Complications

"LA LA LA LA! I LIKE PANCAKES! THEY ARE TASTY! LA LA LA!"

Harleen sang herself a cheery tune, while making breakfast.

She turned on the TV to find a groundbreaking news report. The reporter appeared on screen.

"Hello, welcome to Gotham at Dawn. Last Night at 11 o' clock, The Gotham Museum of fine art was robbed. 5 pieces of artwork were stolen, each piece depicting clowns. Of the pieces stolen was a Ricardo Vincenzo original, a famous piece of a male and female clown kissing. We have just received news of the suspects. 2 were spotted at the museum, but have not been identified yet. From this dark picture we see a male wearing a purple suit, with very pale skin, and green hair, the other a female, slender, young, with brown hair, wearing black and blue tights. The Gotham Police have identified the suspect to be the Joker, but the female accomplice has yet to be identified."

Harleen sat, her jaw wide open.

"Oh, it seems we have just received video footage pertaining to the robbery."

The screen went fuzzy and a person appeared.

"Hello morons of Gotham. Guess who! You're having some trouble, let me give you a hint.

Harleen, jaw still wide open, uttered, "Mistah J?"

"I am the man who robbed the museum! UGH! That's it, no more games! TAH DAH!!! It's me, the Joker! I've been away for a while, but now I'm BACK! I guess you all know about what I stole, but there's plenty more to come. I have a new outlook on crime! And I have a new assistant! Oh Janie!!!!!

A thin girl walked into the picture

"Yes cupcake?"

"Smile for the camera Janie, all of Gotham's watching!"

"Hi losers!"

The perky girl waved and smiled.

"Now, enough chit-chat, lets get down to business. I hope the Gotham Police force is watching, you might want to write this down. Tomorrow at midnight, me and my darling Janie here are going to rob the Gotham Museum of Ancient Artifacts. But here's the catch! We're not going to tell you what! Heee heee heee! Take a wild guess Commissioner Gordon! Oh, here's a bonus, we-"

"Oh! Can I talk cupcake? I love the camera, I was in this movie once and-"

"Not right now sweetheart, cupcake's busy."

"But I wanna talk!!!"

"NOT NOW YOU TWIT!"

The girl was silenced.

" Now, as I was saying before I was RUDELY interrupted. We will be stealing a love related artifact, one of the 700 artifacts at the museum! Good luck! HA HA HA HA, mmm, HEE HEE HEE! AH HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!"

The screen went blank.

"Who does that hussy think she is? Stealing my loving Mistah J from me. IT'S NOT FAIR! I should be there with him, not that fake tramp. –gasp-. Wha-what's gotten into me? NO, I can't act like this. He, HE is doing this to me. There is only one way to top this. Tomorrow, I'm going to steal that artifact, before the Joker and that hussy can get to it. Then that'll be the end."
