Chapter Twelve- Chelsea Grin
Chelsea had been to school yesterday, it was time to place the explosives.
"Chelsea! Wake up!" Someone was shouting from downstairs "You're gonna miss school" she lifted her head out of her pillow, and grabbed her alarm clock, it was 6:30, "Crap" she hissed to herself as she threw down the clock, Chelsea jumped out of bed and rushed to get changed into her costume… Today's the day… She smiled as she picked up the blue messenger bag J had left for her, it was heavy, but she figured it'd get lighter once she'd carried it around for a while.
"Good Morning Chels" J smiled at her from the doorway of her bedroom.
"Mornin'" she was putting on makeup in the mirror, "Today's The Day" she giggled as she flicked on some mascara.
"Yup" J was drumming his fingers on the wooden doorframe, "You've got 2 Hours until I press the detonator"
"That's it? I don't think I'll have enough time…" J walked up to her and held her face in his hands.
"You'll be fine… don't put yourself down" he smiled at her and she smiled back, he released his grip and left the room, "5 Minutes then you gotta go"
Chelsea finished applying her makeup and went downstairs; Joe and Alex were waiting to take her to school in the car.
"What about the van?" Chelsea tilted her head.
"We need something subtle, we're picking you up in the van" They stood up, ready to go. The school wasn't far away from the warehouse, but it was much quicker to get there by car, she watched out the window as they pulled up to the school, her second and final day at Gotham City High School was beginning.
Chelsea climbed over the school gates and into reception, she was an hour early and had bags of time, she'd stole the keycard from behind the reception desk and opened the classroom doors, Chelsea hid a bomb in each of the rooms, in cupboards, under desks, inside the roof panels, or in a drawer somewhere, she'd went through all of the rooms except one, her tutor room, she opened the door to her classroom and took a seat at the front, J's bag was nearly empty, all it carried was her top-hat, her bright orange custom handgun, her protective mask and a bottle of smilex.
Chelsea spied out of the window to find that school had started, the students were walking through the gates, she checked her watch, half an hour to go…
The door creaked open and the classroom filled with students, they were chatting to eachother in groups as the teacher walked in…
"Okay Kids, we've got a maths test next week, so we'll be revising algebra… take out you're pens please" the teacher was a blonde man, he was tall, and was wearing a white shirt and purple tie. J Would love that tie. Chelsea laughed to herself, as he got one of the students to hand out textbooks, "Turn to page 143 and answer questions 5, 6, 9, and 12"
Chelsea worked from the book and got up to question 6, she pulled up her sleeve and checked her watch… she had one minute to go, she sunk into her chair and held her hands over her ears…
She shook as the ground below her moved, then silence… Chelsea took her hands away and hurled the bag onto the desk, she slowly unbuttoned her coat, all around her was chaos, her classmates were in shock. She unzipped the bag and placed her top-hat on her head, picked her handgun up and took a shot at the window, it smashed, and she stood up, strutted over to the shattered glass and stepped onto the windowsill… the occupants of the classroom were staring in disbelief…
"Well my friends… I bid you, farewell" Chelsea winked and stepped backwards out of the window, and ran, forced herself to scale high fence, She saw the van, J had the doors open ready for her, but she ran straight past him… as fast as her legs could take her, she couldn't think, she wanted out.
"Chelsea?!?" he leaned out of the van to watch her run… "What is she doing?!?" he growled, "Start the van, Catch up to her" the van pulled away from the school and chased Chelsea across the street, J took off his coat and pulled up his sleeves, he opened the back doors of the moving van and jumped out, she'd turned a corner into an ally, there was no room for a van, He sprinted after her, he was faster than Chelsea, and got near her fairly quickly, J wrapped his arms around her and held her still, Chelsea was kicking her legs and clawing at his arms as he carried her back to the van. He sat her down as the van was starting to move, "What's wrong with you?" he snapped, wiping the blood away from the fresh scratch marks on his arms.
"I…I… I messed up" she mumbled.
"How?" he growled.
"I didn't put a bomb in my classroom, they're still alive" she sobbed, J sighed and put his arm around her, Chelsea cried into his shoulder.
"Jake, go back to the school, no witnesses" he ran his fingers through Chelsea's hair, "its okay, Chels', were gonna go fix this…" hearing the sound of his voice comforted her… as long as she was with J, she was safe.
They pulled back up to the destroyed building and entered through the window Chelsea had smashed… most of the kids were crouched under desks, rocking back and forth or crying…
"Good Morning" J laughed. It was a small class, the henchmen took the students into the assembly hall of the school while the Joker killed the teacher, Chelsea's arm linked J's as they walked to the hall, she was shaking. "Hey, calm down, it's fixed" J comforted her, as she leaned on him and entered the almost empty hall. The Joker released his arm and walked onto the stage, Chelsea followed him.
"I'm guessing you're wondering why you're here, hmm?" his voice echoed the room… "You're all here because we can't leave any witnesses… but I'm gonna keep you guys busy while my Princess of Suffocation here…" He pointed to Chelsea, she blushed. "Goes looking for more survivors…" Chelsea knew what he wanted; she left the room and walked the corridors, searching for any living person, she popped her head in the first door on the left…
"Hello?" no answer… empty… next room, the same silence, and the next, and the next…
She came to the end of the corridor, the fire exit doors were still intact, she swung them open and laughed wildly…
"Sounds like she's having fun" he chuckled, her insane, wild laughs echoed the whole destroyed school…
Chelsea skipped up the broken staircase and danced along the science corridor, no survivors, she passed an open door, and was dragged in, a hand clamped over her mouth as she was took back down the stairs and out of the school, she was kicking her legs, trying to free herself from the mans strong grip, she was thrown into the boot of a car, and hit over the head with a bat, Chelsea was out cold… being driven away from J.
"It's been a while, Where's Chelsea?" J whispered to Alex, Alex was out of breath, he'd ran back to his boss
"She's gone, Boss, there was a phone number written on the walls, I wrote it down… here" Alex passed the Joker a piece of paper with a bunch of numbers written on it, and a cell phone.
"Thanks Al" J put the items in his coat pocket and picked up a machine gun, he shot the hostages dead, and took the cell and paper back out of his pocket…
"Hello?" J could hear Chelsea's screams in the background.
"Where's the girl, hmm?"
"Oh… it's you"
"Where's the kid, Maroni?" J snapped
"She's safe" He laughed "We were just about to make you're Little Chelsea, Grin"
"Bad pun, you're not all that funny ya know…"
"You care about this kid, huh?"
"Nope, do it, carve her face, video it and send me the recording, should be fun to watch…" J laughed down the phone.
"J! I Can't Believe You Just Saaaid That! I HATE YOU!" Chelsea screamed.
"Smooth Move, Clown," Maroni laughed down the phone, "Who she gonna trust now?"
"Good luck with trying to get her to shut up" J chuckled.
"I think a baseball bat should do the trick…" the Joker heard a clack and the screaming stopped.
"So, where is she?"
"We'll tell you where she is, just be patient…" the phone hung up and J punched the wall in anger.
"Goddamnit!" he shouted as he gestured the henchmen to get back to the van.
The ride home was long and almost unbearable; J sat in his armchair and sulked.
"Where's Chelsea? Boss?" Joe asked, he was one of the henchmen closest to her, one of her best friends.
J let out a frustrated sigh and ignored the question, Joe realised what he meant and left him alone, The Joker fell asleep on the armchair, his last thoughts were of Chelsea…
Whooaaaa! :] Like it? I wrote it in…. about 5 hours of non stop writing (my hands are gonna drop off)
