ARKHAM HIGH PAGE 14 CHAPTER 2
"This is awkward." I said looking around the room.
"SMOKE BOMB!" Jake yelled while throwing a smoke bomb and we ran out. I think his dad was gonna cuss us out. After we got out and ran down the street some he kissed me deeply. "Now what do we do?"
"I dunno, find a place to live?"
"Ok I bet the whole gang's already left."
"Yeah, it's getting late, you wanna stay at a motel?"
"Sure babe." he said chuckling and I laughed.
We got to a motel, we got to stay there for free. They were afraid of Jake. I collapsed on the bed when we got to our room.
"I'm so tired!" I yelled in the pillow, but he must of just heard some muffles.
"Come on, get up let me pull back the covers so you wont be cold tonight." he said tugging on the covers. Eventually I got up, he pulled back the covers for me to lay in the bed, tucked me in, and kissed my head. He walked over to a chair and tried to fall asleep in that. Like that's gonna happen.
"Why you tryin to fall asleep in that?" I asked.
"So you can have the bed to yourself."
"You can lay in the bed if ya want."
"Ok, thanks." he said walking towards the bed and layed down in it. I was shivering in the bed, freezing my god dang butt off.
"Cold?" he asked, I just nodded then he just huddled against me. "Well you are freezing I'll tell you that," he said with a chuckle as he piled most of the covers on me. "thank you" I said with the covers on top of me and drifted off to sleep.
It was late, I woke up to Jake shaking me like a leaf on a tree.
"Bailey! Bailey! Look at the news!" he yelled with a fearful look on his face, that made me worried. What was scaring him?
"News reporters astonished, as we find Waylen Jones' body dead, or as the man we used to know as Killer Croc." the news lady on the tv said. Tears started to form in my eyes and I just let them out. "The only trace to the killer of this man, is a smile carved into the wall." After she said that Jake's jaw dropped, my eyes full of tears turned into rage. "Breaking news another muder has happend and it is his wife Mary Dhul, known as Gotham city's baby doll." Fresh tears came out when that happened, I was crying more than I could imagine.
"Shhhh, it's gonna be ok." Jake said with me curled up in his arms.
"Everything left me, just in a blink of a eye." I said with a lump in my throat, pity flashed through Jake's eyes; that made me cry even more.
