Chapter 28
Jonathan
The tumbler busted in through the door of the barn in a flash. I had underestimated its strength just like I had under estimated its mileage.
We had reached elijjah in less than an hour despite heavy traffic and the attention the car got from the curious onlookers.
I knew we would find the house empty. There was only one place where he would take her.
I wasn't sure how I knew that, but I simply did.
I prayed to god in a very long time. I prayed that we weren't too late.
So when we busted through the door I was prepared to see something gross and scarring, something demonic but not what I saw then.
Leese was sitting on the floor, and beside her sat my brother, fully docile.
Leese was alive.
I jumped out of the car.
She looked scared. The noise and the car had been quite enough on top of a raging lunatic that was Jonathan crane.
Leese got up slowly and looked at me , a strained smile on her face. But she didn't come rushing at me like I expected. She looked unhappy.
Sad.
Of course she is sad you jackass…. She had been with a psychopath for over a day now.
But that didn't ring quite true. She kept looking at me and at Jonathan who was still sitting on the floor doing nothing. He didn't even stir when batman got out of the car and pulled up him up by the hairs of his hair.
An empty gagging sound escaped his mouth, but he didn't struggle.
He looked at the batman in great terror but somehow he looked he was at peace. His eyes looked as big as a flying saucer , then turned into tow blue orbs. A curious grin spread on his face as he said "the batman"
Then he looked at me for the first time.
I was dreading this moment. What do you say to an insane twin whom you haven't seen or heard from or remembered in 20 years?
" hello bro" he solved the problem for me.
" I am taking you back to arkham crane. Where you belong" the batman interjected
Jon merely giggled, his eyes darting from my face to lease then to the bat's .
The batman had had enough. He roughly slapped him across his face and cuffed his hands behind his back" you are worse than the joker" he said.
I just stood there petrified.
I couldn't do anything for my brother. I remained in place like a statue as the batman dragged his half starved body across the barn and into the tumbler.
In a few seconds they were gone.
Lisa hid her face in my face and I heard her cry.
I couldn't save my brother from the batman.
