Chapter 8:
The Joker lips pillage Rachel's lips with the utmost insanity. His tongue burns her own as they meet. Rachel sways her head back and fourth trying to escape his grasp. But the Joker does not give up. His lips stop only for a second so his sharp teeth can grab at her bottom lip. He pulls back faintly and mutters in a slight muffled tone "Can't resist a bad boy, can you, Miss Dawes?"
Rachel finally is able to break her lips away from his and she says with utter confidence "Actually, Joker. I can." The Joker laughs and asks in a heightened mocking tone "Really? After or before we played tonsil hockey?" Rachel glares at him and is about to say something but he continues while fiddling with his tie "Well….I thought pretty girls, like you we're supposed to be good kissers, buuhh-tttt, I guess, for you, honey, that's not the case…"
Rachel gasps and screams out "I am too!" The Joker laughs, loosens his tie and says in a deep voice "Well, why don't ya prove it then?" Rachel smirks, shakes her head and says calmly "Listen, Joker. I don't have time for this….I am a very busy person….."
The Joker takes off his tie and throws it onto the floor behind him while interrupting "…blah-blah-blah…loosen up, beautiful. Now, I've got the puurrrr-fect way you could do that. I've still got some whipped cream left….you know how much I love…." He licks his lips and then continues "…the taste of it."
Rachel rolls her eyes and screams loudly trying to break the disturbing tension "Help! Is there anyone there? Hello?" The Joker laughs, looks around the room and says softly "Now, now, Rach. You know I wouldn't be stupid enough to take you to a place where people could actually hear you. Now, do yourself a favor and shut those pretty little lips of yours before I bind them shut with a stapler! Sound good, doll face?"
Rachel's eyes widen at the threat but her buoyancy fails to lower so she screams, "Go ahead and bind them, Jack!" The Joker's eyes darken and he grabs Rachel by the hair and asks through an angry growl "What did you just call me?" Rachel fixes her eyes to his lips to see how his tongue swims across his bottom lip with abundance.
She gulps and whispers softly "I…ugh…..you…you heard what I said." The Joker pulls her hair tighter, and yells into her ear "…Jack. Is. Dead!" Rachel jumps as he spits the last word out, and he grabs her head once again mutters "oh…shh…shh, princess. Did I scare you?"
He lets go of her head by slamming it into the poll behind her. Rachel screams from the pain and the Joker mocks her "Owwww!! Ahhhh!! Save it for someone that cares!" Rachel grits her teeth and shouts "Don't you want to know how I found out?"
The Joker shakes his head at her and says in an animalistic snarl "I know, I know…that stupid mistake I made about the card game that we…hmm…wait just an orgasmic minute...now there's an idea. That little shenanigan that you just pulled has reminded me…we never played our little card game. How about we play now…. You're really starting to bore me to tears…"
Rachel looks into his eyes and interrupts harshly "…I don't want to play!" The Joker giggles, grabs her by her hair once again and says with pettiness "Life's not fair, Miss Dawes…" he lets her hair go roughly, turns around and walks towards the door while saying "…well…act-u-ally…I'm about to change that…. you see beautiful…" he opens the door, turns to look at her and says "…I'm that fat little kid with a magnifying glass and your about to become that little ant that…"
He tightens his fists and continues "that…that…squirms…. until they eventually just give out and die. So, to con-cluuuu-de, I'm God, and your….ugh… God's whore…." He leaves the room laughing while saying "I'll be back with the magnifying glass!" And then his infamous laugh rings in Rachel's ears and she tries to block it out. However, before she can, the door once again opens.

"Jackson. I need you to take over my shift for tonight…it's Barbara's and I's 10 year anniversary." The Commissioner smiles, and opens his desk drawer to take out a purple box. Jackson smirks and says in his Australian accent "Congratulations….and no worries, mate. I need to stay here anyways…. it seems like there's a lot of paper-work to be done about that Joker fellow."
Gordon nods, sighs and mutters, "Yes, yes, there is. Listen, if anyone needs me tonight…. tell him or her to call me on my private cell number. I'm taking Barbara out to dinner, and it's the only phone she let's me carry since not many people know the number." Jackson chuckles at this and says, "Well, enjoy yourself mate. You really need…."
Suddenly, a woman's voice screams "Commissioner! You might want to take a look at this." The Commissioner looks down at her hands to see a DVD. He takes the DVD, walks over to his computer and places it in the hard drive. He sits down, leans back and watches as the monitor reveals a video of Batman.
Gordon's eyebrows knit as the Batman speaks "I know the location of the Joker and Rachel. If you want to know, your going to have to meet me 6 pm tonight at the top of Wayne Enterprises…." Unexpectedly, the video gets blurry and the recording stops. The Commissioner bites his lip and Jackson speaks "I can meet him there if you want, sir." Commissioner Gordon shakes his head, looks at his watch and says "No, no, no. It's fine. I'll go…I just got to give Barbara a phone call."

