Sweet But Psycho // Jerome Valeska

I will find you

"Who says I live on the streets?" I say quietly.

He puts his hand on my cheek pulling me close and smiling that million dollar smile.

Then he whispers, "It's obvious dollface," he continues, "ragged clothes, un-brushed hair, staying outside past 10. Its dangerous out there. Some murderer could get ya!" He laughs histaricly while leading me down the stairs and out of the building.

Where is he taking me?

"Your probely wondering where I'm taking you."

I just stare at him waiting for him to continue.

"Well since you asked! Im taking you to my place." He says enthusiastically.

Why? Why would this man possibly want to take a street kid home?

"Come on gorgeous!" He yells.

I noticed I stopped walking. Quickly I ran over to him were as he had his hand streched out for me to take, which I did.

We have been walking for a while when I start to notice we are out of the narrows and are in the rich part of town.

Its still snowing but now the wind has picked up making it colder.

"We better hurry love, its gettin' purdy chilly." He says in my ear.

Which by the way made me feel warmer because of the body heat rading off him.

We were almost there when sirens started getting closer.

"Jerome Valeska! Let go of the girl and put your hands in the air where I can see them!" The officer yells.

"Great." He mumbled under his breath. "Baby, I've gotta run but I will find you again." He said kissing my cheek.

"Sorry Jimbo! Maybe next time!" Jerome yells before disappearing into the cold night.

"Crap! Not again!" The officer screams.

"Grab the girl she might have information on were jerome might be heading." The officer says. He has a short hair cut and looks tierd.

"Got it." The other officer yells back at his partner. He had long hair with a beard.

"Hey Jim were ya going?" He yells putting me in the back of a cop car.

Jim? As in Jim Gordon? Dang. I'm in for it big time.
