Ch7: Make Her Pay
"Babe listen to me!" Harley pleaded as she walked around The Joker trying to find those deep green eyes she knew and loved. He turned his back towards her as he looked down at his pistol that had been custom made just for him, featuring his favorite colors and that now lay in his slender hands while he completely ignored her. They had arrived back at the warehouse and everything was chaotic as henchmen ran in multiple directions as they desperately carried bag after bag of loot from the van. Meanwhile buffer henchmen guarded the large door with massive weapons right in their huge arms as they stood with broad shoulders and ready to fire if the circumstances required them to do so, the veins in his arms were prominent as the clutched their weapons righter in their hands as they scanned the darkness in front of them.

The Joker walked back and forth all along the warehouse while he supervised that everything went without any issues while Harley trailed closely behind him begging for attention like a defenseless puppy.
"Harley I saw you. Do you think I'm stupid?" The Joker suddenly spun around and laid his furious eyes on her while he raised his lean arms up to her shoulder to violently push her backwards.
"N…no. Of course not. Just please listen to me I can explain puddin." Harley's eyes grew wide as she pleaded desperately. Her words began to run into each other as she nervously tried to explain what exactly had happened.
"There's nothing to explain. I saw you with that trust fund baby! He was into you" The Joker clenched his jaw and let out a big sigh. He shifted his body to look around him and make sure no one had been listening to what he just said. There had been a few workers who walked by but they knew better than to eavesdrop on his boss, only one was stupid enough to stop. As The Joker looked around the goon was staring straight at them as he listened closely to what they were saying. The Joker clenched his sharp jaw and pointed his weapon at his worker and as soon as his boss laid his burning eyes onto him, he immediately drifted his eyes and his stomach dropped. The Joker narrowed his eyes before pulling the trigger filling the small hallway with a loud and echoing bang. Soon the floor below their feet was quickly pooling with fresh thick blood.

"Someone clean this up… NOW!" he lightly chuckled before grabbing Harley's arm tightly and pulled her violently down the hallway.
"Where are you taking me?" Harley tried to control the fear that was beginning to bubble up on her stomach but she kept a straight face as she began to walk all the while as she tried to forget the look of the goon's eyes just as the bullet pierced his brain.
"Just shut up and keep walking darlin" The Joker tightened the grip on her arms and continued to pull her along. As they walked, the incoming crowd of henchmen parted like the Red Sea to clear a path for their boss. They had done the right thing as after taking one look at him, they could tell that tonight was the wrong night to piss him off. As they walked, Harley ran her eyes over many of the henchmen and she could notice one common feature: They all shared the same look of tender eyes of sympathy and fear. They knew that one wrong move from Harley's part, and the joker would blow her head off.
Soon they reached the metal stairs at the end of the hallway. Harley begun to slow her pace as she thought her lover was going to stop and talk there but he wasn't slowing down. Instead he sped up and quickly went up the stairs as he pulled her up along with him. As soon as they reached the top, Harley knew exactly where she was being taken and she began to relax a bit.
Soon they reached the large double doors that led right to the office and he halted to a stop. The joker let go of the tight grip he had around Harley's arm and turned his back to her as he began to unlock the door. He briefly glanced behind him to shot one quick glance over to her that served as a warning for her to stay put. Once he looked back at the door, he reached for his pocket and almost immediately pulled out a small key that was identical to the one Harley had once used to open his cell back at Arkham, something that seemed like ages ago. He slowly turned the key and pushed the door open and stepped in. Harley let out one stressed sigh and quickly followed him in.
"Are we going to talk now or are you just going to keep hiding from the men?" Harley lightly teased
"I'm not hiding Harley. I don't need them knowing our personal business." The joker leaned closer to her to explain.
"Anyways… Look it's not…" Harley began to explain herself but stopped as his cold hand covered her mouth to silence her.
"I told u. I saw how he looked at you with those hungry eyes. And you didn't stop him either" The Joker lowered his hand in order to let her speak
"Well that was completely unnecessary!" Harley slapped his hand down and rolled her eyes "I had to blend in. You told me to blend in at that party. How was I supposed to blend in if I'm sitting alone at a table, not talking to anyone or dancing or anything! How is that blending in?" Harley crossed her arms and clenched her jaw in an attempt to lower her anger and keep her hands from slapping him across his white clown face.
"You…you do have a point. I just… Ugh seeing him like that. With his hands around you and you letting another man touch you… I completely lost it." He sighed as he admitted what had upset him in the first place.
"I was just following orders. It's not like I was actually interested in him when I already have the most wonderful man in the whole world by my side. ." Harley turned towards him to shot him an half annoyed and half loving glare.
"Hey don't look at me like that" he grabbed her by the shoulders and leaned in to lay a tender kiss on her forehead.
"I do what I want" Harley suppressed a smile and stood on her tippy toes while she wrapped her arms around the love of her life.
"Sure you do" the Joker rolled his eyes and gently pressed his lips to hers gently and began to pull away
"Umm I wasn't done kissing you" Harley complained as she grasped the back of his head with her hand and brought his face close to her again. She stared deeply into his eyes and shot him a gentle smirk before she slowly began to lean in. As the distance between their lips closed, Harley smiled and decided to bite his bottom lip. The joker flinched a little and began to laugh. The throaty sound of his joyful laughter bounced in an echo around the room and this sound reached Harley's heart melting it with joy. She lowered her hands to wrap herself around her lover's torso and pressed her head to her chest while her eyes fluttered shut. As he laughed, he lowered his hands around Harley to wrap her closer to him. And they just stayed like that for quite some time. So long that she had not noticed when he had stopped laughing. She was so lost in her own thoughts that she hadn't even noticed when the joker had loosened his grip on her and had already lowered his arms and was waiting for her to let go.
"Oh sorry" Harley's eyes shot open and she immediately lowered her hands and took a large step back.
"Hahahahah! About time Harley geez!" The Joker teased and chuckled a bit as Harley looked down and bit her lip all the while her cheeks flushed as red as her costume. "Anyways…" He cleared his throat "Please get out I need to work alone right now. Go to sleep or go train… I don't care just make yourself useful and get out of my way and out of the henchmen's way" The Joker turned his back to her and looked and waited for her to leave. Harley stared at his lean but somewhat muscular back for a few seconds and sighed.

