Chapter 14

The truth about lies

I waited till the orderly came in. I took my time. I had planned the whole thing to perfection, breaking it down to last details.

I couldn't let it fail. So I stayed mum for a while. I kept quiet till the orderly was well into my room.

That's when I made my move.

I shifted noisily in my bed, which as expected made him turn towards me in great alarm. That's exactly what I wanted.

I gave him the creepiest grin I could muster, my eyes going deliberately blank.

When I spoke I even surprised myself. I couldn't recognize my own voice.

"We are going to get you"

The expression on his face was precious.

It was a cocktail of sheer fear Alarm bewilderment and confusion.

Now I get why the master of fear, that freak crane was so fond of scaring the beejeebars out of people.

Morons.

"What did you say?"

"When we get out this hellhole we are going to get you , and the city….."

"whose we?"

"I and the good doctor…. Didn't you know?"

"Scarecrow?"

He almost screamed, choking in his own words.

"Your precious bat-man cant save you from us" I drawled, getting a bit carried away at the thought of scaring the jackass standing in front of me.

"We are going to rip his heart out…..and send the pieces to the doctors here… then we will come after them…." I continued

"Then we will make some more poison …..no wait … we already have some hidden away ... Don't we doc?"

I grinned some more, sounding as insane as I pretended to be.

He just stood there unable to move.

I had to push him a little.

"You don't want that to happen to your city or your family now! Do you my dear orderly?" I asked my voice oddly even now, which I assumed scared him more.

"No" he screamed

"What do you want?"

Bingo

"We need you to let us go"

" I cannnnttttt" he stammered " I don't have the authority or keys ….."

" hmmmm then find someone who does… I have an idea … talk to the doctor.. tell him what we said… and ask him to get his ass in here as soon as possible if he wants to save his city form destruction… this time we wont fail…'

"Yes"

He fled.

I just hoped the doctor would get the bat-man in here with him trying to squeeze information out of me. That's the only way I could convince him to at least check into my background, and the fact I wasn't the good doctor.

I hoped to Lucifer my diabolical plan worked.
