Gotham Season 5 (Alternate version)
Chapter 21
Gotham city (Day 93)
The Siren's Club
It didn't take long for Jim Gordon and Eduardo Dorrance to arrive at "The Siren's Club". As the two men enter the building, they were approached by Barbara Kean.
"Gentlemen welcome." Barbara said
"Barbara where is Nygma?" Jim asked
"We have him tied up at the bar room." Barbara replied
"Bring us to him." Eduardo said
"Of course." Barbara said
Barbara lead the two men to the bar room of the club. They see Edward Nygma AKA the Riddler tied up at the bar with Barbara's henchmen keeping an eye on him.
"Well, well, well, looks like the tables have turned Nygma." Eduardo said
"Screw you." Ed replied
This made Eduardo annoyed and he was about to punch Ed in the face with his right hand, but Jim quickly stopped him.
"Eduardo stop!" Jim said as he grabbed his partners right hand.
Eduardo hesitated for a second and then puts his hand down. Jim was glad that Eduardo didn't punch Ed, so he let go of his hand.
"Let's get him back to GCPD." Jim said
"Sure, thing partner." Eduardo said
Jim grabs the tied up Ed and proceeds to leave the club with Eduardo.
"Thank you, Barbara." Jim said
"You're welcome." Barbara replied
The two men exit "The Siren's Club" with their prisoner and put him in the back of the police car. As Jim and Eduardo get into the police ready to drive off Ed tries to plead to them.
"Jim please you have to listen to me." Ed said
"To be honest Ed I'm getting sick and tired of your excuses." Jim said
"Please I'm begging you?" Ed asked
"Shut up Nygma." Eduardo said
"I swear I know who made me kill those people at Haven." Ed said
Eduardo wanted to kill Ed, but he couldn't, because that will blow his cover. The only thing Eduardo could do right now is make sure Jim doesn't find out the truth.
"Come on Jim let's just get this psychopath back to GCPD." Eduardo said
At first Jim considered just driving back to the police station, but he was curious to hear what Ed had to say so he decided to let Ed speak.
"If someone did make you kill those people then who did it?" Jim asked
"Hugo Strange." Ed said
"How is Hugo Strange involved in this?" Jim asked
"On the night the bridges blew up I was stabbed and nearly died, but Oswald saved me by having Hugo Strange perform surgery on me. But I think he did something to my brain that made me lose control of mind and kill all of those people at Haven." Ed explained
Jim could tell Ed was being serious, still wasn't sure if he should trust him.
"If you're telling truth, where do we find Hugo Strange?" Jim asked
"I don't know, Oswald told me that nobody has seen him after the bridges blew up." Ed explained
Jim thought to himself for a moment, but then made a decision.
"Alright change of plans we're going to track down Hugo Strange." Jim said to Eduardo.
"Only one problem, how are we supposed to find him?" Eduardo asked
Without any hesitation Jim gets out of the car and heads back into "The Siren's Club".
"Jim why are you going back inside the club?" Eduardo asked
Jim didn't have time to answer Eduardo since he was already back inside the building. Jim found Barbara talking to her henchmen and he manage to get her attention when he approached her.
"Jim, I thought you had already left." Barbara said
"I need your help, Ed told us that he's looking for Hugo Strange. He said that Hugo Strange did something to his mind that made him kill all of those people at Haven. At first, I didn't believe him, but I could tell he was being serious, because he was begging me and my partner to help him find Hugo Strange. You're one of the only few people in Gotham that knows how to gain intel from the criminal underworld, so we need your help to find Hugo Strange." Jim explained
Barbara could tell Jim was being serious, so she decided to help him.
"I don't know much, however during the last few weeks we've been hearing rumors about someone doing experiments at an old morgue building." Barbara said
"Thank you." Jim said
"You're welcome." Barbara said
Jim then leaves the club and heads back into the police car.
"I take it you went in there to get information about where to find Hugo Strange?" Eduardo asked
"Yes." Jim said
"What did you find out?" Eduardo asked
"There's an old morgue in Gotham and Barbara said that someone has been doing experiments there. That might be where Hugo Strange is hiding." Jim said
"Alright then let's go." Eduardo said
The two men drive off with Ed in the police car as they make their way to track down Hugo Strange at the Gotham city morgue.
The GCPD
Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle felt that something wasn't right. They noticed that some of the soldiers were looking at them almost as if they were trying to keep an eye on them for some reason.
"Bruce, I don't know about you, but ever since these soldier guys got here, they've been acting very weird." Selina said
"Yeah I noticed it too, most of these men look like they don't seem concerned about the civilians and they're only watching us specifically." Bruce said
"You think they suspect something about us?" Selina asked
"I think they see us as targets." Bruce replied
"That makes no sense why would they think we're targets?" Selina asked
"It might have something to do with their leader." Bruce said
"If that's the case then we need to warn Jim along with everyone else in the GCPD." Selina said
"I agree." Bruce said
