Batgirl once again proves why she is a viable member of the Bat-Family by snagging the notebook after and high-tailing it out of the club after a brief nude battle with Catwoman. Catwoman chases Batgirl and catches up with her in a landfill where the two once again trade punches until Batgirl is able to abscond with the notebook to the nearest rooftop thanks to some very angry junkyard dogs. Catwoman hitches a ride on Batgirl's cape and once on the roof, confesses why she needs the notebook - to save someone's life! Batgirl is stunned if not incredulous but before she can get more information, Catwoman is shot in the shoulder by an unseen assassin's bullet!
