The new girl walks into the cell and all eyes are on her. She had the typical black and white asylum striped dress on but matched it with bright red heels that matched her bright red lips. You didn't move your gaze from her as she strolled over to a table on her own and pulled out a magazine like this was her house. Although your eyes didn't move you raised your hand to the side and pushed Jerome's jaw up to shut his mouth like a comical movie. She flipped her legs up on the table and you watched as Jerome walked over to her looking as calm and collected as usual.

"Hey gorgeous, I'm Jerome," he smiled his signature grin while you rolled your eyes.

"Keep moving ginger," she sassed back and you couldn't contain your laughter.

Jerome glared at you but you ignored him and walked over sitting next to him but sliding across so you were face to face with the new girl and he was now falling off the bench.

"Ignore him, he always likes to embarrass himself in front of the beautiful new girls. Honestly I'm keeping count on how many have rejected him," you chuckle while digging Jerome a bigger hole.

You held out your hand, "Y/N Y/L/N."

She smirked at you and put down the magazine. This made Jerome give you even more death stares. 

"Barbara Keen."

You nodded, "I thought so. Jim Gordan's 'way too good for him girlfriend right?"

She laughed, "and I like you already."

You smirked too, "I do seem to have that effect on people."

"Not everyone," Jerome growled before leaving you and Barbara probably out of pure embarrassment.

You and Barbara laughed at him.

"So what's the 'perfect' cops ex doing in a place like this?" You wondered.

"I killed my parents," she shrugged casually.

"Ohhh, Jerome killed his mum too. I'm more of a kill people who do you wrong who aren't blood related kinda killer."

"You know The Ogre?" Barbara asked.

Your eyes widened because you haven't heard that name in a long time.

"Of course I do why?"

"He taught me how to do it," she leant in as if telling you a secret.

You leant in too, "wow, your lucky to be trained by him."

"Well he did owe it to me after kidnapping me first," she chuckled and leant back again.

"What else did you expect?"

"Maybe a nice date, sex afterwards and a cooked morning breakfast. Definitely not such an attractive psychopathic kidnapper," you both laughed.

"Crazy is always attractive," you admitted.

"I'd love to drink to that," she sighed.

You hated seeing your new friend so down all of a sudden so you shared with her the idea you had had for a while now but knew Jerome would screw it up if you asked for his help. 

"I could help with that," you smirked.

"Oh Y/N please do share," she raised her eyebrows.

"You see that guard over there," you pointed and Barbara nodded.

"That's Evan, he's worked here for a year and he hates his job more than I hate movie reboots and that's saying something. When he's on his night duty, he does however love to drink and he keeps a couple of bottles in his locker. I've been planning this for a while so I've got it all planned all I need is you to distract him and tell me whether your a vodka or whiskey kinda girl."

"Vodka all the way and you've got it."

"You know Barbara we might just be seeing the start of a beautiful friendship."

"I'm counting on it," she winked at you.

A/N I know this one isn't long but I really didn't know where else to go so I'm just going to move on to another character 💞
