Thank you thank you thank you for your lovely reviews! I'm so glad you all are enjoying my story, and once again I'm sorry for the bad grammar lol if you look in my profile you will see why! Anyway, that being said I'm still looking for a BETA if anyone is interested? It seems that BETA's are pretty useful so I want to give it a shot. School starts next Tuesday! Ah, I remember saying that last year and then took forever to update my stories! Well not this year, I have dedicated time to write this for you guys, though I won't promise quick updates! Trust me if I could update everyday, I would. Now, as for the story, in this chapter it does get a bit violent for those of you who are uncomfortable with that, but not to the point where I'm going to change it to 'M' just yet. Enjoy!
Eilish watched as her two friends walked obediently into the bus, their wrists turning red from the handcuffs that were extremely tight, and their faces stained with tears. They could only look down as the clowns behind them forced them up the steps. Eilish winced as she felt the Joker grab a fist full of her hair, pulling her head back slightly as he leaned over her shoulder to look at her.
"Don't keep me waiting Leashy, I'm a very impatient man." she heard him growl into here ear. She was shoved forward, catching herself quickly before she went face first into the wet pavement. She slowly made her way to the door of the bus, tears filling her eyes as the back of her head started to pound and burn with pain.
She felt the Joker's presence behind her as she walked up the first step, tears now streaming down her cheeks. She quickly turned around to face the masked man.
"P-please don't do this…I-." he soon pressed his gloved finger to her lips.
"Ah, ah, ah…now, now sweetheart let's not do anything you might regret later." his hand slid down to her throat, ready to drag her up the rest of the steps.
"S-stop…please! Y-you don't have to do this-." the Joker sighed annoyed as he watched Eilish beginning to break down.
"Leashy…Leashy…." he gently grabbed her jaw, moving her face closer to his, "I haven't even done anything yet…" he let her go and grabbed her arm, Eilish's heart wanted to jump out of her chest as he made it clear to her that she was going nowhere.
She winced as the Joker's fingertips dug into her soft skin as he pulled her up the steps, keeping her in front of him. Eilish looked up, her tears stopping as she caught the glance of her two friends who sat surprisingly, quiet in the back of the bus. She swallowed hard, not bothering to listen to what the Joker was saying to his goons.
"Let's get a move on shall we? I'm getting antsy." She heard the Joker say to the bus driver with excitement. She looked over and saw the driver give him a nod, and putting the bus into gear. The Joker turned towards the back of the bus to face his clowns, and her friends.
"Now, now my dear passengers we are about to depart on our journey for today. If you would, your emergency exits are…" she looked up at the Joker as he paused, lifting his hand up to his chin as if he was thinking, "hmm…ahh that's right…there are no exits! So please enjoy the ride for it maybe your last!" he shouted, only to snap his head back and let out a deep, bone chilling laugh.
"Shut up!" the Joker snapped as his goons began to laugh with him. The Joker roughly shoved her into one of the bus seats. She moved herself as far away as she could from him, pressing herself against the metal wall of the bus next to her, watching as he slid in next to her, taking out his gun.
"Scared Leashy?" she heard him ask as he cocked his gun, without turning towards her. After a few moments of not answering, he turned his head towards her, resting the gun against his thigh. "Cause you should be."

"Commissioner Gordon you have an emergency on line one." Gordon sighed at his secretary's voice. He put his pen down against the pad we was writing on and picked up his phone.
"Gordon here." he mumbled into the phone.
"Yeah its Ramirez…we got a call from a high school out in the suburban area…they lost three students on a field trip." Gordon sighed, asking himself why they were even called the Major Crimes Unit, when they were treated as a normal police station.
"Details?" he asked leaning back in his chair, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Three girls…two of them 17 one of them 18. They were on a trip to the World War II Museum on Chestnut Ave. The teacher states that when they boarded the bus the three of them weren't there." she explained.
"Have you tried contacting parents? They might have had one of them pick them up during the trip." Gordon suggested, obviously not in the mood to deal with it.
"Not yet, we have patrol cars at the school right now searching it, and if they aren't there they are going to contact the parents." said Ramirez who sounded just as tired and careless as Gordon.
"Alright well, tell Stephens to get a squad down to that Museum to search the place and the streets. Can I get the names?" he sat up and picked up his pen.
"Maria Sanchez, Victoria Donnel…" Ramirez paused. Gordon looked up suspiciously as his pen waited patiently against the paper.
"What's the last one Ramirez…" he asked in a slightly worried tone.
"Uh…Eilish Jordans…she was over there the other week when the Joker blew the place. I guess I was just surprised to see her name again…you would think she would have learned by now, if it even is her fault." Gordon dropped his pen, his eyes widened as he remembered the girl clearly.
"Make sure you get those squads to that museum." Before she could say anything else he hung up the phone, shuffling through the papers on his desk, then suddenly stopped. He grabbed the phone, punching in a few numbers.
"Major Crimes Unit-."
