"Everyone in there is pretty pissed at you." I sighed and nodded, "Thanks for the heads up John." Crane nodded and went back to writing in his journal. I pushed my hair back and took a deep breath. There was no getting around this, not this time.
I pushed the door open and was greeted with a large ceramic … something being thrown at my face. I ducked and the remains of whatever it had been rained down on me. "You son of a whore! If you ever touch me again I'll rip your throat out!" "Selly, dear, calm down." "Shut up, Pam!" Another hunk of ceramic was thrown at me, I think it might have been an ashtray. "You can't kill him. No one else is as good with computers." "I don't give a fuck! He assaulted me!" Without thinking, I said, "It wasn't all that bad. I kind of liked it." That only resulted in a book being thrown at me, along with a few more obscenities.
"If you're quite done Selina, the boss would like to talk to Nigma." "Dent, I won't be done with him until he's dead." "As Pammy pointed out, Kitty dear, you can't do that," I ventured. Pamela sighed and face palmed, "Wrong move buck-o." Selina jumped at me from across the room and landed a few good hits to my face before Harvey was able to pull her off. As he struggled with her he grunted at me. "Boss man wants to talk to you," he gestured with his head towards J's office as he said so.
I reluctantly walked towards the office. I was a grown man god dammit, so why did I suddenly feel like a little kid about to get punished for taking his sister's doll? I knocked lightly at the wide door. Harley greeted me with sympathy in her eyes. As I walked in, she walked out. A one-on-one, this was definitely not good.
J was sitting behind his desk, eyeing me over steepled hands. "Please, do sit," he gestured to the chairs in front of me. I chose the one with the easiest route back to the door. As soon as I was seated he said, "Selina says you assaulted her in the alley when I sent her after you." There was no point in trying to deny it, so I just nodded. "Care to explain your actions?" I sighed and said, "She attacked me first. And I was just pissed off." He nodded slowly, "From the smell of things you visited the whorehouse afterwards." Again I just nodded.
"Selina's out for blood and I was inclined to agree. Luckily for you, Harley talked me out of it. Play nice from now own, next time I won't be so forgiving. Now get out of my sight." I nodded and hurried from the room. All was quiet in the living room, which was a relief. I really didn't feel like having more heavy objects thrown at my face. I went up to my room to clear my head and maybe work for a while.
