Psycho J.V

work

>Violet<

I knew that getting a job around here would be difficult, with the whole going to Arkham and escaping and teaming up with Jerome thing. The money that Jerome and I stole a long time ago was almost gone, even though I've been at home for a long time. I didn't know what to do. I knew that people were not going to accept a criminal/partially insane person in their work.

I decided to go pay old Jimbo a visit.

When I arrived at the precinct, I slipped on some fake glasses and threw on a hoodie. I styled my hair into two long braids and went inside. Everyone was pretty much busy, answering phone calls, dealing with criminals, and doing paperwork so I walked over to the commissioners office.

Instead of Essen's replacement, I found Harvey. Hmm I guess they really did take the commissioner to Arkham. "Yeah what do you need-? Holy shit." Harvey said once he realized who I was. I quickly held up my hands as Harvey pulled out his gun. "No no no! I'm not here to kill you or anything! I just need to talk to Jim." I said.

"Yeah and whys that? So you can kill him?" Harvey asked. "No. Just please get me Jim." I said. Just then Jim walked in. "Harvey what's-Violet?" Jim said. "Close the door." Harvey said and Jim closed it. "Jim can you please get your partner to put his gun down?" I said, my hands still up. "Harvey." Jim said. Harvey hesitated but listened.

"What are you doing here?" Jim asked. "I wanted to ask you if I could get a job." I said. "Hah where? No one wants a criminal especially if they were with Jerome!" Harvey said. "I know that. But I was wondering if there was something I could do here or somewhere else where my identity wouldn't be a problem." I said. "We could have you working in the back. You could do files." Jim said. "I'm sorry but who's the captain here?" Harvey said.

"Harvey I know I've had my..moments. But that's in the past and if I'm being honest, I think I'm going even more insane being alone in my house. I also need the money so please..can you give me this job?" I asked. He kept eyeing me, like he was trying to see if I was going to do something. "Come on Harv." Jim said. Harvey looked between Jim and I before sighing. "Alright." He said.

"Lee will also be in the back so she might ask you for files or something. She'll be in charge of you. The minute you go back to crazy psycho, your ass is on the next bus to Arkham, got it?" Harvey said and I nodded my head. "Jim go show her the office would ya?" Harvey said before he sighed as the phone rang. Jim took me to the back and showed me to the file room.

"Our last person kept this very organized so I dont think it should be hard to find files. Files should come in daily and if you have any questions ask Lee or me. Maybe not Harvey unless it's really important." He said. I nodded my head and he left. I looked around and saw file cabinets in all corners of the room. I saw the desk and sat down in the chair. I sighed and found some old files on the desk. I skimmed through the names and got up to find which files went in which cabinet.

I heard a knock on the door. "Come in." I called out. "Hi I'm Dr.Tompkins. I work across in the ME. I heard I was in charge of the new person." Lee said. I peeked my head from the cabinet and saw her face changed. She went from cheery to horrified. "What the hell?" She said. I quickly ran to her and she looked like she was gonna scream. I closed the door and covered her mouth. "Please don't scream. Harvey and Jim gave me this job because I really needed it and I promise I've somewhat changed. Well I stopped killing people and I was in hiding mode. But I won't kill you!" I said very fast.

She nodded her head and I removed my hand. "I just hope we can work together without any problems." I said. "I don't know. Considering the fact that your boyfriend wanted to kill me and you were with him, I'm not sure if I should trust you." Lee said. "Why does everyone say that?!" I snapped. "Yes I was dating him but I never got to actually kill all those people! I was just around because of Jerome!" I said.

Lee saw I was getting angry and was watching me. "Ok ok I'm sorry." She spoke softly. "I just..I just want everyone to forget about it and stop bringing him up. It's been a year. I don't need a constant reminder that he's dead." I said barely above a whisper. "I get it. I'll stop saying his name. I'll make sure Jim and Harvey know too." She said before walking out.

I quickly blinked away the tears that were starting to form. I continued putting away files and organizing some stuff. That was until I came across Jerome's file. I smiled at the picture taken of him. It was odd to see his face again. I didn't really have pictures of him. The only picture I have is where his head is on my chest and his eyes are closed. The picture made me realize that I was starting to forget what he looked like.

Yes I did cry about his death and remember about sad and happy memories we had but I now realized that his face was a blur in my memories. The only face features I remembered were his freckles, his pale skin, and that one strand of hair that always down over his eyebrow. I put his file aside and organized the rest. When I was done, I took Jerome's file and kept it in one of the drawers of the desk.
