Chapter 93: End of The Falcon’s Reign (2)

"Revenge is good. As good a fire to move forward as any. Remember those who stood on your fingers as you climbed the craggy cliffs. Remember their faces. Remember their families."

— Arnim Zola, (Captain America)

"Commissioner, we don't have any more space in our cells. We have arrested too many criminals. We can't even release some of them since we received evidence against all of them in serious charges. Plus we are shorthanded. A gang war broke out a few hours ago downtown after news of Falcon being arrested spread out. We are spread too thin right now. I think we should call for backup." One of the officers who was loyal to Jim politely advised, his voice carrying a tinge of frustration.

Both Jim and the officer were currently making their way to the special cell where they were holding Falcon. Their eyes had darkened and sunken in due to a heavy lack of sleep.

"I already have. They should be here within the hour... But that's not what is bothering me. Just within the last hour, I have already received 9 death threats that stated that they would kill me if I didn't release Falcon, 6 threats from various superiors of mine that ordered me to release him along with quite a few generous offers from some very rich men in an attempt to bribe me to make sure that their names would not be mentioned in our investigation.

I am worried about the fact that even with so much hard evidence, it would be hard to hold Falcon in prison. If I am right about how deep this rabbit hole goes, then he would most likely get bail on the very first day this case hits the court." Jim stated in dismay as both of them reached the 'VIP' cell that Falcon was currently relaxing in.

'It's a good thing that my daughter is not in the city right now, otherwise, protecting her would have been a headache at this time.' He thought to himself as he noticed the old leader of Gotham's most powerful crime family calmly sitting on a chair in his cell.

Jim Gordon was glad that he had let his daughter go to the Metropolis to complete her schooling. Whenever his daughter was in Gotham, he would always be worried for her safety. At least, this way she was safe in Metropolis. After all, what was the worst thing that had ever happened in Metropolis? Compared to Gotham, it was heaven.

Nobody heard his pleas for water until he finally collapsed dead after a few minutes, alone in the cell due to his thirst with his entire body having shriveled looking like a mummified corpse.

Carmine Falcon, the biggest crime lord of Gotham was dead just like that.

"And that's how you kill someone without ever being suspected of the murder while still getting all the benefits... You are finally happy to get your revenge, right Selina?" I asked after the footage on the Bat-computer that was being transmitted directly from the drone in Falcon's cell showed Carmine Falcon finally dying due to the thirst virus that was injected into his system.

"I don't know... I think so. I don't know if I am happy or not, but I am definitely satisfied. It's like a sense of contentment at having achieved your goal." Selina replied with a thoughtful expression on her face, her finger still lingering on the button that just killed Falcon by making the spider drone bite and inject the virus into him. "I understand that you were saying all those things at that time to stop me from killing Falcon in front of Gordon but what about the killer quote? I thought you were quite serious when you said that."

"I was. Killing a killer indeed does not decrease the number of killers in the world. But, that's why I intend to kill multiple killers. If I kill a hundred killers, the world will have 99 killers less than what it should have. Problem fucking solved." I shrugged innocently. "Now, let's go and have some dinner. All this death has made me hungry. I think Alfred himself is cooking steak today and you know how much I love his steaks."
