Mad Love

Chapter 17

I drove up to a large mansion, it was like a palace. I parked the car and got out, Nick followed and grabbed the rifle from the trunk. He then ran towards the back of the mansion and partially climbed through a window. He pulled himself out and ran back towards me.
"Mission accomplished." He smirked.
"I had to have YOU do that for me?"
He then strolled toward the front entrance and gave the security guard his fake name and winked at me as soon as he got in. I followed soon after but just as I got in I noticed a handsome man was staring at me. Being the relatively over confident girl that I was I approached him and tried to make my accent less noticeable. His name was Bruce Wayne and he was probably the owner of this castle of a house. It was practically begging me to blow it up. I stuttered on my fake name a tiny bit when I introduced myself but he didn't seem to mind even when I stuttered over not being old enough to drink. I then used an excuse to place the bombs in their proper places. I ascended a flight of stairs that led to a balcony that overlooked the main floor. Bruce Wayne was still in my sights and didn't seem to notice my long absence yet. I then reached up toward the ceiling and stuck a bomb to it, same with the other side. The final bomb was placed at the very back of the balcony. After my handiwork was done I hurried back downstairs and toward the band.
"Kick it up a notch will ya? It's a party! Not a funeral." I then made my way back to Bruce Wayne and saw that he was talking to a man who looked relatively familiar.
"Oh, there you are. Selina this is judge Castillo, he was just telling me about one of his trials that caused a lawyer to loose it and apparently...well, kill himself. Terrible isn't it?" My face fell. Was this the same intimidating strict judge that my brother had been telling me about before his case? Was this the same judge who was responsible for my brothers death?!
"Hello? Selina, Selina are you alright?" Bruce looked pretty concerned.
"What? Oh, yeah. I'm okay I was just thinking about how the music has seemed to pick up tempo. Maybe we should dance." I pulled Bruce along and we started to dance, I kept my eye out for Nick who would give me the signal for when I needed to take the detonator from him, put on my costume and makeup and set off the bombs.
"You know your really something else." Bruce said.
"Ha! You think so?"
"Your just so different! Its funny how we've never met."
"Yeah, funny." I sighed, remembering my brother and how we played together as kids. What would he think of me now? I would avenge him somehow. Just then Nick neared me and gave me the signal. I immediately stopped dancing.
"What's wrong?" Bruce asked?
"Oh, nothing. My boyfriend just called me over, it's nothing to worry about."
"You have a boyfriend?"
"Yeah, but we're in a rough spot right now so don't worry, you still have a chance." I smirked and winked at him. He chuckled in response.
"Hopefully we'll see each other again." He called out.
"Perhaps." I then ran toward Nick who handed me the detonator. I grabbed it and ran behind the tarp that would begin showing a slideshow in less than 15 minutes. Once hidden I took off the dress, pulled on the rest of my costume, and put on my boots. Then I pulled out my makeup that came with a little mirror and applied white powdery makeup and white foundation to my face and neck and put on black lipstick. I pulled my hair out of its bun and took out the bobby pins as well as the dress and placed it all in my satchel. I then grabbed the red spray paint can in one hand, detonator in the other and the rifle slung over my arm. I then waited for the lights to come up before the slide show so they would see my outline and what I had spray painted. I decided to start painting my name with the letters backwards so that people could actually read it and know who I was. Once I was done I waited some more. I wondered where Nick was and what his plan was once the joker got here. I didn't have much time to think about it because suddenly the lights came up and I could hear the gasps.
