Tales from Gotham

Just Hanging out

Its the Sunday morning after they murdered Fish Mooney. No one is really doing anything. Penguin had no business to do as Mayor today, the GCPD didn't seem to be coming after them yet and everyone agreed it was time to take a break. Butch and Tabitha were in their bedroom doing hanky panky all morning but didn't really disturb the rest of the house. 

Ed casually walks into the living room with green long sweaters and a white tank top. He rubs his eyes as he walks out of the hall way to see Victor and Penguin on the couch. Penguin is already awake and sitting on the couch, in front of him is a bottle of whiskey on the table and he is holding a glass with the liquid inside it and four ice cubes. He is drinking it and holding a cigarette in his other hand. "Drinking and smoking, you are going to put yourself in an early grave" Ed remarks as he walks over to Penguin. "Im in the Mob, I probably going to hit it sooner anyways, so really what does it matter" Penguin says. Victor is sitting there shirtless in Just black jeans and a leather belt with a shining silver buckle. Victor has the badges still tied around his waist from the night before. He has a rolled up blunt he is smoking. Ed looks at Victor and laughs "How many vices is there in this house" Ed says. 

Edward walks to the kitchen. "Would you guys like breakfast"? he says pulling out a pan. "That would be lovely" Penguin says with a smile. "Yes, Thank you" Victor says with a grin. Penguin is sitting on the couch with a purple tshirt, and black jeans and a black leather belt. He is the only one wearing socks. His are a plain grey and look very thin. Already in his Sunday's best. Victor and Penguin has it turned to the news watching the tv sitting across from the tv in the living room. 

Edward starts humming and pulls out eggs from the fridge. He also pulls out some bacon and cheese and puts the pan on the stove. Edward starts cooking the eggs and pulls out another pan he cooks the the Bacon in and starts cooking it. Ed makes three plates with three yummy looking omelettes and puts two in front of Penguin and Victor. "Thanks Ed" Penguin says as he takes another drag from his ciggarete and put his glass of Whiskey down and puts his ciggarete out in the ash tray in front of him. "Thank you very much, Ed" Victor says with a smile. Ed takes his plate and eats it at the counter standing up. He didnt see any point in sitting down to eat it. 

This scene is suddenly broken when none other then Barbara comes marching out of the bedroom. "Hello Boys!" She says looking around the room. "Hello Barbara" Ed says looking up at her. "Gee, this is a gloomy bunch isnt it"? She sits down next to Oswald. "How you doing Oswald"? She says with a smile. "Im okay" Oswald says calmly. Victor looks over at Barbara and says "MORNING" with a smile and waves at her. "Boss, is kind of tired today" Victor says. "Your worried that they are going to come after us arnt you Oswald" Barbara says petting his hair softly. "It doesn't matter" Oswald says. "Oh come on Ossy! Where is that cute little Grin you usually give when im around! I thought you liked me"! She pouts as she hugs Penguin. and then kisses his head softly. She smiles and walks over to Ed and says "What you doing then Ed"? She asks. "Well, I just made breakfast" he says. "Would you like something"? Edward asks. "I would have asked but I felt like I would be a bother knocking on your door, I didnt want to distrupt whatever you were doing" he tells her. "No, thats alright, ill make something myself. BTW Ed I didnt know you could cook, thats a hard trait to find in a man" she says. She gets the pan and makes some eggs for herself, scrambled. 

"So how did you boys sleep"? Barbara asks. Edward looks over at Barbara "I slept very well thank you" he says. "Terrible" Penguin says. "I slept okay" Victor says. "Why so terrible" Barbara asks. "Night terrors" Penguin replys. "Is that why you are so grumpy this morning"? she asks from across the room. "Yes" Penguin says simply.  "Are we just going to sit here watching the news, we should do something FUN"! Barbara says. Penguin looks over at her. "The police might catch us if we leave" he says. "They might catch us if we stay Boss" Victor pionts out. Penguin didnt want to be corrected, but Victor had a very good piont. 

Barbara thinks "Lets go to an amusement park"! She says. Victor smiles "That sounds very amusing" Victor says with a smile. "I suppose" Ed says. "Which one"? Penguin asks. "Happy Fun time amusement park! Its three towns over, and if we are there all day, if the cops come they will only bust Tabitha and Butch" She says with a smirk. Penguin raises a brow "That sounds like a plan" Penguin says with a smirk. "Give me a hour" Penguin says as he walks back to his bedroom and starts ruffling through his drawers. 

"So whos driving and which car we taking"? Ed asks her. "Well take MINE!" Barbara says excitidly. "I will be driving" she says happily. Barbara finishes making herself eggs, eats them and then washes the dishes. "So. Eddy, when do you think Tabitha and Butch will finally come out"? she asks him. "I dont know, they been in there all morning, maybe they are screwing" she says bluntly. "Yeah, probobly" Ed says. "Victor are you smoking weed"? she asks him. "It is weed" he says back to her. "Are you going to share" She asks. "Sure, come here" he says. Barbara sits down next to Victor and he hands her the blunt. She takes a drag and gives him the blunt back. They take turns smoking it as they sit in front of the news. After about an hour everyone is dressed. Penguin is wearing a purple button up, and black slacks and what looks like goofy bowler shoes. Edward is wearing a short sleeved button up and blue jeans and brown pennyloafers. Victor is wearing a black V neck T shirt. Barbara is wearing a summer dress that is red and red converse. The leave locking the door behind them. Tabitha and Butch still not out of the room yet. They all walk over to the car. 

Barbara is in the driver seat, Victor is in the passenger seat, Edward is on the edge behind Barbara and Penguin is sitting in the middle seat. It takes about 5 hours to get to the amusement park. After about 15 minutes of driving Penguin is asleep on Eds shoulder. Ed smiles as he strokes the penguin's hair softly dozing off himself. Barbara notices them in the mirror. "Awh, Ozzy looks so cute sleeping" she says with a smile. "Thats one for the scrap book" she says. Ed just smiles and laughs. After about 45 minutes Ed is asleep aswell. Barbara says to Victor as she pulls a camera out of her purse and hands it to Victor "Here take a picture of them will you"? Victor says back "I dont think the Boss would like that Miss Keen" he says. "Just tell him I did it, you wont get the heat for it" She says. "Alright" Victor says and starts snapping pictures of a sleeping Edward and Penguin in the back seat. 

Meanwhile: 

Tabitha and Butch decide to finally leave the room. Butch is in his robe, and Tabitha is in a long black night gown. They come out to see a blunt and a put out ciggarete in the ashtray, a glass of finished whiskey and half melted ice cubes and a whiskey bottle on the table, and the tv left on to the news channel. Suddenly there is a loud knock at the door. "GCPD! OPEN UP!" They bust the door down and put thier guns up. "Woah! Woah! Woah!" Butch says and Tabitha and Butch put thier hands up in the air. "Slow down there!" Butch says. "WHERE IS THE PENGUIN!" Commsioner asks. "We have no idea! Like they were here, and I think he was here this morning but everyone else left honest!" Butch says. "Im arresting both of you"! He says. "What why"? Butch asks. "Not only for being possible accomplices, but for aiding, housing, a criminal and all the other crimes you probobly did working for the MOB"! He says as he arrests both and them and takes them into custody.
