Tales from Gotham

Sleeping arrangments

Edward had later decided to discuss the sleeping arrangments with Mister Penguin. He was in his bedroom at his desk doing paperwork. He was not only in a black polo and some jeans and no shoes. Edward figured he didn't feel like wearing his suit around the house. Edward had knocked on the door three times before Penguin said "Come in" on the other end. Edward comes in and Penguin says "Yes, Hello what did you need Edward"? Penguin asks not looking up from his work.

"I wanted to talk about where we would put Johnny" Edward says. "Oh, right we do need to discuss that" Penguin says putting his pen around and spinning around in his chair so he would be facing Edward. "Well, we cant put him in the spare room, since its empty, unless of course he wants to sleep on the floor, or we could put him in either your or my room and just share a room, or just leave him on the couch till we get a bed for the other room, since all that is in there is dressers" Penguin says. "Well, I do have an old blow up mattress for the time being" Edward says to him. "Good then use that, and just put his stuff in there" Penguin says. "Right" Edward says.

"Edward, why are you so curious about Indian hills"? Penguin asks. "Ivy asked" he says. "Are you just looking for a reason to challenge your brain" Penguin asks him. "Well, yes" Edward asks. "I know that there is a group that owns Wayne Enterprises, but I dont know who they are, but ill give you a name of someone who knows about it" Penguin writes down a name on a piece of paper and a number. "Talk to them" After Edward takes the piece of paper, Penguin turns around to continue his work. Barbara had gone out to get something from the shop, so it was now just Jerome and the kids in the living room.

When Edward comes out into the living room again Jerome is telling the kids stories. "and than the big bad wolf huffed, and he puffed, and he blew the house down"! Jerome says as he blows in Ivys face. Ivy laughs. "Love you Jerome" she says as she hugs him. "Love you too angel" he says patting her hair softly. "You are good with kids" Edward says as he sits down next to Jerome. "Mind watching them while I go out to do something" Edward says. "Where you going Edward"? Jereome asks. "Oh, just someone I need to talk to, wont be long, maybe an hour" Edward explains. Jerome nods "Sure I can keep these little brats in line" Jerome says. "Hey! I am not a brat"! Ivy says crossing her arms. "You are the biggest one of all" Jerome says as he tickles her. "NO!... I am not"! she says with a laugh. "Of course you arnt, like when you put salt in daddys cereal" he says to her. "It was april fools"! Ivy protests. "It was still mean, and you ruined breakfast"! Jerome says. "Serves you right" Ivy says. "For what"? he says. "For putting a whoopie cushion under my butt! that what"! she says.

Edward had walked into his room to put on his coat and drove off the lot of the house. He sitting alone in his car in an empty parking lot makes the call. "Hello? I need imformation about Wayne enterpises, and I will make it worth your wild" he says. "How about a very valuble favor" Edward says. "So, you will accept? Meet you on the center of Ave and 9th? Right ill be there in about 20 minutes." Edward says and hangs up the phone. Edward arrives at the location in 20 minutes and is standing in an Alley way. "Wheres the guy"? The man asks. "The man who ows me a favor lives on the other end of town at the impound lot" Edward says pulling out a card with a question mark on it and handing it to the guy. "Give him that, he ows me one" Edward says with a smile. "Now tell me, who is running Waynes Enterprises"? he asks. "Court of Owls is what they call themselves, they are a secret orginization that secretly owns all the major Companys. Wayne Enterpises use to be private but since they started selling out all the shares, the one with the most shares owns it. That persons name is Elizebeth Taylor" He explains to Edward. Edward nods "Thank you" and Edward gets in his car and drives back home.