"You ever played strip poker Miss Dawes?" Rachel shakes her head in horror and whispers more to herself than to him "Oh God…please….no." The Joker closes the door behind him, walks up to her and says, "Well, it's your unlucky day, beautiful. We will not be playing strip poker…we're going to play a small game of truth or dare."
The Joker sits beside Rachel, rolls up his sleeves and then mixes the cards in his hands. Rachel turns her head to watch him take out four cards from the deck. She asks confused "What are we in grade school?" The Joker chuckles at her sad attempt for a joke.
He puts his hand in his pocket, fiddles with the knife and says to her "Is that your first truth question, or are you just trying to be a smart ass? Because…you know…. we don't have to play this game…. I could just carve your face up like a pumpkin. See, now that would be entertainment! Oscar worthy even! But…. I'll give you 5 seconds to think about which activity you would rather participate in. So, which is it, beautiful? Ahhhh…here we go…. 5 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 3…"
Rachel gulps and shouts, "I want to play! I…ugh…want to play truth or dare." The Joker frowns and whispers sadly "Really? I was really looking forward to the other game…oh well…. here…." He holds up the four cards, back side facing her and continues, "…Pick a card. If you pick a Joker, you have to do a ….ugh…. naughty dare…and if you pick an Ace, I'll ask you a question that you must answer honestly…. Got it, honey bunch?" The Joker nods her head for her and asks with a giggle in his throat "Which one, precious?"
Rachel bites her lip and whispers "The third one from your right…" the Joker smiles, puts the other cards down and shows her an Ace. She sighs happily at the fact that she does not have to do a 'naughty' dare. The Joker clears his throat, moves his head closer to hers and asks with a smirk on his face "Tell me…Miss Dawes…. Have you always wanted to be a lawyer?"
Rachel bites her lip and asks, "I have to answer this honestly?" The Joker rolls his eyes and says in a mocking tone "Ugh…. yes…that's why I believe the game is called Truth or Dare." Rachel laughs and replies back softly "Well, then…no. I wanted to be…." She stops her self and blushes.
The Joker's eyes widen as he asks "What?" She looks at him once again and replies, "…I wanted to be a...singer…." The Joker giggles at this and then Rachel shouts "Hey! I think it's your turn to choose a card now!" The Joker licks his bottom lip and says slyly into her ear "Oh…anxious are we?" Rachel rolls her eyes as the Joker places the cards on the floor, face down and chooses one, and then lifts it to reveal a Joker.
Rachel chuckles and mutters softly "What a coincidence…." She thinks for a moment and then says, "…Untie me." The Joker laughs and whispers "Anything but that, beautiful." Rachel rolls her eyes, and then turns to look at him. Her eyes wander around his face until they reach his scars. She gulps and whispers "I dare you…to…. remove your make-up."
The Joker's eyebrows raise and he looks away and shakes his head while muttering "No…I'm not…I'm not doing that. No…" Rachel interrupts by screaming, "What are you going to shoot down every dare? You made the game, so play it! Take off your make-up or untie me!" The Joker looks back at her and whispers with a growl "Fine. I'll the play the game…. I'm always up for a challenge." He suddenly gets up, walks towards the door and says in a chirpy voice "I'll be back. Don't go anywhere...well...it's not like you can anyway."

A few minutes later, the door creaks open to reveal a blond haired man. Rachel stares at the door and asks, "Where's the Joker? He said he was going to untie me." The man laughs a very familiar laugh and then starts to walk towards her while saying in a depp voice, "Well, well, Rachel Dawes. Your not very good at this truth game, you see, it means, no lying is involved. The Joker would never agree to something like that"
Rachel gasps as the blond haired man stops right in front of her. He too has the horrible scars around his lips. Rachel bites her bottom lip and asks "Did he do that to you?" The man watches her suspiciously, sits down beside her and whispers, "Yes, he did." Rachel shakes her head in disgust while saying "That evil pig-headed bastard! He's got to make everyone as ugly as he is, doesn't he?"
The man gives a short, very familiar giggle and says, "Are you trying to say that I'm beautiful Miss Dawes? Because lying to get me to untie you, will not work…" Rachel shakes her head and whispers "I'm not lying… you are…beautiful...well...except for those god awful scars…. ugh…(pause) Please, tell me. How long do I have until he kills me?" The man chuckles loudly and heightens his voice a bit before saying "He won't kill you, beautiful."
Rachel looks at the man for a second, and then her eyes widen as she asks "Joker?" The Joker nods and laughs so loudly that the people across town could have heard him. He wipes the tears away from his eyes and says with a real grin "So…wait a sec…. I'm…. ugh…beautiful, huh, Rach?" Rachel shakes her head in more disbelief then disapproval. She gulps and says softly "I…I…ugh…. how…."
The Joker giggles even harder and asks slyly "Are you so thrown off by my good looks that you can't even get a sentence together? Wow, honey…that is just too sweet." Rachel shakes her head one final time and says, "…No of course not! Your not….your not...beau... can I just pick another card?"
The Joker shuffles the four cards while laughing, and says, "Pick one, pumpkin." Rachel looks at his true face one last time and then says "The last card from the left." The Joker turns it over and it is once again an Ace. The Joker rolls his eyes and mutters "Always truth…hmmm…" He moves his body closer to Rachel, and he rubs his hand slowly from her cheek down to her stomach. His lips slowly press to her ear as he asks in an animalistic growl "Tell me…Miss Dawes…. do I turn you on?"
