" your safe now" john said
"Yeah almost home" i said turning the block noticing a town car parked outside my apartment building.
"I gotta go stay safe" i said hanging the call
I walked carefully by when i noticed mary step out.
She was the spitting image of my dad.
She smiled when she saw me.
"Aunt mary what are you doing here?" I asked walking into her outstreached arms
Sh hugged me.
"Darling its time to go home i beleive your going to be off for awhile for that incident at the hospital" she said still holding me
"Yeah i guess "
She let go and fixed her jacket.
" i got some business  in new york and i figured it was time to show you the ropes"
"My dad tried, i refuse to do so" i said
"Samantha if you refuse so i have to teach ben and that something i rather not, he so emotional " she said
"I will go but it be a vacation, spa and shopping no work for me" i said
"Look, if you dont like it, it be the last just come with me." She said getting in the back.
"Let me go and get some things" i said walking up
"Donovan can come" she said
"No i said i go i rather pack bymyself" i said stopping him
"Fine you got an hour" she said
I nodded and walked up.
I opened the door and there was joker out of his nurse uniform  and back into his joker outfit.
"Hey joker " i said putting my bag down
"Looks like your aunt is here" he said sitting on the couch
"Yeah im leaving for new york" i said going to the kitchen emptying  the milk down the drain.
"I figured you go back to that life " he said with no emotion
"Are you okay?" I asked walking halfway to the kitchen
"Yes dollie im okay why you ask?" He said still not looking at me
I shrugged and went in my room.
I heard him follow.
"We both leaving not seeing this bed again" he said
"Why whats up?" I said grabbing my journal and brush with other needs and shoving into  a bed.
" im going away for a long time" he said
I looked at him," your allowing yourself to get caught" i said looking at him
"You was always the smart one" he said smiling
" why?"
"To prove my point to this city" he said sitting down on the bed
"You'll get out" i said knowing that place
"Maybe, maybe not" he said laying back
While i packed the last of my bag i put it by my bedroom door.
"Joker, why did you pick me?" I asked one more
"Pick you, you not special?"
He was playing with his thumbs.
I grabbed something from my bottom of my drawer. It was a photo.
I laid it on the dresser and looked up.
"I guess this is goodbye" i said
"No"
"No?"
"Your always will be mine" he still laying on the bed but had his head facing me.
"Sure joker" i said
I went around unpluging things, it was a fear of burning down.
" im ready now joker, i gotta lock up. " i said headimg the door.
I heard him in the bedroom.
Everything off and locked up beside my window and door.
He walked into view of my doorframe.
"Guess i see you later." He said putting his coat on.
"Joker , you was right" i said trying to make him feel better
He smiled and seemed to perk up.
"I always am samantha" he said
"If your ever in new york, just incase you break out before im back, come look me up." I said walking towards him
"Maybe" he said wrapping his arm around my waist while grabbing my wrist with the other.
He kissed me but stopped and but his face into my neck and pulled away.
"Jasmine " he said
I felt tears," gunsmoke"
With that he was out my window. I locked it and closed the curtains.
I grabbed my bags and walked out after locking it i was down the hallway.
I grabbed my phone, and left messages to lisa and john explaining where i be. I saw my  aunt hechman outside waiting by the car.
I gave him all my bags before opening the door. I looked at my window of my apartment  for the last time for awhile.

I read the article on how he was captured. I hardly talk to john. Lisa been bothering me because school been out for awhile and she thinking of getting married  during it.
