Chapter Five

"Let me go!" Tamara screamed at the top of her lungs as she tried to wiggle free of the two goons that had a hold of her arms. They put her in a chair and tied her hands and feet to it.

"What do you want with me?" She screamed. The men had blind folded her so she didn't know where she was. All she knew was that she had been taken against her will.

"I'll only ask one more time. What do you want…"

"Pipe down sweetheart." Came a voice from the shadows and then a man who looked like a meesed up clowd stepped into the light. "I heard you the first time. To answer your question, you're the bait that I'm using to attract a Bat that needs to die!"

"What makes you think that he'll come and save me?"

"I have my sources." The clown said as he pointed to the shadows. Then a young familiar man appered.

"Tom!" Tamara said shocked to see her boyfriend standing in front of her. "You told this….this…clown?"

"Um... Joker actually." The Joker corrected.

"How could you? I trusted you with that information!"

"Sorry, I have to make a living some how and this guy pays a lot."

"I should have listened to Dick. He'll be happy to know that he was right again. Then a thought accered to Tamara.

"What will you do to me once Batman gets here?" Tom pulled out a gun cocked it and pointed it at Tamara's head.

"Whatever we damn well please!"
"Take her to the pit!" Joker said with an evil girn. Tom backed off and two goons untied her and carried her away.

"My Father with save me!" Tamara shouted as she was being taken away. Joker rubbed his hands together and smiled an even bigger evil smile.

"Oh I'm counting on it Princess. I'm counting on it!"

In the Batmoblie:

"Batman we should have found her by now!"

"Not necessarily, Nightwing." Batman said driving the Batmobile down the dark streets of Gothem city.

"What do you mean not necessarily? It's almost nine o'clock and Joker took her at five o'clock. She could be dead by now!" As soon as Nightwing said that he wished he could call his words back into his mouth but it was too late.

"I'm well aware of the stacks, Nightwing!"

"I know Batman. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to come out like it did."

"I know you didn't mean it Nightwing."

Beep, Beep

"What's that?"

"She's here." Batman said stopping the Batmobile and pointing to an old warehouse. "Why do the bad guys always pick warehouses?" "Because their dark and scary."

"Know but that doesn't say much for the bad guys."

"I was talking about the bad guys." Batman said as the two heroes jumped out of the mobile and headed to save Tamara.
