Harvey POV

"Yeah. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Jim." After Jim walks away I turn back to watch Randall.

"No. No. No. Oh no." He moans clenching his fist in and out like the father of our first victim.

"Holy Ghost on a Bicycle." I just realized who the real person behind these attacks truly is.

Jim POV

"Barbara?"

"Jim look, I don't know a lot but I know enough. You have to listen to me now." Barbara says pulling a large thing of suitcases.

"Baby, I can barley stand." I reply.

"Montoya has a witness."

"What?" I reply exhaustedly.

"They really believe that you killed this Cobblepot person."

"I didn't."

"It doesn't matter anymore. They have a warrant for your arrest. What aren't you telling
Me? For weeks now it's as if you've been a different person. Something happened not long after you started the job. Something... Something you don't feel right about."

"Somehow they've cornered me, tied my hands."

"Come with us now. Ok? I don't care what I leave behind as long as we all leave together."

"If they take you away Jim, I'm scared that I'll loose you."

" We don't want to loose you daddy." Jayden and Sabrina reply as tears stream down their faces.

"Barbara.."

"Please...." As she pleads with me we hear a knock on the door. We both know who is behind it.

"I can't run. I can't run." I reply opening the door.

"James Gorden your under arrest for the murder of Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law."

"Daddy!" Jayden and Sabrina scream as I am lead out the door. Bella, who since being rescued is staying with us momentarily, glares angrily at Montoya and her partner and let's out a low growl her eyes flashing in anger.

"They is gonna pay fowa this!"

Harvey POV

"I'm sorry to interrupt."

"It's Detective Bullock isn't it?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you want to interview Mr. Hastings?" The therapist asks.

"Actually, your secretary said I might be able to find you here. I was hoping to pick your brain about the case?"

"Oh. Um... I'll just be a minute it's ok."

"I didn't realize this before. Your a hypnotist right?"

"A hypnotherapy.

"Ah. Therapist. It's a funny word therapist. So you do pro-bono work at an out patient clinic? A couple of them?"

"I do. I try to give back."

"Yeah, you've been giving back for quiet sometime now, 12 years. That's good. To be honest I wanted to talk to you about one of your pro-bono patients. Raymond Earl. He's a person of interest in our investigation. Our records indicate that you've seen him a least a few times right?"

"Humm. Sounds familiar. Last year maybe."

"And Mr. Hastings Amanda's father, we know that he's your patient. When we were here yesterday he was doing something really curious. He umm, he kept clenching his fist. Over and over."

"Yes he does that." The Dr replies.

"Yeah, see I was reading about that, it said that if a patient has a compulsion like a bad idea or an impulse that the hypnotist could put the poor sap under and introduce a physical movement. Like clenching your fist. So instead of doing what the compulsion wants the person to do they just clench their fist."

"That's how it works pretty much."

"So Mr. Hastings when he's in a room full of people and he wants to start I don't know, screaming his head off, instead he would just clench his fist." The Therapist nods. "Yeah ok. What about Raymond Earl? Why does he clench his fist? And what about Randall Milkey? See I know that you treated him a little over ten years ago. And I want you to follow me because this part gets a little weird. See I think a hypnotist completely turned both those men upside down until their own identity was the bad idea. And then it wasn't even them clenching their fist anymore. It was the Sprit of the Goat."

"Humm. I underestimated you. I really did." The therapist says with a slight laugh as she sits down in a nearby chair.

"So I am right. Aha I'm right. And so you trolled all the out patient clinics so you could find a suitable borderline case like Randall Milkey, and then you hypnotized the poor guy until he literally doesn't even know who he is."

"And then I tell him who he is. That's pretty good intellectual Detective."

"Why? Why hypnotize a janitor and turn him into the Goat."

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me."

"It isn't an act of murder or madness. It's an act of therapy."

"Therapy? For who?"

"For Gotham."

"Excuse me?"

"This city use to have hope. And they gunned it down in the streets. The rich, the powerful. Their greed is pathological. An Id run rampant eating Gotham alive."

"So your 1% solution is to kill the cities rich kids?"

"Negative reinforcement. To believe that the Goat is real that it wouldn't tolerate this, Gotham wanted that. No matter how painful it was."

