"Hello Mrs Sheryl"y/n smiled and waved at her neighbour

"Hello love how are you?"she smiled waving back.Y/n put the keys in her lock

"I'm alright.Have a good day"she smiled and the lady wished her goodbye going to the elevators.

Y/n opened the door switching on the lights.She put the keys on the coffee table beside and sighed feeling content finally coming home

She removed her heels and went to her kitchen.She took out a beer for herself and walked to her room

Opening her closet to Look for a comfortable outfit,she opened another drawer inside it,a certain brown book catching her eye

She looked at it trying to remember what it was.She took out the book and traced the inscription on it

1996

She opened the book and recognised it immediately.She gasped when she opened the first page

It was a picture of her with a blue eyed boy

Jonathan

Her heart melted and her stomach jumped with butterflies at seeing his face after so long.She went to her living room,sitting on the couch with her legs crossed,she smiled at seeing the pictures

There was one where Jonathan looked angry.She took that as a selfie when he was annoyed and she remembered laughing so much after that

A chuckle escaped her lips and she went on to the next page.So many memories came in her mind

She wondered where Jonathan would be at this time

"Evening Mr crane"the receptionist almost stood up from her seat at seeing the handsome tall man walk in

He acknowledged her with a simple nod and a glimpse but it made her fall at the edge of her seat.Crane,who was still working overnight at the asylum quietly walked down to the basement of the asylum

He opened the doors,he was the only person having access to the basement by his thumbprint.

No one ever entered the basement cause they didn't have to.People were taught that the basement was only holding old hospital beds and nothing more

But there was more to it than that

Crane walked inside,past old beds and chairs of the hospital.He walked over to a back corridor and opened a door that was hidden from it all

He opened it by his keys that he had in his pocket and then walked in.The smell of toxins and chemicals hit him together but he was so used to it that he wasn't bothered

He considered it as his oxygen

He kept his briefcase down and sat on a metal chair with the wooden table filled with books.He picked up the phone and dialed a number

"Crane crane crane"

"You called.Why?"he asked not interested by the man on the other line

"Oh crane why can't you uh-play along for once.Do you have uh a uh tv where you're at?"

Crane sighed at his games

"I don't"

"Well then I'll help.There's this new birdie out there that uh-is badmouthing my business"

"And?"he asked dully

"Yes I'm not bothered by a little birdie badmouthing it but uh-she might know something crane.She says that the JOKER has a sidekick.A doctor of some kind who is helping him create uh some kind of poison to infect the city"joker said

Jonathan sat quiet in his seat repeating his words in his mind

"What do you need me to do?"

"It's up to you crane.She's behind you,kill her, torture her or go on a uh date with her....I'm not bothered but since I promised you my protection I'm just doing my job"he singsonged and cut the call

Crane put the phone down and rubbed his eyes under his spectacles.He sighed tiredly

"I guess we got another one to kill crane"scarecrow happily sang in his mind ready to hurt another victim,a man or a woman he was never bothered by it

"We do"

"Evening Alice"y/n smirked putting down her purse on the chair in front of her

"How late do you have to be?!"she squealed.y/n sighed sitting down and ordering herself a coffee

"Seriously?You're having coffee at 9:00 at night?"she scoffed

"I drink it all the time nothing new"she shrugged sighing and leaning back comfortably on the restaurant chair

"I heard you cracked the big news.About the joker and his side kick"

"Yes I did"

"Tell me more"Alice smiled

"Bye!"alice waved at y/n who had her coat in her hand and still managed to wave back with a chuckle

"Message me when you get home!"alice shouted and went back inside the restaurant because she wanted to hit on a man she liked

Y/n sighed and breathed in the fresh air.Taking out the keys to her car she walked over the corner of the dimly lit street

As soon as she was about to open the door to the car she heard the scream of a woman.She was startled and went on full alert mode

"Hello?"she shouted closing back her car and locking it while she slowly approached the alley through which the voice came

"Is anyone there?!"she shouted right outside the alley,peeping in inside slightly.She saw a woman lying on the ground alone in the alley

"Oh god.Ma'am are you alright?!"she rushed to her kneeling down to her level,the woman looked like she saw a ghost,her breathing heavy and unsteady,her face and hair covered in sweat.She wasn't able to move and her eyes were wide in shock and fear

"Miss are you...

Suddenly green toxic gas was blown in her way

"Face your fears"a smooth voice spoke.She managed to turn and see who it was in between the coughing but she only saw a figure of a man in a suit

She coughed again and again trying to get the smoke out of her lungs but it was taking over.She felt dizzy,suffocated and like she was strangled

"It's alright darling,it happens at the first time....but then it all gets dark...and dull and empty"the voice disappeared suddenly.She got back up on her feet stumbling on her heels trying to see clearly

She stumbled through the alleyway and she could see the end on the street just two steps away from her but it seemed like it was long and endless

"Why the hurry?Hm?"the voice was echoing everywhere.She couldn't believe what was happening and she fell to her knees again

"Should we take her out boss?"another man's voice said and there was no response from him because he was wondering

The goon brought his rod up hitting the side of her face harshly making her fall to the ground and pass out

"You idiot!"

"Did I tell you to do that?Did I?!"

*gunshot*

He walked towards her limp body on the wet ground.He kneeled down to take a look of her face and removed his mask

For a minute there....he watched her.Quietly he saw her,and that something in his heart told him he was connected by her

If only he knew what it was
