Tales from Gotham

A visit from Jim

Jim comes up to the house he heard Butch and Tabitha were arrested at but they could not find the other four at previously. Jim figured this was his best lead to find them and wondered if perhaps Butch and Tabitha came back. When he gets to the property. Its a dirt lot with a house on it. A gated backyard, and had metal barrels all around the property. There was five cars parked in the front. There was weeds everywhere and the outside was not very well maintained. 

Inside the house:

Ed, Penguin, and Victor and Barbara are sitting in the living room around the table playing poker. The had moved the tv stand to the far corner of the table, and Barbara and Victors moved a bench from somewhere else in the house across the table facing the direction of the other couch which Edward and Oswald were sitting on. Penguin was of course winning. Leading to Barbara questioning how he was so good at this. Penguin said as a person running a club, if he was not good at card games, he would be a joke. The person with the second most Chips was Victor, followed by Ed, and than Tabitha, who started throwing in actual money since she ran out of Chips. "You know strip poker would be more reasonable" Barbara says. Victor looks over at her and says "You know a pretty woman, shouldn't let just let anyone look Miss Keen" He says. Barbara smiles "Maybe, you just want me all for yourself Victor" She says pinching his cheek. "Maybe, Miss Keen" He says with a smirk. 

"Are you two going to flirt or play"? Penguin jumps in. "Why are you in such a hurry, you are already winning Boss" Victor says. "That is true isnt it" Penguin says. Suddenly thier interaction is disrupted by a knock on the door. Its not followed by a voice. "Ed, can you get that"? Penguin asks. "Yes,"! Ed says as he putting his hand on the table, facing downward so no one could see his hand. He opens the door "Hello"? and is meet with a riddle from Jim gordon "What is hard like a rock, but breaks when it hits stone" Jim says. Edward opens his mouth to say something but is quickly punched across the Jaw and thrown backwards. "I suppose you are upset, about the whole deathtrap incident" Edward says. 

"What the hell Nygma! What is your problem with me"? Jim says angrily. "You put Harvey in the Hospital!" Jim yells. "Yes, and you want retribution, truth is I meant mostly to kill you but I guess things dont always go according to plan, do they"? Nygma says very frankly and Jim goes in and punches him again and suddenly has Victor pointing a gun at him. "STOP IT, I will not hesitate to shoot you, though I am not really in the mood to kill right now" he says. Jim pulls out his gun and pionts it at Victor. "I wont hesitate either" Jim says. "Everyone stop this! Us killing each other is not going to fix anything, Jim put your weapon down" Penguin demands. Jim than grabs Penguin around the neck and puts a gun to his head. "How about I kill one of yours, maybe then you will know what it feels like" Jim says. "Really Jim?" Penguin says angrily, without a hint of fear in his vioce. "Jim! Let him go"! Nygma demands. 

Suddenly a car pulls up in the drive way. Everyone looks at the door way. "Whos that"? Jim says. "Why dont you tell us Jim, they are probobly following you" Penguin says. The person who walks in is Lee and Victor is now pionting one gun at her and one at Jims head. She puts her hands up "What the hell"? She says. "Whos that"? Victor asks Jim. "My Ex girlfreind" Jim says. "Why is she here"? Victor asks. "She was concerned, Moral support" Jim says. "Jim, What the hell is going on here"? she says. "Well, everyone has guns Lee" Jim says. 

"Please let him go!" Lee pleeds. "Ill let him go if he lets go of Penguin and leaves" Victor says. "Lee just let him go!" Lee tells him. "No, either penguin or Nygma is going to die tonight, which one of them wants to go, is up to them" he says. "Fine Jim, we can handle our issue outside, let penguin go, and we will finish this just the two of us" Nygma says. "Why would you do that Nygma"? Jim asks. "Since I dont want you hurting any of my freinds" Nygma says. "How do I know I can trust you" Nygma says. "Watch ill go out right now" Nygma says putting his hands up "See! You can trust me he says" he smiles as he slowly inches towards the door moving past Lee. Lee looks at Jim "Come on Jim" she says. 

"Fine"! Jim says pushing penguin towards Victor. Victor is still pointing his guns at them. Jim slowly backs out of the house and Lee backs out too. Nygma had slyly picked up a crowbar that was next to the house when he came out and when Jim comes out he smacks him across the face with it. Jim ends up dropping his gun. "Come on Jim! You want a piece of me then" Nygma says with a smile. "Why couldnt you just die, like you were suppose to" He says as he backs up facing Jim with the crow bar. "Ill kill you Nygma, even if its with my fists" he says. "Like you can" Ed mocks him holding the crow bar.
