#### 21st

* Dame Margot dies.
* These days, corrupt cops Detectives Boone, Greer, and Sanchez of the GCPD SWAT team, are trudging through the sewers *looking* for Jones, who is now the Killer Croc. Waylon feels that, like him, Gotham City is going through a period of *atavism* - reverting to its a more primitive state. And that chaos means murdering the detectives is fair game.
* Now, Boone and Greer - the only members of their team to survive Croc's attack, struggle to escape the maze of tunnels beneath the city. They are surprised when they encounter a group of street-people living down there, and beg for help. Unfortunately, the people are loyal to Croc, because *he* took them in and showed them how to live down there, and a little girl break Greer's leg. Hurrying away, Boone is forced to leave Greer behind while he gets help. Unfortunately, the first door he opens contains the body of Hoolihan - a clean cop that *he* had killed just weeks before for threatening to rat he and his partners out to the brass, and dumped into the bay.
* The day before, Boone, Greer, and Sanchez had received a note threatening that *evidence* against them had been found in the form of a key, and they would need to go to the sewer to get it - and bring money. Now, Jack Boone manages to find the key on Hoolihan's body, and gleefully announces his success to Greer, only to see her torn to pieces by the Killer Croc. Rather than attack Boone, Waylon plays on Boone's fear, and simply follows him through the tunnels as he runs for his life. Before long, Boone falls from a sudden ledge, and is impaled on some junk-metal below. As he lays dying, Boone realizes that it was *Croc* who sent them the note, and wonders *why* he had sent it. Rather than answer him, Waylon just crushes his skull.
* With his old friend avenged, Waylon returns Hoolihan's body to his followers, and explains that while they had been told for all of their lives what they could not have and could not be, the people who had told them that were *wrong*. While the people above fight over territory in Gotham City, he would begin an empire *underground* - the largest territory in all of Gotham. His followers will be his eyes above ground, and he will be the deadly jaws beneath.
* As the people cheer him, Waylon realizes that he was *made* to be a king.
