Chapter 23

JAMES GORDON-Assistant Commissioner

Gotham had never been a peaceful city. The city was a chaotic mess, nearly every second of the day with hustle and bustle in each of its corners, yet despite that, today was becoming rather historic.

And it had all begun from right here, as he stood outside the burning building of Wayne Tower. Two hours ago, he had received a warning from an unknown source from Wayne Enterprises of an impending biological attack on the city and, per protocol, had been forced to investigate it, that was until a damned plane had crashed into the building, limiting his very access to the building.

And now, somehow a city-wide warning was being announced for the people to stay inside as sirens rang out all over the city, yet they had little to no answers about what was going on.

"Can we enter the building now?" he questioned the first responder standing by the side and he shook his head.

"We are still not sure about the level of structural damage the building has taken, just give us a little more time," the burly bald man told him making him grit his teeth.

"Do we have any idea about just how many people are still inside," he questioned and the man shook his head.

"Not yet, though according to our estimates, most of the staff evacuated rather quickly, and the only people that we believe are still inside are Mr. Thomas Wayne himself and maybe one or more other people," he announced, and that was the biggest problem.

Thomas Wayne, had more fame than damned celebrity, and when the news of a plane crashing into the Wayne Tower had been received a whole throne of people ahd gathered outside the building to catch a glimpse of the man, many even volunteering to go inside, yet all of them had been pushed back for their own safety.

Suddenly he watched as the commander of the firefighter unit received a message on his walkie, and then turned to face him.

"They have found someone and are bringing them down," he said and he perked up at that. Hopefully it was Thomas Wayne himself.

Yet he watched as a rather familiar face was helped out of the building gate, coughing and watching yet what was most surprising was how the First responders behind him were bringing out several large crates.

"Who's in charge? I want to talk with the one who is in charge here?" the CEO of Wayne Enterprises asked as he looked around and stepped forward.

"I am incharge," he said as he walked forward through the first responders circling him.

The man looked at him and instantly spoke up,

"I need you to listen to me, Gotham is about to be attacked with a toxin," he began repeating the earlier warning they had received.

"How do you know that? Who is the one attacking the city, and most importantly, how many more people are inside the building?" he questioned rapidly, and Lucius Fox answered.

"I cannot answer the 'who' part, but I have reason to believe it Is the same organization that attacked this building," and he had guessed as much.

"When will the attack happen?" he moved on, and the man looked up at the sky, and he stilled as the clouds thundered loudly, indicating an imminent downpour.

And his heart stilled as he realized the implication, for there had been a massive uproar about some unknown planes taking flight in the skies above Gotham.

"From the sound of that, any second now," the words simply confirmed his suspicion.

"Jesus Christ!" he cursed as he pushed back his hair and faced the man once more.
