Joker's Ace (sequel to Joker's weakness)

Chapter 7: I bet

Bruce hasn't been back for a long time. I was actually starting to worry. I laid on my bed playing on my phone. Every time I hear a even a little noise I look over to my balcony door to make sure it's still closed. I can't believe Joker just appeared in my room like that. It scared the shit out of me. I don't know how he got up on the second floor. I've calmed down about Joker wanting to kill me. If he was going to do it he probably would of done it by now. All the times he told me he wouldn't he sounded truthful. He could just be a good lier. Like me.

There was a knock at my door. "Come in." I say. Bruce came in. "I told the police and like always they are doing everything they can to find Joker." He said. "Okay." I replied. "How did he kidnap you?" He asked. "I just came into my room and there he was." I replied. "Okay. I'll be in to check on you." He said then left. Maybe I shouldn't lie. I'm making it worse for Joker. Wait why do I care. Never mind they can catch him for all I care.

I look back to my phone. It said I had one new message. I open the message app and look at the text Joker sent me. [call me] it read. I sighed. But I don't want to. I wonder what he'd do if I just ignored him. Probably kill me. I call him. It ringed for a few then he answered. "Ace I need you to meet me where we where last time when me and batman had a little fight at 10:00." He told me. "What will we be doing?" I asked. "I'll tell you when you get here." He said then hung up.

It was such a long walk last time. I'm only working with him because I'm to afraid to say no. I wonder if anyone said no to him before. Probably it's just they died right after. I look at the time on my phone. It was 9:15. It's going to take me awhile to get there so I should probably leave soon. I don't want to be late. I wouldn't want to piss him off. I walk downstairs. The lights where off so I'm pretty sure they where asleep. I open the door and take a long walk.

When I got there it was only 9:42. I sit down and leaned on a wall. I wonder what we are doing. It started sprinkling ran. Great. I get up and check my phone. It was suddenly grabbed from my hand. I didn't think twice before I punched the person in the stomach. It would have been fine if the person wasn't Joker. But it was. He held his stomach. "Oh my gosh I'm sorry." I said. He looked so pissed. Like he wanted to hit me back. He handed me back my phone. "It's fine I guess I shouldn't of taken your phone." He said. I was seriously expecting a hit back or at lest him yelling at me.

"What are we going to do?" I asked. "Have fun." He replied. What's his definition of fun? Kill people? "Um what do you do for fun?" I asked. He thought for a second then he looked a crossed the street. "You see that jewelry store? I bet that you can't rob it without getting caught." He said pointing to a store across the street. "I think I would get caught I haven't done it hundreds of times like you have." I replied. "I've done it a few times it isn't hard." He said. This is his definition of fun? Well better then killing people I guess.

"How about something easier? Like that pet store." I said looking over to the pet store next to the jewelry store. "You want to steal a pet?" He asked. "Yeah." I replied. "Fine I bet you can't steal a dog without getting caught." He said. "Let's make this interesting. You rob the jewelry store and if you can without getting caught I'll do anything you want me to do. But if you do get caught I quit working with you." I told him. "Ok and if you don't get caught I'll quit bothering you forever. But if you do you'll have to live with me and still work with me." He said. I hope I don't get caught. I hope he does. "Ok." I said. We walked across the street. "Do I just brake the glass and take the dog?" I ask him. "Whatever you want." He replied.

I looked around for something to brake it with. "Here." Joker said. He took out a gun and pointed it at the window. "Are you ready?" He asked. I nodded my head. He shot the glass and it broke into pieces. I went in threw the broken window and as soon as I stepped in a alarm went off. The dogs in there pens started barking. "Better hurry." Joker said. I looked around and picked up a cute puppy Pomerania. He had Black and tan fir. Like a fluffy Rottweiler. I herd the other alarm go off next door. I walk out of the window with my dog. I already heard sirens from the distance. I look into the jewelry shop. "Better hurry." I said mocking him when he said it.

After about a minute seen the police car come around the corner. "Joker!" I say. He came out and handed me some jewelry. "Here hold this." He said. He even put a necklace around the dogs neck. "Now what?" I asked. He quickly went to the side of the building and jumped the fence. He looked back at me. "Come on." He said. As I was just about to hand him the dog I heard a gun cock. "Don't move!" A police officer yelled. "Run." I whispered to Joker. "Slowly turn around and put your hand up!" Other officer said. I turn to them but only put one hand up since I was holding the dog up with the other. "Put the dog down." A cop said. I slowly put the dog down. Well this is it. He won.
