Dr. Jonathan Crane, MD - Entry 009 (Patreon)

(beeping of a phone number being dialed; ringing; picks up)

LIBRARIAN: Gotham City Public Library.

CRANE: Well hello there. I was wondering if I could inquire as to the whereabouts of a few titles in your possession. 

LIBRARIAN: I’m sorry sir, but there was a fire here today and we’re about to close.

CRANE: It won’t take a moment, I assure you. 

LIBRARIAN: Okay, uh… what are you looking for?

CRANE: The Wind in the Willows, Alice Through the Looking Glass, and the Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

LIBRARIAN: Alright. One moment. All three of those are currently borrowed, sir.

CRANE: If I may ask, to whom?

LIBRARIAN: We’re not allowed to divulge that, sir.

CRANE: I promise I won’t tell a soul.

LIBRARIAN: To a… Dr. Jonathan Crane.

CRANE: Really? Does this Dr. Crane have an address?

LIBRARIAN: Sir really, I can’t –

CRANE: It would be our secret.

LIBRARIAN: (sighs) 237 Hemming Street.

CRANE: Thank you, my dear. You have been most helpful. (hangs up the phone) I have never lived at that address. I think it’s time to – meet Dr. Crane.
