Chpt.11

It was almost ten o'clock and Jason and I stood waiting for the informant in an ally way.

I didn't like the fact that our meeting place had to be an ally. I mean, Gotham city was known for its terrible crimes and a lot of them took place in alleyways. Most likely because they were dark and it was easy to pull people in from the streets while in one.

Needless to say I wished I had stayed in the van. But of course, I had to go with Jason. He was afraid that the moment he left me alone I'd be running to Wayne Manner to be at my brother's side.

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a rustling sound coming from deeper in the alleyway. It was too big to be a stray cat, so I figured that it must've been the informant we were waiting for.

Out of the shadows came a weasely looking man who was very thin with greasy unwashed hair. He eyed Jason suspiciously, and when he saw me, he got a smug smile on his face, showing his gaps of his missing teeth and his unwashed yellow ones. He looked to me like a rat. Smelt like one too.

"You wanted to get some info on Black Mask?" he questioned in a whisper, darting his beady eyes up to look at Jason.

"Yes." Jason nodded back, getting straight to the point. The man smiled a sickly yellow smile, and stated,

"I got the information, but if you want it, I'll need a little something back in return." he explained.

I looked up at Jason who was staring daggers at the informant. Jason seemed not to like the guy and I didn't blame him. He was creepy beyond all belief and I didn't like the way he kept glancing over at me with that sick smile of his.

"What type of 'little something' do you want?" Jason questioned and I immediately felt a pair of eyes on me.

"You're little girly friend should do." he smirked. "She looks like one of the types that can lick the lollipop real good, if you know what I mean." he grinned evilly. I didn't enjoy hearing the comment, and restrained myself from punching the man in the face.

"Jason, I'm not really enjoying this." I whispered. The man was still looking at me waiting for an answer. A thought of panic then entered my mind.

Wait, what if Jason makes me go with him anyway? It sounds like something he would do. Jason noticed my uneasy look on my face, and nodded his head.

"I don't like him either." he replied, making me feel slightly better. Jason then pinned the man to the wall and swiftly had a gun placed to the man's temple.

"I have a gun, you have information. You tell me that information and the bullets won't fire." he threatened. "That enough of a 'little something,' for you?" Jason looked as if he was going to kill the man at any given moment.

"Alright! Alright man!" the informant exclaimed in fear, but Jason didn't move his gun.

"Well?" he questioned.

"Black Mask's main building of operation is a warehouse on Broadway Street. He's been rushing his men to find some chick and Red Hood." he blurted out.

"Have any idea why he wants the girl and Red Hood?" I questioned and he shook his head furiously.

"N-no! No idea I swear!" he whimpered. Jason paused staring at the man who trembled in fear. Jason was either thinking about what to do next or pausing just to scare the guy more. I would guess the later.

"Alright," Jason finally spoke after about a minute of silence. The man looked up at Jason with hope in his eyes, praying that today he would live. "Now run before I shoot you." Jason growled and the man stumbled to his feet and dashed away in a panic.

Jason laughed at the man's fear, enjoying it. I found it uneasy how he enjoyed fear.

I mean, it's funny to laugh at your friend during Halloween in a haunted hay ride and they get scared, but that was out of fun. Jason laughed at people who were scared they were going to die. The look on their faces are just priceless to him.

He knows that he isn't going to kill them, but they don't. It just seemed to make him more sick and twisted then he already was.

He then started to head back to the van after he had his good laugh. I followed after him, and questioned,

"So, now what?" Jason smiled and placed his Red Hood helmet on his head.

"Now we take the fight to Black Mask."
