"Jerome Valeska. 18 years old. Killed his mother in cold blood.Green eyes,pale skin,ginger hair, Currently at Arkham Asylum with another person I knew a long time ago.Killed her cause he claimed that his fathermwas a whore and used to abuse him." I kept on talking more anout Jerome as I looked at every officer paying attention at me.



"Harleen Alessandra Cobblepot.18 years old.Killed her mother in also cold blood,almost killed her father by stabbing him multiple of times and claimed that he abused the entire family but mostly to her also says that he used to try and rape her,brother is still alive and taking care of in the Gotham orphanage.Black hair,light green eyes and pale skin has a lot of features of Oswald Cobblepot who is her uncle. Currently in Arkham Asylum with Jerome Valeska."



"They are out there and we all know it.Its just a matter of time to catch them and bring justice to Gotham again but with these called maniaxs on the loose we can't do that.Hayley and Jerome are planning something together and I know it.She used to look up to me as a person but i turned her back to he so now she's up for revenge."



I told everyone about everything I knew about the kid and some of them offered to help me look for more.I must find this kids father and I don't believe that he is dead "Harvey.Why don't we visit a little friend of mine." I asked him grabbing the car keys and heading outside.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"Jim my good old friend.Its been a while,pleasure to see you again." Oswald smiled from his seat with two other men beside him glaring at us both "Cut the crap Cobblepot we know you're hiding her." Harvey yelled.Oswald gave me a questionable look so I decided to calmly speak "Come on Oswald we now you've seen her."



"Who?" I raised an eyebrow and tried my best to stay calm "Harleen Alessandra-" "Hayley? As in my dear dear niece." "So you heard?" "Of course! What kind of uncle would i be if i havent heard from her.She's my most precious gift and I plan on taking care of her." Okay this is getting out of hand "So tell us where she is!!" 



"Jim tell your friend to stay quiet." Harvey kept on walking back and forth "So have you heard anything from her?" "Im afraid not.She hasn't come around which surprises me a lot.Since we were always together you know how families need each other.Our friendship is something really special." I looked over at Harvey who had the same expression.



"You know anything about her father." "Not that i recall no.All I know is that her father gave her my last name cause apparently he wasn't her real father .But you know how rumors are." He laughed "Alright.Well if you see her just call the station."'"Will do,Jim." I turned my back towards him and walked along side Harvey "That Cobblepot guy is a weirdo." 



We were wondering around the city and no luck of Hayley or Jerome well its not like they'll walk on the streets at day "Sir!"'I look by my side and saw Dick Grayson "Dick its good to see you again." "Its nice to see you too.Anything else has happened? Cause im willing to help." "See I like this kid he isnt a psycho like the other two." I gave a shut up look to him.



"Maybe just keep an eye out for Hayley." Dick nodded his head and smiled "Yes sir,have you head anything from her?" "Unfortunately I havent. But if something comes up i'll let you know."  "Come on Harvey lets go."

Hayley's pov


I woke up the next morning with Jerome next to me,seeing how peaceful he looks brings a smile to my face he's so adorable.I leaned towards him and kissed his cheek and his eyes opened so they were  meeting mines "Good morning Hayley." He yawned and stretched "Morning ginger." He softly laughed and rested his hand on top of my head. 


After a while in bed we decided to get up and eat something when we got out everyone was there just minding their own business as always "You did a fine job yesterday gentleman.We opened big. The whole city knows your name now." Theo walked closer and showed us the paper, the Maniax picture on the front page.


Theo grinned at the looks on our faces, bringing his hands together. "Bravo! Let's give ourselves a round of applause."mI clapped with Jerome clapping along with me, a devilish smile on his lips."Now that we have Gotham's attention, it's time for the Maniax to make a grand entrance."


"Sounds like fun huh?" Jerome looked at me,smirking.Theo agreed. "Now that the audience is hushed, expectant, the curtain rises."Theo smiled, clearly having something big."Oh then, we confront Gothamites with their most primal fears. Take from them all they hold dear and sacred.""And then what happens?" "Well then we offer them salvation. And then they are ours."


"Patience! First you guys need too learn a little stage craft.You're going to be on tv. You have to present yourselves with style and vigor."Jerome looked at Robert, a challenging look in his eyes."Show me what you got. Say, good even ladies and gentlemen!"


Robert smirked at him."Gooood evening, ladies and gentlemen!" "Not bad." Theo said who looked over to Aaron shaking his head  "Jerome, how about you?"Jerome cleared his throat, sending me a wink as he jumped up onto the chair, spreading his arms out, sending everyone a huge grin."Laaadies and gentlemen! Gooood evening." "Thats amazing Jerome!!" 

.

"Very good. Actually charming.The laugh is fabulous use that oh and Hayley you should use your on charm too which is your shyness no one can suspect from a quiet girl." Suddenly, a loud noise went through the room, making everyone turn, seeing Tabitha using her whip on someone, along with Barbara.Barbara suddenly smirked, looking at the Mayor?! "Wait since when is the mayor here?" I whispered to Jerome who just shrugged his shoulders to me.



"I'm so glad that you two are getting along.But we're a little busy here. So if you could leave the poor Mayor alone." "We're bored." "Yeah... Why do all the boys get too have fun? No to mention Hayley as well." "Because they are special remember your time is coming I told you."



He looked down at the Mayor, seeing him laid out."You haven't killed him have you?" "No. I don't think so."She whipped him, causing him to scream, "Nope."Barbara just shook her head. "When? When is my time coming?" "Soon. Very soon. Why don't you tell me about James Gordon." I carefully watched Theo's every move even though everyone thinks they are safe and everything im thinking the opposite "Whats got your attention they Hayley?" "Nothing at all just thinking!" I beamed and sent him a fake smile.
