Tales from Gotham

Murder friends

Eddy had stopped murdering for about a week and was waiting to see if the detectives could figure out his clues. He decided that night he would visit Penguin unannounced in the middle of the night. Penguin was a light sleeper, so he woke up when he heard a loud bang and shuffling coming from the living room. He was alarmed and got up. He grabbed a bat that he had by his nightstand. It was dark and Victor was asleep in his room, and no one else was staying at the house aside from Penguin and Victor. 

Penguin slowly approached the door carrying his bat. He was in long purple silk pajamas. He clicks on the lamp by his bedside which didn't entirely illuminate the room but gave him some site in the darkness. It was 2 in the morning when he was rudely awaken from his peaceful slumber. He slowly opened the door and peered outwards holding the bat ready to strike in one hand. He looks around but cant see a lot in the darkness. "Hello"? he said cutiously and waits as he slowly leaves his room looking around every which way but can barely see past the perimiter of his bedroom. 

He didnt want to turn his entire bedroom light on as it might alert the intruder. Suddenly he sees a tall figure approaching in the darkness and he strikes. He swings straight foward and hears a groan, and than pulls the bat over his head bringing it downward. Whatever it was dropped straight to the floor. Penguin moved his finger along the wall trying to find the switch and finally does. What he sees is a tall man with brown hair, and a long coat. "Penguin... Its Ed" The figure said. Ed groans as he stands up, the hieght difference between the two becomes far more apperent as Edward stands up right. Ed is grabbing his head with one hand, and the other is on his stomach. "Nice greeting" Eddy says with a pained laugh. 

"Ed? What is gods name are you doing breaking into this place and making all this noise! You know im a light sleeper and very parinoid! What WERE YOU THINKING"! Penguin scolds Eddy. "Serves you right, I dont apoligize for your suffering! You were rude EDWARD! Apologize now"! Penguin demands in a huff turning to the side crossing his arms looking away from Ed. Penguin did feel bad for hitting Ed but he did think Ed breaking in was stupid. Why couldnt he just knock instead of being a creep and breaking into the house like that. "What an idiot"! Penguin thought. Ed smiles "Yes, I suppose I deserved that reaction, its only naturual to lash out at an unknown intruder in ones home" Ed says. "I was attempting to sneak into your bedroom without waking the house" Ed explains. "Ed, thats just creepy, and you made so much damn noise if we were in a less isolated area you would have woken half the damn neighborhood, you twit"! Penguin argues back. "My apologies" Ed says with another pained laugh. "What on earth are you here for anyways?" he questions. 

Ed speaks again "Well, I wanted to go murdering with you" Edward says. Penguin turns to Ed twisting his feet and turning on the tip of his heel. He looks up to Ed stretching his neck up. "You know I dont kill for fun Edward" Penguin says. Edward smiles "Come on, for old time sake, ill find a good victem for you" Edward says with a big grin on his face. "You know the GCPD is looking for you, everyone knows you are alive" Penguin says. "I figured as much, is Jim looking for me"? Edward says. "No, I paid him not to, but he also doesnt care, he said you are not worth the effort anymore" Penguin says to him his arms still crossed. Edward expression drops and he frowns. "Oh, I was kind of hoping he would have" Edward says. "Oh well" Edward says. "Ed, what is your obsession with Jim Gordon? You already destroyed him, you really think he cares to play with you anymore"? Penguin shoots back in annoyance. "Well.. I was just, he is the only one smart enough to solve it, I thought it would be a fun way to test my intellect and he doesnt even care anymore" Edward says with a sigh. "I guess there no point in playing anymore... but killing is a lot of fun" Edward says with a giggle as the smile comes back to his face. 

