Tales from Gotham

On my own part 3

Day 9:

Edward had decided to take the bus system around town to figure his way out around town and learn where everything is at. He stops at a stop a mile and a half away from the motel he is staying at. On the way to his motel he sees a homeless man on the street with a can begging. Edward tilts his head and sighs. He pulls out a 50 from his wallet and drops it in the mans can. "Thank you sir, you are too kind" the old man says. "Its not a problem" Ed says with a smile. His vioce decides to pop up again. "Eddy, you big softy, trying to look like a hero" he teases Ed. "Oh shut up, no one is going to judge me for being charitable but you idiot"! Eddy says back to his voice as he walks to the motel room. The Voice responds with "If I am one, so are you, as I am essentially a part of you" he says. 

Edward walks back into his motel and sits down on the couch. He didnt have his phone and opens it to check his messages. He sees 4 missed messages from Bailey that female he was dating. "Oh, I guess she texted called did she"? He says tempted to look at the messages but is not in the mood to awnser them right now and sighs. He starts to dial a number and order Chinease food to his motel room. "Hello? Is this Wang Changs, Wong Tongs"?... Yes I would like to make an order? You have a special? Yes, I want that, yes and the sweet and sour suace? 10.05$? Yes, it will be cash thank you" he says as he hangs up the phone. 

30 minutes later the food arrives. Its a skinny boy looking about 17, in a red polo, Khaki brown pants and red converse and a red hat. The man had glasses and brown eyes. He was very skinny with a oval face and squar jaw. "Thank you" Ed says as he pays the boy and gives him a 50 dollar tip. "Sir you paid me too much" The boy says. "No, I didnt, thats your tip" he says. "Are you sure"? the boy asks. "Positive" Ed says. "Thank you so much!" he says excitidly and hugs Ed and smiles as he runs back to his moped which he parked on the sidewalk. Eddy thanks the man and eats his food alone as he sits in front of the tv on his bed and sighs. He puts on big bang thoery. Its a Wensday night. Its a re-run though. Its one of his favourite episodes. The one where Penny and Leonard try to feel young by dressing up as Valentine outfits. He thought that episode was so funny. 

Day 10:

Eddy gets up that morning and dresses in blue jeans and a green polo, and doesn't bother brushing his hair so its a mess. He has his glasses on and decides he needs to get some groceries and comes out and walks to his pickup truck and drives to the grocery store. He gets a few things and then comes back home and stalks his fridge. When he gets back its only 12, and he had finished stocking his motel fridge of food items. He decides to go for a walk just to get out for awhile and while he is walking notice three men approach a female on a street corner. Eddy waits and stops and watches from a distances hiding behind a street corner. It looks like they are going to hurt her. The girl is short and Asain being about 5,2 petite build. A white tank, and long tight black pands and a short black pixie cut, and tall black boots. She is carrying a sachal around her shoulder. 

Eddy walks over and says "I hope you nice gentlemen are not harassing this beautiful young woman, since you know its terribly rude" he says as he confidently walks up to them. The two gentlemen are are very broad build gentlemen, each wearing tank tops from head to toe, and one had short black hair, one had long hair and they both had ripped jeans, one a scarf over his head, and the other had one around his neck. One looked Mexican, and the other one looked to be Spanish. "Who the hell are you"? The long haired man asks. "Im a gentlemen is what I am, you two should run off now, before somebody gets hurt" Edward says to them. "Are you threatening us" the short hair man asks. "Would a threat be needed to leave this woman alone"? Ed asks raising a brow. 

The short hair man throws a punch and Eddy ducks and moves out of the way and punches the man in the nose. The other man grabs at Eddy and Ed steps to the side and elbows him. The other man runs at Ed and Eddy sighs as he grabs a rusty pipe near some trash cans and smack one of the men in the head and starts beating him till hes on the ground. Ed looks at the other man who simply runs off. Ed smiles and looks at the girl. "Are you alright"? He asks her. "T Thankyou so much" she says.. Ed smile "Not an issue" he says as he asks "Would you like me to walk you home"? He asks. "Yes, well I live in the motel 6" she says. "Oh, how funny, I staying there too, we can walk together"he says putting his hand on her back as he walks away with her. As they walk there they say nothing to each other but she does ask his number when they get to the motel. "He writes on a paper his phone number and hands it too her". His phone number is 879-5642-2389. He goes into hotel room and sits down. His Vioce comes back "What a hero you are Eddy, saving all these pretty girls" he taunts. "I am making connections, its a good thing, you can get more if people like you" he says. The Vioce responds "You are finally giving into the darkness aint you Eddy"? The vioce asks. "I suppose I am, are you happy"? Ed asks and is met with total silence. 

Day 11:

The detectives at the crime scene are doing an investigation. They figure out that someone has hacked into the system. When they try to get back into the system its blocked. They are given a series of riddles to solve and then they get a message "Riddle me this, Riddle me that, Im the smartest man you never may catch, good luck detectives". They read the message and shout angrily. The detectives are Detective:Portman and Detective:Holly full named Derek Portman, and Abigale Holly. Holly is a female and her partner is a male. Holly is a tall female being about 6,5 which is not tall for a dude but is for a female.

She has B36 breasts and long blonde hair in a ponytail, and blue eyes with curvy figure. Her partner was a scruffy looking gentleman who had a beard, a strong square jaw. He had a hat, and hair in a pompadour. The Female was in blue shirt and long blue pants and was carrying a utility belt. The man was wearing a white button up, suspenders that were black and brown slacks and black shoes. "What do you think this crap is"? He asks her. She sighs "I dont know, he was smart to crack the code, set up a bomb, sneak in and steal thousands of reserve money, and somehow get out undetected" The man says. "I going to read off the riddles" she says to him. "Sure, okay"he says.

1.Sometimes Im needed, Sometimes Im not,Can make any grown man Quiver 2.What has no beginning, middle or end 3.What does everyone want, but can never obtain 4.What hides in plain site, and has many skins 5.What rises as you sink 6.layers upon layers tears will come7.What hides, Displays, and deceives 8.What denys reality, keeps people going, and does not exist in everyone

"Why would he leave us riddles"? She looks over at her partner. "I dont know, maybe he just wants to show he is smarter then us, or maybe this is a trap" He says. "I dont believe it is, I think this is ego" She says. "Hes trying to make a statement" She explains. "Do you think hes one of those weirdos from Arkham asylum" he asks. "He might be" She says. The man says "Move over, I got this" he says as he starts typing in the riddles and solves all but one. When he gets an error message 7 times. A question mark appears. The Riddle he got wrong is "What does everyone want, but can obtain". A digital voice starts speaking.

Recording: I knew you would get this one wrong detectives, but perhaps this one was a bit too specific of a reference to be expecting an answer too. However since you got it wrong, you will be shown it in another way. "Remember, Remember, this day we do have, the night of independence for all of our men. The land of the free, the land of our brave. life on the line for yours, they do save". It says. "Good luck figuring out the next location detectives". The message ends and the regular passwords and systems are restored. "Independence day, which is fourth of July, I think hes going to hit something military related on the fourth of July!" the male detective says.
