Chapter twenty one- beginning of the end

I turned Gordon over on his back, to see him half conscious and holding his left shoulder where a spout of blood was coming from a gunshot wound. Without thinking I took off a scarf I was wearing and tied it around his wound.

"Your shot, you need help," I informed him.

"We need to get out of here," he protested, cringing as he positioned his body to stand up.

I helped him up by swinging his good shoulder over mine and helping him try and get back to his parked car. When I got him off the ground, he stopped me and walked a few feet without my assistance toward the terror scene in front of him. The GCPD headquarters in shambles.

All I could see was smoke and blood.

"You see blue I see red," Gordon quoted.

I walked up to his side "maybe you should get the national guard down here?"

Gordon didn't protest my suggestion this time, and again used me as support to escape the scene. We both got back to the car after a time of bobbing and weaving. The gunfire was dying down but was still clearly evident.

The car wasn't the safest place in the world but I hadn't a clue where to go, the hospital? Gordon needed help. I should call Bruce and tell him he needs to stay as far away from this place as possible.

"We should head to the hospital," I told Gordon, who despite being injured was still in the drivers seat.

Gordon looked straight forward, no emotion on his face "those are my men dying out there, I can't abandon them."

"You won't do them any good dead!" I argued not in the mood for some I'll go down with my ship bullshit.

"What good would I do them alive if all I've lead them to is this, how could I have let something like this happen under my watch and then just leave like I never cared, not even trying to help a single one of them."

"The best way you can help them is by getting the hell out of here and saving yourself so you can call the national guard and take down the joker once and for all. You have to live, what good would it do you to go out there guns blazing, take down what? Maybe two or three guys before you die! Now drive your ass to the hospital before I do it myself!"

"The joker once blew a hole through a hospital, I'm not so sure that's my idea of a safe place, but I think I know somewhere a bit safer," Gordon reluctantly agreed.

"Where would that be?"

"Wayne enterprises, Bruce and I are close, as you should know, he can help us."

I let a sigh of relief out, for a minute I thought he might take me to wherever batman hangs out "I think I should call him."

Gordon opened his mouth to say something but the sudden cracking of the windshield stopped him before he could. Someone saw us and was unloading an entire case of bullets on us. Gordon quickly started the car and pushed it into reverse, the car slightly squeezing as he slammed down on the gas.

I watched his eyes water in pain as he turned the steering wheel around with his injured shoulder. As for me, I held on for dear life, and crouched beneath the dashboard so I wouldn't be hit by any penetrating bullets.

I grabbed my phone from my pocket and tried as hard as I could to type in Bruce's name so I could call him. With the car shaking and spinning due to Gordon' erratic driving I held dearly onto my phone and to the car for life as the dial tone sounded.

"Harmony are you okay I'm almost there," Bruce waited no time saying.

"Bruce don't come down here, me and Gordon are on our way down to your building."
