Chapter 18

I walked into the law office of Hank Flanagan and was greeted by a skinny blonde receptionist. If greeted is what you would call it.

"Can I help you?" She said as she looked up from her computer.

"Yes as a matter of fact. I'm here to see Flanagan." I said looking around. She rolled her eyes.

"Do you have an appointment?" She asked.

"I should. Under 'Let me in to see him or I will blow your brains out' at 10pm." I said. I was already pissed because J didn't meet me here like he was supposed to. She scoffed and buzzed for Flanagan. He emerged from his office with a bit of sandwich on his face.

"Ah, Ms. Cee I presume?" He asked. I nodded and he extended his hand which I did not accept. Oh God, I was turning into The Joker.

"Can we get this shit over with?" I said.

"Of course. Please." He said as he motioned for me to head into the conference room. I walked in and sat on one side of the table. He sat across from me.

"I wanted to say how sorry I am about your Dad. He was a good friend of mine." Hank said.

"Yeah yeah. I am aware ninety percent lawyers in Gotham are dirty. Let's get this going." I said. He shook his head and opened his file.

"Now I want to start with…" Hank said before he was cut off by his receptionist screaming and running into the conference room.

"Um Mr. Flanagan, um The The The Joker is here and he dropped a dead rat on my desk." She shivered.

"Oh that just means he likes you." I said sarcastically. J kicked the door open and the receptionist jumped back.

"Oh come on, it was just a little present." He said smiling. "There she is." He said as he turned his attention towards me. He spun my chair around so I was facing him.

"You're late." I pouted.

"I'm sorry Princess. Traffic was a horror!" He grinned and looked at the terrified receptionist and her taken back boss. The receptionist ran out and shut the door. J planted a huge kiss on me and we both got really into it. A little too into it. Flanagan clearly got uncomfortable because he cleared his throat in the most annoying way possible. I rolled my eyes and J growled.

"To be continued." He whispered in my ear before licking the side of my face.

"Alright law man, what did this pretty little ladies Daddy leave her?" J said bluntly.

"Christ J." I said. He chuckled.

"Ah i'm just kidding. Continue." he said gesturing.

"Well Ms. Cee, we will start with your father's estate. He leaves you in the amount of 40.2 million dollars in addition to his penthouse building in Downtown Gotham City as well as his three other properties. Would you like those to be liquidated?" He asked. I nodded. He wrote something down and I looked at J who had money signs gleaming in his eyes. I rolled my eyes and turned my chair back and forth.

"As for your father's company, assets and vehicles those are yours. I do not have the authority to liquidate those but I can forward the case to someone who can." He said.

"Yeah whatever." I said.

"Alright then, that was easy. You'll be receiving a check by expedited mail. It must be signed for. And then I just need you to sign all of this." He said as he passed me a stack of papers. I started signing everything as J slouched in his chair.

"He also had this for you. He dropped it off about a month ago." Flanagan said as he handed me a sealed envelope.

"Alright, we done?" I asked. He nodded.

"Thanks for all of your help Hankers." J said as he punched Hank on the shoulder. We walked out of the Law Office and into the building elevator. J started laughing uncontrollably.

"What is so funny?" I asked.

"I gotta hand it to your Dad. He was loaded." J said.

"Uh huh. What's the status of Kane? Have we found him?" I asked, trying to change the subject. If The Joker thought he'd have control of my Dad's money, he had another thing coming.

"Don't worry so much doll. J's got it covered." He said grinning and putting his arm around my waist.

"He took away the one thing that made me somewhat special. I want his head on a spike." I said looking at my now fireless fingers. J roughly gripped my chin and pulled it so I was looking at him.

"Uh uh. None of that. You forgot about that killer strength you seem to have." J said smiling.

"I guess." I said as we exited the elevator. J opened the SUV door for me and slapped my ass as I got in. We got to our headquarters and I got a call on my phone. I answered the unknown number.

"Yeah." I said impatiently.

"Hello gorgeous. Healing okay?" Kane asked on the other end. The rage inside of me immediately started to boil. J looked at me in a concerned way.

"I will find you Kane. I will find you and I will rip your guts out and feed them to you." I said in a threatening tone.

"Oooh I am so scared of a one hundred and thirty pound girl. Put your other half on the phone. We still have a score to settle with him." I shook my head and handed J the phone.

"Talk to me." J said sarcastically. I couldn't hear what Kane was saying.

"Just name the time and place my friend." J exclaimed. "Understood." J said as he hung up my phone.

"What?" I asked in anticipation. J hesitated and growled under his breath.

"Just gonna finally take care of the Leeg scum that lurks around my turf too much." He said still not looking at me. Frost turned around and looked at J. J nodded and Frost nodded back. Their unspoken bromance got annoying sometimes.

"When?" I asked.

"Tonight." He said quickly.

"I'm going." I said as I looked at him sternly. He laughed a high pitched laugh.

"I don't think so darling'. Leave this to the professionals huh?" He said in a condescending voice. I blinked in anger.

"Fuck you J. I'm going. That scum murdered my father. I think it should be me that ends him." I argued.

"I said no. So to ensure this, you're on lockdown tonight." He said. I scoffed. Yeah right.

"Yeah okay." I said rolling my eyes. He obviously underestimated me.
