"So Chef, what do you have for me today?" Bruce Wayne. His slick black hair and sharp masculine features drove women crazy. Sarah can hardly form proper sentences when he's around, not to mention breathing; more than once I've had to send her outside for some air. I'll admit he is a good looking man, but if anything, he's just that; another good looking man.
"Are you serious? You've come in everyday for the past week. A few more meals and you would have gone though the whole menu." I continued to stir the contents in my bowl but smiled despite myself. He's helped out so much. "Hey Tony turn up the radio will ya? I like this song."
"It's a long way to the top! If ya wanna rock n rooooollll-We interrupt this song for breaking news. About an hour ago there was evidence found on the whereabouts on, Kaylee Andrews, the mayor's daughter. It has been said the Salvador Maroni is responsible for the kidnapping-wait what?-" in the background you could hear papers shuffling, "We just received information that Gotham's National Bank has been blown up and evidence believes that…Batman is responsible?"
Everyone in the room was silent. Soon after we heard three police sirens speeding down the street. Oh fuck. I looked over at Bruce and his entire stature was rigid. "Excuse me Katerina but I need to leave."
"Was your money in that bank?" honestly I was concerned. He could have lost his entire business.
"Uh-no…yeah. Something relative to that. I need to leave, excuse me." And he swept through the door way. Oh Jack what have you done?
"Yes mama I'm fine-no I wasn't at the bank I was at the restaurant. Everything is fine don't' worry. Yes I'll be there tomorrow morning to take everyone to the airport. YA lyublyu tebya. (I love you) Bye" I shut my phone off and slumped on my couch. This can't be happening. The glow from the fish tank gave the room an eerie blue glow. Are you really doing this Jack? I slumped over, elbows on knees, and ran my hands over my face. So this is your big plan huh? Kidnap the mayors daughter, hurt her-no make her blind, frame it on the mob, blow up the mob bank, frame it on batman, and watch as they all kill each other…its fucking evil. It's fucking genius, but fucking evil. And I'm the communist?
Bzzzz. Bzzzz.
I was torn from my thoughts as my phone vibrated; Unknown Number. "Hello?"
"So how's my favorite sugar plum eh? Taken time out of your busy scheduled to see the neeeeews lately?"
"More like heard it but yes, I know about the bank." My voice was void of any emotion.
"Humf. You don't sound so enthusiastic with my work. I'm offended doll, really I am."
"Cut the crap Jack, where is Kaylee?"
"Well currently she is residing in a loooovely cellar complete with leaky pipes and concrete floors. I'm sure there's a spider here and there. Only the best for the government."
"Fuck that! She's not the government! She's a little girl!"
"Tomato, tamato sweetie"
"Ugggh! Jack," I took a deep breath "Please…just let her go? She doesn't know who kidnapped her…just…leave her somewhere? I'm not asking for much but please Jack…please?" the other end of the line was silent for a while. "What if that was Dasia?"
"Don't fucking pull that shit with me right now Katerina."
"JUST LEAVE HER SOMEWHERE! I'm not asking you to take her to the hospital, wait by her side, and then tuck her into bed for fuck's sake! Just take her to a random street corner near city hall and someone will find her."
His tone was animalistic, "I fucking hate you." Thank god.
"Thank you Jack."
"Fuck you dearest." The line was dead. I put the phone down on the coffee table in front of me. Ha. Only is his world does "I fucking hate you." Means "I'll do it….but I fucking hate you for it." Ublyudok. (bastard)
I hugged my family one last time before they boarded the plane. "Tetya (aunt) Katerina I'll miss you so much." Dasia whipped her little nose while I held her in my arms.
"Ssssh vozlyublennyĭ (sweetheart). I'll see you before you know it! I promise I'll come visit you very soon." I kissed her little forehead before setting her down on the floor.
"Obeshchanie? (promise)"
"Obeshchanie."
"Ahh little Katerina you better keep that promise. People back home are starting to believe you were never real." Uncle Gavriil wrapped his loving arms around me and I squeezed back. "Maybe bring Jack again eh?" he whispered. Yeah fucking right.
I nervously laughed in response and quickly turned to give the boys a hug goodbye. I kissed each of their cheeks, "Oi! You two! Be good for your mother will you? I don't need her stressing out anymore. Now gimme a hug."
"YA lyublyu tebya tetya." (I love you aunt.)
"Me too auntie Kay!"
"Haha I love you too boys. Remember be good" I hugged them all once more and soon the boarded the plane. Looking out of the huge window I saw their plane quickly rise into the sky and moments later it was barely visible. What if I went with them? What if I went home? A single tear escaped and slowly descended down my cheek. It's too late.
"And it seems that the rain this evening will continue on through the rest of the week"
"Ugggh." I lowered the radio slightly, trying my best to drive through the horrible weather. The windshield wipers franticly pushed the rain aside, although it didn't help much. The ride home from the airport was horrible because of said weather and it only pushed my longing to go home.
"In other news, Kaylee Andrews was found thirty minutes ago two blocks away from City Hall," my eyes bulged out of my head as I turned up the radio. "She was found sobbing but they weren't tears. Blood was pouring from her eyes due to burning. There was a small circle with the letter M in the inside branded on her left arm. It has been confirmed that the brand mark matches the trade mark ring of Salvador Maroni."
I barely missed the stop sign in front of me forcing me to slam on my breaks. My back slammed against the seat of the car but I didn't dare move. So he did let her go…and all evidence points towards Maroni. Jesus-"JACK?"
My passenger door swung open and Jack-The Joker- slid into the seat. "Step on it toots. We-uh gotta go."
"What the fuck? How did you get here? Why are you here? What the hell-"
He glared at me causing my body to freeze in place, "I uh believe I told you to go." I quickly slammed on the gas. Fuck.
