"So, Fenris," Expletive Deleted began, "this is where the scent leads you?"

Strangely enough, Fenris had led Expletive Deleted and Sir Tim Drake to the local Dairy Queen.

"Yep!" Fenris yapped. "He's right in there! I can smell him!" Fenris began to smile and drool. Smells of strawberries and chocolate syrup danced through his olfactory receptors.

Expletive Deleted gave Sir Tim Drake a pained grimace. Sir Tim Drake returned it politely. Fenris bounded forward and leaped through the window, breaking the glass, eager to chow down.

"What the heck?" asserted Expletive Deleted. "I'll treat you to a sundae."

Sir Tim smiled, and the two happily followed Fenris, although they had the common courtesy to use the door as an entrance.

*************************************************************

Exactly one hour later, Fenris and Sir Tim Drake and Expletive Deleted were seated in a small booth by the window. Fenris had finished five banana splits of his own, and one of Tim's. The three were all full by now and could hardly move. "Okay," Expletive Deleted continued. "NOW we have to find the perpetrator. Fenris? You were smelling?"

Fenris took a huge whiff of the atmosphere. "He's behind you," Fenris remarked.

Suddenly Expletive Deleted felt a sharp pain in his skull and blacked out.

*************************************************************

Somewhere far away a mysterious mastermind kept tabs on the situation. He held up a list of four well-known CBR posters. Then he pencilled a check mark next to the name "Expletive Deleted". Above that name, a check mark had already been made next to the name "Papergirl". Below their names, there were two names remaining with no check marks.

The third name on the list was "pulse".
