Chapter 4

„The first thing you have to do is to be in the same place at the same time as him". Jim looks down at his watch. „He'll be in a kind of abandoned part of Gotham City in 20 minutes".

„Alright then. Let's go". "Wait. You need to change first. We've got an outfit for you" Bullock says. Bullock leads me to a room in the GCPD, showing it to me. The outfit in question is a skin tight, black long sleeve Top, jeans and a black, long leather coat.

I get changed into the outfit. While doing so I notice that there is a gun in one of the pockets of the leather coat. I unlock the room and walk out, seeing that Gordon and Bullock were already waiting for me.

I approach them and we make our ways outside into Jim's car. He drives off. „So...how should I approach him? What should I say?". Bullock and Gordon take a few seconds to think of an answer. „Just think of something, I guess. You'll manage. We believe in you" Bullock answers. I roll my eyes.

Jim parks his car a good few meters away from the building where Jerome was so that we won't draw any attention to ourselves. „Remember, if you need something or you get yourself into trouble give us a sign. We will stay here". I nod. „I only need to make him like me. That's it?" I ask. They both nod.

I sigh before turning around and walking towards the building. As I reach the entrance I slowly walk inside, analyzing the place. I hear someone in the building but can't make out what the person is doing or saying.

I spot some stairs leading to the second floor of the building. I quietly walk to and up the stairs. As I hear the person coming closer I get out the gun I have in my pocket, in case I need it.

„...we will have great fun together". I hear someone speak and laughing right after. The laugh sends a shiver down my spine. It sounds like it comes from a pure maniac.

I finally reach the second floor but I don't see anyone. „Seems like we have a guest...". I quickly turn around, tightening my grip on the gun.

There are four citizens being held captive. They are all bound to a chair and have their mouths covered with some sort of tape. They look terrified. Then I saw him...

My eyes widen in shock. I freeze. I can tell that he feels the same. As soon as he sees me his smile fades and he goes completely silent. „It's you..." is all I manage to get out. His face turns serious and angry.

He tries to calm himself and smiles, his eyes still widened. „What a lovely surprise..." Jerome says. I'm still frozen. I don't know how to react. He starts coming closer.

I shoot at him without hesitation but he avoids the bullet. He gets out a knife and locks his eyes with mine. His eyes are full of anger and madness. He runs towards me.

I run down the stairs and try to shoot him while doing so. I miss again. He launches himself at me and tries to slit my throat. „Fuck off!" I scream at him.

I take him by the arm and throw him on the ground, stomping on him. He cuts my leg with his knife but it wasn't very deep. I groan in pain. He tries to pull me on the ground too but I kick his arm away and try escaping the building.

He does that creepy laugh again and an evil smirk forms on his face. „Get back here!". He stands up, grabs his knife again and goes after me.

I was faster than him. I left the building and I run back to Bullock and Gordon. He recognizes that they are cops and starts to flee the scene.

Gordon and Bullock see me running back to them. „How did it go, y/n?" Harvey said curious. I have an angry expression on my face. „If I had known that it was him I would have never agreed on doing this!". They look confused. „What's the matter?" Jim asked.

„...he tried killing my father and me multiple times when we were younger!". Jim and Harvey seem to be caught off guard. „What? Your father never told me that. Neither did you" Jim responds.

„I never found out his name so I didn't recognize him by it. But it's him! He killed his mother right?" I ask. They both nod. „He killed her because she was 'a drunken whore' and slept with a lot of different men. Well guess what...My dad was one of them and apparently he didn't like that at all".
