Chapter 2

We arrived at an old and abandoned hotel which I think is the "hideout" my "dad" mentioned. I was about to jump off the van when the Joker pushed me to the ground.

"Oops! I'm sooooo sorry son." He picked me up by the collar of my shirt then took me into the hotel. He dragged me up the stairs, into a room that I think is a suite. "This is our room."he said. "Our room? Why can't I have my own room?" I yelled. That was a mistake cause the Joker kicked me in the stomach and punched me in the face. "Sounds like someone's being a drama queen!" the Joker said. "Dad! I'm home!" I heard a voice yelled downstairs. "Coming sweetie!" the Joker called back. "Time to see your older sister, Eva." the Joker said excitedly. He walked down the stairs while I was being dragged down and I saw a young girl with brown eyes and dark blonde hair. "Here's the money I took while I was away Dad." Eva said.

"Thanks. Just what I needed for my plans. Speaking of plans, Jason! You're going to be part of my plan tomorrow! We are going to rob a bank, and make you like your sister." the Joker gestered to Eva who smirked at me. "I don't know..." I said. The Joker held me against a wall and make his grip on my shoulders tighter. "Remember our little, uh, deal we made earlier?" the Joker asked. "What was the deal?" Eva asked. "None of your business!" I screamed. The Joker punched me hard on the stomach then said, "Either say you're sorry to your sister, or one of your grandparents will literally be sleeping with the fishes." He said darkly. Just thinking one of my grandparents being drowned by force breaks my heart. "Fine," I said, "I'm very sorry Eva." "I forgive you." she said. The Joker dropped me to the ground, I just ignored the pain. So I walked to our room to go to sleep.


"I couldn't find him anywhere. I even looked at nearby cities." Batman said to officer Gordon. "Well, we'll find him somehow. It's pretty brave of him to leave with the Joker so that nobody can get hurt." officer Gordon exclaimed. "Our witness, Maricarla, said that the young boy, Jason, was her closest friend and told us about the crime scene." Gordon explained.

"I'm going to find that boy. Because the Joker doesn't deserve anything worth keeping." Batman vowed. Then he disappeared into the darkness.


"Wakey wakey Jason!" I fell off my mattress and looked up to see Eva and Joker looking at me straight in the eye. "It's time for our big day! Better dress up!" He said excitedly. I stood up wondered around the room to loook for any clothes I can wear. "What exacltly am I gonna wear?" I asked suspiciously. "Here's the best part! Eva is going to dress you. I told her exactly what she needs to make you look, uh, suitible for our big day!" the Joker said excitedly. He left the room leaving me and Eva alone. "Ok, I'm going to do this quick because he also said he wants to leave immediatetly" Eva explained. She handed me what appears to be green and purple fabric. I shrugged and put them on. Just as i finished tying the tie, Eva started painting my face with grease paint. after of 8 minutes of dressing up, I looked to the nearest mirror I can find.

"I look like a minier version of the Joker!" I yelled. "It's what he wants you to wear anyways. Now go to the front door, I got to change my outfit too." She opened the door for me to walk through first and she followed.

I walked down the stairs and saw the Joker at the front door. When he saw me, he laughed hysterically "Wow! Did Eva did a pleasant job or what! Let's go to the van mini me." After he said that, he started laughing again.

It didn't take Eva long to change clothes and hair. She had a lime green dress with purple ribbons all around it, and hair was tied back to two ponytails with a purple ribbon on the left and a green one on the right. "You look beau-ti-ful Eva!" the Joker said."Thanks dad." Eva said. Eva sat next to me while the Joker was on the other side of me. I just sat there on the whole ride when we came to a sudden stop. "We're here" a voice said. Once again the Joker pushed me out of the van but this time I didn't fall to the ground. "Now wait here till I give the signal. Got it?" the Joker said darkly, I quickly nodded my head.

By the time he got in, I heard a gunshot coming from the bank and people started screaming. I thought I heard the Joker yelling at the people to shut up to go to the ground. I heard another gunshot and then Eva said "That's our signal." She pushed me into the bank followed by other goons. They went to the front of the bank taking money away while the Joker introduced me to the crowd. "This is my , uh, son Jason. Wave to the people Jason." I slowly waved at the frightened eyes of about fifteen people. "Now, to make things run smoothly around here, you are going to shoot anybody who protests, escapes, or tries to kill you. Understand?" I just stood there watching the people looking back at me with pleading eyes to not to murder them while they still have alot to live through.

I was caught off guard when the Joker punched me on the face and repeated, "Do you understand me?" I immediately nodded. He smirked and handed me a gun. "You can't do this to your own son! You're worse than a monster!" a woman in the back yelled. The Joker pointed the gun in my hands toward the woman. "Shoot her." he said. My index finger trembled ontop of the trigger. "Shoot her!" the Joker yelled. I suddenly pulled the trigger and shot the woman in the arm. She screamed in pain. "Ugh let me do it!" he pushed Jason behind him and started shooting. While the Joker was busy, Jason ran out of the bank.

"I gotta go to Mariarla's house!" I said then I ran left and headed straight to Maricarla's house. I got to her front door and started pounding on the door. "Hang on I'm coming! Sheesh!" I heard her yelling on the other side of the door. "Maricarla! Maricarla! It's me Jason open up!" The door opened and Maricarla stood there socked that I was here. "Jason! Hurry come in!" I ran in and she took my arm and pulled me upstairs to her room. "I've been worried about you! Did he hurt you?" she asked. "Yes he did. But I'm so glad to see you!" She started washing off the face paint and started asking so many questions as if she was my mom. She was about to speak when one of the Joker's goons got her shoulder and held her against him. "You shouldn't run away when I was , uh, giving you a lesson Jason." the Joker said. "I COULDN'T KILL THAT WOMAN! I CAN'T HURT ANYBODY LIKE YOU DO!" I screamed. The Joker got out his knife and held it on Maricarla'a neck, "I don't know if you remember our little deal..." he said. "Nooo! Don't you dare hurt her!" I said. "Who's she? And is she , uh, your girlfriend?" he asked. "No I'm his closest friend Joker!" Maricarla said. "Well then, take her to the van. I got an idea for our little Jason." he walked ouut the door whle I followed his goon. "Don't worry," I said,"I'll try to protect you from him."