Penguin has his eyes shut and has a irritated expression on his face. He sighs and exhales his breath. He opens his eyes and looks up at him and asks "and who exactly would we kill Edward"? Penguin asks with a the smile that says im listening, but not that I nesscacarly care. "I dont know, someone you dont like, someone who has been cuasing you trouble, or I could find another street walker" Edward explains with a thoughtful expression on his face trying to think of victems. "You have been murdering hookers"? Penguin asks raising a brow. "I.. Yes I have" Eddy says as he looks back and his grin grows wider. "They are very easy targets, and its so funny watching the expression on thier face as you take advantage of thier helplesness" Edward explains. "Ed, you are beginning to worry me" Penguin says. Eddy tilts his head and leans foward "Ah, you dont like a little Sadism yourself Mister Penguin?" Edward asks. "Not to the degree you do" Penguin explains. 

This conversation is broken when Victors door opens. He comes out "Boss"? he asks and then notices Edd. "Hes alive boss" Victor says looking over at Eddy. "Yes, that is ovbious " Penguin spits back rudely. "I heard talking and it woke me from my slumber" Victor says. "Odd, you seem to have slept fine through the loud banging" Penguin says his head turned towards Victors direction. "There was banging"? Victor asks looking at Penguin. Penguin looks back and sighs heavily. His back and head is now turned towards Victors direction. "Edward is not dead, I thought I killed him, I did try to kill him, he pissed me off, but it turns out he lived and later after that event contacted me at the club, and than disappeared" Penguin explains.  Victor comes in and smiles and puts his hand out "Nice seeing you again Ed, Missed you around here, and my lips are sealed" Victor says. Edward shakes his hand "Good to be back" Edward says with a smile. 

"Well... if you dont mind I am going back to bed" Penguin turns around and walks to his door. "No wait! Dont GO!" Edward begs. "Give me one reason not too... Ed" Penguin looks back with sense of irritation in his vioce. "What do you want Eddy"? Penguin says turning around and looking up at Ed. "Ive missed you, come kill something with me" Eddy says with a joyful excited smile. Victor smirks as a smile starts to appear on his face. "May I join as well" Victor asks. Eddy looks over at Victor and his face lights up "Oh my goodness yes"! Ed says and then looks back at Penguin. Penguin humphs "You two are equally terrible" He says as he opens the door to his room "Let me get dressed in something, I cant murder nothing in Pjs can I"? Penguin says. "Oh Goody!" Eddy says clenching his fists together in excitement. The door shuts as penguin enters the room. Victor walks up to Edward and his expression goes serious and he asks "What did you say to Mister Penguin to make him want to kill you" Victor asks. "I told him I betrayed him, but that was part of the plan, I didnt expect Penguin and Jim to get involved, but I wanted improvised" Edward explains. "You wouldnt really betray the boss would you"? Victor asks. "If there is one persons whos side I am on its Oswalds, no matter what I do" Edward explains. Victor smiles "Good, I admire loyalty" victor. says. 

Edward is shirtless and wearing Pj bottoms. "I should change too then" Victor says as he goes to his room and comes out with black tight jeans a belt with spikes on it and a silver buckle and a muscle shirt. Penguin comes out wearing a powder blue buttonup shirt and long tan pants and white sneakers. "Im not going to bother putting on a suit, if you are going to wake me at 2 in the morning to go murder something" Penguin deffends crossing his arms. "I think you look good no matter what you wear" Edward says with a smile. "Oh shut up Ed" Penguin says walking past him and heading towards the door. "Whos driving and what car"? Penguin asks. "Ill drive boss"! Victor says. "Great"! Penguin says grabbing his own car keys and tossing them at Victor and Victor catches them. "We will take my car" Penguin says. "Right boss" Victor says. Edward is wearing a white button up long sleeves and a green tie, and his coat over. He had black pants on and black shined shoes and his typical dorky nerd glasses. Victor gets in the front driver seat, Penguin gets in the back and sits next to Ed. Edward slighly drops a letter in Penguins lap. Penguin looks at it and shoves it in his side pocket and looks up at Edward. Edward winks at him. 

Victor looks back "Eddy, this was your idea how are we suppose to find a victem"? he asks. "Well, Penguin what do you think"? Edward says looking at Penguin with a hudge smile on his face. "Come on freind" Penguin says. Penguin says "Jimmy Hamilton, he use to bully me in Highschool, if you want to pay him a visit, there not a lot of people I could think of killing or hurting right now. Penguin explains.
