Free Falling: A Gotham "Love" Story

Chapter Thirteen: Assault On Arkham

"Silence is an enemy against your urgency, so rally up the demons of your soul."
(Third Person POV)

"Amy, are you ready?"Oswald asks, looking at Amy nervously. The pair were parked in a van a couple of meters away from the entrance of the Asylum, hidden behind a couple of bushes. Two-Face and Selina were in the back, waiting for Joker and Harley to arrive on the scene. Amy snaps out of her daydream and sighs, looking up at him.

"Yeah, I am. Just a bit nervous. It's not like I've ever broken anyone out of prison before."Amy says, chuckling

"Everything will be fine, everyone knows what they have to do and they will do it. Just be confident about it. You've got this."Oswald says, giving her an encouraging smile. Two-Face looks up at Amy and groans.

"What, are you scared? Well don't be, I don't need you backing out of the plan you came up with."

"Don't be rude, Harv. She's giving you a chance to do something besides rob banks all the time."Selina remarks

"Because she needs to get her boyfriends out of prison. It's not exactly a mission I'm excited about."Two-Face says before Selina scowls at him and retracts her claws.
"But I can pretend to be if I have to."

"You guys know the drill, right? Joker and Harley will be here in a few minutes and Selina will sneak them through the broken gate near the Gotham river and up through the Intensive Treatment. Afterwards you are free to go, Selina."Amy says and Selina nods, fixing the goggles on top of her head.

"As for you and me, Dent, we will sneak in through the cave tunnels behind us, finding the exact location of the cell block-."

"You don't have to tell me again, Cobblepot. I understood the plan yesterday, I just want to get through with it."Harvey says angrily as Amy looks at her watch

"Well then I should head inside, my "interview"is in ten minutes. Wish me luck?"Amy says with a smirk before exiting the car and walking towards the gates of the asylum. She straighten the coral dress she was wearing and walked over to the guard's room, where the guard was giggling and acting like a schoolboy.

"I see Ivy got here a while ago." Amy mumbled before entering the asylum grounds. She looked down at her boots, knowing that they were going to be practical if -or should she say when- she had to run. The snow on the ground didn't help matters though as she kept sinking slowly every step she took. Once she got inside the asylum, a gothic looking one with very dim lighting and concrete walls, she was met with a tall, buff man who looked her up and down. She walked through the metal detector smoothly before walking to the guard desk.

"Um hello, I'm Amelia Calhoun, I have an interview with Warden Sharp. Do you know where his office is, Guard Cash?"Amy says, looking at the name tag on his shirt. He looks at his list and nods before looking back at her.

"Oh you're the interview he told us to keep an eye out for. His office is up the stairs and the last door on your left, Miss. Calhoun."Cash said, pointing in the direction she needed to go with a polite smile.

"Alright thank you."Amelia says before departing towards the stairs, noting the location of the cameras following her every move. Once she arrived to the second floor, she walked past a group of guards who looked at her hungrily. While it made her feel incredibly uncomfortable, she was happy that they weren't suspicious of her. One guard winked at Amy and she smiled politely, walking to Sharp's office as swiftly as she could.
'Well here goes nothing'
