Three days later

Jerome is currently relaxing on the sofa and Hannah is sitting next to him. She looks in a small pocket mirror and runs with a dark red lipstick over her lips. Jerome reads the newspaper next to her and whistles a tune in front of her. She presses her lips together a couple of times, then closes the mirror again.

"When exactly did he want to come again?", asks Hannah Jerome.

He pulls the paper away to look at Hannah. Then he looks at a clock hanging on the wall.

"For a hypnotist who always has a pocket watch with him, he is quite late.", complains Jerome.

Just when he had finished the sentence, it rings already at the door. Hannah gets up and opens it. With a big black hat and elegant clothes, Jervis stands in front of her with a grin.

"Good day my dear. Forgive my delay.", he greets her nobly.

Both go into the living room when Jerome is swinging up.

"My good old buddy. Well, how did you feel in the short time?", Jerome asks, pleased.

"I can not complain. James Gordon will get his revenge, that's why I'm here too. I need your help."

"Hmm, but only because you brought us out of Arkham.", agrees Jerome.

"And what do you want?", Hannah asks.

"The problem is that I can always enforce my plans, but never until the end. I alone can not defend myself against the GCPD, in the end I was always captured. That's why I need a few men, bodyguards.", says Jervis.

"The most security guards have a slightly unknown criminal in Gotham. He does his own business without anyone noticing. Now you come into the game I need him, you have to get rid of his personal guards and bring him here. I'll do the rest."

"Aha and may I ask what's called?", Jerome asks, while he holds his chin with his hand.

"His name is Rick Blanco, he's always on his yacht on the outskirts of Gotham."

"And how should we get on a yacht?", Hannah laughs derisively.

"You go to a club in the Narrows, everyone knows him there and you will make an appointment with him so you can easily get on the yacht.", replies Jervis.

Jerome snorts and answers with a laugh:

"Everything for a friend."

Jervis smiles back. Hannah and Jerome leave the apartment and make their way to the Narrows. It's already dark and they drive slowly through the dangerous streets to find a club somewhere. From a distance, a strong red light shines and in a large lettering on the building "Joker".

"I guess that's one.", says Hannah.

She parks at the side, both get out and go inside. One immediately comes across the loud music and stifling air in the face. Both squeeze through the crowd. People dance, laugh and drink around them. Jerome feels very uncomfortable and Hannah moves quickly through while she's holding his hand. A security man immediately notices the two and goes to them.

"Hey, we don't need you guys like that here. Certainly not the clown there.", he says sternly to both.

Jerome shouts angrily and just wanted to get out his revolver, but Hannah introduces himself puts her hand gently on his chest and replies:

"We are only looking for someone. Rick Blanco we want to make an appointment with him."

The man snorts mockingly but then he brings out his phone.

"Hey Jimmy, I have two here, they want to Blanco. I think he might like it."

He is still on the phone, then he goes back to the two.

"You're lucky. Blanco usually doesn't want to meet anyone from Arkham, but he makes an exception for you."

Hannah looks up, startled. Because in the Narrows people are looking for guys like Hannah and Jerome. They bring a lot of bounty from the GCPD.

"I have a good day today. Tomorrow at the harbor at 09:00 pm you will be picked up by a boat and put on his yacht.", he comments and winks at Hannah.

Then everyone goes out again, Hannah and Jerome back to the car. Cozy, they make their way back to Jervis.
