Unknown
A few hours later a figure walked into the an abandoned building, an unconscious body over their shoulder.
They walked into a room it was a quiet dark room with only a single lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. A old rusted barbers chair sat in the center of the room, along with a few table under a mirror. A two way mirror that shared a wall with the observation room.
They placed the body on the chair and then tied him too it, and placed a blindfold on him. Heels clicking on the concrete floor. They pulled out a canvas bag from under one of the tables, then organizat they're toys. Scalpels, knives, hammers, chisels, brassknuckles, pliers, and a roll of very long and thick needles..
"Lets begin."
The person reached over and slapped the man.
"W-what who are you?! WHERE THE FUCK AM I?!"
They stayed silent, And reached over to the table and grabbed a large machete.
"Wait you gotta let me go man, I didn't do anything. Is this about the money I owe Carlos? I told him I'd pay him back tuesday."
I slowly started walking towards him with it."
"W-wait you don't have to do this! Is it money you want?! I can pay you! More than they paid you to scare me!"
Placing the machete under his chin, he closed his eyes as if waiting for his death. No he wasn't going to die that easy.
"To be honest I don't really care for money, nor do I care for this Carlos you speak of."
"What do you want then I'll give you anything."
"Where's the drugs Nate, they know you took them."
"D-drugs?! I don't know what your talking about."
"Oh I think you do, in fact by the time the night is done you're gonna tell me everything you know."
"Hey you can't do shit to me! The boss will hu-unt you down for this!"
"Who do you think gave me your name Nate."
His eyes widened and he shook his head. "No no they wouldn't do that to me."
"Are you so sure of that Nate?"
The figure walked back to the table and put her machete down, switching it for a long needle. Nate let out a long sigh of relief. She didn't face him but made sure to hide the needle from him.
"You know what I think we need to tone it down, a machete is far too messy for what I have in mind for you Nate. I was always partial to the old ways."
She turned and allowed light to reflect off the needle.
"Now your gonna tell me exactly what I need to know Nate."
She grabbed Nate's hand extending his middle finger out. And lightly rested the needle under his fingernail.
"Wait wait you gotta be kidding!"
"Oh you'll find I would never kid about something this serious."
As the needle slowly was pushed underneath his nail his screams echoed through the room. For hours it went on like this, she would change her tool often. And the next morning he was released limping down the street.
Harley
Harley was walking down the street with her new friends when one of the locals called her name. She was a little old lady with white blonde hair and a small pair of glasses.
"Harleen is that you? Oh my how big you've gotten!"
"Oh uh hello?!"
"Tell me how are ya sisters doin I haven't seen them in months!"
"Um I don't know really I haven't seen them for a few years Kat is still in the Middle East."
"Oh you silly girl Kat came back a while ago, yea she and her sister own the bar down the way!" She pointed down the street.
"Really?"
"Yes oh girl you should go see them, I won't keep you anymore, it's so good to see you!"
The little old lady without another word drifted off.
Rick grabbed Harley's arm.
"Who the hell was that?!"
I dunno, she was very nice though."
It was croc that spoke next.
"You have sisters? Are they as crazy as you?"
"Oh no my sisters are the most normal one could get really. Well except maybe…"
Dead shot commented.
"Maybe what?"
"Well Kat went into the military after high school, I think she went on four tours, I don't remember. She was the one that put me through college. Rosie was building whole computers by 9 and she got a full ride to MIT at 16."
Jaws dropped.
"Anyway I wanna go see them, they may even hide us for a bit if we're lucky!"
Harley then skipped down the street towards where the old lady had pointed.
Rosie
I was doing a quick inventory behind the bar before my sister Kat and I had to open. It wasn't a very exciting thing but it was necessary. After making sure the bottles were full and there were a few extras of our more popular drinks I walked to the back to find Kat organizing cases. "We should have another shipment in sometime this week. We're down to three cases of Rum and I know quite a few patrons that'll be more than a little unhappy." She said looking over at me with a mildly concerned look. I gave her a half smile and shrugged.
"I think we'll be fine. Mostly because I know our new cases will be here today since the cute delivery guy called about an hour ago." I said grinning widely. Kat laughed and shook her head at my antics. I winked and walked out of the back door to see the delivery truck pulling in . Sure enough the dark haired delivery man stepped out of the truck with a gleaming smile. "Hey."
"Hello. I think you might have ordered a bit too much. I don't suppose your little bar goes through this much alcohol in a month." He said grinning. I giggled and shrugged before taking the clipboard from him and signing neatly across the line. When I handed it back he gave me a receipt and started to unload the truck. We made small talk while he moved cases and when he was finished I smiled and said goodbye. Turning to walk back inside I spotted a pair of familiar blonde pigtails.
"Harley!" I screamed in delight. Her baby blue eyes lit up and a smile spread across her pale face. "When'd they let you out? Never mind you need to see Kat first then storytime!" I said before clasping her hand in mine and walking inside with my other lifelong best friend in tow. "Kitty I have a surprise for you!"
"If it's the cute delivery boy I already saw him!" She called from the front of the bar. I rolled my eyes and pulled Harley in front of me so Kat could see her. "Huh I see they let you out. Not that you should have gone and gotten caught in the first fucking place."
"True… what's the big idea getting caught and making us worry about you punk?" I asked looking at Harley with furrowed brows. She frowned and awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck. "I still love you Harley but what the hell did you do that for?"
"Because she doesn't fucking listen and thought the Joker was her knight in shining armor." Kat said looking at Harley with a quirked eyebrow silently asking if she was right. Harley sighed quietly and nodded before giving Kat a small smile.
"I missed you guys. And I'm sorry I thought you were wrong about Joker." Harley said glancing between the two of us. I hugged her tightly and looked expectantly at Kat who hugged her too. When we pulled apart Kat smiled down at our slightly shorter friend. "I kinda have a big favor to ask of you guys and you know I wouldn't ask if I didn't have to–"
"What do you need Harley? We're sisters remember whatever you need we'll help. None of this guilt about asking." I said waving my hand dismissively. Kat nodded her agreement and folded her arms waiting for Harley's request.
"They let me out with a bunch of other reformed criminals to help get a few really bad guys. I was wondering if you guys could help us hide out for awhile." She said looking hopeful. I looked over at Kat and we nodded in unison.
"I have the one apartment building from my grandfather. Kat and I each have an apartment in it and the other ten are vacant. I don't like dealing with tenant lease agreements." I said shrugging and smiling at Harley. She beamed at me and wrapped me in another hug briefly before hugging Kat as well. "Who else is out with you?"
"A bunch of fun people!" Harley said with her signature giggle at the end.
