ENGLISH BOOK

The Gotham City Fire Department tries their best to rescue all the people trapped inside the burning building in Park Row, while they also try to contain the fire from spreading, but there is still too many people that won't be saved unless someone else joins the rescuing efforts. Robin gets inside the building, wearing a special suit to resist the fire that is consuming the place. Soon, he locates a baby and a girl trapped on one of the apartments and without wasting any time, he takes them away from the fire just when the building starts collapsing, piece by piece. The firefighters know that they have to retreat, but just then their radio is hacked by Batman, who has gathered a bunch of people on the rooftop of the building and tells the firefighters to set up their rescuing nets as the survivors are going to drop down to safety. The people starts dropping one at a time and before they're all done, an old lady informs Batman that there are some girls trapped in one of the rooms below. The news are reporting the events live on TV and Penguin is informed about the events. He turns on the TV on his private room at the Iceberg Lounge and learns that Batman is at the scene, which causes him to tighten up his security measures and inform his people about the situation.

Batman locates the room with the screaming girls and breaks the door down only to find a grim scene. Robin is waiting on the front building, not worrying about his partner. However, when the building collapses entirely, Robin worries for a second, after which he noticed Batman is already safe on the rooftop of the front building. Robin climbs to meet Batman and soon he discovers that Batman has carried the body of a pregnant woman to the rooftop. Batman had already called the police and in a few minutes, Sargeant Frank Ivers and Detective Elliot Lynch arrive at the rooftop. Batman tells them that the woman is the only thing he could retrieve from the burning building before it collapsed. He also explains that there were some other pregnant girls and that it looked like they were all kidnapped and forced to stay in the building. The officers tried to blame Batman for meddling with police evidence and with a final warning, Batman placed a bug michophone on Ivers' coat.

A few hours later, the media is informing about the police discovery and a woman named Marlene Welles is intrigued by the fact that there were found dead bodies of young pregnant girls. Marlene can't help but deduce that her daughter, who ran away from home after she got pregnant was among the dead girls…
