Caramel ✔️

Adam

Yes, the one from Jamie Marks Is Dead...if you don't know that movie, watch it, Cameron Monaghan is Adam McCormick.  

Also, Jeromes body won't even be mentioned in this book until the next chapter, his revival will be slow like it was during the show, but not too bad, he'll still be mentioned until his body shows up at the GCPD with no face.  So just be patient! 

"What the hell are you doing here?"  Harvey asked reaching for the gun in his desk.  

"Hey, hey, hey!"  Harley said putting her hands up in surrender.  "I just want a job here, that's it I swear,"  Harley said her hands still in the air.

"After 3 years of you dropping off the face of the Earth, do you really expect us to hire you?!"  Harvey asked.  

"Well...yeah,"  Harley said with a shoulder shrug.  

The two guys looked at her in complete shock at her bluntness.  

"Look, I know I was a bad person, but--" 

"A bad person? You reeked havoc on this city, you and your little Jerome Valeska!  Your crazy!"  Harvey said.  Harley tilted her head at the bearded man. 

"Who's that?"  Harley asked with genuine confusion.  

Harvey was about to open his mouth to say something but Jim Gordon raised his hand to silence his friend.  

"Do you really want a job in the labs?"  Jim asked her.  Harley nodded her head, and Harvey and Jim looked at each other.  

"How can you prove you're good now then?  How can you prove you're not a criminal anymore?"  Jim asked.  

"I dunno.  I left Gotham because my friend took me away for a new beginning.  She never told me why we left. Just that I needed fresh air, and new surroundings.  Listen I really need this job.  I live up the street, I just bought that house that was up for sale."  Harley said.  

"I need to prove to my friend that I can live on my own, so that I don't have to live alone in the country anymore,"  Harley finished.  

"Fine."  Harvey said, "start tomorrow then kid--"

"Thank you so much!--"

"Woah, woah, woah, we need to make a deal here...Harley right?"  Harvey said to the teen.  

"Yeah..."  Harley said, ready to agree with Harvey's statement. 

"You can work in the labs, as long as you are sane, stable.....you are stable right?"  Harvey asked.  

Harley nodded, "I can get you my papers saying I'm sane by my therapist, I'm normal."  Harley added.  

"If you start to lose it, if you start to show signs of what you were before, you're done and we are putting you back in Arkham.  We'll lock you down so much so, you won't be able to get out.  Got that?"  Jim told her.  

"Of course,thank you!"  Harley said walking out and down the staircase.  As she was walking down, not looking where she was going, she collided with a body.  

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!"  She said helping the poor individual off the floor.  She picked up the dropped papers and handed them to the person.

"Nah, its good,"  A man said. "I should've been watching where I was going,"  He said again, his voice smooth like Caramel. She froze as two blue/green eyes gazed into her own.  She saw the red hair under the police hat and the freckles dusted over his face. It was quiet for a momement before she looked away with a blush.
