A personal mission (Jai).
Keith wasn't dead.

This knowledge pounded through Marissa's head every second of her waking days, most significantly when she was dealing with Keith's family.  Dinah had made the gesture of inviting Marissa to come out to be with the family for the funeral preparations which meant that she was surrounded at any given moment by someone who should know that Keith was alive.  Dinah was easy to fool; the woman's grief was palpable and she voluntarily kept herself distracted by alternately working on Mia's wedding and the funeral.  Oliver never acknowledged her, which was fine.  Men have their own ways of grieving.  She hadn't had much contact with Mia, either, but that was by design.  Marissa still hadn't forgiven herself for letting Mia die so it was already awkward.  Sin, however, had been harder to shake.  The small woman seemed to be looking right through Marissa at every turn.  Keith was right; she was creepy. Marissa was fairly certain she knew something was wrong, which made Marissa faintly paranoid.  Keith wasn't dead.  She knew it and she really couldn't sit around and do nothing about it.

Left alone in Keith's room, Marissa found one of his old cellphones.  A few moments later she had his contact list and there was a particular number she was looking for.

I need to talk to someone about Keith. Star Tower Hotel restaurant 4pm. -MW

She had been generous with the time, but she knew Jai West was fast so Marissa was already there waiting when she sent the text.

Tim had no reply to that. He knows it's true, but saying it aloud, even acknowledging it, means that he really does have a problem. A problem that he has no clue how to fix.

"The Artist will be hard to catch. I heard he gave you and Batman trouble before. Do you think Keith is looking for him, too?" Tim asks.

Marissa notes that, once again, Tim avoids the problem. That's going to be ugly, eventually.

"I'm pretty sure that is exactly what Keith is up to." Because Keith killed him once already.

"Then we need to find him before he gets himself into anymore trouble. He's already flirting with federal charges if anyone else realizes he faked his death. I don't know what he was thinking, but it wasn't a great idea to go with on the fly.

Jai West didn't handle it so well." Tim says, starting them on their way to the airport.

"Keith is on a really dangerous course right now in general, Tim," she says quietly. "I'm very worried about this entire situation and I don't know what to do about this. I know that taking care of the Artist situation is one major thing, but...I just don't know."

"First, we find Keith. We make sure he doesn't /actually/ get himself killed, then we worry about the Artist. He's not making an effort to get attention, so maybe he's waiting for something. If that's the case, it gives us time to find him before he can strike again." Tim says.

"Well, we're heading in the right direction. If Keith's going after the Artist he has to go to where the Artist is. I was the Artist's last target and everything about this guy screams of a man who doesn't leave until he's done the job he came to do. The Artist is probably in Gotham. Which means that's where Keith is. We start there."

She paused.

"What about your particular case?"

"I'll be working on it at the same time. I just need to find the girl and get her somewhere safe. Once that's done, I have to let the system to do its job." Tim says.