"Ok. But that doesn't explain why you targeted Jayden Gorden. He was found on the streets of Gotham along with his little sister. Those kids aren't rich."

Dr. Marks smiles evilly at me. "Ah but Gorden is their adopted name. Why couldn't you and your partner find information on those two little kids when you first found them? Their father, their real father, is very much alive."

"Woah, back it up. Your telling me, their father is one of Gotham's richest families?"

"Yes. And use to be one of the most powerful families in Gotham. However, hundreds of years ago, something terrible supposedly happened between their father's family and another powerful family in Gotham."

"Tell me his name."

"It doesn't matter now. Because of what happened, they fell from grace so to speak. They were banished from Gotham and their name and history erased. They even had to change their name."

"Alright, but then why kidnap Bella? She isn't the First born of a rich family. Heck, she isn't even a real Wayne."

"Yes. Hers is a rather special circumstance. While it's true, she isn't the first born of a rich family, she has been taken under the wing of two very powerful families in Gotham. That makes her a target. It's true what they say, you can't really hypnotize someone to do something that deep down they don't already want to do. And deep down, we all want to eat the rich. Don't we?"

"You are 100% nuthouse crazy lady."

"Dr. Marks is everything ok?" Mr.Hastings asks.

"No it's not ok. Dr. Marks your under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder, coercion, and frankly a few things we are probably going to have to name after you."

"Well I do have another one for you. Robbert, the Golden Temple is open now kill this man." Dr Marks replies with a smile.

"Robbert. Heel Mr. Hastings, heel." I say as I struggle with him. Eventually I'm able to knock him unconscious and am able to shoot the good doctor in the leg before she is able to escape."

"One more time. Take me the part to where you drove to the nice part of town and shot the Doctor lady?"

"We caught the other half of the killer. Dr. Marks was the Sprit if the goat."

"Okay see, that's the part that I don't understand."

"We are on the same side. Don't you understand? We are fighting the same war and dam it I'm getting somewhere!" Jim yells at Montya and her partner.

"Getting into a 6 by 8 at Blackgate pen."

"What is this?"

"MCU's taking detective Gorden into custody."

"What?"

"Your boy here murdered Oswald Cobblepot and dumped him in the river."

"That's a damn lie!" Harvey yells at them.

"He's right. It was a lie. I didn't shoot Oswald Cobblepot. I lied. I didn't shoot him Bullock."

"Of course you didn't partner."

"No. I mean it."

"Harvey Bullock, your under arrest."

"For what?" Harvey demands as they start to cuff him.

"Accomplice in the murder of Oswald Cobblepot. Our witness places you at the scene."

"You think you can walk in here and take my people like that?" Essic demands angrily.

"Look we are not here to take down the GCPD, just these two." Montoya replies.

"Yeah well they are GCPD, so MCU's got a problem."

"Let them go Montoba!" I growl and she looks at me in surprise.

"Look kid, I don't know who you think you are but, I'm afraid that, your request is well, it simply isn't possible. They broke the law."

"No they didn't."

"Look kid, we have witnesses who will testify that Gorden shot Oswald Cobblepot and dumped his body in the river. Besides, who do you think you are kid, messing with official police business?"

At this I scoff. "If you dumb dumbs did you job then you would know who Me am. You would also know that Oswald is not gone bye bye. Me seem him lots of times. Now let Mista Gowden and Bullock go! Cause twust me, you don't want to make me mad Montoya."

"Look sweetheart, it's really nice that you want to help your friends, but it is wrong to lie to a police officer."

At this, my eyes flash as they always do when I'm upset and I let out a deep growl. "Me name is Wosebella Cathewina Wayne Mawoni Falcone and Me neba lies! Oswawd is alibe!" I reply stubbornly clenching my fist in anger.

"Yeah, you've got a problem! You've got a real problem! You!" Harvey yells but stops mid sentence as the door to the GCPD opens and in walks Oswald. "Holy crap!"

"Hello. I am Oswald Cobblepot."

"You SOB!" Hawvey screams at Jim.

"Harvey." Jim replies with a sigh.

