Chapter 12: Have a Good Time
BPOV:
I was glad that Addie had found someone that she trusted, other than Alfred, Lucius, and me, and who seemed genuinely nice. It had been a while since Addie had trusted someone enough to let them in to her life. I just hoped he wouldn't hurt her, I was still wary of him, because she was my girl, and I can't stand to see her hurt. Not after what the Joker has done to her, and her mother. Addie was always looking out for me, and I know she was concerned about my love life. She was always telling me my playboy ways weren't going to give me peace, but they did take my mind off of Rachel. Addie was always saying that I deserved better than I chose, but the person I chose was dead. She was nothing but ashes, and my will to love burned along with her. It had been two years since she had died. Sometimes when I look at Addie, I see Rachel, sudden movements, or looks, remind me of Rachel.
I had called Gordon when I was getting ready. I wanted him to know that Addie was home, and he would be able to speak with her tonight at the party. He needed to talk to her about the upcoming trial about the Joker, and Two-Face Dent. He also needed to talk to her about some new case that had them puzzled. Addie always loved a challenge, and if it was ob Gordon's radar, it should be on our radar.
We were going to enjoy the night, and have fun. The guests had started to arrive, and pile in. There were models, actors and actresses, Gordon, Mayor Garcia, senators, and countless other people. Dinner was served; we were having steak with mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and wine or pop for people who were under-age. Addie was to my right, and Evan was to her right. To my left was Lucius, then Gordon. After that it went on from there. I wondered when Hannah would be getting here, or if she was coming. Everyone sat to eat, and they all enjoyed their meal. Next up was dancing.
APOV:
Dinner went by smoothly, and without interruptions, or any problems. I was excited to see everyone, especially Gordon. My dad said he had a couple things to talk to me about; one I hoped was a new case to profile for them. Evan devoured his meal, while I savored mine, like a lady. All through dinner, people came up to me and remarked on how beautiful I looked. Then before I knew it, it was time for dancing. My dad and I received the first dance together like always. Then my dad went up to some new woman, who was quite unlike the others he has been known to associate with. She had strawberry blonde hair, which was about shoulder-length. She was about my height, maybe a little bit taller, and she had on an elegant blue gown on. Maybe she would be different from all the others. Gordon came up, and broke through my train of thought.
"May I have a word in private, please?" He asked.
"Of course Commissioner." I replied.
"Please excuse me, Evan." I said.
"No problem." He said.
I went out with Gordon, and I took him into my office. I still updated my Wall of Weird. He already knew about that, and that's why as soon as school is over for the summer, I will be interning at the Gotham Police Station, as a profiler. My father and Alfred were both proud that I got offered an internship, but I was one of the best profilers in Gotham, right now. I wasn't even certified as a police profiler, but I was on my way.
"What can I help you with Commissioner?" I asked.
"There are two things that we need to discuss. We need to discuss the trial, and then we need to discuss a new case, that is really puzzling, and I hope you can help us." He replied.
"Take a seat; first we will discuss the trial, because that is more important as of right now." I replied.
"Well, the court case is going to start on April, 19th. We are going to need you to testify. The lawyers will probably start with Harvey Dent, and what happened in the manor. Then they will move on to you helping us pinpoint the Joker's location the first time, as well as when he crashed the party. They will then go on to speak about when you were kidnapped, and held at Arkham's ruins. I will be there, as well as your father, and the lawyers. They will guide you through everything, so there is no need to be worried." He explained.
"And the Joker and Dent will be in handcuffs, so they can't get to me?" I asked.
I had been worried ever since I had agreed to testify against them, I didn't want anything to happen to me again.
"They won't be able to harm you, and plus there will be security, and extra guards on them, so they won't hurt you." He replied.
"Ok I'll do it. What about the new case?" I asked. I was curious about it.
"Well, we have been having break-ins at hospitals. But when the person leaves, they leave behind some object that is frozen. We have a few possible suspects, but we would like you to take a look at them, and predict the most likely candidate for who is behind this." Gordon explained.
"I'd be happy to, now let's get back to the party, I promise I'll save you a dance!" I said.
Gordon chuckled, and we left my office to go back to the party. The Commissioner was extremely nice, and sometimes I babysat for his son and daughter, when his wife and he go out. They really appreciated their time alone, and it got all of Gotham's cases off of Jim Gordon's mind.
EPOV:
I had them right where I wanted them. I had positioned myself perfectly to pull on her heart-strings in the alley-way. I had gotten one of my friends to beat me up; around the time I knew she would be leaving for home. Then she saved me, because that is in her nature, to help others. I had researched them well, I knew everything about them, and knew that Bruce would be harder than Addie. All I had to do now was pretend to fall in love with her, and then get her to reveal that she is in-fact Batgirl, and her father is in-fact Batman, and then I would have my story, and my position on The Gotham News. Apart of me felt bad for doing this, and lying to them, but I wanted apposition on the newspaper, instead of being an intern and writing the stories, but not receiving credit for them! I knew it would all work out in the end.
I looked over to see Addie and Commissioner Gordon come back. Addie smiled at me as she made her way over to where I was. I smiled back, and as soon as she was close enough to hear me I asked her a question.
"Would you like to dance?" I asked her.
"Why yes, yes I would." She replied.
I know Evan starts out bad, but he will turn himself around, and be a nice gentleman. Addie and Bruce will soon find out, about what Evan's doing, but Evan will eventually have to save Addie once he knows the truth about her and her father. Also a new villain will pop up in the next chapter!
