her phone either...
"I'm going to try and get into the system and calibrate to see when she last had activity on her phone--"

Joker took the tape off Montoya to let her say hi to Sarah, but neither were very talkative. After hearing Montoya scream at the realization at who the corpse once was, Joker felt very satisfied. After she was through screaming, though, she started cussing, and Joker just wouldn't stand for that. He slapped some more tape on her mouth.
"That's not very ladylike you know."
Joker took a seat on the floor near Montoya and just stared at her.
"Huh, how 'bout that. Harv was right. You are kind of a looker, aren't you? Anyway, I was thinking... you should help me choose my next victim!"
The cop's eyes widened and then narrowed, looking at the pure evil sitting in front of her.
"What? No opinion? Okay, guess I'll have to settle for that big fella... what's his name? Bully? Bullox? Bullock! That's it. Don't you go anywhere, Renee. I'll be right back."

"no there was no sign of a struggle, in fact everything is in place and looks normal. The only reason I don't think she has been home all night is that the coffee pot is full. She probably has it set on a timer to make it every morning but this morning she didn't take any. When did she get off of work last night? Doe she have any boyfriends or anyone she might have stayed with overnight?"

Barbara sat in silence for a moment, pondering Dinah's coffee pot theory. It all pretty much seemed logical to her. "Not that I've known. Though.. Montoya getting a boyfriend... for as unlikely as that probably would be, I have a feeling that it wouldn't be the case."
Rubbing her temples she sighed. This whole mini sweep was turning up next to nothing. The only thing it really seemed to be turning up were more and more questions. "Do you think you can do a tighter scan around her apartment building and around the police station once more? Use your starlite focal lenses and infered-- see if you're able to pick up on any unwarranted heat signatures or... something that may be a bit too obscure from plain eye-sight."

"alright" Dinah sighed and started doing a more thorough scan of the apartment and surrounding buildings turning up nothing. "there is nothing here Barbara, I'm going to head back to the station." She quickly jumped on her bike and took off to Gotham PD. As she parked her Bike she noticed something in the corner of her eye. She quickly turned and headed down the direction of what looked like a car covered in plastic. "hey Barbara what is Montoya's license plate number?"

Barbara pulled off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose. Why were there so many loose ends that couldn't be accounted for?
She was starting to run a headache..
Hearing Canary's voice over her system, she blinked. "It's.... um-- let me check."
Popping onto the Gotham DMV's records she typedin the required information and watched as her page loaded with the information needed.
"Gotham City plates with the plate number of Victor, Delta, four, Beta, six, three.
"Why--? Did you come across something?"

"yeah her car is still in the parking lot and is covered in what appears to be saran wrap...." Dinah started looking around. "seems as though someone didn't want her getting into her car."

Barbara's nose scrunched up a bit in question.
Seran wrap?
If anything it sounded like it could be marked off as a prank by some teenagers. After all, they did do that kind of thing to people's cars on a semi-regular basis. Especially if they were trying to get a laughable bit of revenge back at that particular person.
"Maybe some of the boys-in-blue thought it would be funny to wrap the car.... but... if that happened... wouldn't they do that a little before the time she was about to get off work instead of the opposite? That would make more sense to me..."
Barbara frowned at that and once again hit the "dial" button on her computer. She was hoping to get some sort of answer from Renee's cell phone as a last-desperate chance to reach her.
Little did Barbara know, Renee's cell phone was chirping a few feet from where Dinah was standing.
