Bad Boys

20: The Clown Princes Of Crime

The Clown Princes Of Crime
(Arthur POV)
Me and Jack finalized our plan then got up, got dressed yet again, and headed out the door to go take care of 'the hooded man.' I guess we aren't getting much sleep tonight, I thought to myself, but I didn't care as long as I had Jack by my side. The town wasn't but a few blocks away so me and Jack just walked while filling the air with our chatter until we had arrived. "The town isn't as lively at night as it is in the evenings, clearly they need to be put under new leadership, real leaders don't sleep! Luckily for them I've got the perfect clown for the job!" Jack mumbled. "How are we going to know where to find 'the hooded man' Jack?" I asked Jack while keeping my voice down as to not wake any of the natives. "It's easy, we'll just follow the scent of a shitty leader, and there he will be." Jack answered aggravatingly. I wasn't quite sure what that meant, I could tell he was mad, "But we obviously can't actually follow his scent, I mean we're not dogs.." I said back to Jack. He suddenly stopped and looked back at me, he approached me and said, "I don't know, Arthur, do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I actually caught it, you know? I just do things!" Jack started to raise his voice. I backed up a few steps for I thought maybe Jack was started to go insane, I didn't know what had gotten into him, he just snapped. "Oh-okay I'm sorry." I said while looking down and gently kicking at the ground. I hated knowing that Jack was mad although I couldn't tell if he was mad at me or just the whole world in general. For the time being I just stayed silent until we found 'the hooded man' , he was sound asleep in his chamber on the top of one of the tallest buildings in Clown Town. We broke into his house for the sky-roof, with a rope and a harness. As I was hooking Jack up to the harness I learned towards him and kissed his neck to make sure that we were still fine but Jack quickly jerked himself away from my lips. I shook my head in frustration not letting him see though, I didn't want him to know that I was mad because I just thought that would make things worse. Jack then jumped into the hole in the roof as I caught him  and slowly lowered him down. Once Jack got down to the floor his unhooked himself front he harness. He reached into his pocket grabbed his infamous rusty knife and quickly slit the mans throat. "And that ladies and gentlemen is why you don't sleep on the fucking job." Jack said happily as he dragged the man to him bathroom and left him in the bathtub to rot. Jack came back up after just ten minutes, he unhooked himself from the harness and quickly walked past me while saying "it's done." He said his words so bland, bleak, and emotionless, it cut like a knife. He might as well have been cutting my throat open and dragging me to the bathroom to rot, it couldn't possibly be worse than having the love of my life mad at me for some unknown reason.
