Harley walked into Wayne manor; it was already dark outside which chilled her skin as she's left her coat in her apartment. She made her way deeper into the manor "Master Wayne was called away on some… unexpected business" Alfred smiled. "Thank you"
"Will you be needing dinner Madam?"
"No thank you Alfred, I think I'm going to go change and go out for a while" she smiled
"Vary well, do be careful Madam"
"I'll call if trouble arises," she laughed heading up the stairs. At the top she remembered the box "Oh Alfred!" she called over the railing.
"Yes Madam" he called back
"There's a box, in the back seat of my car, could you do me a favor and burn it?"
"Right away Miss"
"Thank you"
She walked into the club, music pumping so loud she could feel it outside. She needed a distraction, somewhere she didn't have to think or feel she didn't even bother buying a drink just headed straight for the dance floor. She lost her self in the music, unaware of the eyes that watched her every move; she danced for what felt like forever before she decided to get a drink. A shot rang out over the music just as she had ordered her drink, 'Just my luck' she thought, Joker stood at the top of the stairs that lead to the top floor, gun in hand. The music stopped and the crowd silenced them selves "I hope you all didn't for get about little old me, I know I know, I've been gone too long" he laughed, a few woman started screaming as his clowns made their way through the crowd "Shut up!" he growled sending shivers down Harley's spine, she knew why he was here, he was looking for her and tempting someone to call the Bat. She knew she needed to get out of there and get far away she looked to the bartender "Nearest exit?" she whispered
"Back corner Mrs. Wayne"
"Thanks" she winked at him and crouched down enough to not be seen over the crowds heads. She booked it for the door, expecting Joker's clowns to be waiting for her on the other side, she ran down the street surprised no ne had stopped her. She ducked into a store and crouched behind a row of shelves. "Bruce?"
"Yes" his voice growled, 'Of course he was still out running around' she thought
"There's kind of a situation at club Chemical. Joker's holding the place up, I'm sure he's looking for me, I got out but no one needs to be hurt cause of me"
"I'm on my way"
"Bruce?"
"Yes love?"
"Be careful, he's always been… protective over me even in the hospital. I he finds out who you really are he wont hesitate to kill you where you stand"
"Call Alfred, have him pick you up and stay at home"
"I love you" she hung up to call Alfred "Alfred, I'm in an tight spot I need you to pick me up"
"On my way Madam" she hung up while rising to her feet, she looked at the cashier, she grabbed a chocolate bar
"Are you alright Miss?" he questioned
"Yes, fine. Just need some sugar, feeling rather faint" she smiled sweetly
"Oh my god, you Bruce Wayne's fiancé!" he all but yelled "Harley Quinn!" she grabbed the front of his shirt
"Yeah I am and it would be best if you tell anyone I came in here!" she let him go and dropped some change on the counter. She jumped into the waiting car "Thank you Alfred"
"No problem Madam" he pushed the car forward "Might I ask why the frantic call?"
"When I left I went to club Chemical, I know it's a mob club but I used to go there all the time with Red. Just when I decided to get a drink a shot was fired, it was my luck that it was Joker. I got out before I heard what he wanted but I'm sure it was me"
"Did you inform Master Wayne, Madam?"
"Yes, I called him before I called you" she looked out the window "Did you bun the box?"
"Yes Ma'am" the rest of the ride was silent.
"We're sorry Boss! We didn't see her leave!" a clown yelled
"I told you to have every exit covered," he growled, pointing his gun at one of the clowns. "Every time we have her in our grasp and she escapes one of you will die" he snarled pulling the trigger.
