Strange Birds of a Feather - Chapter 1

Oswald's phone starts ringing. Which isn't weird considering it's the middle of the day, but since Oswald gained a nocturnal lifestyle against his will, he can't pick it up, so I have to do it for him. When I look at the screen it reads 'Lili, Kwan'. Odd, I have never heard this name, even though the number is saved in Oswald's phone. I wonder who this can be. 'Hello?' I say, then I remember to add. 'This is Oswald Cobblepot's phone. I am his assistant. Who am I talking to?' 'Oh.' a deep female voice answers. 'This is Lili. Can I talk to Oswald?' 'Uhm… sorry, but Mr. Cobblepot is busy now. Do you have a message form him?' 'Yes. Please tell him, that I need to talk to him. It's very important. He knows where to find me at 6 PM.' Oh, no 6 PM is way too early. 'Uh... I'm sorry but a meeting today at 6 PM doesn't fit into Mr. Cobblepot's schedule.' 'Tsk… that little tadpole really do...

He seems almost friendly and welcoming, but under the surface I know that there is the scheming bastard. I have to say I am rather familiar with this type. 'Please, come inside.' as he says this it feels like some force that held me back until this moment releases me and I can freely step inside the house.

Chapter 14

cw: sexual content, murder Sam's POV That bastard! How could he talk to me like that?! He pissed me up so much that I rather spent the night in my own room, and didn't even want to see him the whole day the next day. Or at least unil he would apologize. That's very unlikely but one can hope. But the day passed and nothing happened so I decided to check on him. He's not in his office so I go up to the penthouse. 'Good night, babies.' I greet the little ones in the living room. 'Did you see Oswald?' 'Good night, Master! No, not yet. Why?' 'Oh.' so where would he be? He doesn't have an appointment, not one I know about. 'Then I don't know where he could be.' 'Well, if something happened to him, I hope you would inherit his wealth.' 'Missy, not now!' Obviously, she is joking, but what if… no, that can't be, he will be fine. I can't be worried about him every time he briefly disappears, right? But maybe ...
