It was late evening at Gotham city. People came home from their daily jobs and some started just their jobs at nightshift. There started too nightshift at Arkham asylum and guards ran around and alarm siren yelled once again. It was obvious that one of Arkham patients had ran away, but how it was possible, Arkham was most well guarded asylum at whole world. But it was possible because even maniacs had time and brains and when those two were connected, they found way to get free from their so called jail.

Police cars started to search as soon as they got information about patient who had run away. And this maniac wasn't just any little criminal, Gotham city most feared and insane criminal had desired to take again little taste of freedom and were at somewhere around city. Police comissioner Gordon was worried about this but he didn't want to scare citizens, he knew what kind of panic from that could have start. Yes, he would make report that and at radio and television they would show photos and mention about this criminal and that people should to call immediadly to police station when they would see him. Comissioner looked out of window and shaked his head. He hadn't any other chance than go to roof and call that one who caught all bad criminals at this city.

At shadows of under bridge criminal, who police searched, were hiding. His clothes were just like all of Arkham patients, grey shirt and trouses and black shoes. You maybe think that he just could have chance his clothes and police wouldn't ever find him, but it wasn't that easy. People would recognize him at everywhere, because his look wasn't just like normal guy, his hairs were green, lips red, eyebrowns and eyelids black, his skin was white and at his face were all time odd grin what remind in weird way some sort wicked smile. People called him clown prince of crime, but all knew him as name Joker.

"Oh, I am popular at this night" he said himself when he looked how police cars drived and sirens yelled. He laughed little and sat down to wait to get peace to chance place, right now it was too risky and he didn't want back to asylum again. Joker looked to his clothes "I need something what looks better than this boring colour, my skin looks so pale with these clothes".

When most of police cars had drived to asylum, he left his hiding place and headed to central of Gotham city. He wasn't that stupid that would have let all know his secrets places where he kept his property. He headed to some old warehouse what had been abandonned already several years and found from there from same place where he had left, one suitcase where was his most important things. His colourful suite, knife, gun, and some others little things what he kept with him all time. To make sure that police wouldn't find him here, if they would realize to come look at this place, he had to go to somewhere else. Joker walked out from warehouse and looked around "where I haven't been yet..." he thinked by himself. Then he got one idea what could work and from where police wouldn't find him. He headed to one high-rise and gone to it's attic and looked around, there wasn't nothing else than some old boxes and it looked like there wouldn't come anyone even it had roof window. Maybe it was one apartment long time ago but now there didn't live anyone.

"Not my style but I can live with it" he said and found somewhere mattress and dragged it to one corner behind boxes and gone to lay down. He yawned, it had been stressing to find new way to escape from Arkham. He closed his eyes and desired to rest little time.

At same time just under Joker's new "apartment" was another apartment what was meant to just normal living. At door were name Angelique Dale. Young woman, little over 20 years old, brunette hairs and blue eyes looked out from window at her apartment and wondered what had made suddenly police driving around city that she couldn't even sleep. She would have needed rest and sleep since she had just came from work to home. Odd sounds from attic had kept her awake too and she thinked that maybe some of this high-rise inhabitant was going to move away again and dragged to attic things what didn't want to take to new apartment. Angelique gone to kitchen and made tea to herself. Since it was impossible to sleep, she could stay awake and gone to watch news. Nothing new, just normal soap operas and reality tv. This was her first own apartment where she lived, place was good and near of her job so she liked to live here even prize of this apartment were really high, but well, you have to pay from that what you want to your own. It felt good when she had chance to be by herself now, do her own things when she wanted and didn't had to hear anymore how her mother nagged all time how bad her father had been when this had gone with other woman. Luckily she had got well payed job from Wayne's company what was well appreciated place to work and her work was simple, working with files and writing documents, nothing too hard or stressing job.

She started to feel more sleepy and even she still were able to hear police sirens, it was time to go to sleep. When she had drink her tea, she gone to bed and started to sleep but didn't knew that just right above of her roof were one other who slept well too.

Okay, it is short, but it is just start =3.
