Brucie Boy part 37
Joker stood up from his chair next to his sewing machine and stretched, holding up his finished work. He'd attempted to get the measurements JUST right and he was happy with it. He smiled broadly and looked at a clock on the wall behind him. He'd been working for about 6 hours! It was well past midnight now…
"If this doesn't fit Zai I'll just have to make her fit…" He half laughed half mumbled.
He set his work down on the table once more and sat down in his tattered arm chair, flipping the TV on as he did so.
The news was on, as usual. A bunch of stupid reporters were fussing over some stupid story…
He was about to change the channel to something funnier like Tom and Jerry or A Thousand Ways to Die when a reporter with long black hair came into view in front of Arkham Asylum.
Joker smiled and turned up the volume a little.
"Maybe Zai has escaped already…" he mumbled excitedly.
"Tragedy here at Arkham Asylum today where patient Sadie Curio was killed during an escape attempt by Adrian Davis, an orderly at the asylum. She was attempting the leave the facility with a fellow patient when she met Miss. Davis. The woman attempted to stop her from leaving and was apparently injured in the process and has been treated in the Arkham Medical facility…"
Joker thought on this a moment. He knew ALL the whack jobs at Arkham and Sadie Curio wasn't one of them… unless…
Suddenly a picture came up on the screen of the patient. A girl with dark green eyes starred back at him from the television set, her crooked, snaggletooth smile seemingly mocking him.
He scowled at the screen. Another picture rose next to Curiosity's.
"The other escaped patient, shown here, Zai last name unknown, has evaded capture and is considered highly dangerous both to herself and to others. If seen please contact the Gotham City Police Department…"
Joker had had enough. He picked up one of his prop hammers from behind his chair and hurled in down onto the TV. Glass crunched under its weight and fell to the floor in jagged pieces.
She was HIS to kill! Not some stupid flunky's!"
"Fine if I can't kill HER… I'll kill the flunky that did…" he stated darkly.
He looked at the smashed remains of his television set.
"I'll bet Penguin never has to deal with any of this lady drama… but then again… Penguin has never had any ladies to begin with!" He laughed hysterically at his own joke and then suddenly stopped.
Penguin had destroyed his drawings! He scowled like a child who hadn't gotten his way.
Maybe Penguin NEEDED some lady drama… he thought as he looked over at Zai's dress laying on the table, it's spiraling colors enticing him with thoughts of Zai killing Penguin in her purple dress .
He shook his head and looked at a calendar that hung below the clock. A picture of Batman was drawn above the dates and several darts stuck out from its forehead. He had drawn a huge red smiley face over December 25th. Christmas happened to be three days away. He looked at the picture of Batman.
"Well Brucie boy do I have a present for you… We'll get the whole FAMILY together! We'll even have a bird on the table…" he laughed ominously.
"Maybe I'll even invite that funky… Adrian…" he said darkly, looking over at the place where his television used to be.
He glanced up at the clock again. He'd better get going soon. He had to get ready for the party!
