I started walking to the house. It took me a few hours, but I got there. I went inside and no one was there again. I ate then laid down in my own bed.
I was so happy to be around all my stuff. Like pretty much everything in my room, and just this lifestyle in general.
I miss when it was just me and Jerome for that short amount of time. He was all mine, and there were no secrets between us, and it was much more simpler being just us rather than The Maniax.
I took a nap, then went in the living room to watch some TV. An hour or so later 'mom and dad' came home.
They came into the living room and didn't even see me til I stood up.
"Hey mom, dad, miss me?" I asked grinning.
They looked scared, which only caused my smile to grow.
"What's wrong? Didn't think I'd get out of Arkham so soon?" I asked.
Dave reached for the phone. I pulled out a knife and lunged at him, holding it against his throat, "no no.. no cops, no deaths, okay?" Jeannie nodded, as Dave choked out a yes.
I let go and pushed him towards the couch. "Sit, both of you" they did.
"So here's how its gonna work. You let me stay here at night's, make me food, you know do my laundry, let me use the truck, just like it used to be. If you end up pissing me off, or you call the cops or anything, you both die." I explained.
"And don't think that the cops can do anything about it, they can't. You know why? Cuz cops are dumb. They'll just put me in Arkham again, and the new guy who runs the place will just put me back out on the streets soon enough for me to come kill you." I said twisting the knife in my hand
I held out my hand, "Deal?"
They looked at each other then back at me, he shook my hand.
"Good" I said smiling.
I sat inbetween them and turned on the news.
There was something about a missing bus full of "monsters" from Arkham Asylum. And Hugo Strange is nowhere to be found. Then the camera cut out.
I checked the time and it was almost 10. I got up and walked away from them.
"I'll be back soon" I said.
I left the house and took the truck. I drove around the city. Around a half hour later of just driving, Jerome popped up in the passenger seat.
"I'll see you soon, doll" he said then was gone.
I swerved, because he scared the shit out of me.
No longer than a minute later, I was stopped at a stop sign and here comes a dark colored bus speed by followed by a bunch of cop cars.
I waited for them all to get through the stop sign then I followed them.
Whoever was driving the bus had ditched all the other cop cars except one. I parked about a block away.
They were going to play chicken, but Oswald and his little army shot up the car and the bus.
He went closer to the bus, and was yelling at Hugo. I couldn't believe who was standing behind him. It was Fish Mooney.
He fainted and the rest of his army ran, then Fish left.
I waited to make sure everyone was gone, and I was about to get out and see who was in the back of the bus.
Instead some old homeless lady beat me to it, and she opened the back.
There were all sorts of monsters pouring out of the bus. I couldn't see that well, I looked away for a few seconds.
