They arrived at the cabin and the Joker was pleased with its location, it was located behind a hill and there was no road to it. You couldn't see it from any road and there were no other buildings nearby. Unless you for some reason knew the cabin was there you wouldn't find it. The Joker got out of the van and opened the door on her side with a grin.

"We'll stay here tonight." he said and lifted her out of the seat. The henchmen got out of the van and they all went up to the cabin with curious faces. In the moonlight it looked like a very suitable home for ghosts, it would blend in perfectly in an old secluded cemetery.

"You have stayed here, alone?" Antonio asked her in disbelief as he walked towards the cabin with hesitant steps.

"Yeah, many times."

"In the night?"

"Of course." she said and the Joker looked at Antonio.

"Scared of the dark, are ya?"

"No, but this place looks really creepy."

"Should suit you perfectly then." The Joker said, Lilie laughed hard and Antonio gave her the finger when she didn't see him.

"The door is unlocked." Lilie said and Evan walked up to it and opened it with a lot of force, it was a wooden door that swelled when the air was humid.

He fumbled for the light switch in the dark. When he found it they all went in and looked around. It was a big room with a low ceiling that was both a kitchen and a living room. Nearly everything in there seemed to be made out of wood, with an exception of the sofas, the tv and the stove.

The Joker put Lilie down on her feet and left to check out the other rooms, in the meantime Lilie tried to hop over to the couches with her bound feet. Antonio laughed at her.

"Nice. You look absolutely retarded." he said mockingly, she ignored him and kept hopping. Everytime she landed she almost lost her balance. The Joker was about to walk into the living room but stopped in the door frame as he saw Lilie, he lifted an eyebrow and studied her with an amused expression. She stopped hopping and looked at him.

"Could you please untie my feet?" she exclaimed with frustration and he chuckled.

"Why? You're, uh, doing great." He said and smirked. She cursed and started hopping again, after one particularly big jump she fell forward into the back of the couch and tumbled down to the floor. Antonio laughed, but not nearly as loud as the Joker. Lilie cursed again and banged the back of her head against the floor, she could feel her cheeks get warm from humiliation. The Joker walked up to her and looked down on her with a big smile.

"What?" she snapped and he snorted with amusement, he crouched down and repeatedly slapped her cheeks lightly with his gloved hands.

"Silly girl." he mumbled and grinned as he saw her try to avoid his slaps with an annoyed expression in her face.

"Stop it!" she yelled and he giggled, he stopped slapping her and grabbed her jaw to hold her head still instead.

"So grumpy!"

"Untie me!"

"No, no I don't think so." he said, he picked her up and carelessly threw her down on the couch. She sent him a deadly glare and adjusted herself to a sitting position. Evan, Bob and Antonio sat down on the other couch and the Joker sat down next to her.

"What now, boss?" Bob asked and the Joker tiredly looked at him.

"We need weapons. And money." he said and leaned his head on the back of the sofa.

"Where do we get it?" Evan asked and the Joker answered by staring at the ceiling with a dead expression.

"How did Gambol find out about our location?" Antonio asked and the Joker looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"That's a good question, Antonio, why don't you tell me? Hmm?" he asked with suppressed anger and Antonio looked surprised.

"Me? What did I do?"

"You told me Kane shot the driver, did you not?"

"He did! I heard it! And he told me he did."

"Aah how strange-ah! Because Rob told me the man was still alive! It's funny isn't it, there is nothing i can trust you idiots to do properly." he snapped and stared at them with disgust.

"Sorry boss, but that was Kane's fault."

"You're all just as use-less." He said emphatically through his teeth and Lilie could feel his rage the way you feel the heat from an open fire when you sit next to it.

"Boss, I'm very loyal.. " Bob said, sounding and looking like a hurt, overgrown 6-year old but the Joker cut him off.

"Be quiet." he growled and Bob obeyed. After a couple of uncomfortable minutes in silence Evan dared to speak.

"We could rob a gas station or something around here, and then go and buy some weapons." he said but the Joker shook his head.

"No, we cannot do anything like that right now. Falcone has eyes and ears everywhere."

"Why does Gambol want us so badly now?" Antonio asked, the Joker licked his lips and looked meaningly at Lilie. She looked around at their curious faces with an innocent expression.

"What?"

"Because of her?" Antonio asked in disbelief.

"Mhm."

"Why?"

"I haven't figured that out yet." The Joker mumbled, mostly to himself.

"Who are you?" Antonio asked and stared intensely at her.

"Go and fuck yourself, Antonio." She snapped and the Joker snorted with laughter, Antonio's face got distorted in anger.

"Shut up! What is wrong with you? Don't you know what we are going to do to you if you don't talk? Boss, who is she?" Antonio said, agitated. The Joker shrugged.

