A/N: Hi, all! I know it took me a while to get back...I wanted to update sooner, but I never had the time. Thank you to ready . aim . fire333, sanmi, alphito, and MonMaskedAnge for your encouragement regarding the sequel. I really appreciate the support. If anybody else would like to comment about the possibility of a sequel, feel free! Anyways, here's Chapter Eleven. It's about the same length as past chapters, not too long, not too short. This tale is drawing quickly to its conclusion, so read on!

Chapter Eleven: A Reward of Their Own

Gwen got a call from Deb around seven-thirty, as promised. From what she said, everything had gone smoothly since when Gwen had gotten off the phone. They'd found the contact in the parking lot with no trouble at all, and he'd directed them to the closest movie theater. Once there, they were all herded into the smallest theater in the building and played a short film.

"It was hilarious! A little weird, though," Deb explained. "It looked like it was a parody on what's been going on here in Gotham recently. They had these really crappy actors playing Harvey Dent, Rachel Dawes, Batman…"

"Rachel Dawes?"

"Assistant DA. Remember?"

"Oh, that's right. Dent's girlfriend, too, if I remember right. Go on."

"So, yeah, and it was basically formatted like a teaser trailer, but it looked all vandalized, like somebody had scribbled all over the film. And then there was this guy, who I guess was supposed to be J, but I'm not sure. He showed up all through the trailer. He was making all these cryptic comments in the voice over, and he was the only character who hadn't been scribbled over by whoever did that to the film. It was a little funny, but it was really cool, G! You really missed out."

"Ah, well," Gwen smiled. "You know, manning the 'Net will wear you out! I was too tired to tag along, anyways."

"Oh, that's junk," Deb laughed. "Whatever, though. Oh, and I thought I saw one of the theater workers give one of the other guys that was with us a reel of film."

"Yeah?"

"Mm-hmm. I'm betting it was a copy of the trailer thing. Tomorrow it'll probably be all over Youtube. You can watch it then."

"Okay. I might do that. I'm going to go to bed now, okay?"

"Alrightie. Talk to you later!"

"'Kay."

Gwen slept late the next day, but the first thing she did when she got up was check for any sign of a link to the video Deb had talked about. She was stunned to find that the site had actually been shut down in the night. Surprised and disappointed, she clicked on the TV to see what had happened. As it were, Lieutenant Gordon was talking to the newscaster.

"So, Lieutenant Gordon, what prompted the shutdown of the website, again? The GPD has allowed it to run for nigh on two months now without problems," the newscaster, Engel, said.

"Well, sir," Gordon paused for a moment, as if deciding how to word what he was to say next. "We had had our suspicions about the website in question for a long while, almost since the creation of the site itself. There had been speculation that it tied in somehow to the events surrounding this year's Comic Convention. We cannot confirm or deny that. It had also been alleged that the site was involved in the attempted robbery at Gotham National Bank. However, the real proof of illegal activity associated with came last night, when an anonymous member posted a video of a reel of film shown illegally last night in twelve theaters across the city. Every effort is being made to track this member down. The rest of the members of the site will be kept anonymous and will not be held responsible for any criminal activity unless more evidence surfaces in the future. It is our hope that the shutdown of this site will halt the activities that have been taking place as part of the plot on , and that this motion will bring us one step closer to catching 'J,' the ringleader of the activities."

"Thank you, Lieutenant. And now, for a word on the weather from Anthony Von Weber. Anthony?"

The rest of the day passed uneventfully for Gwen. She got a call from Reeva in the late morning regarding the shutdown of the site, but they didn't talk for too long. Then, Tracy texted in the afternoon to tell Gwen that she'd found a link for the video reel on Youtube that had not been deleted yet. Gwen was in the middle of checking search results on Monster to check right away, but by the time that she got around to it the video was gone. It wasn't a big deal, of course, she told herself. The Joker had promised her and the other online players a reward of their own that evening.

As the afternoon came and went, Gwen found herself getting a little nervous about the event of the night ahead. What if the Joker was caught, and she was connected to his crimes--whatever they were--for coming to this meeting? Would the police believe her when she explained how she had been trying to prove the Joker's criminality all along? Worries plagued her. She thought about sending an e-mail to humanresources whysoserious . com about her problems, but decided against it in the end.

A/N: Alright, guys, Chapter Eleven is in the bag. I know that wasn't a very good ending to the chapter, but for timing purposes it had to be cut that way. Sorry, but it's better than a cliffhanger, right? I hope everyone liked the way I treated the trailer showing. I thought that the part about the "really crappy actors" might crack some people up. Anyways, I'll be getting Chapter Twelve up as soon as I can, and after that there's only one more chapter to go! Can you believe it? Do you want more? Review! :)
