Kagome fell back on her heels, shoving her phone in her pocket and turning, her hair an inch from Bruce's face.
"Dick, will you see her out?" Bruce asked, crossing his arms and watching the woman walking away. Kagome froze and spun, her finger pointing at her former fiancé as he started walking forward. "Do you think I'm stupid by the way? Did you really think I didn't notice you following me here?"
Dick sighed and lengthened his stride to catch up as she began walking away again. "You shut me out quicker than I've ever seen, I wanted to make sure you were okay." He explained as they walked through the grandfather clock entrance.
Kagome whirled on him, an incredulous look on her face. "Of course I shut you out! You put that wall right back up when you broke up with me, you made that choice so you can suck it up and deal with that."
"Alright, you're right I'm sorry. At least let me take you home, you're too upset to drive." Dick requested. Following her down the front steps he stood in the open car door, looking at her concerned.
Kagome turned the ignition, letting out a frustrated noise when the car didn't start. "I don't need a ride, I need my car to start!" Kagome hissed. Slamming her hands on the wheel, she bowed her head down noticing a joker card on her floorboard. 'Son of a bitch messed with my car!' she thought.
Snatching the card up she slid out of the car and slammed the door. "Can I take you home?" Dick asked. "I'll walk." Kagome mumbled stuffing her hands in her pockets. "You're being unreasonable." Dick grumbled. "And you're being annoying!" Kagome retorted.
"It's freezing." He mumbled. "I've been through worse, now leave me alone." Kagome said beginning to walk down the driveway. Dick rubbed the back of his neck and glanced up at the clouds beginning to roll in, the promise of snow coming with them before darting back inside.
Kagome waited until she walked through the gates before pulling the joker card out of her back pocket, reading the red paint over the joker's face and recognizing the same riddle she had received in a text.
What do men want the least on their hands?
Flipping it over, she narrowed her eyes: remember tomorrow by 8 or your honey bunch dies
Glancing over her shoulder at the approaching car she heaved a sigh as Dick pulled up slowly. "Please, I'm begging you to let me take you home." Kagome glanced up at the sky as the first flurries began to fall and nodded before going around to the passenger side. 'What do men want least on their hands?' she thought, watching the trees pass she bit her lip and leaned her head back, looking at Dick's hands out of the corner of her eye. 'A ring?' she thought. Scoffing she turned back to the window and blinked as they passed the police department. 'Wait a second.'
"Handcuffs." She breathed.
