A loud buzzing sound woke Sadie from her deep sleep. She sat up straight and looked around; there was a red light flashing outside her door, which was now wide open. She was confused. Her father explained this to her once before; there was a button used to open all of the cell doors incase of emergencies, such as fires. Sadie didn't panic due to her confusion. She stood up, straightened up her gray hospital gown, and walked slowly towards the door.

The buzzing sound rang in her ears as she approached. Once she peered down the hall, she noticed the other patients doing the same thing she was doing. They all looked confused as they tried to figure out what was going on. Sadie looked at the frightened patients, then down the hall. She started walking towards the nearest guard post to see what was going on.


The Joker started giggling as he watched the security cameras. The confused looks made this worth it. While he watched, he saw one person cross from one camera's view to another's; the black haired girl. He leaned closer to the screen before she disappeared and reappeared into another camera's view. He kicked one of the guard's dead bodies out of the way and opened the patient files. He scanned through the files, throwing the wrong ones behind him wildly. He, finally, found her file:

Sadie Lynn Laine; 27
Born to: Michael Allen Laine & Tracy Ann Laine (Baldwin)

The Joker recognized her father's name; he was one of the doctors that used to be on the payroll. He quit and moved to a different city before The Joker had a chance to get acquainted. Joker's hatred for doctors made this scenario far more interesting. He scanned the rest of the paper.

Doctors Notes:
Sadie Laine is notorious for drug use; Heroin, mostly. She also has signs of depression and suicidal tendencies (Bi-polar disorder). Under too much stress or pressure, she is known to lash out at herself and others. She was addicted to prescription anti-anxiety medication and street Vicodin. She was once anorexic and has been known to, on occasion, purge. She is to be treated with caution, not only for others, but for herself as well. She is to be watched carefully.
-Dr. Mark Jacobs

The Joker burst into a mad laughter. "The daughter of a doctor and she's completely insane!" He threw the file at one of his thugs and stood up, still smiling. "My kind of girl." He looked at the security camera and then started walking down the hall, his thugs followed.

He walked down one hall, then down another one. When he turned his third corner, after passing numerous mental patients, he spotted her. When she saw him, she froze in her tracks.


Sadie's heart jumped into her throat, then dropped into her stomach. She had never really been afraid to die, but The Joker seemed to paralyze her with fear. He stood there, staring at her with a permanent smile on his face. Before he could say whatever was at his lips, Sadie turned around and ran. She could hear foot steps following her, along with his laughter; the kind of laugh that drives fear into the hearts of the brave.

The Joker would let out a bark, then a horrifying laugh. A few times, he fired some rounds out of one of his guns, but he was mostly goading her way. Sadie began to scream as she let a few tears reach the surface. As she climbed a flight of stairs, one of the thugs had caught up to her and shot; he missed her head by mere inches. She screamed again as she tried to find her sanctuary.
