Resurgence
A wise man once wrote that the number one killer of old people is retirement.
He never should have left active duty. He never should have quit, no matter how much his wife's murder pained him. Today is proof: with the arrival of a box of cold case files from GCPD, Jim Gordon feels a resurgence of energy that teaching would never bring. He is a detective born and bred, and a lifetime committed to the investigation of crimes and pursuit of criminals cannot be squelched so easily. Not with him.
Alas, he has heard nothing from the Batman since his rescue from Slade Wilson, nor has he puzzled out why he was chosen as a pawn to lure his old friend into a nonlethal trap...and for a million dollars?
The Bat is on the case and, if he needs help, he'll call. It's happened before, albeit rarely.
Jim makes himself comfortable on the sofa at home, opens the box and peers inside. "Let's see what we have here..." And he smiles the smile of youth and enthusiasm. Barbara would be pleased.
