Chapter 41: Police

Jokers P.o.v.

The camera stopped rolling and I felt utter adrenaline rush through my veins for the first time in what felt like months. The news that I was waiting for had not been delivered yet and every second that went by was making me sick to my stomach. I made my way over to the small dressing room the crew had assembled and changed into something more comfortable for me to wear. Suits are nice and all but they can be annoying to work with in these situations. A shaky staggered breathe escaped my mouth at the sight of a tall man walking towards me.

The man was holding an envelope and had stopped walking towards me and handed the white paper envelope to me, which I then handed back to the man "you read it". The tall slender man read over the paper line by line and looked back towards me wearily. Earlier in the day my team had set up a camera in _______'s house  to capture her reaction and confirm whether or not she would come back, now only the paper would confirm if this was all for nothing. 

"what does it say?" one of the crew members asked slightly worried at the fact that I was just staring at the paper in his hands. "It would appear that ______ is coming home" I had to steady myself "Really?" I raised an eyebrow surprised that my plan had actually worked. The man nodded with a smile and I stood up as fast as I could, snatching the paper from his grip. My eyes scanned the words and I couldn't help but let my signature smile return "well I guess this means I better get ready" I grinned before cleaning myself up once more. 

I couldn't contain myself as I walked around the room changing and singing as I searched for a different suit that wasn't dirty and more fitting for the occasion. Once I had found the perfect suit I laid it out on my bed and quickly rushed down to the bottom floor to thank the man we had previously detained for the cameras. Although he was way too scared to even reply I gave him a nod and he was taken care of after I left the room once more.

20 minutes had passes and I hadn't heard anymore news about _______. Something wasn't right, she said she was going to be here. Right on cue my phone rang and _______'s voice spoke through "Hey J" I could feel the tingling in my hands the moment her voice whispered in my ear. "your still coming right?" I sounded desperate but id be lying if I said I wasn't, just her voice is enough to intoxicate me "we have a problem, theres a massive man hunt over you and I cant get into the building. its being blocked off". Just like that anger washed over me, after all this planning to get my girl back and its being ruined by some low lives who want to put me back into Arkham. 

Shaking my head I could hear the sound of sirens echoing floors below me, my own personal entourage maybe. I guess the people in just really love me, my sarcasm has reached new levels with the amount of frustration the public gives me. I followed the sound of the sirens over to my balcony and peered down at the sea of flashing red, white and blue lights. I cant bring ______ here, I walked away from the chaos below, following the direction of the hallway down to the elevator that would take me to the garage. The garage was dimly lit and a musky smell wafted throughout the confined space.

It was a short journey down to the underground level. I had to evacuate the building as quickly as possible, leaving my men to fend for themselves and destroy the building as soon as I left. I cant have the police tracking me because ultimately I know that _______ will be put into Arkham again as well. with a jolt and a flood of rage I stomped on the exhilarator and sped out from the garage and onto the backroads behind the building. 

I watched as the riot squad had arrived and began to enter the building. Bullets sprayed the bottom floor and I could see people smashing windows and breaking down doors. Nothing ever goes smoothly in my life and im starting to get a little shitty about it. That is my Building and they are destroying it like vicious, desperate animals. They cant do that! thats my thing! with a sigh I looked back at the building one last time before driving further into the city in order to escape the masses of police.

As I drove down the street I called ________ one last time on the phone before driving into a small motel in the heart of the city. "joker what happened? where are you?" "im fine, don't worry about lil old me. Where are you?" Panic began to occupy my thoughts and create various scenarios in my head. "Im fine,  I just don't know where you are and it would have been more ideal if I knew where you where now". I parked in the back of the carpark connected to the motel and made my way inside the building after looking my car and covering it in a tarp that I kept in the trunk. 

"Ill come pick you up tomorrow, for now just go home and rest" after saying our goodbyes I hung up the phone and pulled out some makeup remover from the back seat of my car and removed my face art and changed into some daggy clothes I had in the back for emergencies just like this. I walked inside and paid for a room and thats where I was going to stay for the remaining 24 hours.
