Are you insane like me? 《 Jerome Valeska 》

[ the circus ]

Rachel POV

It's been two week since the accident and I felt much better. Jerome visited me everyday but something changed. He was quieter. My mother suggested to me to do a internship. And now I'm at the GCPD because this was the only thing I wanted to do. I was there the whole week and now finally I had some free time. But Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock were really friendly. I woke up really late it was 12 o'clock. I took my phone and saw that Jerome still hadn't answered my messages. I felt that something was wrong. I walked down the stairs as my mother asked. "Hey Rachel, do you want to go to the circus today?" I smiled and said "Yes, of course" Maybe I would see Jerome there. "Ok, we a go at 8 p.m" I nodded. The rest of the day is just listened to music, watched some movies or called Alice. It was 8 p.m and we drove to the circus. As we arrived we got our tickets and walked into the tent. I looked for Jerome all the time, but he wasn't here. As we sat down I saw Jim Gordon with his girlfriend, I waved at him and he waved back. The show started and it was incredible. The show was already over as clowns came in. But suddenly the clowns begun to fight. They were fighting for about a few seconds until Jim stood up and screamed "GCPD!!" As he had the situation under control he walked down into the manege and talked to the clown. I followed him. "Why did they fight?" I asked him. "They said because of a snake dancer named Lyla Valeska" Lee, Jim's date, said. "I know her" I said, but my memory's of her are not the best. "Oh do you know where she lives?" Jim asked and I nodded. Jim, Lee and the ring master followed me to the trailer. Jim knocked at the door, as Jerome came out and looked at me. He smiled over his whole face as I ran to him and hugged him. "Babe I missed you so much" he whispered into my ear. "I missed you too ginger" I whispered back. As he pulled me away but he held my hand. "Can we speak with Lyla?" Jim asked with a serious look. "She's not here. Why?" he said while he put on his coat, and took my hand again. "Are you related?" Jim asked super serious. "I'm her son, Jerome" he said careful.
"Jerome, they are here because some clowns fight while the show. Lyla is certainly out again." the ring master explained. "without her handbag and her coat?" Jerome asked worried. "Look at Sheba she's restless, she know that something bad happened." Jerome pointed at Sheba who sat in her cage. "How fast are snakes?" Jim asked. "Fast speed, I think" Jerome said nervous. "Let her out" Jim said serious. "What?" I asked. "I said let her out" He repeated. Jerome walked to the cage and opened it he took Sheba out of the cage and put her on the ground, he walked back to me and I held his arm super strong. He smiled at me. We followed the snake who was moving through the trailers. After a few seconds she got under a tarp. Jim walked to the tarp and threw it away. Under the tarp was Lyla's dead body covered in blood. Jerome felt to ground and begun to cry. I felt next to him and hugged him and he hugged me back. Yes she was a whore but no one deserves the death. "I'm so sorry" I whispered into his ear. He just cried into my shoulder. I felt so bad for him. Now he has nobody. Except me.
