Evil Intent part 3
Curiosity kicked the padded walls around her furiously before hearing the door to solitary open and stopping abruptly.
"Professor Strange." She greeted, turning her head to the side slightly to look over her shoulder at him but then turning back to the wall and kicking it once more for good measure.
"Miss Riler." He greeted in return, studying her as she kicked the wall angrily.
She threw him a sideways glance now and glared at him.
"Don't call me that. If you're going to address me like that I'm not going to speak to you." she said flatly, growing impatient.
Hugo seemed a little confused by this. It was only her name after all but he shrugged and sat down.
"Alright, how may I address you then? Would you prefer I called you Haley?" he asked calmly.
"My name is Curiosity." She said, glaring fiercely at him now, "Haley died a long time ago." She said, turning back toward away from him and sitting in the corner, prepared to ignore him until he left.
"Alright "Curiosity"." He started, putting an emphasis on Curiosity that made her want to choke him, "I assume you know why you are here?"
"Actually I don't. I don't know why I'm here. I don't know why I'm sitting in an asylum with a crackpot shrink and a bunch of flunkies. I should have left by now. I should be onto the next city, onto the next alias, onto the next killing spree! But NO! No, instead I'm here. I'm here in solitary with you because I made the mistake of not killing the stupid orderlies who pried my hands from Jonathan Crane's scrawny little neck." She hissed angrily, whipping around to face him.
"And why are you here? Why don't you leave? You have before haven't you?" he asked, starring at her as if she were some kind of bug under a microscope.
She smirked at this now but still glared at him.
"Because I have a little unfinished business to take care of…" she said darkly.
"And what type of business would this be?" he asked slyly.
"The type of business that I almost accomplished when I blew up your office." She grinned, sending shivers down even his spine.
She saw this and chuckled slightly.
"What? Don't tell me you didn't know I was the one who tried to kill you." she grinned, grabbing him by t "Don't worry though I'm not going to try that again… I'm going to succeed."
At this Hugo pressed a button and two orderlies came in to take her back to her cell. She smirked at them and then turned her gaze back to Hugo.
"After all… Curiosity kills." She managed as the two escorted her back to her cell.
"Starting with Jonathan…" she thought with a grin but then cast a glance backward down the hallway at Adrian, "Although I might just wait until I can torture him the most…" she laughed, startling the orderlies slightly as they walked past her cell. She gave them a slightly confused look but then looked back to see Jonathan sneering back at her from his cell, dark bruises beginning to appear around his neck.
"Careful, your face will stick." Curiosity smirked back at him.
"You're in a good mood." He noted with a slight frown.
She grinned back at him. "I just told Hugo off AND by the looks of it I'm going to get to kill you and your girlfriend REAL soon."
"REALLY? And why's that?" he asked.
"Because Adrian's about to pop and when she does both of you are going to wish you'd never met each other." She laughed before she was led down the hallway to cell number 138.
She glanced at the cameras around the hall as she was returned to the cell now and realized that several of the cameras were in fact still dummies.
"It figures… the one time I have the opportunity to escape I have business to take care of and I can't leave." She laughed.
Suddenly high pitched laughter joined her and she stopped to look down the hall a few cells down only to see the Joker grinning back at her.
"Good night Haley and… happy birthday." He grinned, "Sweet dreams…" he said darkly before laughing and going back to his bed and lying down.
She glanced at the clock. It was still only 2 A.M.
"Happy birthday to me…" she said quietly, lying down on her bed, staring straight at the ceiling.
