A Foolish Grave

Chapter 13

Devyn's POV

"Ah! Shhh"I smirked,

His skin ran pale, beads of sweat balled on his head, eyes wide with a mix of shock, fear and confusion. In the corner of my eye I watched as his hand crept for the bell, I clicked the gun and he froze. I moved the bell away,

"Did you really think it would be that easy to kill me?"I whisper,

"I-I-"

"-shhh...quietly sweetheart"I grin,

"I shot you...ho-how are you not dead..? I saw you die!"He whispers,

"Bulletproof vest"I wink,

"The J-Joker is he here too...?"He gulps,

I shake my head and chuckle quietly, "Oh no, he doesn't know I'm alive yet"

"Th-then you could walkway...you co-could stop all this...."

"awh bless..."I pout,

"Pl-please Devyn.."

I push the gun harder to his head, "Shut up!"

He whimpers,

"Now tell me, if I leave you here alive...would you tell those nice officers that I'm alive?"

He shook his head frantically,

"Well, we both know that's a lie!"

"Th-they wouldn't believe me anyway...I-I-I told them...I said I saw the blood, I saw the bullet"

I pull the gun away slowly and he breathes a little bit,

"They truly think I'm dead huh?"

He nods, "yes.."

"I am sorry Jamie...but you did this to yourself"I snarl,

"W-what?!"

I press the gun to his temple, after adding the silencer and he whimpers,

"Goodbye Jamie."

I pull the trigger and it silently sends a bullet through his skull, cracking it open like an egg, all over the bed and walls. I shot one into his chest just to make sure. Quickly I tuck the gun into my waistband and wash my hands, cleaning myself up. Walking out I spot the officers, they turn to me,

"Just give him 5 minutes the morphine has given him a bit of confusion and I don't want him to get worked up and tear his stitches"I smile,

They nod at me, "Thank you nurse"

I grin and swiftly walk away and once out of sight run back to the bathroom to change back into my clothes. I bin the nurses' clothes and hop back into the batpod.

"You shot him didn't you..?"

"I got to him before Jack did"

He nods and I stare at him, "I thought you would be mad..?"

"No, I expected it and what other reason would you go see him for after he shot you?"

I nod, "fair enough"

"where now?"Bruce asks,

"The once place where Jack could be...my old apartment"

The engine roars as the tires spin, pulling away onto the streets.

Shane's POV

"Gordon?"The radio calls,

"What's the call?"He answers,

The radio crackles before- "we've got a 10-54 at Gotham General"

My eyes widen and Millie sits up,

"Please repeat"Gordon replies,

"confirmed 10-54 at Gotham General"

"A team is on its way"

Gordon nods at us and we stand up. Gordon throws a vest and a gun at each of us,

"You may need this, I think The Joker found Jamie"

"How do you know?"I ask, putting the vest on,

"Jamie's injuries were not severe enough after treatment to cause his death"

My blood runs cold. Me and Millie follow him down to the garage and get into the car. Gordon quickly speeds out onto the street, sirens blasting. My adrenaline rushes through me and it only gets worse when we pull up at the hospital, we are greeted with a doctor and a nurse. Gordon pulls out his ID badge; me and Millie follow,

"Commissioner Jim Gordon and these are my officers, Shane and Millie"

The doctor nods, "This way"

We follow him as Jim asks questions, "so do you know what happened?"

"Not exactly but we believe, from what the guarding officers have told us, there was someone dressed as a nurse that came in to see the patient and claimed it was for tests"

"and they didn't check their ID?"I ask,

"I'm afraid not"

Gordon nods at me, we stop by a door covered in police tape,

"you may go in...but just a warning, "The doctor says,

I watch as Millie gulps, Jim walks in first, followed by me and Millie. I gasp as I see Jamie lying on the hospital bed, head gaping open along with his chest, blood everywhere, the bed, the walls. Millie gags and runs into the toilet,

"You think the Joker did this?"I sigh,

Gordon frowns, "I'm not sure"

"Why..?"

He turns to look at me, "Because if it were him I would have thought he would have been more brutal, not just two gunshots"

I look again and squint my eyes. Walking closer to the bed I see two hairs. Copper coloured and short,

"Gordon could you pass me some gloves?"

He nods and places a pair in my hands. Quickly putting them on I pick up the hairs,

"what is it?"He asks,

"two copper-coloured strands of hair...short"

"Okay...?"He frowns,

"When I saw Devyn again a couple of days ago she had bob length hair, copper colour..."

Jim's eyes widened,

"so you're trying to say Devyn was here?"

I shrug, "I don't know, can we run tests on these?"

Jim nods and helps me place them in a bag to take to the lab. I help Millie back to the car and she falls asleep on my shoulder, her skin pale.

"I think this is too much for her Jim..."

"I know...but she wouldn't listen to us if we stod her to go home anyway"

"Yeah...I know..."I sigh,
