[ He could hear her voice in through the comm and knew the second she opened her mouth they'd lost her. Damnit. He would never have another opportunity like this. If they didn't recover that drive, his lead on the White Portuguese would dry up.
He glances back at the party, at the stairs leading to the server room. It'd been a risk the first time. A second attempt wouldn't be wise. It would take too much time. He would have to come back with the suit. Alfred is in his ear telling him as much. Their only chance would be to find that woman.
He slips back into the crowd, cutting through smoothly until he's close to Dick again. ]
[ damnit. tension pulls through Dick's jaw as Bruce approaches him, weaving through like crowd like it's not there at all. to anyone else, Bruce's displeasure might be invisible, but Dick sees it loud and clear.
he tucks the card into the pocket of his pressed trousers, folding in his hand after it. ]
I couldn't stop her. [ the apology hangs just on his tongue. ] Do you know her? How'd she pull that by both of us?
[ It wasn't Dick's fault. Not really. He wasn't trying to blame him. There'd just been something about that woman. Something Bruce hadn't quite figured out and it intrigued him. ]
No. I've never seen her before.
[ As for how she pulled this off? Bruce didn't have an answer. Frustratingly enough. ]
[ Dick doesnโt say anything to that. Bruce is clearly intrigued, he would recognize that frustrated curiosity anywhere.
and Dick isnโt sure how to really feel about it.
the car rolls up and they slip into the vehicle. Dick is already running footage on his device, pulling camera angles with Bruce watching over his shoulders until he facial recognition catches onto something. ]
[ They leave the party and Bruce doesn't have much to say. He's glad to be out of there and he begins pulling his tie free the second they're out of sight of the other partygoers.
Dick gets his attention and watches him as he runs through the security footage. He sees the woman through it all and watches her as she takes the tether and puts it in her purse. He sees her when she locks eyes with him and then makes her way toward the exit. It annoys him greatly.
He's glad there's a hit in the facial recognition software. ]
Diana Prince. She's a curator at the Louvre. There's going to be a showing at the Gotham Museum in a few weeks. I wonder if our mystery woman will make an appearance.

No worries!
