The Jokers Love

Stop This Madness

Chapter 18

I stared at J and he raised an eyebrow, "staring is very rude" and he smiled his devilish grin. I scoffed, "I was only shocked about how smart you actually are. I don't understand how you came to this." The voice in my head spoke up, 'well how did you come to this?' I looked down at the sidewalk. She's right. I don't want to be this way. But I'm wanted by the police, by Gotham, by Batman. J looked at me, "you know what, I'm starting to wonder that myself," he laughs hysterically, "but no one really knows how anything happens, do they?" He stops laughing and looks at me seriously, "do you know what happened to you?" I raise my eyebrow then frown, "honestly...no I-I don't" he lifts my chin to face him, "you let go of your fears, and you became who you always wanted to be. All you needed was a little...push!." He pulled my gun out of the holster he bought me last night and emptys all the bullets but one, "I'm that little push." he spins the barrel and holds it up to his head and pulls the trigger. I flinch, although nothing happened, "what are you doing?!" He pulls it again, "isn't this what you wanted? For me to die? Thats your push to keep living this way. You have nothing else because of me." He pulls it again, its only a six round gun. By odds he had 1/6 chances of getting shot but now he's down to three bullets I start to worry a bit. As much as I hate to say it. But he pulls it again, "you know the funny thing?" He has a 1/2 or 50/50 chance now if he pulls the trigger again, "what?" I cross my arms. He puts the gun unded his chin, "you flinch everytime I pull the trigger" He pulls it again. I haven't realized I've been even reacting to it till now. He puts the gun up to his head one last time. The bullet has to be in this one. He pulls the trigger, "No!" I screech in a high pitched voice. The voice in my head. He smirks at me and opens the barrel of the gun. There were no bullets in it at all, "I knew you had a thing for me, dollface" he laughed and I smacked him as hard at I could. He glared at me and pulled out his switch blade and held it to my cheek, "do you wanna look just like me? Do ya!? I can do it for you! All nice and neat!" He smiles, I smirk and put the blade in my mouth, "do it" I mudder almost cutting my tongue on the blade. I begin to push his blade toward the left corner of my mouth and it just nicks my skin causing a drop of blood before he pulls the blade out quickly. I smile, "lets get this bank robbery over with." He stares at me and then snaps back to reality, "Alright, this way my lady," he motions towards the entrance to the bank. We are in uniform and we each have our own hand guns. Jokers carrying a sack of granades, people think its a sack of money from the money transport van. I rush torward the stairs to the roof, a woman stops me, "can I help you?" I look at her, "just doing my job, ma'am"

She shrugs and steps aside, "be quick" I nod and continue turning to the Joker giving him the signal to chain the front doors. As I run up the stairs I hear a gun shot. I make it to the roof and find the power box, I input the second code, 667092134, shutting off the security system and the third code, 121487704, shutting off the power. Since they were on two different lines I had to shut both down. After I finish I head back down stairs where J is takeing everyones phones and giveing them a granade. So they can't do anything with their hands, "all set?" I ask him with a grin. He nods and smirks, "to easy..." we go to the safe and I enter the last code, "884535488.." I say out loud as I punch it in. The safe unlocks and we start bringing the sacks of money into the main loby of the bank.

I flinch as I hear police sirens outside the door, "FUCK! How did they know!?" I look at J, "didn't you take their phones?" He looks around a sees a woman with a baby holding an old flip phone, he walks up to her, "you think you're slick?" He shoots her in the head, "She had a fucking baby!" I schold. He looks at me, "his mother was a bitch!" I pick the baby up and wipe the blood from his face and hand him to a lady with an older son, "keep him safe... Jokers a dick sometimes..."

'I can agree with that. HAHA!'

Joker glares at me, "common at least I didn't kill the baby! HAHA" he laughs.

"COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP" Joker laughs, "NAH WE'RE GOOD IN HERE, THANK YOU THOUGH! " I watch him. The police speaks again, "LEGENCY, YOU'RE GOOD! YOU DON'T NEED TO STOOP THIS LOW! PLEASE STOP THE MADNESS" Joker grabs me by the neck and puts me to the window holding,  a gun to my head I don't panic. I know he wouldn't kill me. But I play along, "n-no! Please don't shoot! H-he'll kill me!" I Look at the cops with 'fear' in my eyes. Joker laughs knowing im playing along and he grins looking down at me, "oh such a pretty girl, pretty, pretty, pretty girl!" The cop speaks, "JOKER, LET HER GO!" Joker laughs again, " oh no, no, no. No I can't do that! She's just to. much. fun. Now, how this is gonna work is, you're all gonna move, and let us leave...or, you all die! Your choice!" The cops look at eachother then at us again, "WE'RE NOT LEAVING WITHOUT THE GIRL" Joker shrugs, "suit yourselfs!" He pulls out a detonator and pushes a button causing the money van parked right out front to blow up. The cops fly backwards. He pulls me back out of the way, and a school bus backs into the bank.
