CHAPTER 6
Jade turned, and three feet in front of her, there stood the Joker. Laughing.
She turned back to the man at the counter.
"Could you shoot me before he does?"
She jumped as a sudden bang sounded, and when she opened her eyes, the man behind the counter was laying across the glass display case, while his brain was splattered against the wall.
She let out a sharp laugh, and turned back to the guy in the clown make-up.
"He didn't want to die. I did. Dumby dumb dumb."
She was practically delirious. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying, and she was developing a fever from walking in the rain for over two hours.
The lanky man in front of her started to get blurry, and her knees started to give out beneath her.
The Joker watched as the woman in front of him fell to the floor.
He was confused.
Since when do his victims ask to be killed?
"Boomer."
The small kid walked in from the doorway, scratching his nose under the clown mask.
"Get the other two clowns and take miss death wish to the car."
"What are you gonna do to her?"
"DID I TELL YOU TO ASK STUPID QUESTIONS?"
At that, Boomer got two of the Joker's other goons, and they carried her out of the store.
The Joker stuffed a few boxes of shells into his pockets, and followed them out.
He had found his girl.
