The story begins with Batman entering the penthouse apartment of Silver St. Cloud, socialite and girlfriend to Bruce Wayne. Silver is startled, but nevertheless allows Batman inside. As the two lock eyes, Batman confirms to himself that the events of last night proved that Silver does indeed know his secret identity. He questions Silver further about it, but she simply continues denying that she had ever spoken to him before this night. Batman considers taking off his mask to end the game once and for all, but in the end, decides against it, and leaves.
