This story is the eighth in an ongoing series of Batgirl adventures and is easily my darkest offering yet, since it introduces our plucky heroine to the murky world of BDSM. As usual, it is mainly based on characters found in the early Batman comics and that wonderful '60s TV series, but with the timeline brought up to date.

Jennifer couldn't wait for the morning coffee break to arrive, as she breezed into her red-haired boss's office and plonked her shapely rear down on the corner of her desk. "Well, what have you managed to find out?" she demanded.
Barbara smiled at the bubbly blonde's eagerness to learn every little detail about her personal crusade. She shrugged her shoulders, nonchalantly. "Nothing much," she replied, a little off-handedly.
Jenny's face showed her disappointment. "Nothing?" she exclaimed.
"Ever heard of a place called 'The Hellfire Club'?" Barbara asked, out of the blue.
"Isn't that the new nightclub that's recently opened up in town?" Jenny asked, with a bemused expression.
"Yes, that's the one!"
"I don't know much about the place. They don't employ strippers or pole dancers there, as far as I'm aware." Jennifer earned much needed extra income by working in various strip clubs, on several evenings a week. She used this extra source of income to help support her paraplegic younger brother.
"But they DO hold a BDSM evening, once a month," Barbara revealed, with a smug smirk.
Jenny's large blue eyes widened with interest.
"They've even got their own internet site and they're sending me two complimentary tickets for the next BDSM meeting, on the seventeenth of the month," the redhead added, triumphantly.
"Wow, that's in just five days time!" Jenny exclaimed, excitedly.
"Uh huh! And, with a bit of luck, I'll be able to find one or two fresh leads in this case."
"Er, won't you have to go dressed up in some sort of kinky fetish gear?" Jenny asked, with a slight frown.
Barbara shrugged her shoulders. "I suppose so. I hadn't given it much thought."
"Look, I may be able to get my hands on some of those slavegirl or dominatrix accessories for you, through my contacts in clubland," Jenny suggested, squirming her shapely ass at the image it conjured up in her mind.
Barbara's face lit up. "Okay, that would be great!" she agreed.
"Which do you prefer, whips or manacles?" Jenny asked, with cheeky grin.
Barbara blushed. "I'm, ah, I'm not sure, yet. I'll have to let you know, a little nearer the time."
"Fair enough! Do you want me to tag along with you, as backup?" Jenny asked, eagerly.
"Sorry, Jen, I've already asked Phil to be my chaperone." Barbara gave the blonde an apologetic shrug.
Jennifer's face fell. "Okay, then I guess I'll have to find the flatfoot something to wear as well!"
"Just as long as it's skimpy and sexy," the redhead agreed, with a devilish chuckle.

An angry Vincent Woo, marched into his local Precinct House and stormed up to the front desk.
"I want to know what you're doing to find my missing daughter?" he demanded of the sergeant on duty. His sing-song, Pidgin English style of speech, had disappeared, to be replaced by his normal educated accent, one which was tinged with worry and indignation.
The long-serving police officer looked up from the official form he had been completing and quizzically eyed the highly irate Chinaman. "Can I be of some sort of assistance, sir?" he queried, diplomatically.
"Yes, damn it! I want to know what you're doing to find my daughter, Zhang?" Vincent repeated, clenching both his fists. "She's been missing for four days now."
"I'll see if I can find someone free who can help you, sir." The uniformed officer picked up the phone and put in a call.

A few minutes later, Vincent was being ushered into the cramped office of Detective Hank Murphy.
"Please take a seat, Mr. Woo," the plain clothes cop said, with a well rehearsed smile, as he re-seated himself behind his cluttered desk. It was littered with open files and reports, plus a half-filled mug of coffee which had gone cold. He waited for the highly agitated civilian to settle opposite him, before continuing. "Now, what can I do for you, sir?"
"I just want you to find my daughter," retorted Woo, miserably.
Murphy picked up an open file from his desk and glanced at the top page. "I see that your daughter has been placed on the 'missing person's' list," the detective pointed out. When this received no comment, he continued. "According to this, your daughter was on her way to the bank at lunchtime, to deposit the previous day's takings from your restaurant business in Chinatown?"
"That is correct. I was expecting her to be gone for no more than fifteen minutes. I soon became worried and went to the bank to check out the cause of the delay. She never reached there; both she and the cash having disappeared somewhere between my restaurant and the bank."
"Perhaps this was a simple robbery, rather than an abduction, Mr. Woo?"
The rotund Asian shook his head, tears glistening in his sleep deprived eyes. "If that had been the case, then I would have expected her to have turned up by now, alive or... or dead!" he whispered, in a broken voice.
"And you haven't received any phone calls, demanding a ransom for her return?" Murphy asked.
The old man shook his head, miserably.
The police detective didn't say anything, but things weren't looking too encouraging for the missing girl. "We will continue our investigations, Mr. Woo and, as soon as we have any news of your daughter, we will be in touch." He rose to his feet and held out his hand to the other man. "Sorry we can't be of any more help, at this trying time for you and your good wife."
Vincent shoulders slumped, as he stood and shook the detective's outstretched hand. "Thank you," he mumbled, thoroughly dejected, before turning to leave.

The crash of the bedroom door flying open, caused Zhang to awaken from her fitful slumber, with an abrupt start.
