Explosive princess

chapter 40

I was in the town again, undercover to check out a few things. I still felt like someone spied on me. My 1st stop was the old GCPD. By the time they brought the rubble away and now only the foundation walls were showing through the small heaps of dirt and sand. I went the streets down to the Wayne Tower, which was rebuild. But I could still see the result of the explosion and the fire. I couldn't help but felt like someone followed me. I turned around to see if there was someone, but I couldn't see anyone. I went down the street farther and stopped at a small and dark street. Suddenly my eyes were covered and something stinky was pushed on my mouth.

*Brad's POV*

It has been over 7 hours since Miss Alex left the house. I sent Paul and Allan in the city to look for her, but they came back without her. There were so many people, who could hurt, killed or kidnapped her. On the other hand she could have run away, but she wouldn't leave the house without Ripper. Something was wrong here.
I called some 'friends', who had their henchmen scattered across the city, but no one saw her. If the small fishes don't had her, the big one must have kidnapped or killed her. Since the Penguin was some sort of 'partner' from Joker I called him, but also he couldn't help me. I was worried and decided to talk to my boss. I knocked on his door and soon he replied. "Go away!" "Boss?" "What Brad?" I opened the door and stepped in. "We've got a problem..." "What Brad?" "The Boss lady is still away and no one saw her. I can't call her. Her phone is off." Joker looked up at me. "She's away?" "Yes." He stood up, walked along me and stepped into the corridor. "Rip?!" Immediately the wolf came running to us. "She wouldn't just go and away without Ripper.... This isn't good..."

Joker sent us all out to look in Alex, but we still couldn't find her. But there was one part of the city, where we didn't looked for her. Gotham Hill, the territory of Scarecrow. We went back to our hideout and I reported to Joker. "We went each street up and down. No hint of her. But there are some places we didn't looked for her. The hideouts of the big fishes and Gotham Hill." Immediately the expression of Joker changed. "The Hill?" He asked with a shaky voice. He knew what Scarecrow was capable of, he knew what his drugs did. "She can't be there...." He threw a glass against the wall behind me. "Go! Look for her there! Get the weapons and the vans! I'm coming with you!"
