"Hey! Look who it is!! Bruce Wayne. Nice to see ya, buddy." Falcone said, slapping Bruce on the back. "I haven't seen you in years! I guess you've finally grown a pair, huh?"
"Hello Falcone." Bruce said.
"I haven't seen you since you were eight and all you say is 'hello'? The hell's wrong with you?" Falcone was surprised Bruce didn't speak up.
"I didn't expect you to be here. You're not exactly the reminiscent type of guy." Bruce remarked.
"I was just catching up with your butler here. What's his name? Alvin?" Falcone asked.
"Alfred." Bruce corrected him.
"Ah, that's right. Alfred." Falcone looked at him.
"I'll wait outside for you, Bruce." Alfred walked out with Jim who said a quick goodbye to Bruce.
"Walk with me, Bruce." Falcone took Bruce on a walk throughout the prison. "Oh yeah. I know why you're here."
"You do?" Bruce asked.
"Yeah. That cop with the bushy stache informed me that you're here to see your parents killer. Chill." Falcone explained how he knew.
"That's right. What do you know about him?" Bruce asked Falcone.
"He's a criminal, I know that. He also killed both your parents in front of you. What a shame it is. I liked Thomas. He always agreed with me. Always listened to me. I liked that about him. Then there's Martha. The overprotective super fine mother." Falcone said.
"Don't talk about my mother like that." Bruce warned Falcone.
"You've got a lot of nerve talking to me like that. We're practically family for Christ's sake. Respect ole Uncle Carmine", said Falcone.
"You're obviously not a serious man. I'm surprised you're not in jail." Bruce said.
"Surprised? You take after your mother. Always getting in the goddamn way of things." Falcone exclaimed.
"What are you talking about? Always getting in the way of things? What do you mean by that?" Bruce asked him.
"I'm sorry, Bruce. I've got to go. Hope you had a fun talk with Joey. He sure is a hard person to talk to. But I'm a very..convincing man. I'll see ya around." Just like that, he vanished, reminding Bruce of that very night fifteen years back.
