"Bouncing off of the walls
Of mountains at midnight
Crawling out of my bones
'Til the break of the daylight
Another rosy rouse
Another shiver from my spine
Crawling out of my bones
'Til the break of the daylight"
You, Barbara and Oz were still looking up at the TV, as the ballroom fell into silence, and then into a further hushed whisper, as you glanced around the room.
You looked to Falcone, studying his face before he glanced to make eye contact with you a second time, only this time you didn't look away.
He gave you a small nod, and flashed a smirk, he definitely knew something, you just had to find out what that was.
"Hey...wanna get out of here?" Barbara nudged you, and you watched as Oz slowly nodded to you, before walking off to talk to his deputy mayor candidate.
"Yeah...yeah sure" You nodded, as you and Barbara made your way over to the elevator.
It was just the two of you as it descended, the elevator was a little quiet, the only noise really being made was the hum of the elevator.
"Well..." Barbara began. "My dad will probably be working all night"

"Yeah...case like this he'd be stupid not too" You nodded, as Barbara slightly leaned against the back of the elevator.
"Which means...the house'll probably be empty..." Barbara sighed. "Except for me of course"
Who would kill the Mayor? Why so close to election season? Why would Falcone look at you like that, he always did like fucking with people, he couldn't be involved...could he?
"Maybe I'll order a pizza or something...like a large one...I mean, I don't think I could eat a large on my own, would be nice if I had someone to help me" Barbara kept mumbling.
Does Oz have something to do with this, it always is the ones you least expect, if someone was hoping to take power, this is how you'd do it.
Barbara looked at you, seeing you were deep in thought, she was clearly inviting you round, even an idiot could understand that.
The doors pinged open on the ground floor, as you both walked out into the rain, Barbara looked into the cold night rain and sighed.
"Forgot my umbrella" She gave a dry chuckle.
You grabbed yours from the rack and handed it to her wordlessly, to which she gave a small smile and thanked you.
"Do you...wanna come over? Stay the night maybe?" She finally asked. "We don't have to like...fuck or anything...just...I wanna talk is all"
