Chapter Three – A Night On The Town

The newcomer was a tall redhead, who glanced back at Taylor after the waiter had left.

"Do you mind if we sit here?" He inquired, to which Taylor, who was staring with wide eyes, bit her lip to suppress her excitement.

"...n-no, of course, be my guest." Taylor smiled nervously as the two men sat at the table with them.

Of course she recognized them, Edward Nigma and Jonathan Crane, how could she not? Katrina and her only talked about them all the time.

They followed their escapades with the police and knew all about them.

Kindred spirits, Taylor might say.

"So, who might you lovely ladies be?" Edward inquired, his eyes taking in the stunning beauty in green and her rather depressed looking friend, who hadn't even looked up at them.

"My name is Taylor Dundes, and this is my best friend, Katrina Irving." Taylor introduced, her cheeks flushing though her voice was overcome with excitement. Katrina waved a hand tiredly, not bothering to look up at the newcomers.

The waiter returned, placing the whiskey down in front of Katrina, who began to drink greedily, and then the champagne in front of Taylor.

The other two drinks were placed in front of Edward and Jonathan, who took the champagne and whiskey respectively. Taylor couldn't help but become a bit giddy when she realized that her and the Riddler enjoyed the same drink.

She knew Katrina would be flustered if she would only pay attention! One would think that she'd be able to see the men, but, they had sat down on her left, so that was a no go.

Taylor was about to attempt to get Katrina to look up, when Edward spoke up once more.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you both, we're-"

"Edward Nigma and Jonathan Crane, yes we know." Taylor beamed, while Katrina choked slightly on her whiskey, looking up with a hand pressed to her chest, seeing the boys for the first time.

Taylor couldn't help but laugh at her, earning a glare.

"Sorry, Katrina, I was just waiting for you to stop brooding and look up, but, I got your attention anyways." Taylor snickered, watching her friend's cheeks heat up slightly, before she winced and rubbed her head.

Concern flashed across Taylor's face but she pushed it away, knowing very well that if Katrina wanted her help she would tell her.

"So what brings you two lovely ladies to Shaugnessy's?" Edward inquired, taking a sip of his champagne as Taylor flushed at the compliment. Edward, of course, noticed this, and felt a small smirk cross his lips.

"Well, Katrina decided that I had been spending too much time playing... uh," Taylor blushed and fiddled with a piece of her hair. "Playing video games, and s-said we should get out of the house."

"You mean my video game?" The Riddler raised an eyebrow, and Taylor's eyes widened.

"I... h-how did you know?" Taylor questioned, looking over at Katrina who was watching quietly over the rim of her glass of whiskey.

"When you hacked into my site it alerted me and gave me permissions to your computer camera to see who had been intelligent enough to do it. I must give you credit, my site is pretty impossible to hack into."

Taylor and Katrina stared at Edward with wide eyes. Jonathan was watching tentatively, knowing that telling these girls that information probably wouldn't end well.
