"Shh your going to wake her." A voice said. I opened my eyes to see I wasn't in my bed. I was in the back of a van. It was hard to see. It must have been still dark out. "Look what you did Blade." One guy said. "She was going to awake up sooner then later." The other replied. "Where am I and who are you?" I asked. "I'm Twitch and this is Blade. We are taking you to our boss." Twitch said. "Joker?" I asked. They nodded there heads. "Oh hell no." I said as I stood up. One of them where about to hit me but the other stopped him. "Boss said not to touch her." Twitch said. I grabbed the gun that was next to me and pointed it at them. "Stop the car." I told them. "Why'd you leave your fucking gun next to her?" Blade asked. "I didn't think she'd wake up." Twitch replied. "We aren't going to hurt you." Blade said. "I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about Joker hurting me. Now stop the car." I told them.

Blade tried grabbing the gun but I shot his hand. "Fuck! Little brat!" Blade yelled. "I'm not fucking around." I told them. I really wasn't I'm going to do anything to get me away from Joker. Blade held his hand in pain. "We can't let you go. Boss told us to get you." Twitch said. I shot the person driving in the back. Twitch grabbed the wheel of the car. I opened the back of the van. I didn't care how fast we are going I jumped. I hit the pavement hard. I got up grabbing the gun despite the pain. I start walking as fast as I can away from the van. The van was still driving away from me. Thank god. I put the gun away. After a small while of walking I sat down. Sitting down for a quick break in a nasty ally isn't one of my best ideas. I don't know where I am. I have never been in this part of Gotham. I wish I had my phone. It started raining a little.

From the far side of the ally I seen a black figure. Maybe it was Joker. No. Batman maybe? Oh almost forgot Bruce was batman and he was probably sound asleep right now like I should be. The figure came into the light. It was neither. I instantly recognizance him from the news on T.V. He's a infamous mob leader. Salvatore Maroni. I was expecting more people but it was just him. "Lost?" He asked with a smirk. "Um yeah." I replied. I got up and brushed myself off. "Where are you coming from?" He asked. I hesitated before I replied. "Well I was going to Joker's house." I told him. His smirk faded. I'm pretty sure they don't like each other. "You know him?" He asked. "Sadly I do." I replied.

"Oh I seen you on T.V you worked with him but you got caught and sent to Jail. How'd that work for ya?" He said. "Joker helped me escape." I told him. "Hmm you see, I would help you but I don't know if you know this but me and Joker aren't the best of friends." He said. "Well neither are Joker and I." I replied. "Why's that?" He asked. "Because he ruined 14 years of my life." I said. "Since we both aren't on good terms with Joker I'll make a deal with you. If you tell me where his little hide out is I'll help you find your way home." He told me. "I can't. I know he ruined my life but if he ever figured out I told you where he's at he'd kill me." I replied. "Okay, I was hoping that we'd do this the easy way. But I guess not." He said then took about a knife from his pocket.

People and their knifes I swear. "Kill me if you want but that won't help you find him." I told him. I'm not one to beg for my life. Maybe if it was worth living I would. He swiftly pushed the knife through my side. "I love when people tell me to kill them thinking I won't. It makes me want to do it even more." He leaned in close to my ear. "By the way I'm not going to kill you. I'm gonna leave you to die." He said then pulled the knife out and started walking away. I held my sides with my hands. Blood was all over them. I sat on the ground leaning on the wall. I grabbed the gun from my pocket and pointed it at Maroni as he walked away. "Maroni!" I say with all my strength. He looked back at me. I shot the gun. Then it went all black for me.
