Oswald received a message, then headed out. "Come along Zsasz, Eliza. We have business to tend to." He said followed with a laugh. She followed him and Victor tailed behind her. They got in the car and drove to Don Falcone's home then entered inside. "Why are we here?" Eliza asked. "We're taking her down. Sshhh." Oswald said. Eliza wasn't uttering another word. She followed him obediently and he entered a room where Don Falcone was. "Hello again." Oswald said. "Penguin. New girl?" He asked. "Eliza." Oswald introduced. "Your daughter, sir, has manipulated this city and tried ruling it. I know, usually you would be proud but...the way she has done it is by sleeping with Jim Gordon. The very man who..." Oswald said but was cut from speaking. "I know what he did!" Don spoke loudly. "Call my daughter. Tell her to come here right now." He ordered one of his men. Eliza watched him walk away then looked back to Don. "What can the girl do?" He asked. "Her?" Oswald asked and pointed back to Eliza. "She can do whatever he does. He trained her." He answered and directed to Zsasz. "Oh. She might be a nice suit for us in the future." Don said. Eliza looked to Oswald's back and made a sound with her tongue pressed to the back of her teeth. She looked ahead again with a stern expression. The servant came back. "She's on her way." He said. "Good." Don replied. They waited for her to arrive then when she did, Penguin ordered Zsasz to go around and trap the girls. But he held back Eliza. Don and his bodyguards began to leave the room. Eliza stood beside Oswald. His hand gripping her arm firm but not hard. "Stay by me, and don't say a word." Oswald ordered. She gave a silent nod and put two fingers to the handle on one of her guns. "No. You won't need that." He said, then let go of her arm. "But keep in mind to if something starts." He told her, then listened in on the conversation. He turned and entered the room and she followed. Looking at Sofia and the girls with the top of her eyes. "Children. They can be such disappointments." Oswald said. Victor held Selina from behind with a gun to both Barbara and Tabitha. Sofia aimed at Oswald but Don slapped her hand down. "I kill him and It's over! Please!" She begged her father. He claimed he came when Oswald called because she would lose. And stated if she was anyone else but his daughter, she would be dead. Sofia looked to Oswald, trembling. Eliza had the tip of her tongue to her top lip and stared with eyes speaking of murder.

"Get your coat. You're leaving." Don told her. His guys walked to Sofia and escorted her out. "You three. Out." Done ordered Barbara, Selina and Tabitha. "Yes sir." Barbara said and ushered the girls out as Victor let them go. He holstered his guns and Don looked to Oswald and Eliza. "You can go back to whatever hole you hide in Penguin. We're done now." He told him and left the room. "Well, that's done. Let's go." He said and went hobbling back. Victor followed as they left out the back of the house. "This isn't over Oswald." Barbara told him. "Always a pleasure seeing you Ms. Kean." Oswald said and scrunched his nose, looking happy. "Drive, Tabitha." Barbara ordered. Tabitha drove their car away and gunshots started sounding at the front. "What the hell?" Victor asked. "Go! See what's happening!" Oswald ordered. Victor ran to the front. "Eliza! Stay here. Watch my back." Oswald said. She pulled her guns out and aimed, remaining back to back to Oswald. The gunfire stopped and everything was silent. Victor returned. "Don's dead." He said. "What?!" Oswald said, surprised. "Put your guns back. We're leaving. Now!" He said and hurried to the passenger side of the car. Eliza holstered her guns and got in the car as Victor got in the driver's seat then took off. "Where to?" He asked. "Back to the lounge!" Oswald commanded. He drove him back to the lounge then they got out and headed back in. As they stayed, waiting on the next move, Eliza was pacing in Oswald's office. He sat in his chair. "News is going to spread around. Eliza would you sit still please?" He asked of her. "Sorry boss." She replied and sat down. Victor entered the room as Oswald had the news on his television. "You would have told me, right? If we were gonna ice the old man." Victor said. "Victor I did not kill Don Falcone." Oswald replied. "Everyone on the street thinks you did." Victor told. "So let 'em!" Oswald replied. "My hands are clean. You have my word." Oswald said and lifted his hands up. Gesturing he didn't do it. Victor left the room then Oswald dropped his hands down and looked frustrated.