"Laurie it's Gordon, listen I need you to bring up whoever controls the security surveillance system downstairs to my office as soon as possible." he hung up, running his hand through his hair, trying to think back to that same night as best he could.
(The Bus)
Eilish tried to calm herself the best she could, glancing over at the Joker frequently, who was leaning out of the aisle either to look at the driver, or her friends. She swallowed hard.
"C-can I go sit with my f-friends?" she asked softly, hoping he heard her and wouldn't have to repeat herself.
"W-what's w-wrong d-d-d-doll face?" he mocked her as he turned to face her, wrapping his arm over her shoulders. "Don't like my company?"
She eyed his gun that sat against his leg, shaking at his touch.
"I…I just want to be with them."
"What? Spending the whole day together wasn't enough for ya?"
"I don't see why I can't-."
"Do I need to spell it out for you? Hmm?" he asked, growing annoyed. She looked out the window, her thoughts filled with sorrow and hope that this would all be over soon.
"Where are we going…?" said Eilish softly a few moments later. The Joker growled, turning towards her.
"This isn't 21 questions sweetie, so don't push me."
In the back of the bus, Victoria looked down at the floor, her arms growing tired from the handcuffs that seemed like they had been on her forever. She looked over at Maria who looked like she was struggling against them.
"Don't waste your energy…we might need it later." Victoria said in a whisper, keeping herself visible for the strange masked man to see her so he wouldn't be suspicious of anything. But Maria still struggled; Victoria couldn't help herself for wondering what she was up to. She looked to see Maria's hand halfway out of the handcuffs.
Victoria's heart began to pound as she looked up to see one of the masked men staring at her. She stared back, trying not to fidget or give anything away. He soon looked back to the driver. Victoria looked over at Maria who had now had her one hand free of the handcuffs. Victoria felt excitement clenching her stomach, unsure of what to do. She looked back down the aisle once again to see the Joker now staring at her.
"I think your uhh…friends are up to something Leashy…something I should know about?" Eilish's heart began to race at his words. She slowly turned to face him, unsure of what to say yet curious to what he was talking about.
"What do you mean?" she asked. Before he could answer the bus came to a sudden stop. Eilish looked out the window to see that they had stopped in an empty neighborhood not so different from the one they were in before. Despite what had happened, the sun made its way through the clouds and soon began to clear up. She then looked over to the Joker's clowns who began to stand up and stretch, grabbing the large duffle bags that she had seen them bring onto the bus.
Without warning the Joker grabbed her harm and pulled her up to her feet, pulling her against him.
"Now-." Before the Joker could finish there was a loud sound that had come from the back of the bus. They all looked to see the emergency exit door in the back swung open with both Victoria and Maria hopping out of it. A rush of adrenaline shot through Eilish as she was able knee the Joker in his lower stomach. He hunched over, groaning for a moment, knowing she didn't have much time until he would recover.
She sprinted down the aisle of the bus, leaping out of the back only to land harshly on the pavement, her ankle falling under her as it hit the ground. She yelped in pain, realizing she was now in trouble again. She struggled to get up, her arms still handcuffed behind her back making it even hard for her to move. She began to feel sick as the pain from her ankle started to spread through her body. Once she was able to get up she sprinted after her friends who weren't much farther ahead. She saw that Victoria was behind Maria, due to the handcuffs on her, which she then realized Maria was able to get them off.
Eilish began to pant as she kept running, telling herself not to look back. She knew her ankle was slowing her down but she had to keep running. She soon caught up with Victoria who had tears streaming down her face. Eilish sprinted along side her, both of them watching as Maria was soon out of sight. A frightening sound soon reached her ears as she looked over to see one of the masked men had tackled Victoria to the pavement. It didn't take her long to realize she was about to be next, but before she could even prepare herself, she was struck in the back of the head, forcing her to fall to the ground.
She fought to keep herself conscious, groaning and wincing as she was laid out against the ground, feeling as if she was struck by a metal pole, which it turned out she was. Her vision was blurry as she tried to open her eyes.
"Boss, one of them got away!" she heard a faint voice say.
"She's nothing to worry about, it's this one I want…" She felt a presence standing over her.
"What about the other one? What should we do with her?" the faint voice asked again.
"Nothing yet, take her inside." the voice above her said. She felt a shoe slide under her ribs, lifting her up and rolling her over to her back. She cried out in pain as the pavement touched the back of her head where she had been hit. She tried to open her eyes to see what was going on, but her vision was still blurry, and at that point someone had lifted her up and thrown her over their shoulder.
Her head throbbed in pain as she was being carried, her hair falling against her dirty face, and her stomach being jabbed with by the person's hard shoulder. She opened her eyes once more, still blurry, yet able to make out a staircase…and before she knew it, she blacked out.
Okay so I lied! Not much violence lol but there will be in the next chapter! Anyway, sorry for the short chapter I had a hard time writing it and I wanted to get something up fast. Next chapter will be longer and better…promise! Please review! I know some of you may not like to but it really inspires me to write more! Btw the Joker is the one carrying Eilish if anyone was confused!
