Rant: I finally gots a new chapter! Wow! Keep reading and reveiwing peoples.
Chapter 7
"Why exactly are you guys kidnapping me?" Linda said as Terry drove through Gotham, unsure where exactly he was supposed to go.
"We're not kidnapping you." Terry responded irritably. "I just don't think we should leave you until we know who those guys are who were after you and know that you can keep your mouth shut."
Linda sat scowling at him with her arms folded across her chest. "I already said I wasn't going to tell..." She hissed under her breath.
Terry had no response to this so he merely continued driving. He silently wished that his cel phone would ring to tell him that Bruce was awake so he could ask him again how they were going to deal with Linda. He wanted to be independant and not have to go running to him but he honestly needed guidance. Suddenly an idea struck him and he thanked God that at least one other person knew his secret. Turning the car, he made his way toward Max's apartment building.
"This isn't the way back to Wayne's..."
"My, you are a sharp one." Terry said sarcastically. "No offense Linda, but I have the right to be a bit tense." He said after a moment.
"You're practically kidnapping me, there are men who want me dead, or pretty near to it and you are the one who has the right to be tense?" Linda retorted, letting her own high strung emotions be released in blunt anger and frusteration.
Terry shot her a warning glare. Even if they didn't know his alter ego they did want him, Batman dead. He also knew how much they'd love to know who his family was and where they lived. Some of them may be brooding on how much they want both Batman and his family dead every waking moment of their lives. Looking back to the road, Terry felt a small amount of feral pride in the fact that he'd apparently won this little debate.
"Damn, wipe that stupid smirk off your face. A man who wears tights nightly isn't really that intimidating."
Again Terry turned to her, this time intending to speak his mind rather then attempt to silence her with a mere look.
Max looked up from her book and to the door at the sound of the door knocking. Setting down her copy of "Hamlet" she left the book, somewhat glad to leave the depressing tale even if she was only going to answer the door and may only find behind it Mr. Uden, a man prone to knocking on people doors and complaining to them about things that weren't even relevant to the poor soul he visited.
Pulling the door open, Max just stared at Terry. He looked utterly furious and behind him was a teenage girl who was giving off the same unpleasent aura as Terry. Stepping aside Max blinked as they both stalked into the apartment.
"Um... Ter, I know you enjoy having a little spare cash but did you have to take up babysitting?" The girl immediatly rounded on Max, giving her one of the coldest looks Max had seen. Terry on the other hand grinned, clearly pleased that Max chose those exact words.
"Linda, go in there." Terry said, pointing towards the kitchen. Again the dark look crossed Linda's face before she stormed into the kitchen. "Max, I need your help." Terry said, assuming a pleading look on his face.
"Well, if its worth taking time away from me working on my Englsih report, talk." Max said coolly.
Terry smiled a bit before he began. "She knows about me, Max. She found the cave." He lowered his voice slightly before continueing to relate to Max about Wayne's heart attack, Linda's firm belief that she was being kidnapped, and that there were men who wanted something from her but she wouldn't say exactly what. "And then I told the nurse that she worked for Mr. Wayne-"
"You WHAT?" Max bellowed in shock.
"Yeah, you what?!"
Max and Terry turned to Linda who was staring in horror at Terry.
"Eaves dropping?" Max asked.
"I am not dropping any eaves and whats this about telling her I work for him?" Linda said with wide eyes that were fixed on Terry.
"It's not a big deal. It was just a story to get the nurse off my back." Terry said lightly.
"What?! That lady has a big mouth! Mr. Wayne is scary enough but this will probobly have him mad specifically at me!" Linda shouted, distraught.
Max smiled a little. "Don't worry. It's Terry's fault and he's mad at everyone all the time."
Linda just shook her head, a disgusted, horrified and confused look on her face. "I am gonna die..." She moaned.
"We're gonna die." Terry corrected in an equally displeased voice.
