Partners In Crime

Lilys POV:
"Tabby, you're good at finding people, right?" I asked while we were on our way back to Theo's penthouse.

"Yeah, why?"

"Do you think you could find my sister?"

"Lily, I can't jus-"

"Just hear me out. She killed our father before she burned the house down, she then fled here to Gotham. Look I don't want her to get hurt, you know what it's like here in Gotham. She's only 13. If you can't I understand, just please consider it."

"I'll see what I can do. I'll help you find her."

"So will I." Leila chimed in.

"Thank you guys."

"Any time." Tabby said.

When we walked in the penthouse everyone's jaw dropped. The attention making me slightly uncomfortable.

"Don't you girls look lovely." Theo said walking towards us.

"Thanks." I replied.

"Both of you come with me to my office, we have matters to discuss." Leila and I both nodded and went with Theo, Tabby following behind us. Once we were all in his office Tabby shut the door.

"I'm gonna get straight to the point here. You girls are going to be the brains of the operation."

"Meaning...?" I asked.

"You'll both be in control of making things run as smoothly as possible."

"We'll still get to participate in the missions right?" Leila asked.

"Yes of course. Think of yourselves as the team leaders, you'll both be the face of the 'MANIAX' and you'll be stars! The city will tremble before you, so what'd you say girls, are you in?" Leila and I both looked at each other and nodded.

"Hell yeah we are." I told him.

"Good. Now I have a mission for you all tonight."

"Ooo, what is it?" Leila asked excitedly.

"You'll round the guys up and take them to the yellen shipyard and kidnap 7 workers. After that you'll take them all to the Gotham Gazette and drop them off the top of the building. Also make sure to grab a truck loaded with gasoline from the shipyard, that'll come into play later."

"Got it." Leila told him.

"So when is this taking place again?" I asked.

"Right now. And oh, make sure to put the hostages in straight jackets."

"Will do. We'll round the boys up." I said as Leila and we left the room.

"Hi boys! Theo told us to round you up, we got mission!" I said as I looked around at all of them, however Jerome was no where in sight. "Hey Luis! Where's Jerome?"

"Uh, I think he's in his room. Want me to go get him?"

"No, I got him, you help get everything else ready." He nodded and walked away. "Leila, I'm gonna go grab Jerome, you got these guys?"

"Yeah I got em." I nodded and walked off in the direction of Jerome's room. When I got there I knocked on the door.

"Jerome. We got a mission to go on." I waited a few seconds but no answer. "It involves killing people." I said, try to coax him out of his room. I heard what sounded like whimpers. "Jerome?" Still no answer but I still heard whimpering. "Alright, I'm coming in." I went cautiously into his room not knowing what I'd find. He was asleep on his bed, sweating really bad.
