Tales from Gotham

Delivery Boy

Ed has gone to repay his favor by delivering the debt he had to Miss Keen. He was wearing a long brown coat. He had black gloves on and a white button up shirt, and long black pants tied off with a black leather belt and shined black shoes. He stops his car in front of the gate. He adjusts his glasses as he pulls out the note from his right pocket with his right hand. He goes up to the box after shutting his car door. He puts his pointer finger on the button and speaks. "I am Edward Nygma, I am here with a Delivery from Barbara Keen" He says. He lets go of the button and waits there holding the letter. 

"We will let you in, one moment" what sounds like a young female says on the other end of the radio. It sounds like a voice Ed recognizes. After about a minute a younger girl with a punk style walks up to gate. "Hey, I know you" She says. "You? You are working with Jerome now"? Ed asks from the other end of the gate. "Well, yeah, what else am I going to do? You guys killed Fish and Jerome was gathering up all the homeless youth and getting them to work for him" she says. 

"What did you come for Forensics guy" she asks him. "Well, Barbara did me a favor and I owed her one" he says. "So, why didnt she just come herself" she asks him. "I didnt stop to ask" Ed says. She is holding the black box in her hand. "Fine ill let you in" She says as she opens the gate. Ed walks in. "Nice seeing you again, did you save your friend"? He asks. "Well, sort of" She says. She puts out her hand to shake "Names Selina Kyle" She says. "Edward Nygma" Ed says shaking her hand. "So, you are delivering a note for Jerome from Barbara Keen"? She asks. "Yes, she asked me to give Jerome this" Ed says handing it to the young Selina Kyles. 

"Have you read it"? She asks. "No, I have not" Ed says. "Why not?" Selina asks. "When she gave it to me it was already sealed" Ed explains. "Come here" she says holding the note as she leads Edward to the room that Him, Jerome, and Penguin were in last time. Selina pulls out her phone and makes a call. "Jerome"? She says into the phone. "I have a guest here" she says. 

Jeromes End:

Oh hey, Who is it Selina"? Jerome asks. Jerome is standing in a hall and has a man upside down and a bloody knife in his hand. The man is screaming and moaning. "Im in the middle of a job at the moment" he says. 

Selina End:

His name is Edward Nygma, and he has a note here he says is from Barbara Keen. He said he owed her a favor and so she told him to deliver it for her. 

Jerome End:

Hm, I see? Well what does he look like"? Jerome asks as he plays with the bloody knife in his hand. He smiles as he turns his direction back towards the screaming man. 

Selina End:

He is tall, nerdy, wears glasses, kind of awkward" Selina says on the other end of the phone. 

Jerome: Sounds familiar, send me a picture of him on your cellphone Selina, use the flash" he says. 

Selina End: She pionts the phone at Ed "Say cheese Ed" She says with a smile as she clicks the camera and sends the photo to Jerome. 

Jerome: Looks at the man and says "One moment please, ill finish you in a minute" he says. Jerome opens the message and looks at his phone. "Oh, its him again, maybe Barbara did send him" Jerome then puts the phone back to his ear. "Selina, I am almost done here, tell him to wait and ill be there in 15 minutes" He says. 

Selina End: Alright Boss" She says and hangs up the phone. Jerome is going to be here in 15 minutes. "I think he remembers who you are" Selina says to Ed. Edward nods and waits for Jerome to Arrive. Jerome gets into the place and walks into the area where they are sitting. "Sorry I am late" Jerome says. Jerome is totally covered in blood. "Oh sorry about that, I was on a job, I think I got a bit on me" Jerome said. 

 It had been 30 minutes since Jerome made the call. "Ed, I believe you were here last time with Penguin Correct"? Jerome asks. "Yes" Ed nods. "Alright, well I just want to thank you so much for sending the letter" Jerome says as he goes and shakes Eds hand. "It was a pleasure" Ed says with a smile. Jerome puts his hand out, waiting for Selina to give him the letter. "Jerome opens it very carefully, trying not to tare it" Ed is curious why Jerome takes such care with the letter but doesnt question it. Jerome sits there and reads it. "Perfect"! Jerome says with a smile. "Wait here a moment Ed" Jerome says. Jerome goes and write another letter really quickly and folds it and puts it in a letter and marks it with a red sticker. He walks over and gives it to Ed. "Take that to Barbara, Thanks" Jerome says. Ed nods "Alright" he says. "Selina will let you out" Jerome says. 

"Come on Forensics guy" Selina says as she walks up to the gate. She clicks the button to open it up. Ed leaves "Bye, Ed! Hope to see you again sometime" She says waving. "So long Selina" Ed says as he gets in his car and leaves.
