"Get her!"

She ran and jumped over a garbage can missing a couple of Gotham citizens as she did so, she ran for her life as Harvey Bullock chased her through Gotham, she dodged the arms of two men who tried to catch her before cutting down a alley and climbing a fire escape up to the top of a building, she ran across the building and jumped over the gap between the two before heading to the next building.

One thing she has learned from Selina Kyle, always run, never get caught. She huffed as her feet finally slowed down when she thought Bullock was not following her, stopped at the edge of a building, she took the ham sandwich she'd stolen out of her jacket pocket, unwrapping the paper from it and she started to eat there on the rooftop, whether it went against her boss' words or not.

But shouts from down below made her have to repocket the sandwich before Bullock cuffed the teenager and sent her to Juvie. She hopped down onto a fire escape and ran down the steps, she jumped off the side and took back alleys to the destination she was heading to.

She ran until she reached a old building then stopped in front of it. It was left from the explosion on Gotham in the narrows, she gripped her small knife tightly as she walked into the building that looked like it was about to fall down. She carefully took the stairs that led down into the basement of the building.

She came to a door that was at the bottom, turning the handle to it she pushed the door open and walked in calling "Mister Zsasz?" in a small voice, still to this day Victor Zsasz scared her. Not only because he used to work for Carmine Falcone or a man named Oswald Cobblepot, but because of how he looked, he was scary now. He looked like a monster.

She took a breath "I have what you, uh, sent me for. Like every week" Ace called out into the darkness, a chill went up her spine when she got no answer "Should I just leave it on the floor?"A figure walked out of a door and straight towards her.

She froze in her spot, as she gripped her coat tightly, Victor Zsasz emerged from the shadows and looked down at her with a gaze that scared her.

Victor hasn't changed much in looks. But, what scared Ace was how deep he dug his tally marks into his skin, he dug them so deep that blood was still oozing from them, but not as much as it use to. When she first came toe-to-toe with Victor, he had killed ten men and dug tally marks into his skin, he had scared her then.

Almost as much as he scared her now.

Zsasz looked down, the tally marks on his nose and cheeks shining off the only light in the room which was over head. He gave a twisted smile "And what do you have for me today?" he asked as he crossed his arms, the torn jacket on his arms showing off the tally marks making her cringe "Something new? Or the same old thing you bring me every week?"

Her hands shook as she dug into her pockets and took out the foil wrapped sandwich she had almost ate earlier, she unwrapped it and brought out the sandwich, then took the top off of the sandwich.

Inside was a pink circle shaped pill. It made her nauseated just thinking about the poor soul who was going to take it, Zsasz needed a new tally mark each week. And if he couldn't take just one he would take a hundred. And his next victim was a rich man on the other side of Gotham, Zsasz knew he couldn't take him out inside the club he stayed out, so he needed help. He needed to knock him out, then get his tally mark.

Just being around Mister Zsasz made Ace cringe, shiver and get nervous. No wonder almost everyone stayed away from him, and no wonder the GCPD wanted Zsasz locked up in Arkham. He was just as crazy as the rest of them.

Zsasz looked down at Ace "Give my thanks to your boss. I will pay her back when the time is right" he said and took the sandwich her hands, he walked back into the darkness.

She looked to where he had gone and waited until the door was shut before running back up the stairs, one thing to know in Gotham. Never show fear, it can make things worse than it is.

She ran outside the building and headed back into the main street of Gotham, only to find Harvey Bullock and his partner against crime Vanessa Harper standing on the side of the road, Ace stopped completely and took off through a alley at a run.

Bullock had spotted her though and it made Ace run faster as Harvey yelled at her, as Bullock made his way into the alley, Ace jumped over a fence and hung her coat on a piece of the metal.

She cursed as she tried to rip her jacket off of the metal, Bullock laughed as he grabbed onto the fence "Oh, you have had it now you little-" as soona s Bullock had just gotten a leg over the top of the fence, Ace's jacket ripped and she was gone.

Bullock groaned "Damn it!" he yelled as he tried to grab her and fell off the top of the small fence, he landed on his back and rubbed his eyes as he looked up at the sky, how hard can it be to catch one small ....seventeen year old? He guess her age as he slowly got up off the ground and jogged towards where she had ran off.

But, Ace was long gone. She watched from a fire escape on a restaurant as Bullock made his way back to Harper and got in Bullock's car. Sighing with relief, she climbed up to the top of the building and smiled as she stretched her arms.

One thing about it, Bullock can put up a chase when he wants to. But, I will cut him some slack because of old age.