I follow Jim and Hawbey hoping that maybe they can tell me how to get back to the pawk.
I watch as Hawbey hits Jim and Jim falls to the floor. "I thought we were friends! Now I've got to kill you and drag your body to Falcone and beg him, beg him for mercy!"

"You hawm a haia on James's head you will answea to me!" I hiss at Harvey who glared at me for a moment. "I don't have a choice kid. Falcone will kill me if he finds out that Jim didn't do what he told him too. I have to watch my own back."

"Nu he won't."

"Yeah and why is that kid? What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be back at Wayne Manor?"

"Fiwst off nu. Second, Gampa no huwt you if me ask him not too."

"Wait, did you just say Grampa?" Harvey asks and I nod.

"Wes. A fweind of his wescue me fwom Mawoni's men cause they was gonna make me go bye bye. Afta a while, Gwampa sent me back to the Wayne home but me no wanna stay so me wan away. Daddy Sal made me angwy cause him huwt Oswald so me wan away fwom him. Now me is me staying wifth Gwampa Falcone again but me got kidnapped by the Goat. Me come to the station so they can take me home."

"What were you doing with Maroni? Why aren't you at Wayne Manor?" Jim asks.

"Me told you, me wan away."

"Why would you run away again?"

"Cause Bwuce no want me to stay. And me want to stay wifth me new mama and daddy. Daddy Sal scawed me so me wan to Gwampa house. Me pwomise Gampa won't huwt you, cause you is me fweinds. But if you huwt Gowdon, then we not fweinds anymowa. Me let Gampa's men huwt you." I warn Harvey who looks at me in complete shock. Harvey gulps.

"Listen to me. I screwed up. But I have a plan to make things right. Don't kill me. Help me." Jim pleads.

"You think I'm stupid?" Harvey spots some cops walking in our direction and yells at them "walk away!" They immediately do as Harvey tells them. While he is distracted Jim uses this to his advantage and disarms him and make him land on his back.

"You'd better hope I never see you again!" Hawvey hisses at Jim.

Barbara POV

I am sitting at a chair as my phone begins to vibrate. I begin to shudder. "Wow. What a place huh? A beautiful home for a beautiful lady."

"But Please leave my children out of this I'm begging you. Please, just tell me what you want."

"I guess there's no harm in the truth. You see, your boyfriend was supposed to kill a certain person for somebody. Only he didn't. And now that somebody is real mad."

"Cobblepot."

"What?"

"He didn't kill Cobblepot."

"There you go. You are hip. You are hip. That Jim Gorden is one lucky son of a gun. What are you like a hundred pounds? 110?" The man smells my hair and the sighs. "I bet that is your real hair color too."

"What are you going to do to Jim?"

"Have you even been with a criminal? Some girls find it are real turn on."

Just then Jim turns the corner his gun pointed at the men. "Hay. Speak of the devil. I was just getting to know your lovely lady."

"Your trespassing get out."

"Slow down there hoss. Your misreading the situation. I'm the shot caller here."

"The situation is you'be been told to bring me in alive or else I'd be dead already. But I'll be happy to kill you right here, right now."

"Don't be such a hard-ass. Come on, you know the rules. You play nice. You take your lumps nobody else gets hurt."

"You tell your friend to drop his gun or I'll blow his brains out."

"OMG, Jim."

"It's ok. It's under control."

"Drop your gun."

"Ok. Have it your way. But after we kill you, we kill the blondie your kids too, nice and slow."

That pushes Jim over the edge and he shoots the one man and decks the other. "We've got to go. Right now." I continue to stare at the bodies of the men. "Barbara." Jim says snapping me out of it. "Barbara, listen."

"No. No. No. No."

"Just a couple of days and then I'll join you. There are things I need to do."

"Fine. Then if you stay, we stay. Okay? Because I love you Jim. I can not leave you."

"I love you too. That's why you need to leave. If I know that your safe there is nothing they can do to me. I'll make things right and then I'll come join you."

"And what if you don't?"

"Don't come back. Don't come back to Gotham."

"No, Jim." I plead with him but as much as it breaks my heart I know that this is the right thing to do. After giving him a hug Jayden Sabrina and I board the bus.

