THE PENGUIN [Artist rendition of the young vigilante in black who interrupted the arms deal.] "I stopped an arms deal." Alright, Seattle. We haven't talked since before the masquerade, and it's pretty obvious we're overdue for a chat. The quote above was obtained from Seattle's 911 line. A young girl called in, young being the operative word, with this impressive claim. Did I believe her when I heard it come across the radio? Of course not. She sounded like she should be playing with Barbies. It was the day after Halloween, maybe she hadn't recovered from the night's activities. I didn't give it much credence, admittedly. Until it turned out to be true. Now we've created The Penguin. Well done, Creations. A man interested only in monetary gain, one who uses our city to move weapons to anyone that wants them. How the hell are we supposed to keep our streets clean when we turn a blind eye? And don't even try to tell me that one man can run a weapon trade business out of a major metropolitan area without assistance - he can't. Are we all bought and paid for in this town? And what's worse, a child has to stop him? Honestly, Seattle. I'm disappointed. Where the hell are our lawmakers? Where are the people who are supposed to be making a difference? All I see are the Masks. Where are our hired officials? Why the hell don't we do something? An officer is kidnapped by the Joker, and nothing happens. A masquerade is drugged, and nothing happens. As far as I can tell, ladies and gentlemen, the only people affecting change in this city wear masks - even tiny ones. |
