11:24 PM- Somewhere in Gotham..

It was nearing midnight. I wanted some fresh air, being stuck at the GCPD was just overall draining me. For some reason, I found myself alone in the building. No one or no sign of life anywhere. First thing I found when I got out of the building was a car. Why not give a test drive? Not like I had anything to loose, life right now being infected with a non -curable virus already sucked. I tugged at the door handle and it was unlocked, just my luck! Not even thinking twice about what I was doing I sat down in the drivers seat looking at all of the buttons and gidgets.  I noticed someone left keys in the keyhole under the steering wheel but never turned it on. My fingers steadily got a hold of the keys and pushed forward. The sound of the engine boomed in my ears, rumbling beneath my feet. Somehow I didn't feel fear driving the car although I never had lessons on how to drive. I just did it. I turned on Noir Rd, then took a left on a sketchy street. For some strange reason I was compelled to drive to a building in the middle of town the one that was most famous in Gotham but also one of the more dangerous ones.

Eventually I parked and walked inside, still not an ounce of fear within me. Music filled my ears, vintage sounding music, it sounded like, was coming out of a room with lights flashing from it. it immediately drew me in. The first thing I saw was an illuminated neon purple umbrella. I was at Oswald's infamous night club. My head swiveled side to side as I looked for anyone playing the saxaphone or any jazz instruments. Why was it empty everywhere I went? I turned around and saw a man wearing only dark leather. His face was pale, the pupils of his eyes gave me a warm greeting. His head swayed side to side with the beat of the music. He watched me closely.

He then raised a muscle above his eye, "Wasn't expecting to see (Y/N) Gordon here

Confused I asked, "Do I know you?"
"Maybe you don't, but your uncle sure does", for some strange reason, when he mentioned my uncle I felt anger. I stayed silent, looking at the ground in awkward silence. "Victor Zsasz" he spat out, sticking out his hand for me to shake, I returned the favor. "Words gotten around-" he continued to speak. "Of what?" my eyebrow perked up. "That Jim Gordon and his niece were infected with the Tetch Virus." I felt my hand start to twitch, "Yes. Yes we were. Not by choice." He picked up my face gently with his hand as I continued to stare at the ground below me. "Do you know where your at right now? Are you even afraid?" he whispered almost tauntingly. I looked around, "No. Not at all- I actually came here to ask a question.." His face mushed together, "A question?"

"I need you to call over Penguin for me. He's the one I need to talk to."

Another voice from behind me was heard, causing me to make a complete turn around.

"You're looking for me?" Oswald smiled cheerfully,

"Oh yes! I had a serious question and topic to discuss with you...I was wondering if we could talk in private". He gave me a smirk, "Look around, we practically are here together in private! No one's here except me and you!" I did as he said, and he was right. No one was here, not even Victor Zsasz. Wonder where he went off to.
"Well um.. I was wondering if I could possibly work for you... or for you." Oswald raised his eyebrows a few inches before screaming into a fit of laughter, then he began clutching his stomach from laughing so much. As he finally came to a stop after what seemed like a while, he brought up his pointer finger to his face and wiped away the tears escaping from his eyes.
