Description
Carrie sitting by herself looks stares at the screen at the computer. A banner headline reads: THOMAS WAYNE MURDERED Prominent Doctor & Wife slain in robbery Unidentified gunman leave only child unharmed!
"Thomas Wayne Murdered. Only Child Survives." Carrie said.
Carrie read beneath it a photo: Cops kneeling over corpses. Medics with stretchers. And off to one side, a young boy-Bruce Wayne-his arms wrapped around the waist of a beat cop.
Boy stares at the camera-a mask of unforgettable agony.
"Oh my God... his parents were murdered in that alley. That's why he went there. It was the anniversary of their death." Carrie said.
