(? POV)

The nap wasn't happening, even as I laid down, closed my eyes and tried to relax, my mind was back again to the dream and I was wide awake. Frustrated, annoyed, confused and wondering all together and wishing I could just be rid of this feeling and the cause, but knew I couldn't at least yet. What the fuck was wrong with me? No one ever got to me like this before and yet ever since that damn run-in at the club I couldn't sleep and it was starting to really, really piss me off.

"Ugg this is getting me nowhere and yet it all suddenly came about…" I suddenly realized at least a part of when this all happened and it was because of Joker.

A scream left my lips as my hand wrapped around a vase and sent it flying across the air of my bedroom to smash into the wall and crumble in pieces on the floor. How could I have been blind not to see this connection, of course, that fucking clown caused this, probably has his drinks spiked for all those that enter the club.

"Mistress? Mistress is everything alright?"

Michael's voice suddenly broke me from my angry musing and I sighed in frustration but knew he'd heard the scream and crash so I couldn't really fault him for checking on me. Pursing my lips I brushed my hair behind my ears as I glanced to the mess, "I'm fine Michael." Pausing a moment I decided to take my mind at least for now off this and focus on something I hope would help ease some of my emotions.

"How is my latest recruit doing?" Hmm, I didn't even know his name, I was going to have to remedy that as well as just what I was going to have him do for me. Michael was after all my most trusted, but perhaps with time this new one would join him, never can have too many trusted pets. That thought had me slowly feeling a smile working over my lips and I just shook my head, yes Michael was one of my loyalists, but he was still a pet.

"He learns quickly Mistress and is eager to please you any way he might be allowed. I think you will be pleased." His words only increased that smile already appearing and I couldn't help feeling a little better remembering my earlier thoughts on this subject, "Michael did he happen to tell you his name or anything of importance I need to know?" After all, I was interrupted at the club before I could truly learn myself anything about this man besides he was just too easy to sway.

Walking over I open the door to my room looking back to Michael, "Balen Mistress and he was a member of Falcone's group is all I really got from him, should I ask him more?"

Hearing the name of just who he worked for caused a brow to arch and I thought a moment what this might mean before shaking my head. "No, it's fine I can do that myself later if needed. No, for now just make sure he knows what is needed, what I expect and that he has everything he needs. I think later on this evening the three of us will be going out. Go." Waving my hand I turned and walked back into my room, still debating on if I was going to the club or if we would be heading someplace else, after all, one couldn't be too careful now with the Joker and spiked drinks. For now, I stepped over to where the glass was shattered and began cleaning that mess us.

Tonight we were going to pay that club another visit and I was going to make that fucking clown confess and then reverse this shit he'd done to me or he was going to regret ever fucking with me. If that so called queen was around, well we would finish what was started the other night between us.

(JOHNNY POV)

After I walked away from the door, I pulled out the cell phone to text J only to find a message already on mine from him.

'Make sure Harley isn't coming to the club tonight I'm not ready to see her or deal with her. Getting ready here at the club, keep me updated on things.

As I read the message I sighed softly before running a hand through my hair and shaking my head. Some days it just wasn't worth getting out of bed. But J had been there for me and I wasn't going to turn away from him now. If he wanted Harley kept at the manor she'd be kept here, one thing for sure this was going to be a long, long, long day.

(JOKER POV)

Once the message to Johnny was sent, I didn't even wait for a possible reply. If he needed to tell me anything he would and I prepared to get myself ready. Johnny was one of the few I trusted so he'd keep Harley away, hopefully, tonight would not be too interesting. Still, I truly needed to find Jeanine, but that was easier said than done.

But that was a thought for another time, my club would be opening soon and I needed to be ready before then. If I, no wait, if she was lucky, by the time I went home the desire to kill Harley would be gone. Guess we would see how things went this evening. I pondered before heading to the private room where there was a shower and I kept a few spare suits, my mind to confused to make much more sense at least for now.
