Slade is looking through the contracts on his tablet when his phone starts ringing. He frowns, having not expected any calls - Dick left to meet with his brothers, Rose is still mad at him, Joey is busy with one mission or another and Billy went away on a much deserved vacations. Still, when he picks up the phone it's Dick's name that appears on the screen.
"Little bird?" He asks in a way of greeting.
Silence answers him and Slade draws the device away from his ear to check if the call is still ongoing. It is.
"Dick?" he tries again. Maybe Dick didn't even know he called him? Touch screen phones like to be a pain in your ass like that.
Just as Slade is about to end the call, a heavy tired sigh is audible through the line.
"Slade, I-" Dick sighs again. His voice gets a bit muffled, as if he was rubbing his face with his hand. "I need to ask you for something."
"Alright?" Slade frowns again. "What's going on?"
"It's..." Dick starts before laughing shortly. It's not really a happy laugh. "I need you to pick me up."
Out of all the things possible, that was not what Slade expected Dick to ask him.
"Pick you up?" He repeats, getting up on his feet. "What with your bike? Richard, if you got into a fucking accident-"
"No! No, I didn't, I promise I'm okay, Slade! It's-" Dick breaks off with another tired sigh. "It's just... Jason. Stole my tires."
Slade stops in the middle of shrugging his jacket on. He waits a few seconds for Dick to elaborate but he remains silent on the other side of the line.
"Jason." He drawls. "Your little brother. Stole the tires from your bike."
"Yep." Dick answers, popping the 'p' in a way Slade hates. "In a true Batman fashion. He even threw the tire iron at me and all."
For a few more seconds they stay silent, Dick waiting him out and Slade trying to grasp the information.
"Soooo..." Dick starts again. "Will you come get me?"
Slade sighs, "I'll be there soon."
