Part Forty-Nine: Chapter 394: Clash Of The Clowns

"How we gonna find Mr. Jester in a city this fucking big?" Mark sighs as he looks out the window of their stolen vehicle.

"Well, he doesn't exactly blend in with the white skin and green fucking hair," Tom rolls his eyes.

"Unless he's wearing makeup, like he did in all the airports," Mark ounts out in a rare brainiac moment.

"I say we check hotels. Obviously they have to sleep, right?" Tom says.

"They gotta eat too," Mark notes.

"That they do," Tom sighs, his eyes continually scanning faces as he drove.

***************************

Sasha cranks her car to warm it up. The Joker stands holding Jackson as Jester puts his and Julia's luggage in the trunk. The Joker appears nervous. Jester isn't sure what to make of that. It made him feel like he was walking into impending doom or something.

The Joker hands Jackson off to Alexis. "I have a parting gift for you brother," the Joker says. Jester turns to see his twin pulling out his gun.

"Your gun?" Jester cocks his green brow.

"It would make me feel better to know that you weren't unarmed with two clowns on your trail," the Joker says staring at his gun.

"I'm not unarmed, I have Sasha," Jester says.

The Joker takes his twins hand and places his gun in it, "Two clowns, two guns."

Jester looks at the gun in his hand, "I thought Jason had this," he says as his finger traces the Jester head emblem on it."

"Heh-heh, do you really think I had only one?" The Joker smirks.

Jester smiles and sticks the gun in the back of his pants. He then turns to Alexis holding Jackson. He gestures to take him, "Might I say goodbye to my Nephew?" He asks. Alexis frowns, but hands him off to Jester. Jester smiles down at the baby. "It was so nice to meet you Jackson, though I wish it had been under better circumstances. You're going to grow into a fine young man. I hope to be able to see you grow up."

"You will," the Joker nods. He then turns to Julia. He leans forward and gives her an awkward kiss on the cheek, "I'm glad Jester has you. Take care of each other."

"Of course," Julia assures.

"We really do need to get going," Jester says handing Jackson to J.

By the front door of the car Ace stares down at Sasha's shoes. He didn't know how to tell her goodbye. "Stay sharp. Don't get yourself killed," he swallows.

"Count on eet. I may wish to make whoopie weeth you again," she winks with a smile.

Ace shyly smirks, he extends out a phone to her, "The family calling plan," he tells her. "J likes a hive communication network."

Sasha nods and takes it. She leans forward hoping to engage Ace in a kiss. He hesitates to look and make sure no one was watching. Satisfied that they weren't, he closes the distance and presses his lips to hers. He gets lost in her. So lost that the next thing he knows the Joker is behind him clearing his throat.

"Ace, would you mind removing your tongue from my sister's mouth so that I may tell her goodbye?" The Joker rasps.

Ace moves away, blushing in embarrassment. The Joker looks at Sasha, "I'm glad to have you as a sister. You and Jester look out for each other and find your way back to me safely, ok?" He asks her and leans in and embraces her.

"Dude, are we just gonna drive around in a stolen car all day?" Mark asks, "I'm getting hungry."
