Chapter 14
He stood in the makeshift office, trembling in fear. The girl had lived. He hadn't told his boss that he hadn't killed the girl that night, he had just hoped that she would die from her injuries and the boss would never have to know. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The girl had lived and she had been released from the hospital earlier that day. He knew that he was dead, there was no way the boss would let him live after this mess up.
He stood there in fear as the boss entered the room. "What's up Johnny?" He cackled, his green hair glinting in the dim lamp light.
"Boss.I-I am s-s-so s-s-sorry," he stuttered, "I thought she would die."
"You know Johnny my boy, I don't like excuses." He pulled a gun out of his breast pocket examining it as he spoke, "you know I gave you a second chance at freedom and look how you repay me." He pointed the gun at the man and pulled the trigger. Johnny closed his eyes, but opened them when nothing happened. He looked to the gun and almost fainted from relief. Out of the barrel of the gun, attached to a stick was a piece of cloth with the words BANG written on it. Johnny breathed a sigh of relief.
The Joker cackled hysterically. "You didn't think I would let you off that easy. No, good help is too hard to find these days. Besides, I have plans for you." He sat down at his desk propping his feet up on the table. "I still need you to finish the job you botched, but there will be time enough for that. We need to move into phase two."
"What phase is that sir?"
The Joker ignored his question, planning his next move out in his mind. "That bat brat may have escaped death once, but she won't get off as easy this time." He smiled, "You see Johnny, every group has their leader. You get rid of the leader and the group falls apart. You get rid of the redhead and the other two brats will fall into my clutches. And after she sees what I do to them, she'll wish I had killed her seven years ago. Yes, it's perfect. It all fits into my plan."
"What exactly is your plan, boss?"
His eyes darkened and his voice got deeper as he spoke. "Payback."
To be continued....
So that was the first part of my story. I'm not sure if this story will be two or three parts. I figured I have the whole summer off, so I have plenty of time to write a three part story, but I'm not sure where my story's going yet (I'm open for suggestions). By the way, the next part of this story will be titled "Living with Fear" so keep a look out for it. The first few chapters should be up in a couple of days. Until then...
