Tales from Gotham

Jim and Harvey

Harvey is at the hospital and still in the intensive care unit. Harvey is waiting in the lobby and Lee Thompkins had showed up. She walks into the lobby to see Jim sitting there with his head hung low. "Hi Jim" she says sweetly sitting down next to him. "Hi, Lee, how you holding up"? She asks. "Im okay" he says. "What happened?" she asks. "Nygma happened, he tried to kill me, he tried to kill Harvey, and he tried to kill the Commissioner. He trapped me in this room and hooked them to this death trap" he says. "I was only able to save Harvey, I dont think anyone can save the Commissioner anymore, I just called for them to send an ambulance to get the Commissioner an hour ago" he says. "I swear if Harvey doesn't make it, I going to find Nygma and ring his neck!" He says angrily. "Jim, revenge wont fix this" Lee says. "He doesn't deserve to live after the crap he pulled" Jim says. "Its all my fault this happened" Jim says. "How could this be your fault, Jim"? Lee asks. "The Commissioner and Harvey followed me to the Scene, I told them I was going alone, but they decided to follow me" he says. 

"Jim, none of this is your fualt" Lee says cupping his hands. "Yes, it is Lee, I should have been able to save them, I failed them." he says. "If Harvey doesn't live I am going to have to live with that on my shoulders" he says to her. She sighs and kisses Jims head softly. "Well, Im here if you need me okay Jim" she says to him. "Thanks Leee" Jim says to her. "How is work at your other office"? Jim asks. "Oh, its good, but I kind of miss seeing you" she says. "Ive missed you too Lee" He says to her. "have you talked to Barbara anymore"? Lee asks. "Barbara has teamed up with Victor, Penguin, and Ed" Gordon says. "Really? What is this like a team of super villians now" She says. "I dont know but its not a good thing" Jim says. 

A Doctor comes out and walks up to Jim. "You are Jim Gordon Correct"? The doctor asks. "Yes, thats me" Jim Gordon says. "Your friend, is gravely injured, he isnt conscience anymore, but we were able to stop the bleeding. He has lost a great deal of blood though and we dont know if he will make it, you can go back and see him, we will call you if there are any changes. If he is doing better, it should be a week before hes awake and able to talk and respond again" the doctor says. "Do you think you can save him at this point"? Jim says. "We should if we are able to get enough blood" he says. "Can I see him" Jim says. "Of course right this way" he says. "This women is your partner I assume"? the doctor ask. "Use to be, here for moral support" Jim says. "She can come too if she likes" the Doctor says. 

The Doctor leads them to a room and Harvey is laying there conscience. Jim grabs his hand. "Come on Harvey, I know you wont let that idiot Nygma get the better of you. You can make it through this, I going to make him pay for what he did to you" He says. "Make it through Harvey" Jim says. After a few minutes Jim decides to leave and Lee Thompkins follows him out. Jim is furious. "I am going to kill Nygma" Jim says as he storms to the car. "Jim, what are you doing" Lee says. "Like I said" Jim tells her. "Jim, you cant be serious" she says. "Im dead serious Lee" Jim says. "Jim, you have to calm down" he says. "He tried to kill us IN A PIG FACTORY LEE! You think if I dont deal with that Sicko now, he wont do this to someone else"? I dont care if I not a cop ANYMORE! He hurt Harvey, he hurt a cop, I am dealing with this"! Jim says Angrily. Lee feels bad for Jim, she understands his frustration and knows she cant stop him. "Just.. Dont get yourself arrested Jim" Lee says. "I wont" He says. She hugs him. "Im going home, if you need me for anything feel free to call" She says. "Oh, and I changed phone numbers" She says writing a number on a piece of paper and putting it in his front pocket. "Be safe Jim" She says as she gets in her car and drives off. Jim gets in his car and starts driving to the spot they last arrested Butch and Tabitha.
