Joke's On Us

Gone Girl Gone Again?:Harley pov

Joker, Ivy, Al and I were driving down to a club in Arkham. Joker was going to buy it. Al set up meetings with guys that were suitable to be Joker's henchmen. Joker stopped the car directly in front of the club. We all got out and Joker slugged his arm around my shoulders. "Time to buy our first nightclub honey." I smiled at him. He was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. His fluorescent hair was slicked back and the black makeup around his eyes was so dark you'd have thought he had pits for eyes.

He loves the game. He doesn't love you. He loves power.

I growled at the voices. "What did they say?" Joker whispered to me, his lips pressed to my ear.

"Nothin much." Joker opened his mouth to say something else but Ivy jumped in.

"Hey I'm gonna go drink. Come get me when it's all done." With a wave of her hand she dismissed herself.

"Boss, the current owner is waiting over in that booth." Al pointed to an empty red booth with gold drapes hanging to the side. An Asian man sat there holding a bedazzled walking stick and wearing a white suit. Joker kept his arm around me as he walked to the booth.

"Please do sit down." The man said but we were already sitting.

"I'll be right here boss." Al said and stood to the side.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Decha. "

"Power." I whispered.

"That's what it means." Decha said laughing.

"This is Harley Quinn and I am well you can call me Mr. J."

"Of course, Mr. J. Nice to finally meet you both. I've heard so much about you two. So I'm told you're interested in buying my place?"

"That's right." Joker said and put his tattooed hand up to his mouth laughing his infamous laugh. I studied Decha. He was about thirty or so and he had a long mustache. "I have 50 grand in pocket. I'm willing to pay 70 total because I see how much business this place brings. " Joker tilted his head and Decha placed his hand on his chin.

"That's a good price. But you're Joker."

"That's Mr. J to you." Joker leaned in looking serious. Decha paused. "Hahaha I'm only kidding. But you should still apologize."

"I am very sorry Mr. J." Decha said bowing his head.

Joker got up and went around the booth to put his hand on Decha's shoulder. "Oh I can tell you meant that." Joker smiled and I laughed. He was toying with the guy.

"So uh do we uh have a uh deal?"

"That 'UH' depends.. 50 or 70 grand?" Joker mocked Decha and I laughed more.

"50 for you Mr. J." Joker smiled wide. "I'll be back with the keys if you'll excuse me." Joker moved out of the way.

"Are you gonna change the name Puddin?" I asked leaning on the table on my elbows.

"Yessss that's a good idea Harl." Joker sat next to me once more and I felt heat radiating off his body. He had his gold suit jacket and black pants on today with a maroon button up shirt. Decha came back dangling a circle of keys and dropped it on the table. Joker looked to Al who placed the envelope of money on the table. Decha counted the money.

"Pleasure doing business with you Mr. J. I leave it all to you now." Before Decha walked away he handed his cane to Joker who smiled when he took it.

"We have two hours before the first candidate comes in." Joker said to me. "Al, go get us drinks please." Al nodded and headed to the bar. "You're so beautiful." I looked down at myself. I had on a short black and gold diamond shape sequence dress that dipped low on the neckline. I also wore two chucky rings and three watches on my arm. My hair was curled and my makeup was its usual.