"I don't know. But you know just as well as me that Gambol paid a fortune to get her."

"Yeah.. he did. It's very weird. Hey, boss! Doesn't that solve our problems? Sell her back to Gambol, we get money and they will leave us alone!" Antonio said excitedly and the Joker looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"Really, you thought of that brilliant idea just now? I hadn't thought of that!" he exclaimed sarcastically.

"..Well what are you waiting for then?" Antonio mumbled without meeting the Joker's gaze.

"Yeeaaah.. it's weird isn't it? How she, as a tied up victim, is more useful than any of you." He said with acidity. "We finally get our hands on something that truly can give us some leverage, and you immediately want to trade it for money?" He continued and Lilie gave him an angry look.

"It?" She snapped and he looked at her with an innocent smile.

"Hmm?"

"Whatever." She muttered and demonstrably looked away from him. He giggled and leaned in to her.

"Oooh so grumpy!" He said joyously and stared at her, she refused to look at him so he reached for her nose and pinched it hard.

"No! Let go!" She said, sounding ridiculous and nasal, and tried to squirm out of his grip. He laughed at the way she sounded and let go of her nose. He kept staring at her with a grin and she finally turned to him, looking very peeved. He giggled and squished her cheeks with his right hand, making her lips pout, and gave her a quick peck.

"Ugh!" She snapped annoyedly and pulled away from his grip, he let her go but didn't stop looking at her until Antonio spoke.

"Boss.. I'm just going to tell you as a friend, you really need to get this whore out of your system. I mean, I get it, she is really fucking hot. The things I would do.." he said and gave a low whistle before he continued, she looked at him with disgust. "You need to fuck her and get it over with, I promise that will help. Once she's out of your system we can sell her back to Gambol and get back to business. Just go into the bedroom, take the whole night, do whatever you need to do to be done with her. But please, leave some for me and the boys." Antonio said and smiled unpleasantly at her. The Joker quietly stared at him and his smile faded when he saw the look on the Joker's face. Bob fidgeted and kept moving his eyes from the Joker to Antonio.

"..Every time.. I hear you speak, I want to remove your head from your body." The Joker growled and got up from the sofa, with surprising swiftness and strength he leapt forward and grabbed Antonio's hair with both of his hands. Antonio whimpered in pain and tried to loosen the Jokers grip as he was being dragged to the floor.

The Joker threw him down with angry movements and yelled at Bob to hold Antonio's feet. Bob obeyed and held him down while the Joker got down on his knees, he put one knee down on the floor and the other knee on Antonio's throat. Antonio made a gargling sound and panicked, he started flailing his arms and his face got red. The Joker stared down at him with a murderous glare and put more weight on his knee. Just as Antonio started twitching feverishly and seemed close to passing out the Joker lifted his knee. Antonio gasped for air and he coughed and yammered. The Joker grabbed a hold of his face with one hand and threw a hard punch at his nose with the other, the nose broke and he began to bleed profusely. He screamed in pain and the Joker showed his teeth.

"Quiet!" He growled and Antonio got as quiet as he was able to between his whimpering and sobbing.

"What makes you think i am interested in hearing your idiotic thoughts, hmm? What makes you think i want to hear you talk at all?" The Joker spewed with a poisonous voice, and leaned close to Antonio's face.

"We are not friends, Antonio. Don't ever think that. If I say we are going to keep her, we are. To me you are nothing but a worthless piece of garbage, an insect, and you have very much to prove to me before you are allowed to utter your brainless thoughts in my presence." He hissed, with hatred dripping through every word. Antonio nodded vigorously. The Joker leaned in closer to his face, looking like a wolf about to devour its prey.

"And what makes you think.. that you can touch what is mine, hmm? Yeah, I saw you." he snarled, his voice so dark they could all feel it vibrate under their skin. Antonio shook his head.

"N-no, no I didn't! I-i wanted to, but I never did.." he lied and the Joker stood up. He aimed many kicks at Antonio's mouth and wasn't satisfied until he felt and heard something break, it was hard to tell if it was his teeth or his jaw. Maybe both. He didn't care, the feeling of crushing some part of Antonio under his foot gave him enough satisfaction to relax for now. Antonio became still and quiet, apart from his heavy breathing. The Joker licked his lips and agitatedly fixed his hair several times before he got back to his seat on the sofa next to Lilie and sat down. One of his shoes left bloody footprints on the wooden floor. Bob slowly backed away from Antonio and they all stared at him quietly, blood kept seeping out of his nose and mouth in a steady stream. Lilie sighed happily and looked at the Joker.

"Beautiful." she said with admiration, he gave her a confused smile and then he grabbed her jaw to ensure she was still as he kissed her on the cheek.

"I couldn't let him get away with that, love."
