Word spread quickly when something terrible and mysterious happened. Now, she saw a reason to go home. The papers spoke of a mysterious death—a woman found in an abandoned building. Everything about the case seemed familiar to her. "Hugo I have to go back. I know we said we wouldn't, but I know this criminal. And Gotham used to be my home. Who knows? They might accept us if we stop this person."

The man beside her looked up, frowning. "Fish. You know half the criminals in Gotham. But this one will not change our standing there. They won't welcome us as heroes, especially you."

Fish glared at him, unable to accept this. "No. They will. They have to. We won't give them a choice… or he won't anyway. They're going to need us. They'll need me. I know this person… I do!"

Hugo watched her. "Fine. If it's that important to you, go back. But know this, Fish Mooney. The second you enter Gotham, our partnership is over. I can't afford it if you're simply going to put the life I gave you in danger. But I wish you the best of luck."

She stood, nodding in his direction as she walked outside. "Fine. It wouldn't have lasted anyway."

Oswald Cobblepot had only agreed to meet with Jim Gordon because he needed answers as much as anyone. "This was no one I know. I would've heard of a plot like this."

Gordon nodded. "But is there anyone we haven't been warned about? Anyone that might be dangerous?"

Penguin laughed. "There are many dangerous people in this city my friend. You should know that better than anyone. But no… I have no idea who could be behind this. Don't the police have a suspect?"

Gordon shook his head. "If they do, they haven't told me yet."

Penguin nodded. "Well, let me know if you get word of anything. People can't just disappear and be found dead a few days later. It starts with one, but we can count the number of times something like this happened—where someone gets hurt and then it's a widespread crime spree. And somehow, my friend, you and I always end up in the middle of it."

Gordon nodded, knowing he was right as he stood. "Indeed we do."
