Work went by smoothly and quietly, I didn't have to worry about bartending because Fish had already replaced me. I thought I would stop by and see her anyway she would like that. Before I even entered the club I heard her yelling meaning someone had wronged her and she wasn't having it.

I entered the club too see a shattered plate on the ground and Fish sitting in one of the booths. As I walked up to her a couple of men stopped me and turned me around. "Sorry but the boss isn't seeing anyone right now." One of them said. "Well if you were smart you would know I'm an exception." I said. "It's fine let her through." The men let me go move out of the way for me to get by.

"How are you feeling, you look like you had a great time last night." I frowned at her as she laughed. "Just so you know one of the bottles you gave me yesterday is empty. Oh and thank you for the gifts I really love the who outfit that you got its beautiful." I she nodded waving her hand. Two plates were placed in front of us and that's when I realized how hungry I was.

"So what's up with the broken cookware by the door?" I asked taking a bite out of the delicious steak in front of me. Fish sighed and looked over at me. "Well since you asked I was just informed that Oswald Cobblepot is back from the dead. James Gordon failed and I want both him and Penguins head on a stake." Venom dripped off every work and I almost chocked on my steak.

She knew Oswald was alive, what if she finds out he's been living with me. What if she finds out were had sex? "Calm down Penelope, I won't let that fool hurt you if that's what your worried about." Fish said taking my hand. We talked about random things while we ate, about 30 minutes later Butch and a couple other thugs walked into the Club. That was my cue to leave before I heard to much about business. I said my goodbyes to Fish and headed out.

What was I going to do, not working at the club anymore is going to give me too much time. I'm going to have to find more work or something the occupies my time.

A few weeks went by and I saw Fish and Oswald less and less. Fish was busy trying to get Falcone and Oswald killed while Oswald was trying to take Fish down. Maroni was trying to take everyone down, everyone was just doing to much. Today I was working at the diner it was a little slow unfortunately.

"So how is life at the club, one of the customers said he saw you do a little number there a while back." That nosey lady is Martha he's nice but always in other people's business. Which is why I don't talk to her a lot or anyone here because they all want to know everything. "I don't work there anymore but it was great when I did." I answered sitting at the bar in front of her. "Why quit if you liked it so much?" I sighed and frowned at her before going to check on the few customers we had.

After work I headed home, Oswald was staying off and on with his mother so I didn't really see him. It's strange I kind of missed that messed up psychopath, even though I was kind of being blackmailed by him. When I got home as expected the house was empty and I was starving, I don't even bother changing before I started cooking. I don't know but I made enough food for a feast and ate all of it.

Even after eating all that food I was still pretty hungry but I need to go grocery shopping now. I changed and headed to the front door, when I opened it Sal Maroni and Oswald were waiting at the door. Maroni smiled at me and Oswald held his head down.

"How are you doing Princess, Penguin here has been going on about you for sometime, I didn't know you two knew each other so well." He said pulling me in a hug and inviting himself in. "He also gave me a bit of news, my condolences about your mother she was a very beautiful woman much like yourself. As I was saying Penguin here gave me a bit of news about your adoptive mother, Fish Mooney." I could strangle him, how could he do that to me that piece of shit.

"Calm down love, I'm just letting you know what's going to happen. I know you and Fish have a relationship that we're never going to have so when I need you, you come to me and give me what I want and when I want it if you catch my drift. If not that's ok because I know where to find you now. You have a wonderful evening Princess, I'll giving you a call real soon." With that he took his leave leaving Oswald behind.

As soon as the front door closed I jumped on Oswald punching him square in the face. "Why the hell would you do that to me, how could you?" I kept on slapping him until he grabbed my arms and pushed me off of him. "I didn't have a choice I was being followed he knew we knew each other and he knew we were working for another Mafia boss so I had to tell him." I punched him once more in his side and got off the floor. "You're an asshole and I hope someone rips your throat from your neck."

I headed to the closet and pulled out a couple of large suitcases and went to my room. Thanks to that piece of shit I can't stay here anymore. I filled both bags with clothes and things I needed for a long extended vacation. Once I was finished I grabbed a photo of my mother and her pearls and entered the living room.

"Get out of my house, and don't ever come back and if you do it will be the last thing you ever do." For a minute I could see regret in his eyes but I didn't give two shits he crossed the line. He grabbed a few of his things and left. I called Fish and she was at the house in minutes.

"There's something I want to tell you, and you have to promise me you'll hear the story to the end before you get angry. I should've told you this a long time ago but I was afraid of what you would think." I said getting her a glass of wine.

After a very long story about how I got tied up with Sal Maroni and how Oswald ended up living with me I finally took a breath and looked down. She's probably going to disown me and have me killed I already know it. "I want to be angry at you but I'm not I believe the word would be disappointed that you didn't trust me enough to tell me about Maroni. As for Oswald that is a different story I will make him pay for what he has done to us. You my dear will be staying with your dear cousin until I can get everything under control. As soon as we leave I'm burning this place to the ground and collecting the insurance money so grab what you want to keep." I nodded and got to work grabbing all of my expensive and cherished items before Fish and I took our leave.

Just like she said she lit the entire complex on fire I made a call to my cousin and she happily offered to have me stay at her place until I got a new one. It's been months since I've seen Leslie, I wonder how she's doing with her new job at Arkham Asylum. Fish and I parted ways and I headed out of Gotham City, it wasn't forever just until I got Penguin back for what he did. Selling me out like a coward Mr. Oswald Cobblepot aka Penguin you just made the worse enemy. I'm smart, sneaky, beautiful and great with knifes. The first thing Fish ever taught me was to always have a plan and my plan was to see Oswald Cobblepot suffer.
