Gotham Knights: Homecoming
Chapter 2.
"Well here we are then Master Bruce, home sweet home at last." (replied the British Butler as their Black Lamborghini MurciƩlago Engine roared to a stop in front of the lawn of Wayne Manor located South at the very edge of Gotham close to the Gotham Slaughter Swamp woods and North of Gotham Acres.) "Although next time Master Bruce I suggest you have me drive the Flattop next time sir, not that I enjoy a good high class high speed engine car I much though prefer a simpler vehicle." (Bruce laughed at the first good laugh one could say he has had in years, a certainly that would give old Alfred a twinkle in his eye.) "Alfred you never cease to make me chuckle, and yes I suppose you have a point there with a car that wont screech down the sidewalk like a lady moaning in moaning in bed." (Alfred face palmed directly at that, one could say humor was not a strong suit for Bruce Wayne then again most don't know Bruce beyond the Billionaire Playboy persona he would put onto others, that is no one better then Alfred Pennyworth.) "Were going to need to see about giving you a lesson in humor next time were in the city I do so know the Gotham Hijinks Playhouse gives a few lessons here and there." (Bruce shook his head at that) "Out of the many things I need to learn humor is not one of them I am to be a symbol of Justice to help clean Gotham free of criminal scum not the next headliner at the Stacked Deck." (Alfred would look down disappointed and sigh but ever the fateful manservant Butler and secrete keeper he continued up the steps into the Grand Entrance Foyer to Wayne Manor with Bruce's luggage.) "Shall I have this delivered to your old room sir or perhaps." "No I;ll take it from here old friend to my parent;s room I am the head of the house now Alfred its about time I came accustomed to such that involves me being back here." "As you say sir, gives me plenty of time then to ready a cup of tea for you in the master study." "Hold that thought I am heading back out got to take in the battlefield I am standing in now."
(Gotham City Police Department Precinct Number 1 otherwise known as Gotham Central located in Gotham's Central District of the Couldren (Go figure) was the City's premier Police Station housing both the Homicide and Major Crimes Unit. But for Lt Jim Gordan it was where the worst of the worst worked cops on the take and payroll of the Gotham's most notorious Crime Lord Carmene Falconie otherwise known as the Roman, he had his eyes and ears in the building from the holding cells all the way up to the chain of command while he couldn't put down exactly who worked for Falconie Gordan had his suspicions from his own partner Flass, to even the Precincts senior Captain Nathaniel Barnes a man well respected in the department with a success rate as high as Wayne Tower to be in on that take, But like it or not he was forced to work alongside these animals. "This is ridiculous sir! You cant pull us off this case for weeks I have single handily had to track that bastard down!" (Barnes looked over from his stacks of paperwork still needed to filled out and done and frowned at his best detective.) "Gordan it is what it is order came in from the top brass Loab doesn't want you anywhere near Zsasz wouldn't have done you good anyhow since hes gotten himself a Lawyer plus I need you for a different job word in from Park Rows Red Light District is that the district has had an increased rise in murders relating themselves to a serial cult known as Anarchy I want you down there to investigate." (Gordan sighed in defeat knowing that arguing with his superior would get him no where and quite frankly would only serve to either have himself or his family killed or worst.) "Flass and I will be down there at once sir." (Barnes shook his head) "Alone on this one Jim Loab specifically wants Flass handling a drug case at the docks." (And with that Barnes returned to his stacks of work signaling it was more then likely time for Gordan to leave for his new assignment.) "Drug case my ass more like hes in on it ." (But what good would it do for Gordan to harass the man he would surely end up costing his family their lives if he stood up against these Animals, no Gordan was not stupid he knew something needed to change but one man wouldn't change the tide on this one he would need help but who could he trust in a department filled to the brim with sin and evil.)
