Gotham Season 5 (Alternate version)

Chapter 19

Gotham city (Day 93)

Gotham city Hall

Oswald Cobblepot AKA the Penguin had just returned to his office after talking to one of his henchmen to double up security, because he recently heard the team of military soldiers working with the GCPD to restore order into Gotham. Oswald knew it was only a mattered of time before they come after him so if they want to get to him, they'll have to go through his henchmen first.

As Oswald entered his office something didn't feel right. Normally when he entered his office his dog Edward would immediately run up to him.

"Edward where you?" Oswald asked as he approached his desk.

Without any warning Oswald heard his dog bark, which startled him. Oswald walked to the other side of his desk and saw his dog Edward laying in his bed next to his doggy bowl.

"Oh, thank god it's just you Edward you had me scared there for a second." Oswald said

Suddenly he heard a familiar voice from behind him.

"Turn around Oswald." a familiar voice said

Oswald instantly recognized the voice and was filled with fear as he slowly turned around to face the person behind him. He then saw the face of his old friend Edward Nygma AKA the Riddler had an angry look on his face and was pointing a revolver at him.

Ed noticed that Oswald looked different since the last time he saw him, because he was wearing an eye bandage on his right eye.

"Ed how did you…." Oswald tried to speak but was immediately stopped when Ed interrupt him.

"Shut up Oswald, I came here for one reason only and that is to find out what you did to me." Ed said

"Ed, I have no idea what you're talking about." Oswald said

"Don't play games with me Oswald you did something to my brain and made me kill all of those people at Haven. I've spent the last few weeks waking up each day in strange locations with no memory whatsoever. I thought I was losing my mind and it wasn't until I got electrocuted that I remember seeing you saying that you're going to fix me." Ed explained

"Ed, I swear I did not do anything to make you kill those people at Haven." Oswald said

"Then tell me what you meant when you said that you'll have me fixed up in no time?" Ed asked

This suddenly made Oswald remember something important.

"Ed, I said that, because I was trying to save your life. The night when the bridges blew up, I found you all bloody and near death. So, I hired Hugo Strange to help save you I swear that's all I was trying to do." Oswald explained

Ed could tell that Oswald was telling the truth, so he knew what he had to next.

"Tell me where I can Hugo Strange?" Ed asked as he lowered the revolver.

"I don't know where he is. He disappeared after he helped me save you and no one has seem since then." Oswald said

"Then I'll find him myself." Ed said

Before Ed leaves, he asks Oswald one more question.

"Just one quick question, did you really name the dog after me?" Ed asked

Oswald wasn't sure how to answer this questions so all to say was this.

"Maybe." Oswald said

After the conversation was over Ed left Gotham city Hall.

The GCPD

Eduardo Dorrance was alone with some of his men from Delta Force were talking in the locker room.

"Alright listen up men Jim and I will be heading out on patrol again to search Nygma soon. Everybody here in the GCPD believe that, because we're here that we'll be bringing supplies as well. We cannot let them know of our true intentions so if anybody ask questions just tell them that everything is under control. Remember that our boss Theresa Walker wants us to eliminate any potential threats that stand in the way of our mission. Any questions?" Eduardo asked as he finished explaining the objective to his men.

One soldier in the group started talking.

"What do we do about the two targets Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle?" the male soldier said in response.

"Keep an eye on them for now, if they suspect something have them brought to me for interrogation." Eduardo said

"Yes sir." the male soldier said
