Jason... almost laughs. Damn, he's glad he'd checked that route out first. Using the Riddler's MO against him like that was clever - he's gotta wonder if old Eddie was in on that, or if it was a Paul original - he's usually got a weird sense of honor about this type of thing, but the dead rat does seem to cinch it.

"Hood Rat." He likes that one.

Well then. He's just making enemies all over the place this week, isn't he? But despite the loss of Rusty, it's looking like this little gambit's left him ahead - even if Pallbearer had spotted his bugs from earlier after all, he's still got the tracer on his car, and whatever else Aaron may know now working for him.

He lets Pallbearer leave for now. He can backtrack the tracker's trajectory later, and it's less risky than following him.

Besides, now that his friend Paul's gone back to the drawing board, Jason's gotta turn his priority to another problem.

He needs to find out what's up with this Meta Brawl thing. And there's only one way to do that.

He wonders if there's still tickets available for the next match.
