Tales from Gotham

On the run

Next morning everyone sits down together in the living room. Penguin had gathered them since they needed to figure out what they were going to do. "Okay everyone we need a plan of what to do next" Penguin says. "Well, the body was missing fingers, was burned pretty badly, and she had no eyes, so I dont think there is a lot of crucial evidence, so all you have is Jims word against yours, there is not much to go on" Ed explains. "So, do you think they will be able to go to court with this"? Penguin asks. "No, most likely not" Ed says. "Even if they do find a body, they have no idea whos it is, no evidence any of us were there" he explains. 

"So, what will happen if they do try to take us to court"? Penguin asks. "He wont have much of a case, and the court might not even let it go to trial" Edward explains. "So, just behave as usual then"? Penguin asks. "Yes, that all we can do really, If you kill Jim or Harvey then they will come looking, legally right now they cant do anything to us even if they want to" Edward says. "What about Jim? I sure there has been a hit on my head by now" he says. "Well, I wont let Jim anywhere near you" Eddy says with a smile. "Neither will I boss" Victor says. "Do you think Butch talked"? Penguin asks. Eddy laughs "Well even if he did he cant say much, he doesnt even know we are here" Ed says. 

"Should we switch locations just in case the police decide to come back here" Penguin asks. "Good idea" Ed says. Penguin gets up "Pack the important stuff and put it in the car" he also goes to his room and starts packing his clothes from the drawers and they throw all thier stuff including the stuffed animals in the car. "Lets get going everyone" Penguin says as he starts to drive. "Where should we hide"? Penguin asks. Victor and Barbara look over at Edward. "Uh, I think perhaps in the Next city, its close enough you could still drive back to do Mayor business, but its also not in the city, so they wont expect looking there" he says. "They dont have any leads anyways, will just make it harder for them to find us" He says. So they rent a motel, and the place only had two beds, so they have to share. "So, who sleeps where"? Ed asks. "Oh! I get to Bunk with Victor!" Barbara says excitedly. "Id rather sleep on the floor" Victor says. "How about with Penguin!" She says grabbing Penguins arm. "I... I suppose that would be acceptable" he says. Ed shrugs "Alright then" he says. 

So that night Ed sleep next to Victor, and Penguin sleep with Barbara. Both Ed and Victor sleep on thier backs and are about the same height. Both Penguin and Barbara sleep on thier sides and facing in the same direction. Penguin gets rather annoyed when Barbara keeps snuggling against his back but doesn't say anything. In the Morning Ed goes out and brings them breakfast from the deli down the road. Its sandwiches. Penguins is Tunafish, Barbaras is ham and cheese, Victors is roast Beef on rye, and Eds is Turkey. they all eat their sandwiches. "What do we do now boss"? Victor asks as he finishes his sandwich. "Business as usual, you are all working for me, so your coming with me to work" He says as they leave the stuff in the room and lock it. 

They all go to work and perform the duties as usual. Penguin made sure to keep all his freinds close to him since he feared leaving them alone at the motel meant that someone might come and take them away while he was gone, and he would not let that happen. He didnt need to lose more people, freinds, assets. He already lost his emporor once, he was not going to lose every last one of freinds too.