Hawbey wait. Can you help me find me way back to the pawk? Me suwa me can find Gwampa Falcone theya. Him lines to feed the biwdiys."

"Sure kid." With that he drops me off just around the corner from the park. "I take it you can find your way from here?"

"Wes." When I arrive back at the park Me see Gwampa . He's still talking to a lady. He hasn't even realized that I had been gone. Instantly my eyes filled with tears and I slumped down
onto the ground and began to cry.

Falcone POV

It took me a little while to realize that Bella had gone missing. "Bella, Princess, where have you been? Do you realize how worried I've been about you?"

"Weally? Cause, You seem like you not eben know me was gone." (Really? You seem like you not even know that me was gone.) You was too busy talking to that lady."

At this my eyes widen in realization. My little princess was jealous. I couldn't help but chuckle slightly. "Is my Princess jealous?"

"Nu." Bella replied with a pout.

"Yes you are. Are you worried that she might take me away from you? That she might convince me to send you back to where you truly belong? Back to Wayne manor?" Bella nods.

"What if she no like me?" Bella whimpers.

"Sweetheart, you don't have to worry about that. Eliza and I just met. I will admit that you will be seeing a lot more of her though."

"Why?"

"She's struggling to make ends meet so I offered her a job."

"Oh." What

"Come. I have another important meeting to attend and I'm bringing you with me. It's time you learned the family business." With that we proceeded to the emergency meeting the rest of the family memebers had called.

"This can not stand! Gorden must die! Bullock must die, Penguin must die today!" Fish stated angrily.

Meanwhile, I choose to inspect the large group of hens that a farmer has brought for me. "And Maroni too I suppose?" I reply with a sigh as I inspect a hen.

"If need be." Fish replies.

"Your over reacting. This penguin is a nobody, you want to start a war over the guy that carried your umbrella?"

"He was on my hip everywhere with me. He knows things." Fish replies defensively.

"Like what?" Bella asks and I smile at her.

"She took the words right out of my mouth."

"Too much. He knows too much." Fish replies.

Bella tugs on my sleeve "me no like that answea: it's to what's that wowd?" Bella whispers.

"Vague?"

"Yeah that."

"Go to Maroni and ask him politely, to hand over your little man."

"The key wowd (word) is politely." Bella replies.

"If he refuses, then we can talk about stronger measures."

"Maybe he'd be more inclined to do as we ask if we give him someone in return." Fish said glancing in Bella's direction. Bella immediately hides behind me and whimpers slightly. I look down at her and place a hand on her should in comfort. Before I can respond Niko speaks up.

"Boss this is a weak response. I hate to agree with Fish, but we need to show strength now. We need to hit back hard. No talk. Gorden dead, penguin dead. Done." Niko replies.

"Who asked you?!" Bella replies somewhat angrily.

"Relax Niko. I know what I'm doing. Where is Gorden? You were bringing him with you?" Gampa replies.

"No. He wouldn't come without a struggle. Now I don't know if he's just plain tough or crazy, but he's at work right now like nothing is wrong." Fish replies.

"I'll send Victor to fetch him."

"No need. My guys can handle him."

"I'll send Victor." I reply again. That's a nice handsome bird huh?"

"I don't know chickens." Fish replies clearly irritated.

Fish POV

"Fall back the old man is right there:" I tell Niko as he goes to caress my behind.

"Screw him. He's done. Now's the time to strike." Niko replies.

"Not yet."

"Not yet? Not yet? If not now, when? Look at him, Maroni's clan are laughing at us and he plays with chickens."

"That's what has me worried. The chickens. He's happy, relaxed as if he doesn't have a care in the world."

"Your girl's doing here job then." Niko replies.

"No. She says he hasn't touched her. She cooks and she cleans for him. He likes to watch her do chores."

"Weird. But if that's his thing."

"No. He's acting as if he knows something important that nobody else knows." I reply.

Bella POV

I watch as Fish and the man she was yelling at is now talking witfh (with) each otha (other) whispewing (whispering) to each otha (other) while glancing ovwa (over) at us ebewy (every) once and a while. I frown what were they up to? Their behavior seemed odd.
