Once The Joker heard about the scandal in his club, the trio immediately headed to the "Grin and Bare it." Normally the club should have opened to the public at night. However, there was no one by the door except Frost and the guards. Apparently, Frost closed it down in order not to attract attention. Because cops were always ready to smell blood scents in any place. But Frost's duty was to keep his boss safe which means keeping him away from cops as well.

When they appeared by the door, guards immediately opened the door nodding to their bosses in respect. Frost entered first to show where exactly the waitress was killed.

" I think you and that fucking manager have some things to explain to me!" The Joker sneered at Frost. " How did this happen?!"

" She was found about two hours ago in the restroom, one of the workers found her on the floor covered in blood

" She was found about two hours ago in the restroom, one of the workers found her on the floor covered in blood." Frost opened the door of the restroom for them to come in.

Jester immediately bent over to check the corpse. The body was still a bit warm so it seemed Frost was right. She must probably be killed two or three hours ago.

" Who exactly found her? Bring her in, now!" The Joker ordered Frost which he returned with the waitress who is paperwhite in fear.

" Now tell me what exactly you saw." The Joker pointed to the corpse.

" Mr. J, I...I, we were getting ready for the night just as we always do. Our regular stuff with cleaning and preparing trays. I needed help so I called Veronica a few times. But she didn't answer. So I thought to check up on her. But when I.. I opened the door...Omg!" she burst into tears.

" Was there someone you saw inside? Or anyone got out of the room?" The Joker asked.

" No, no sir. She was on the ground. Covered in blood. I.. I didn't touch the blade so that she doesn't lose any more blood," she said still crying.

" Which is right, but I am afraid she was dead by the time you came in," Jester said while examining more closely.

" Have you seen any fingerprints in the mirror or something?"

" No, no sir," she replied immediately.

" This room is especially for personal stuff. And there were no guests or customers. So this leaves me no choice but to suspect either you or all people working here!" The Joker leaned in to the girl's face lever, "Are you sure that you didn't see anything special, my dear?!"
