Tales from Gotham

On my own part 5

Day 11: 

A message was sent to Eds email that alerted which riddle they got wrong. It was a set up to alert him of the success or failure of the detectives and Ed was would check his email regularly. He even installed a filter to block out all the spam. It was 3 in the afternoon and he decided to check his email. He was sitting in his motel room wearing a white tank top and his underwear. They were lime green boxers. He had no hair on his body other than his head as he shaved. He checks the messages and sees a new alert. He opens it up. "American Dream" is all the message says. "VA hospital it is" Eddy says. "I knew they would get that one wrong" Ed says. "Though surprised they got most of them" Ed says to himself. He sighs and he looks in the drawer under the desk and pulls out a box of cigarettes. He takes it out and puts it in his mouth and takes out a lighter which was also tucked in the box and lights it putting the lighter back after he is finished and put the box back in the drawer. He inhales and exhales as smoke comes out his nose. "I think I picking up bad habits from Mister Penguin" Edward says. "I didnt use to smoke before" Edward says to himself. "I wonder if Victor and Penguin are missing my presence" he thinks to himself. 

Suddenly he hears three knocks on the door. "Oh, I wonder who that might be"? he says as he comes to the door. Its two men. One a skinny tall one with glasses and the other slender but a broad frame. They are both wearing white button ups, blue pants, and black jackets. The skinny one has black hair, and the other one is blonde. "Hello? Something I can help you nice gentlemen with"? Ed says with a cheery smile. There was a murder of a man not to far from this motel, he was knocked out with a pipe and beaten to death. We are investigating people in the surrounding areas to see if they know anything about it/ "Oh my, no... I didnt know that, I do hope you can find the person who has done it" Edward says. "Do you mind if we ask you a few questions"? they asks. "Sure, go right ahead" he says. Edward shuts the door slowly and stands in front of the door. They ask what he was doing at the time of the murder. He says "Oh, well I was on a date with a female, shes in room 203, if you dont believe me you can go ask her" Ed says. "Do you ever use public transit"? he asks. "I do on occasion" he says. "Do you care if we come in and take a look around"? They asks. "Id rather you not" Ed says to them. "I insist you do" the blonde says. "Do you have a warrant"? Ed says with a slight smile. "No, Sir" the blonde says. "Than, I must decline" Ed says. "So long, detectives" he says. Ed says as he shuts the door and locks it and quickly walks over and grabs his phone off the desk. He texts Susan a message quickly hoping she will read it quickly. 

Susan: 

She hears her phone ring and the light is flashing. Its a flip phone. She just got out of the shower and was getting dressed. She had just changed into some blue jeans, and a long loose V neck and her hair was in a towl. She picks up her phone and awnsers it. The number is labled as belonging to "Eddy". 

Eddy June 30: Detectives are here. They are doing an investigation about the man from the other day who tried to assault you. I told them I was on a date with you, they are going to ask you. Be ready, and erase this message. Dont let them look at your phone! 

She erases the message. she puts her phone down on the desk. After about 15 minutes the two men are at her door. She walks up to the door and smiles "May I help you fine gentlemen with something"? She says with a smile. "We are here about a murder, we are investigating everyone in the surrounding area to see if they know anything" they say. "Oh no" she says putting her hand over her mouth. "What on earth happened" She asks coming out closing the door behind her. "Oh, I just got out of the shower, thats why I wet and have a towl on my head" She explains. They ignore her comment and continue. The man with black hair starts to speak. "There was a man not too far from here who was beaten too death with a pipe" he states. "It was an area not to far from the busstop" They says. "Oh, well considering this city, it could have been anything from gang involvement, to something to do with human trafficking" She explains. The nod. "Mind if we ask you some questions" The blonde asks. "Sure, go ahead" she says. They ask her what she was doing at the time of the crime. "I was on a date, with the sweetest man" She says. "He is 3 rooms over, his names Edward" She explains. They nod. "Before that I was at the club, that where I men him auctually" She says. "I go there regularly, there probably a few people who reconize me. His room is three doors down in room 200" she says. "Ill give you the adress of the club" She says. The blonde man pulls out a notebook and a pen from his pocket and hands it to her. "The moon lite cavern, 267889 Elkwood, and truaman avenue" it read. "Thank you very much mam" The blonde man says with a smile as he walks away. 

They go to the club to investigate and ask people questions. To see what kind of imformation they can gather.
