"Alright wait out here till you get the text." She says taking the creep inside. I nod and wait. These bastards better have what they promised. The clean slate would be our ticket out. No more crime, no more creepy politicians.
I hear the door lock and I know I'll be going in soon. I wait and the phone buzzes. I knock on the door and a big man opens it. I walk in with the print in hand.
"Wow, great crowd." I scoff. I hand the man the thumbprint and he tucks it away.
"Need anything else?"
"Nope, that will be all." The man answers for her. A man leads me out and I lean against the building waiting for the action to happen. I hear the cars screech and I break the window next to the door and climb in, dodging gunfire. The big guy at the door grabs me from behind and I flip him over me. I snap his arm and he cries in pain. What a baby.
I grab his gun and shoot at the men. I flip over a table and hide behind it as the police barge in.
We scream in terror acting like frantic women. The congressman was shot and he lays on the ground. As the police exit to chase down the thugs we get up. I brush myself off and step on the gun wound. He yells in pain.
"Keep some pressure on that, daddy." I roll my eyes and we leave.
"Call me?" He groans. We exit and go our separate ways to meet up later. She goes to the right as she fakes her pain for an officer. I guess I should do the same. I hold my arm in pain and put on the fake tears. As I go left I bump into one of the officers.
"Hailey?" I look up. Shit. I turn around and walk the other way. "Hailey!" I take off running and climb up one of the buildings around the corner. I get to the top and sit there. I can feel the tears threaten to spill over my eyes. John. I take off running back to the apartment. When I get there Sel is already inside and she's angry.
"Those fucking bastards! I know they have it. Well just have to take it from them. Fine. If that's how they want it that's how it'll be." She stops ranting and looks at me. "What's wrong?"
"I saw him. He was right in front of me. He's a cop." She goes in to hug me.
"Oh sweetie I'm sorry. Did he recognize you?" I nod. She hugs me tighter.
"Look gets some rest. I'll do the fundraiser tomorrow. Maybe I'll bring you home a souvenir." She lets go and smiles.
"Okay. Thanks." I head off to my room and curl into bed crying myself to sleep. Of course he became a cop. Of course he stayed in Gotham.
"Your idea of a souvenir is a Lamborghini?" I ask as she hands me the keys. "How did you get it?"
"Well last night our friend, Wayne, came for the pearls so I took his valet ticket." She smirks. "It's yours."
"You realize I can't go around driving this. They know it's his."
"I know, but Hailey, he stole my necklace, I couldn't leave without a fight. I just thought you could play with it for a little bit and then drop it off somewhere." She shrugs. "Because really where are we going to keep it here?" She laughs. I smile and shake my head.
"Fine. Maybe I'll carve my name on it."
"That's my girl." She smiles.
I get dressed in a hoodie and some jean shorts and go out to the car. In a place like this people probably think it's stolen. I get inside and it is the epitome of luxury. Leather seats, touchscreen technology, even seat warmers. I drive it down the street and go into a nearby parking garage. One that has been spared from Batman's crime-fighting antics that usually ends up in destruction that seems to always affect the less than prosperous areas of Gotham.It's not very busy so their shouldn't be many cars. I drive inside and go up and down the garage. I swerve it left and right burning rubber everywhere I go.
