- at the base of his skull.
“It fell on my head?”
“Yeah, kid said it was unbelievable, just knocked you clean out as you fired…”
Dudley sighed, and that hurt.
“I guess you want my badge and gun…”
“Let’s see how Bergstresser does, yeah. Plenty of ways to play this game, Saomes.”

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

“…. oowww… what the hell.”
“Welcome back, detective.”
Dudley look up painful. Two BCPD beside… a hospital bed. He was in hospital?
“What happened?”
“You got into an altercation with that reporter, @TedBergstresser…”
Dudley remembered. That guy, always…
“Wait… did I shoot -

- baseball bat that fell from the rafters…”
“Baseball bat?”
“Yeah, we spoke to the one witness… what’s his name… Richard Grayson (@BludhavensOwn). Said a baseball bat fell from the rafters, clean on your head…”
There was an awful pain now that they mentioned it, but it was -

Voice of a Generation Silenced: @TedBergstresser Shot in Downtown Bar

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@TedBergstresser @BludhavensOwn Falling off his chair, blood spraying across his face, Dudley managed to land on his feet in a squat, drawing his Glock 19. He spun round, facing the reporter.

"Blüdhaven Police! Calm the fuck down, or I’ll shoot!"

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@TedBergstresser @BludhavensOwn "Is there a problem?" he asked quietly through clenched teeth, leaning forward.

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@TedBergstresser @BludhavensOwn Dudley stared at him.

"Did you make a complaint?"

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@TedBergstresser "Someone got ambushed," Dudley said as he walked into the bar with a laugh.

"Dick, a scotch," he said to the barman (@BludhavensOwn).

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

“All I goddamn need.”

Gotham City Violence Spills Out Across The Burnside Bridge: Will The Escalating Drive-By Shootings Reach Blüdhaven

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@TedBergstresser @BludhavensOwn @MetropolisEagle @CatGrantShow @ScienceCops Dudley knocked back his bourbon and tapped the glass on the table.

“I’ll have someone make the necessary arrangements. Nice meeting you.” He stood and left, walking slowly. “Night, Dick,” he said to the barman, sliding the glass across the bar.

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

It had been a long shift and Dudley knew he would not be able to settle unless he had a couple of stiff drinks.

He walked to Hogan’s.

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@TedBergstresser @BludhavensOwn @MetropolisEagle @CatGrantShow Wiseguy.

“I read you went on a shift with those jumped up punks in hockey pads, the @ScienceCops. You want to ride around with some real cops?”

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@TedBergstresser @BludhavensOwn Dudley nodded, didn’t reply.

“You work with the @MetropolisEagle.” He wasn’t asking. “You got screwed over by that @CatGrantShow. Nasty business.”

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@TedBergstresser @BludhavensOwn @MetropolisEagle Dudley sat down, looking directly at the reporter. That was a face that had lived many lives. The lingering remains of a good tan, too. Had travelled.

“I pride myself on picking up accents. North Blüdhaven?”

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@TedBergstresser @BludhavensOwn @MetropolisEagle He coughed. “You mind if I join you?”

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@BludhavensOwn Dudley took another look around the bar, a few steps and saw a guy in one of the booths, that scruffy looking reporter for the @MetropolisEagle, @TedBergstresser.

He took his drink and walked over. “You mind?” he asked nodding at the empty seat before him.

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@BludhavensOwn “A bourbon.” A look around the bar. “Quiet night.”

[Dudley Soames @DudleySoames]

@DelmoreRedhorn Soames left the office, slamming the door behind him. He ignored the looks from the other officers around him, marching quickly from the precinct before he hit someone.
