"So, you say Penguin isnt here right now"? Why is his car still in the drive way"Barbara questions. "Took the other car" Ed says with a smile. "Is that so"? Barbara asks. Ed goes out to help Victor, and Barbara bring in the groceries. "Yes, of course" Ed says with a cheesy smile. After bringing in the groceries they put everything away. After putting everything away Barbara whispers in his ear "You were fooling around in there werent you" she says. Ed blushes "No, of course not" Ed says, his expression changes to concern. "Hes hiding under the bed, isnt he" she says. "How did you know" His head snaps back at her as he looks at her with a serious expression. "You reak of his terrible cologne" She says. "Plus I heard him talking to you.. I wont tell okay" She says to him. 

Victor looks at Ed "When will the Boss be back"? Victor asks. Eds not sure if Victor believed the lie, or if he is just playing along but Ed decides he will play along too. "In a bit" Ed says with a faint smile. Eds voice decides to suddenly appear at this moment to bother him. "Good Job Eddy" the voice says. "Oh shut up! I know, if you came to mock me I don't need it! Go away"! Ed says. Victor looks at Ed "Is your voice speaking to you again Ed"? Victor asks. "Yes, he's just being annoying today though, its fine" He says. 

Barbara sighs and knocks on the door softly and comes in. "I know your in here Os" she whispers after closing the door. "What do you want"? Penguin asks. "I knew you were hiding under the bed" She says. "Go away Barbara" He says Harshly. "If I distract Vic long enough for you to get something on, you Oh me alright" She says to him. "Fine, go on and distract him then" Penguin says. Barbara leaves the room. "Eds telling the truth, no one in there" She says with a smirk. "Where are you going"? Victor ask as Barbara heads for the front door. "To the store to get some cigarettes, want to come"? She asks. "Sure" Victor nods and goes to the car. 

5 minutes later: 

Penguin comes out from under the bed and opens the door slightly. "They are gone Penguin" Ed says. Penguin comes out "That is a relief" He says. Edward walks over to Penguin and smiles. "Ed"? Penguin says looking up at him. "What are you doing"? He asks. "Finishing what we started" Ed says. He leans over and puts one arm on Penguins back and the other through his hair and leans in kissing him softly. Penguin puts his arms on his forearms and kisses back. "I hate you" Penguin says. "You too" Ed says with a smile and deepens the kiss. After a few moments of kissing. "Well continue tonight when everyone is alseep" Ed says walking off. "Get a shirt before they come back" Edward says walking back to his own room.
