Chapter 5

That night, I started to feel the effects of not sleeping for two whole days. I tried to cover my yawn.

"You can sleep if you need to. Bedroom is back there." The Joker said as he reloaded his gun. I shook my head.

"No. Flag and the squad are still out there, either looking for a way to fuck up this genius plan of yours or looking for me. No time to sleep." I said as I yawned again.

"Suit yourself. Tomorrow will be a busy day. Execute plan then on a plane to New York City." He said as he shined his now loaded gun.

"So, I have been thinking." I said.

"Oh no. It's never good when females think." He said grinning.

"Fuck you clown. I am serious. Without Gotham, what are we? You basically run the crime lord families of this city and people run when they see me. That is power. Why would we want to give that up?" I asked. He pondered this and began to speak.

"Go on." He said.

"Why don't we transport the bombs to the specific places that need to be taken out? Like City Hall, Wayne Enterprises...?" I said. His face lit up.

"We could release all the inmates from Arkham. We could blow up the entrance building. It will give them a way out plus take out the guards. I like where this is going doll!" He said as he laughed.

"They will wreak havoc on the city. Then we will really have the power in this city. The thugs of Gotham respect you. I know for a fact their loyalty will lie with you if you let them out of Arkham and the Gotham prison." I said. He jumped up and dialed his phone.

"Johnny, meet me in my office in five." He said. I could hear Johnny Frost say "Yeah boss." on the other end. The Joker told me to stay put while he put his crew on the transport. I sat in the club and looked around. It was a nice looking club. It would be a shame for it to get blown up. From what Harley had told me about The Joker, I was shocked he took my suggestion seriously. He is a wild card for sure, so it didn't surprise me that blowing the city up from the core was his idea. My plan just damaged specific parts of Gotham which sounded a bit more rational.

I looked around the club and finally got bored. I walked through the gold door in the back to go find The Joker. I heard him talking to Johnny and I decided to listen. If he saw me listening on his conversation he would probably chop off my ear but I wasn't scared of him. I heard them arguing.

"But boss, you said the whole point of this mission was to get Harley and get the hell outta Gotham. Suddenly this broad shows up and the whole plan gets thrown out?!" Johnny said boldly. I then heard glass breaking and Johnny grunt loudly. I looked through the door and saw The Joker have Johnny by the throat.

"Call her that again and you lose a limb. Got it?" The Joker said gritting his teeth. Johnny nodded and The Joker released him into the shards of glass on the ground.

"Yeah sorry boss. I meant...no disrespect." Johnny coughed out.

"Yeah yeah. You saw Harley. She is on their team now. I have no use for her. She has been brainwashed by those turned Uncle Tom's. The way she looks at that Dead-shit guy...She is just a liability that I cannot afford anymore. Time to give up on her and focus on the person who is strong enough to handle me. She will be a good asset to what we are trying to do. Just trust me on this Frost." The Joker said.

"Of course Boss. You know best." Johnny said. "Okay so I will get the crew on it. Four targeted buildings tomorrow night at midnight." Johnny said and The Joker nodded.

"You know the Batman will be an issue along with the new Squad that Waller started." Johnny said.

"I'm aware. I am not worried about either of them. You focus on the bombs. My new lady and myself will focus on the Super Team. Go." The Joker said waving Johnny away. I stood back and leaned against the wall casually. The Joker emerged and smiled a devilish grin.

"Come on doll. We have work to do." He said as he grabbed my hand.

"Who do you want to kill first?" He said as he led me to the car.

"I get to pick?" I asked, smiling.

"Well it was your idea wasn't it?" He said as he grinned. He opened the driver's side for me and motioned for me to get in.

"I get to drive this thing?" I asked happily.

"Just don't scratch it too bad." He said as he got into the passenger side.

"Hold on." I said as I winked at him. He laughed his signature laugh as I tore of the parking garage.

"Where we heading?" The Joker asked as I sped off into the city.

"Batman." I said.

"Huh? And how do you expect to find him?" He asked.

"Simple, we use bait." I said as I halted to a screeching stop. I opened the door and looked at him. "You coming?" I asked as I got out. He quickly got out and followed me to the back of the huge theater building. I looked around and pulled the door knob off with ease. I looked at him and motioned for him to follow me. He raised his eyebrows and obeyed.

We heard the crowd cheering loudly and saw the crew running around the backstage area.

"Wait here. Be ready to move when I come out." I said. He nodded once and I disappeared into one of the dressing rooms. I quietly snuck behind the Prima Ballerina who was powdering her nose. I took out my knife and held it to her throat. She tried screaming but I put my hand over her mouth.

"You want to live, you better shut up. Do as I say and I will let you go, okay?" I said. She nodded.

"Okay, I will take my hand off of your mouth but if you scream or make a sound I slice your throat like butter. Got it?" I said. She sobbed and nodded. I removed my hand and she remained quiet.

"Good girl. Come with me." I said as I kept the knife to her throat. I guided her to the back where The Joker was waiting. He smiled a devilish grin and opened the back door. He opened the trunk and I shoved the Ballerina inside. I shut the trunk and turned to him to say something. Before I could say one word, his mouth was on mine. He grabbed onto my long black hair and rustled it into his grip. He bit down on my lower lip and while all this going on, I can here the dancer in the trunk screaming. It just made us smile wider into our kiss. He pulled away roughly and looked at me like I was his prey.

"Where have you been?" He growled, not letting go of my hair.

"Right here. Waiting for you." I said back. He laughed and kissed me again. Even harder than the first time. Our tongues danced against each other and we bit and pulled as the pretty ballerina begged for us to let her go. It was bliss.
