Pax was up and ready to search the penthouse by 8:00 am. She eased down the stairs as quietly as she could. She abruptly stopped as she turned the corner as she noticed a man sitting on the living area sofa with a bored expression on his face. Oswald sat straight as he placed his hands in his lap, "And you are?"
Pax tilted her head slightly as she walked to the stranger, "I was about to ask you the same thing."
Oswald smirked, "Are you a new toy?"
Pax squinted angrily at the man, "Toy?"
"Ya know, his new obsession?" Oswald rolled his eyes.
Pax heaved out a laugh, "Is that why your here?"
Oswald smile faded, "Excuse me?"
"Are you worried I'm taking your place? Ya know I don't like to take it up the rear, but you..?" Oswald slightly smirked.
Pax was caught off guard as Frost covered her mouth from behind, "Ok Pax, that's enough."
Pax's chest heaved as she continued to glare at Oswald, "Hello Frost, who's the kid?"
Pax wiggled her head free from his hand, "Im not a kid, and I could kick your.."
Frost covered her mouth again as he smiled sarcastically as he drug her out of the room. Pax shrugged him off as they entered a joining office, "Get off of me!"
Joker, Harley and Oswald stood outside the door as they heard the friends arguing, "Watch your mouth Pax!"
Pax paced angrily back and forth, "Where were you! You fucking ratted me out to your boss?! Why? I got you out so many times! I tricked the GCPD, by placing your bracelet on Sampson!" As she said it, Joker, Harley and Oswald tilted their heads to notice Sampson's anklet as he sat up when she said his name. Pax was now crying while she shook her head, "You lied to me Frost! You said I would never be trapped! Well look the fuck around you big dumb ape! I'm back where I started and it's all because of you."
Pax could tell she hit a nerve, as Frost chest heaved. He didn't say anything as he strutted past the spectators. Pax cut her eyes at the three, "Enjoying the show?!"
Oswald chuckled as he crossed his arms, "I think I'm going to like her."
Harley rolled her eyes as she tucked her arm into Jokers, "Come on Puddin, I'll make your favorite breakfast."
Joker calmly took her arm as she lead him away.
Pax turned to the window with silent tears. She felt as Oswald stood next to her. He reached into his pocket and handed her a handkerchief. Pax accepted it and patted her eyes, "I'm sorry for those mean things I said earlier. My mouth can get the best of me sometimes."
Oswald extended his hand, "Oswald Cobblepot."
Pax accepted his introduction, "Penelope Andrea Xavier."
