Tales from Gotham

Letters from Ed 2

Mister Penguin 

Miss Bailey has gotten me a job working at an office as an accountant clerk. Her father owns the company and I am getting paid 15 dollars an hour. It turns out she is working at Walmart during the summer while working at the college. Her father offered her an office job but she said she wanted to do something in medicine instead. I have recently started going by the alias 'Edison Nashton'. I been able to make a lot of different friends during my time in this city, and I still have contact with some of the most notorious people in Gotham city on call. However since they have no real loyalty to any group as of now, here are the contacts I have made. 9098765432, 9097856423,9096857432,8089563321,8083456762,8084357278,7079865432,7079863542,7077775463,6908882345. How has everything been with you Mister Penguin? 

Yours truly Edward

Dear Edward 

That is kind of obvious a name isnt it? I mean its still Ed, one version of it anyways. I glad to read you were able to get a job, don't get yourself caught. We are still on for the 22 correct? Things are going as well as they ever are. Barbara decided to visit the house the other day. She gave us tickets to one of their latest shows. Jerome and Barbara seem very happy together. We just raided a house owned by a small rival gang that decided to open up a crack house in our area. We finally agreed on a deal, and they are now paying us 20% of whatever they make in profits. We did go to see the performance, me and Victor at least. It was a very good show. I think im starting to enjoy the circus 

Best regards Mister Penguin

Of course we are still on for the 22. I just can't wait to see you. Oh, also you should be getting a box on the 20th. I bought a nice suit I would like you to wear. Not that the ones you already have are not marvelous already. Oh and I solved that Rubix cube you gave me in a little under a minute. I think that has to be my best one. Everyone at work refers to me by my old last name. Nashton was my fathers last name, I later changed it to Nygma because my love of riddles, and I also didnt want to be associated with my father any longer. Most know me by Nygma at this point though, so its a safer bet. How are things going with you? 

Yours truly, Edward

Dear Edward, 

Today we drowned about 10 men. They were leading a revolt against my people and I simply can not have that. I dont know if you saw on the news but I also had an interview with a woman. She asked about how it felt to be the new ruler of Gotham city, and having as much pull and influence as I had. Such direct questions, but I think I handled myself very well. I also decided to make a visit to the local bakery shop. They seemed oddly happy to see me and shook my head excitedly. Saying they had a day celebrating a new Gotham in my name. Had cookies, and all sort of baked goods. I cant say I wasnt flattered but I didn't expect this positivity from everyone.

Mister Penguin,

Oh Ozzy, of course I saw you on the news. I always watch it and I am especially attentive when I think you might show up on it.  Well why wouldnt they? You are a marvelous speaker, and you always come across as charming, powerful, passionate, elegant. I see no reason why they wouldnt, and you came to rally them in a time of chaos. Of course everyone is going to follow you. This is how all great leaders have taken over in the past havent they? When people were in need of a hero, and that hero just so happens to be you Oswald

Dear Edward, 

I suppose that is true isnt it? Ill be sending you some more puzzles very soon. I actually already got the suit in the mail by the way. I guess they came quicker than you believed they would. I really love it, and it looks beautiful on me. Thank you so much my dear friend. I can't wait till the 22nd. Hope, you continue to prosper in your new found identity. 

Best regards Mister Penguin
