Batman frowned-- although it would be hard to notice.
"From my research, Shuichi Takatori was a lifelong bachelor, but his brother had three sons with his wife, and a daughter with his mistress. The eldest son was said to have died in a car accident, but I have crime scene photographs that show he was impaled beforehand. The second-eldest's body was never recovered, so I can only conjecture, but the daughter was shot shortly after, while the youngest son died years before during a kidnapping."
And given the recent revelations about Roy Harper, that stirred up all kinds of impotent, paternal rage-- and fear. He remembered back when they thought they'd found Roy, and the months Oliver spent searching, he'd been indefatigable, but -- now they knew -- so out of his mind with grief that he'd been strung along just where the Light wanted him.
He remembered being told Harper was missing, and the first thing he'd done was run up to Dick's room to make sure he was still there. He hadn't quite realized, up until that moment, just what Dick was to him, and from that moment forward to when Dick got the brilliant idea to investigate Cadmus out of spite, he'd never, ever allowed himself any kind of uncertainty when it came to knowing exactly where the boy was at all times.
