Tales from Gotham

The Meeting

So Edward and Penguin walk into the room. "I see you brought a freind with you Mister Nygma. Who might this be"? the husky gentleman sitting across the room asks with a smile. "My name is Oswald Cobblepot, I am the Mayor, previous ruler of the gangs in this city" Penguin says

to him with a smile. The man smiles "Oh, I have heard a lot about you, you must have a lot of pull in this city" he says to Penguin, the skinny short man across. "Come, please sit the two of you" the man says motioning to the chairs. Penguin sits on the chair across the table.

Ed sits on the chair to the side of the table. "So Edward, you said you wanted to sell my company security product" he says. Edward nods "Yes, that was the plan, yet you still dont seem interested" Edward says. "Well, I dont see why I should trust someone who has no name in this

city" he says. "I worked for the GCPD, how does that now qualify me"? Edward replys. "Well, you would not let me test the product" he says. "You wanted to use it for free for a year! You dont need a trail for that long" Edward Protests. Penguin watches, he finds this little back

and fourth between the two men very amusing. "Well, if you wont buy the product I will" Penguin says smugly. "Of course someone like you is too stupid to see the genius in this product and that is your loss, but me, the Mayor of this city will gladly put the products on the City reserves. 

Ed why do you deal with this primate"? Penguin says turning over to Eddy with a smirk. Ed is in shock. He knows what Penguin is trying to do, but never the less the reaction through him a bit. Ed and the man sit there in shock of the Penguins bluntness. 

The man looks over at penguin and points a gun at him. Ed frowns "It wouldn't be very smart to kill the Mayor would it? Gangster or not" Ed says coldly. Penguin raises a brow and looks up at Ed "Ed"? Ed smiles and walks over to the husky man and puts his hand under his chin. "You are going to buy my product and if you don't I will make sure your entrails are hanging out at a crime scene, I will unleash all sorts of wonderful horrors, and don't you think just because I don't look bulky I cant hurt you, Ive already murdered three people and dismembered the bodies, DO YOU WANT TO BE NEXT"?

He asks with a smile. The husky man shoves Ed and says "Give me the paperwork" he says. "Thank you" Ed says with a smile and hands him the paperwork and the man signs and they both leave. Penguin smiles and gets up and bows "I bid you adieu". Penguin turns and walks out along with penguin.

Penguin looks at Ed "What was that Ed"? Penguin says with a chuckle. "Oh, it was nothing, he just pissed me off is all". Penguin asks "Were you upset he threatened me"? Edward pauses for moment and says. "He was irritating in general" Edward replies. This seemed like avoidance. "Dont think you needed my help for that"? Penguin says. "Well, its always nice having you around" Edward says with a smile. Penguin laughs "You are quite the card mister Nygma" says the Penguin.
