Chapter 4: The Fox.
Gotham City 9:00 P.m.
Location: Joker's Club.
The night club loomed menacingly, multi colored lights flashing in the windows. Inside Joker sat in his office glaring at one of his henchmen furious. "What do you mean she escaped!?" He yelled. "Boss did you see what happened to Dave? She was just too fast! "The man said. Joker growled in frustration, "She's just a stupid kid who thinks i can be intimidated! She doesn't realize how easy i could kill her if it wasn't for her damn sister! " Joker yelled. It was true, Harley made him promise not to kill her sister but weren't promises made to be broken? He thought of how easily he could kill that little brat, snap her neck, stab her, cut her up and feed her to the wolves! Joker sighed in frustration as it took over again. That annoying feeling that he had when he thought about Harley. It was so stupid, how could he have these feelings when he thought he buried them? It wasn't what anyone called 'love' no, it was something else entirely but it definitely wasn't hate either. He reserved that for her brat sister Caroline. "Boss! We found her! We know where she is! "Joker's right hand Jonny Frost said. Joker's face perked up before saying, "Where's my little Fox? "He asked. Jonny nearly shuddered at his tone of voice but he knew not to show fear. "She's at the Iceberg Lounge, Fish's old club. " Jonny said. Joker's sick smirk grew even wider, "So, Fox thinks she can hide behind her feathered friend huh? We'll see about that! "With that Joker rounded up his men, and they prepared for their little field trip.
Meanwhile, at The Iceberg Lounge.
Caroline went inside the club, hoping to find her friend. He had asked her to meet him, saying it was important. Caroline made her way through the grinding bodies poking her head up from the crowd of people. Despite being only sixteen years old she had learned how to make fake ID's, plus she could also be very 'persuasive' simply by breaking a few bones. People were very spineless these days! Caroline groaned in frustration till she saw a familiar head of spiky black hair,she smiled and rushed towards the fancy dressed limping man. "Ossie! "She cried, throwing her arms around his neck hugging him. "Caroline! I'm pleased you could make it! My men didn't give you any trouble did they? "Oswald asked. Caroline removed her arms from him smiling, she remembered when she first met Oswald. She had been fourteen, and had been out with Selina at the time. Selina made her stay outside to wait for her, but Caroline got bored waiting and just went in the club looking for her. Long story short she met Oswald and talked with him for awhile, and thanks to him she was able to get leads on her sister. They'd been friends ever since. Caroline sighed shaking herself from her thoughts and said "Nope! Not at all. "She said smiling. Oswald just smirked before he led her to a booth where they both sat to talk. "So, have you found anything yet on Joker? Did he-" she gulped. "Did he have something to do with Batman taking her?" She asked nervously. God,why was she so nervous? She had to be strong. Harley wouldn't want her to worry. Oswald sighed, he knew from experience what she was going through, his mother had been kidnapped and killed by former mayor Theo Galavan. And now it seemed like history was repeating itself. Only this time on a young innocent child. Granted, he knew she wasn't really innocent, at least not anymore. Oswald knew she didn't like being pitied, or portrayed as weak, but Oswald couldn't help but feel a slight pang of sympathy. To be honest, Oswald would rather kill that insane clown himself, but Caroline had insisted on doing it alone, saying it was her revenge, not his. Oswald smiled at her before he spoke "Well, i'm not exactly sure yet. Arkham has sealed every file making it impossible for anyone to find anything. But i think i can come up with a way around this, but it may take some time. "Oswald said. Caroline sighed and said "Ossie, im not sure we have much time he could-" suddenly the doors opened and shots were fired. People ran screaming, as men with ,she guessed clown masks forced their way in shooting everyone in their 's when Caroline heard that voice, the voice that penetrated her nightmares, "Little Foxie! Where are you? "Joker called. Upon hearing the voice, Oswald grabbed Caroline and attempted to escape with her saying "We gotta get out of here! I know a way out. "Caroline ran with Oswald careful not to be seen,but unfortunately Joker spotted them, "Where do YOU think YOUR going? "He yelled. Despite Caroline's protests Oswald before he glared at the psycho clown in front of him "Leave her alone Joker! Haven't you done enough? "Oswald yelled feeling his anger rise to dangerous levels. Joker just laughed, "Aww! Pengy's trying to protect the little Fox huh? HAHAHA! "He laughed. Oswald glared, "I Said Get Out! You've given her enough trouble!" Suddenly a shot rang out hitting Oswald in the shoulder. "OSWALD! "Caroline screamed. Feeling it was time to retreat, Oswald despite his injury grabbed Caroline shielding her from the gunfire and ran down stairs to the basement Joker close behind. Oswald and Caroline finally made it to the basement where a lone small window sat. Oswald realized he had to make a choice and fast. He knew she could handle herself but he also knew Joker and his men could overpower her and he didn't want to take that risk. "Caroline, i want you to go. You can easily fit through that window. "Oswald said. Caroline looked at him in disbelief, did he seriously think she should leave without him? "Oswald no! I can't! I can take him!" She pleaded. Oswald glared at her. Caroline was the most stubborn teenager he had ever met! Having her around was always like having a stubborn, grumpy, hormonal teenage daughter. And Oswald couldn't afford to lose someone else he considered family. The moment was short lived when they heard footsteps getting closer. "Caroline Please! I'll be fine! Just go alright? "He begged. Caroline sighed before she finally caved. She hugged him tears started to brim in her eyes, as she felt she was about to lose someone else to the madman. "Don't die! "She whispered. Oswald simply kissed her forehead and said "I'll be okay. I've handled worse. "With Caroline quickly made her escape. She forced her way out just as Joker stormed in aiming his gun at Penguin. "Where is she fish breath?" Joker yelled. Oswald smirked and said, "Wouldn't you like to know? "Joker growled and hit him with the gun. "Tell me or I'll break your other leg! "Joker sneered. Oswald spat out the blood pooling in his mouth before glaring at the green haired psychopath. "I'm not saying shit! "Oswald yelled. Joker groaned in frustration before he simply whacked him on the head with the gun, knocking him out. Joker stormed outside angrily, that stupid little brat eluded him again! Joker realized if he was gonna catch a fox, he would need some help. Of course, the only person that could possibly help was the most annoying and arrogant son of a bitch he ever met! Joker just hoped he could get him to work for him without killing him. TBC
