Three of the four high security Arkham escapees are in custody. Sort of. All three are beig held for treatment and observation; a gun shot wound to the head, a brain tumor and recently awakening from a coma brought on by blood loss by a severe physical assault

Simon might be easier to visit first, simply by virtue of being finished with all his surgeries and consultations. He's unstable, personality vacillating wildly depending on the time of day, but mornings and early afternoon are still a good time to visit him, if you don't mind the nearly-paralyzing guilt and tears. Except for the tendon-damage to one shoulder and some lingering weakness to his ribs, all the injury that Walter did is scarred over. All the physical injury.

Simon does prove to be the easiest. And his guards are happy to let Jim in.

"Good morning, Mr Garoux. It's good to see you're doing better."

JIm's going to just pull up a chair and watch Simon's reaction, okay? Great.

Simon doesn't know Gordon, and the look he gives him is guarded and confused, but not hostile at all.

"Morning," he says softly, voice a bit raspy. "Sorry, I don't... should I know you?" Advocate, he thinks. Or maybe another therapist.

Jim looks rather pleased to not be recognized. He's not going to think about the fact that it's more likely because Simon wasn't one to watch a lot of local news.

"Commissioner Gordon. I wanted to come speak with you, if that's alright?" No, not an interrogation at all. Just a friendly chat. Really.

Eddie is off in another ward, cuffed to this here hospital bed. He has one hand free, so he can use this phone he totally shouldn't have.

He is bored. He tries to think of ways to entertain himself, but remembers that he needs to behave, because he has this phone, and he has to be treated for this... thing. He gets frustrated and quiet, which leads back into him being bored, which leads back into being frustrated and quiet, and so on and so forth. Anyone within his visual range is liable to be talked at.

Well here comes someone who just loves to be talked at. Really.

Jim doesn't even glare at Eddie's phone as he comes in with a cheerful "Good afternoon, Mr Nigma" and pulls up a chair.

Someone got to annoy the hospital board today.

[edsidlemirth]

Eddie smiles over at the nice police commissioner and waves the hand that's cuffed. Rattle. "Hello! What are you here to talk about?"

He's superficially cheerful, but it's strained, and not because he doesn't want to talk to this guy. He is quite grateful for any company.

[cmmrjamesgordon]

Jim hears the strain, but he's not to concerned. Either Eddie doesn't want to talk to him or maybe, just maybe, he's in a hospital being treated for a mass growing in his brain.

"I wanted to talk about what happened a few nights ago. When you shot the Joker." Jim will not shake Eddie's hand and buy him a drink. Unless the Joker dies.
