By the way, you should all try hanging out of a car window like the Joker did in the Dark Knight. Its exhilarating and sooo much fun!
Gordon's POV
Here I am at my office as usual. The Joker robbed the Goldstone Bank and someone was kidnapped, so I'm gonna be here for a long time. Hmm, I'll have fun trying to explain that to my wife, Lisa. When I was elected police commissioner, I knew I was going to have so much more work and responsibilities, but all this business with the Joker has been too much. I've practically been sleeping at the station, and I haven't been able to spend time with my family. Lisa and I have been fighting for weeks, but I can't blame her for being so angry with me, I'm even mad at myself. But what really kills me is the effect all of this has on my kids. George is taking it the hardest. On the rare occasion that I'm home, she's either holed up in her room, and acts like I don't exist. I just wish the Joker would give up, so I can see my family again.
All of a sudden, I looked out of my window that looks out into the police station. I saw George's friends Steve, Evan, and Benji running towards my office. I didn't see George with them, so I automatically knew something was wrong. "What's wrong?", I asked as the boys reached the door. I was sure I was shaking.
Evan spoke, out of breath. "George! She was kidnapped! Bank robbery!" No, he wasn't talking about Goldstone robbery was he? "Wait, calm down. Now what bank was it?", I asked. "Goldstone!", Benji said. "One of them took George!" I sank down in my. "We tried to get her back but all we got was her purse", Steve said, handing George's purse to me. "It was the Joker. Him and his men robbed that bank. The one person who was kidnapped was George.", I said. A look of shock washed over Evan, Benji, and Steve's faces. "Oh my God", Evan quietly said. "The Joker? The real Joker?!", Benji shouted. I nodded. "I can't believe he kidnapped my baby girl." I then picked up my phone to call Detective Bay. When he picked up, I said "Bay, regarding the Joker kidnapping, I need you to send out all of your units." I hung up and said to the boys "Do you boys want to help me get George back?"
George's POV
"Your partner in crime? What the hell are you taking about?", I said. "Well, I just knocked off some of my henchmen, so I need to make up for that!", the Joker said, laughing. He just killed his goons like that?! "You're crazy!", I shouted. But he laughed again. "I may have some wiring loose but hey, who doesn't?" He then grabbed my arm and pulled me with him. "Come on toots, we've got some business to take care of!", he said, licking his lips. Someone save me now, because I can see where this is going.
He dragged me to a garage where a shiny black Hummer was waiting. "Wow, nice Hummer", I said. "Get in the car!", the Joker demanded. Okay, forget what I said. Once I got inside on the passenger's side, he turned the car on ans sped off like a madman. Oh wait, he is a madman. The song Doomsday by Atreyu came blaring through the speakers as the Joker traveled through Gotham's streets at a high speed. He stopped at an abandoned warehouse and turned the car off. Seriously, these things must be everywhere in Gotham.
"Get out", he commanded, so I did. He then pulled out a handgun, cocked it, and handed it to me. "What the fuck do you want me to do with this?", I asked, carefully examining it. I've never held a gun before. "You're gonna stand by the door and look pretty. Of course, that comes naturally for you. But if someone tries to get inside, ya shoot. Capiche?", he said while laughing and licking his lips. What the hell is wrong with this guy? "You want me to shoot someone?!", I yelled. He shushed me. Kneeling down and moving his face closer to me while I slightly backed my head away, he whispered "Not so loud! And quit playin' dumb toots, ya know why I want ya to shoot."
I followed him up to the door. Before he went inside, the Joker said "You should really give the playing dumb thing a rest, cause I know you're a smart girl" What was he talking about? I'm just getting more and more confused. "I'll be back in a few minutes." He kissed my forehead and I pushed him off. "Get off of me!", I said. He slapped me again and went inside. I'm guessing I should give up on that. Now I was outside all by myself. At least it wasn't dark yet, because being outside alone at night scares the crap out me, especially being in a seedy place like this. I leaned against the doorway holding the gun and praying that no one would come around here. Well, except for the police, but that's beside the point. I don't want to shoot anyone. I may be a hateful person most of the time, but I could never take another human being's life. Which is why I'm so confused as to why the Joker is dragging me on his little crime spree. Obviously I'm not one of his goons. He could have tortured me for a while and killed me, which was his usual fashion, but he didn't. He could also hold me for ransom but as far as I knew, he wasn't.
As I was trying to make some sense out of this ordeal, I heard a series of gunshots coming inside the building, and a minute later, I saw the Joker walk nonchalantly out. "Hey toots", he said to me. "Is there any blood on me?" He turned around, thinking I was going to check for him. Yeah right. "Did you just murder people?", I shouted. "Yeah", he casually said. "How can you just kill off people like that you psycho! This isn't some T.V. show!", I threw my arms up in the air and forgetting that I was still holding the gun, I accidentally pulled the trigger and a loud BANG! filled the air. "OH SHIT!", I yelled and the Joker quickly grabbed the gun from me. Putting the safety on he said "Obviously you need a little lesson on how to handle a gun!" He laughed yet again.
The Joker walked to the Hummer and got in the driver's side, so I climbed in the passenger's side. I was sitting in the car, waiting for him to start the engine but he was just sitting there staring at me. I turned my head to look at him. He was smiling at me. I t wasn't the sadistic toothy grin, but it wasn't warm and comforting either. "Can I help you?", I asked with some annoyance in my voice. "Ya know", he said, propping his elbow on the back of seat "All you've been doing is insulting me." Wow, this guy's a real enigma because I'm even more confused. "What are you talking about?", I asked. He laughed and licked his lips. Okay, this lip licking thing is getting real annoying. "You fascinate me." This is really weird. I didn't know what to say, so I said nothing. The Joker turned around to face the steering wheel and turned the car on. The sounds of Stone Temple Pilot's Sex Type Thing filled the car. I couldn't help but nod my head and sing along because I love STP so much.
Then the lyrics suddenly hit me. "I am I am I am/ I said I wanna get next to you/ I said I wanna get close to you/ You wouldn't want me have to hurt ya too, hurt ya too?" and "I know you want what's on my mind/ I know you like what's on my mind/ I know it eats you up inside/ I know", Scott Weiland sang in his deep voice. I looked over at the Joker who had a maniacal grin on his face as he weaved in and out of traffic. He then shouted over the music "You'll be Bonnie and I'll be Clyde and together, we'll watch this city burn!" Oh joy, this is going to a wild ride.
