Tales from Gotham

On my own Part 12

Eddy had decided to go out to the club after work one night and get some drinks. He had nothing planned with his boss, the woman from Walmart, his neighbor, or his fiance Mister Penguin. He sat the club drinking wine all night. He wasn't really there to talk to anyone. The Music was raised but low enough where you could chat with the person next to you. The Bartender was a pretty young thing, which Eddy had noticed but didnt care to do anything about. He sat there all night drinking Wine, Martinis, and Tall ice teas. He was getting pretty drunk but he just wanted to get wasted, away from his lonely apartment, have some fresh air and pretend no one existed tonight. However this was not to be the case this night. 

A young female with a pixie cut black hair, a tight tank saying "Rockstar" and tight black pants hugged her thighs. She had tall black boots and pink lipstick. She smiled and says "Hey, you look lonely sitting here all on your own" She says with a smile. "No, not really, was just pretending I was invisible, but reality has come striking at my door, to make me admit that im not" he says with a smile. She giggles "Thats cute, so whats your name"? she asks. "Edison.. Edison Nashton" Ed says simply. He really does not feel like having this conversation right now but he didnt want to be rude to the young female. Eddy was wearing his purple shades, a long green suit, long green pants, a green buttonup and a purple bowtie around his neck. 

She smiles "So.. Do you work in this city"? She asks. "I do yes" he says. "Do you got a partner"? she asks him. "I dont" he says. He was lying as he technically had four of them, but he didnt feel like giving such information to complete strangers. The young female seemed to either be oblivious too, or else totally ignoring his reluctance to speak with her. He just smiled at her. "So do you like to dance"? she asks. "I dance on occasion" he says. "What kind of dancing"? she asks. "Mostly stuff like the Waltz and classical stuff" he says. "No twerking or nothing"? She asks. "God no" he says. "Well! lets go dance then! Mister Edison!" She says. "Id rather not" he says but she grabs his hand and drags him to the dance floor. Eddy sighs and he starts doing a classical two person dance in the middle of the room. Everyone in the room is very impressed. This all went on for about 20 minutes till a taller, broader, muscular gentlemen appeared and broke it up. "Hey Buddy"? The man was tall, had a black tank top, large muscles, a crew cut and greying hair even though he only looked about 28 years of age otherwise. "Yes"? Edward asks. Suddenly Edward is stunning as he is met with a punch in the face which knocks him to the ground. Edward glasses are knocked off and he sighs and folds them putting them in his front pocket. 

"That was terribly rude of you, I hope you know" Edward says standing back up in front of the man. "Hey buddy, dont be dancing with my chick" he says. "Well, you better keep a leash on her, because if she yours she obviously isnt very loyal" He says as he raises his eyebrows at the man. The Man is now pissed and throws a punch at Eddy. Eddy dodges swiftly missing the punch as he punches the man in the stomach, but it doesnt seem like it had done much to the massive man with a six pack. The man growls and goes to grab Eddy and Eddy moves aside putting his foot out which trips the man. By this time the bar has stopped and is now watching the fist fight between the two men. 

"You know, I really dont need to go to jail right now, thing were finally going right for me" Edward says as the man turns around and continually throws punches as Edward who keeps dodging the punches and moving around them swiftly. "Temper, Temper, Temper".. Eddy says. "You know, I think a swift gun to the head would fix this" Eddy says as he pulls out a gun he secretly had strapped to his side and points it at the man. The man stops when Ed pulls out the gun. "I suggest you stop this nonsense before I have to put a bullet in your brain sir" Edward says. "You wouldnt dare pretty boy" the man mocks. "I would happily" He says with a smile. Suddenly a third man appears and pionts a gun at the tall man. "Who the hell are you"? The tall man questions. "Put your hands up!" demands the third man. "Jim"? Edward puts his gun away. The Third man looks over at Ed. "Ed? You were shot" Jim said. "What the hell" he says. "Its a long story" Edward says. "Fancy I would meet you here" Jim says. "I know, what a funny turn of events" Edward says. Edward then pionts his gun at the sealing and shoots it off three times. After three shots the room ducks and Edward runs off "BYE JIM"! Edward says running towards the exit using the momentary distraction to get away. He gets in his car and drives away. "NO WAIT"! Jim says running after him but Ed is already gone, Jim runs back inside and pionts the gun at the man again. "Dont think you are getting away from me, I taking you in for the money" Jim says as he arrests the man and gets him ready to transport him.
