I can't believe it, she again falls back in her own world. She just found the way out of it, now she is scared and hiding herself. She is the innocent in person I can't let her suffer like this.

"Who is he?" The King asked her again.

I can't tell him, he won't believe me. I haven't lied to him, I have ousted it completely out of my mind. They said obey, I obeyed. They said follow, I followed them. They said bend down, I bended. I can't go back I don't want to be caged again.

"King don't go behind him." She was crying.

King shook his head, "you won't tell me? Not after what I told you. I'm not going to sent you away, but if you don't trust me then you..."

He stood up in anger and left from there, wearing his robe he come down, Doll was holding her knees close to her body. She was crying bitterly.

King looked at Tony, "someone called me, I have no idea how he get to my number, but he has frighten the hell out of Doll, who has turned back to the weak and manipulative woman."

Tony took his mobile phone, "someone called you, it is the last caller of the calling list. The number is unknown, what he said?"

King wasn't listening to Tony, his anger was high. How could you not trust me? Why aren't you telling me everything I need to know! How will I be able to help you or anyone else?

Tony placed his hand on the shoulder of the King, "give her time, if this man has frighten her then it must be reasonable."

King nods, "but she could tell me and share with me. I have shared with her too." He was broken his voice was an indicator.

Doll wipes her tears away, she was heartbroken not about the call, but about the anger of King. He has lost his trust, something he wouldn't give to anyone easily. She stood up and wore her clothes, she comes down and saw him talking with Tony.

"I have no idea how he get to my number, but he has good connections otherwise, how could he reach me?" King was thinking, "I wonder who he is?"

Doll took a deep breath, "he calls himself Joker!"

They looked at her, "what!" They said in union, King and Tony shared a look both were nervous and shocked.

"Doll!" He made a fist, "you sure he calls himself Joker?"

Doll comes down, she hold his tighten hand, she opens it and intertwined her hand in his.

"King I'm sorry, but he really calls himself Joker, he is the one who is in charge of everything." Doll took a deep breath, "he calls me Beauty, he is the one who gave that 'nickname' to me. The other's are called gorgeous. He is the one who, uses everyone first, if he likes you." Doll rested her head on his shoulder, "you stopped me to speak further. I haven't kept a secret from you, I didn't lied either."

King was thinking, "Doll, he is the head of the organisation?"

Doll wasn't sure, "I really don't know, before we left the..." She was thinking, "King you call it hideout I called it home."

King looked at her, "a home?! That was not a home where you were caged and locked, this is a home, where you can breath and decided. There is a difference!" She placed her palm on his mouth, "Shh! Listen to me. When we left the hideout I have seen him last. He wasn't with us at the transition time."

King nods,"you know what Doll, I know that guy, he was here once." He has his own past with the joker.

Doll looked at him, "what really?" She shakes, but King hold her hand tightly, "yes, I know him."

"Back when I killed the man, who bought me, he come."

It was dark, I lived in my own house with the money I had stolen from the man.

I took my first job, I got famous after they found out about the murder.

A man come, he had a scar on his face, well it was his cheek, I didn't mind it, I went to him as he had called me.

"I'm here, what is the job!"

The man looked at me with disrespect, "hold on young man. Who are you?"

I shook my head in disbelief, "you have called me. I'm the killer."

He had smirked at me, the way he looked to me gave me a shiver, "boy you are not a killer, who thinks with his brain. You are just a pawn of other's, who will buy you for their dirty jobs. You don't have a name or an identity neither will you ever have one."

I hated him, but his words were true, I was a nobody, "really, then tell me, who are you?"

That moment, when he smiled, it was more as if the devil himself appeared in front of me, "I'm the joker. There is no one who can beat me."

I didn't understood it, how he could be happy to call himself the Joker, but I got to know why.

"Boy your job is to kill that man and abduct his wife, she will become my new queen. You know I give everyone a name."

I made a fist in anger, "I won't kill the man to get you his wife, she is free and happy. He cares for her and you, what would you do with her?"

He glared at me, "I will sell her like the other's, she will be do great work and will earn a lot of money with her figure."

I lost my control over my anger, I pushed him hard, but he didn't moved an inch, "I won't do that!" I shouted and he pushed me hard.

"See, you are not even strong enough to beat me. Who are you?"

I stood up, "I'm the king. I know why you call yourself the joker, because you think you can fool everyone and manipulate them, but not me. I won't be fooled by you. I won't let you do anything with her." I took my gun and pointed on him.

The joker laughed at me, "you won't be able to stop me, kill me and another one will raise."

"Fine! It doesn't matter how many of you will come! I will destroy you all!" I shot at him and he fallen backwards.

"You couldn't kill him, he is alive."

King shook his head, "no, he isn't I killed him, but like he said, even if he dies another will raise." He shouts and Doll frighten.

"There is always an opponent player, the joker and king are two big players we can't with neither without each other."

"If he comes then he won't be alone." Tony said.

King looked at Doll, "tell me what he did."

Doll holds his hand tighter, "he orders, he is the one who takes the decisions, who will be what and do what. I told you about the boy?"

King nodded, "yes, I remember."

"He did it to him, I was too scared to go against him, I couldn't understand why, but I understood Joker didn't cared of anything, he takes what he likes no matter about the cost."

Somewhere else

A big ship is shown, it was a cruise, a man with a scar was standing near the railing.

"I'm coming King, you have killed one, I know it, but he was weak. I'm not. I'm not just a joker I'm the Joker, who will make you feel the fear."

He laughed evilly.

King looked at Tony, "we need more men's and a better team of guards!"

Tony nodded, "24 hours and all will be done."

King looked at her, "from now on you won't hide anything from me anymore."

Doll nods, she kisses his cheek, "I won't. I promise you."