The evil clown had returned, making the lover vanish.
Sometimes I wish me and Mr. Jay had a regular relationship. – She sadly thought as she spun on her heel and bounced as she walked out of the room. As she was leaving she gently grabbed the doorknob and slowly shut it behind her, creating a physical barrier between her and the love of her life.
A loud click from the door announced that he had locked himself away from the rest of the world. Harley let another deep sigh escape her lips as the mere thought of him not wanting her around hurt her soul more than she liked to admit.
Ugh why am I being so stupid right now?!- She asked herself as she noticed the knot in her throat. She took a deep breath and swallowed the painful feeling. She could literally feel the painful knot scratching the walls of her esophagus as she tried to control her emotions.
I need to get out of here before he realizes I'm still out here- she began to stride away from the office in a desperate manner. Harley's mind was racing as a million thoughts poked around her brain at a million miles per hour and all she wanted to do was crawl into bed and forget all the awful scenarios her subconscious was playing out for her.
Her mind was so busy trying to block all her thoughts that she almost missed the door to her room. She backed up a few steps and violently swung it open and stepped inside. As the door swung backwards, Harley grabbed it before it collided with the adjacent wall and as fast as she had opened the door she closed it behind her, isolating her from the rest of the world as she mimicked her lovers actions and locked herself away. She angrily stomped towards her closet and somehow managed to quickly get out of her costume without damaging the tight but delicate fabric. Harley quickly changed into a random pair of light rain cloud grey sweatpants and a basic black t-shirt before throwing herself into her bed. As the rain outside began to worsen, so did Harley's mood. She missed her lover. Even though he was only a few minutes away from her, she missed how he used to treat her, the way he looked at her… All the small things that she had fallen for.

I knew he was different kind of man. I knew from the beginning that he was insane and that our relationship was going to be difficult… I knew EXACTLY what I was getting myself into… He's busy. He's a business man. He loves me… I hope.


It was her… I can't believe it. I saw it. I saw HER!- Bruno angrily smashed his fist down on the desk in front on him, forcing the lamp to rattle and the shadows behind it to shake vigorously. He stayed there, hunched down a little as he furiously concentrated on the shadows
"Fuck! Why didn't I see this coming!" He pushed the desk back and used that same force to stand back up. "That bitch!" He huffed angrily and slowly began to make his way to the window. "She played me. She was with that clown and me and the same time. What a fucking whore. No one uses me… Let alone to free that crazy ass fucker. She needs to pay!" He growled and inhaled deeply to clear his head in order to be able to think of a plan. As the sun began to set, Bruno clenched his jaw full of anger and stomped back and forth between the door and the widow inside his now dark bedroom. As his heart matched his room in darkness his mind lit up as a bright but risky idea flashed in his brain.
"No, that's crazy! It's suicide!" He chuckled briefly in disbelief at his own insanity and shook the idea away. But as hard as he tried to throw a few ideas around his head, his initial idea kept coming up.
"Fuck it… That's the best I can come up with. I must be equally insane to want to try this." Bruno lightly laughed as he made his way to his room. He quickly dropped to his knees and slid down to reach under his bed and patted the ground a few times in search. Soon his hand softly collided with a cardboard shoe box which he didn't hesitate to pull out. He carried the whole box with him and placed it on the bed.
"This will make her pay" his lips spread into a dark smile as he pulled out a handgun from inside the box. With a small movement he loaded it, emanating a small click from the gun and he just lifted the gun closer to his face to take a closer look at it.
"I will use this gun on Harleen's head and clear up my name." Bruno sighed and walked out the door with only one thought on his mind… Vengeance
