Mad Love

Chapter 14

A bullet shot out of a window and just barely missed me, what the heck was going on in there?! The window glass shattered everywhere and I got cut by tiny shards of glass flying at me. I covered my eyes with my arm for protection and ran in, hoping I could assist the joker in any way. As soon as I uncovered my eyes I saw that I was on top of a large man who looked menacing enough, I immediately kicked him out from underneath me and was suddenly attacked by another set of men holding guns all pointed straight at me. I took a lot of gymnastics when I was younger and had just stopped taking it this year so it was pretty easy for me to leap up and flip over one of the guys. I then grabbed the other man and kicked him so hard that he flew back into one of the file cabinets, causing some of the shelves to fall on top of him thus knocking him unconscious. The last man whom I had flipped over early suddenly came up behind me and grabbed me, holding me above his head. His knee was out and I then realized what he was going to do to me. My back was about to get snapped in half if I didn't do something, anything! I struggled to get out of his hold, but he was much stronger than I was. I closed my eyes waiting and anticipating the pain, but it never came. I heard the sound of a gunshot and I was dropped from my untimely doom. The jokers gun was still pointed where the man had stood before falling to the ground as the bullet pierced his heart. I was still a bit shaken as I tried to sit up, my entire body was shaking. I hadn't noticed that all of the jokers henchmen had come into the room and surrounded me. All of they're faces had a look of shock, even the joker who had a small smirk that turned into the biggest smile I've ever seen, all eyes were on me.
"Where'd you learn to fight like that?" The henchman named nick whom I had met an hour earlier asked. I couldn't get my words out, I was so shocked at what I had done, I didn't even know I could do that.
"That was amazing!" One of the men said. They all started talking amongst themselves seeming pretty excited. The joker walked towards me and offered me a hand. I took it and stood up with his assistance.
"We'd better be on our way. Take out the trash while your at it, will ya boys?" The joker led some of his men back to the cars out front. A few stayed back to deal with the short man who wore a face of shock, sitting in a chair behind a desk. I hadn't even noticed him, he must've been the guy joker had his 'meeting' with. I followed the two men who were dragging the short man down the staircase and had already tied him up. They then dumped him in an alley and left toward the cars. I stayed back and looked down at the man whom I didn't even know the name of yet. I then kicked him in the stomach and ran off towards the cars, laughing as I did so. Doing this kind of stuff gave me such a rush!
