Having confirmed the conclusion to which she had arrived, Cassandra left the scene. Bounding across the rooftops, she fired a line off using the grapnel gun, letting the tiny titanium triweave fiber hoist her weight up and over a billboard, spreading her cape out as a way to let the sudden rush of wind drag her to a manageable speed. Black-Bat's next destination wasn't far from here, as she had prioritized her night based on concurrent cases. While the "Suicide Killer" case was her first one without Bruce's guidance, it wasn't the only open case she had.

Two nights ago, shortly after The Black Mask's breakout from Blackgate prison, many of Bruce's rogues gallery ended up escaping. In order to prevent another "Knightfall" scenario, Bruce had assigned each member of the Batfamily a set number of the villains to neutralize and apprehend. Bruce Himself was currently operating on a case with Red Hood, and Damian was partnered with Richard. She had caught Victor Zsaz. Tracking the serial killer was proving to be more of a challenge than she had originally anticipated, as he had no real set victimology or modus operandi, and the only real way to track his kills was the tally marks he placed on his own flesh. 

But even a ghost leaves footprints, as Cassandra could tell from her own experiences. With a man like Victor Zsaz, what you needed to start with was the last known victim, and then work forward from there. Because Cassandra suffered from pronounced dyslexia, she compensated by using the Batcomputer with vocal commands and enabling text to speech. Calling up Zsaz's last publically recorded victim, she learned that his name was Seth DuPraix, a GCR sound tech. No known ties to any of Gotham's myriad criminal organizations. Unfortunately, during his escape and the two days that he had been free, the overtaxed and understaffed GCPD had recorded at least two more suspected Zsaz killings, although in all likelihood, the number was probably closer to four or five. 

She had to stop him, that much was clear; if not for the numerous lives he had taken then for the countless lives she could still protect.
