Action! [Evangelina Bradley]

[The Joker]

The Joker turned back, he was now standing before the elevator and he was excited! He knew that just above him there were not only King's tribe, but the police too! Now, a normal person would have been afraid of such situation, like, he was alone against a bunch of enemies well armed and trained, but Joker wasn't normal for sure and he liked playing. The truth is, he really liked everything that could cure the boredom...because boredom was a disease that needed a cure...and this was going to be a nice diversion from the ordinary boring stuff. And...by the way...did he really need a reason? A clue? No.

The elevator was up again so it would have looked like a normal room, but the clown pushed the calling button waiting for the elevator to come down. He wanted them to know that there was something going on down here and that something was a funny clown, perfect for families parties and for killing hundreds of people.

Joker was missing his suit and toys, but he could have fun even without them. He observed the path that he took and started walking back, waiting behind a corner, just peeking a little bit when he heard the elevator going up again. After few seconds the elevator came back and inside there were two of the Prince's former henchmen. Joker hid behind the corner looking before him, but hearing footsteps getting closer, suddenly he heard their voices too after a bip sound started "Police is here! We gotta get out from here, the clown is not here anymore for sure! And there are tunnels or something down here!" a voice that seemed coming from a radio replied "It's too late, the police is already here, they are shooting at us! Come back here! Now!" the two did as asked, but just right after they turned to get into the elevator, Joker grabbed them by their heads and crush them together "Mh...it always works in cartoons" Joker mumbled seeing the two dazed but not gone. The clown shrugged and grabbed one of their guns, the two tried to react, but too late, the Joker pushed the trigger and bam bam! Blood from the henchmen's heads.

Joker took ammos for the pistol and the assault rifle too taking it from the dead body of the henchman and took the radio-thinghy when it turned on again "Guys! C'mon!" he didn't respond directly, but entered in the elevator pushing the button "Oh, finally!" the voice in the radio said when the elevator started going up, the Joker smiled reloading the assault rifle ready to face what was happening upstairs. The elevator stopped and Joker was going to yell a think like -Surprise!- or something, but saw some King's men down in front of him, shot by the police and that made him observe the situation instead of talking. He heard shooting and yelling from the police and henchmen alike, but they were just things to kill for the Joker.

[Evangelina Bradley]

Evangelina is not happy. She knows that something's going down in south Gotham, and has been monitoring the situation on the radio. At first it didn't sound like much of a problem at all - armed men in the street. Well, that's a problem, but not for her - the GCPD is a huge organization with a lot of officers, so there were plenty of officers nearer to the incident to respond to it, so she didn't have to.

Unfortunately, it sounds like the situation is getting worse and worse - shots fired, a veritable gun battle - she might be called to the scene, and she honestly really doesn't want to. She didn't become a police officer to be a hero, she became a police officer because it gave her a pleasing amount of authority over people, a gun, a badge, a patrol car, and other nice things. Which isn't to say that she's not willing to fight - put her unarmed into the middle of a knife fight, and you'll see how willing she is to fight - but guns are different. A stray bullet shot by an idiot among the chaos, and you're dead.

Finally the call comes - they need more officers on the scene. For a moment she debates saying that she was too busy doing something else to come, but since this is one of those situations where they're expecting everyone to drop everything and come, she knows that she'll get in trouble if she doesn't. Sighing to herself, she flicks on her lights and siren and starts to speed over to the scene. But not too quickly - she definitely doesn't want to be the first of this new wave of police to arrive on the scene - that's dangerous. Everyone knows that the person who goes in first is the most likely to get killed.

[The Joker]

"Another down!!" a cup yelled seeing his partner fall down near him "Where is the backup...?!" yelled another one while hiding behind a corner to shield himself from a henchman shooting at him. However, the cops had a strange feeling...like the henchmen were lowering in numbers very quickly. The shooting was dropping every minute passed and not because the cops were shooting back. Sure, they were fighting back, but they weren't hitting down so many henchmen in so little time.

The Joker was playing hide and seek, he found a shelter and then surprised the henchmen, killing them. Already half of them. A bullet passed near his ear and the jester couldn't stop a laugh coming out. While killing the henchmen who just shot him, the Joker started laughing, doggedly. That laugh was no mistake. The cops heard it and looked at each other, a stunned expression on their faces then a cop pointed towards a direction so they could see the clown there laughing in the middle of dead bodies The Joker is here! We need backup NOW! said a cop in the radio trying to not bring any attention to himself, but the clown was busy laughing and killing all his former henchmen off.

"As you going buddy?" the clown said to one before killing him "Oh! You left without even forewarning two weeks early! Tz, tz, tz..." Joker made sounds with his tongue shaking his head while the henchman in front of him was going to...do not anything because his former boss already ended his life. Joker moved his gaze to his right seeing a henchman trying to run away "Are you leaving already? No manners at all! The party just started!" the henchman turned around, Joker was going to shoot, but someone behind grabbed him, a cop...who had family and children. The Joker smiled and gave the cop an elbow in the guts so now the jester was grabbing the cop bending the arm behind the cop's back and pointing the gun at his head.

In that moment, while the Joker was standing behind the cop whit the colleagues pointing their guns at him, the backup arrived too, instead the henchman was nowhere to be seen, he could have helped the cop, but decided for the easy way out. Unfortunately, the henchman ran into a very intimidating blonde cop.

[Evangelina Bradley]

Once again Evangelina's radio crackles to life - this time it's the dispatcher informing everyone about to join the fray that the Joker has made an appearance. "Oh, brilliant!" she says to herself. This whole thing has gotten at least ten times worse, and she can't back out now - she's almost there. Close enough to hear the shots being fired.

After parking her car a bit of a distance away - the area is already overcrowded with vehicles and she doesn't want to drive into the line of fire - she quickly adjusts her bullet-proof vest, checks her gun, takes a breath and then steps out of her vehicle and runs toward where the other freshly arrived backup officers are arriving to support the other officers. Keeping her body low, she goes quickly but cautiously - taking careful note of where the guys shooting at the cops are so that she doesn't accidentally step into their line of sight.

But it's when she's almost to the police line that she sees a man running in her direction who doesn't seem to be looking where he's going. She doesn't have very long to look at him, but what she sees tells her that he's probably one of the 'bad guys'. Any innocent people who haven't already fled the scene would be holed up in their houses, and everyone on her side is wearing a police uniform.

Therefore, she handles this situation accordingly. Just as he reaches her, punches him hard in the face, grabs his shoulders and knees him in the stomach. "You picked the wrong, freakin' day," she tells him, now placing one of her legs into the proper position to trip him as she shoves him to the ground. Let's just say that she's in a bad mood and now is not the time to not be on her side and approach her without a gun ready to stop her. Unarmed combat has always been a specialty of hers.

Only when she's dispatched him does she look up and see that the Joker has one of her fellow officers with a gun pointed at his head. If she was a coward, she'd turn and flee right now like the henchman that she just took down. If she was stupid she'd raise her gun and try to charge him. If she thought of herself as any sort of a hero, she'd try to shout some sort of a warning about what will happen if he harms that officer he has. But she's none of those things, so she simply halts in her tracks and watches the situation while looking alert and ready to do whatever it is that she's about to do - just as soon as what she needs to do becomes clearer.

[The Joker]

The Joker was having attention, he was in the spotlight and he was loving it. He could have used that cop as a shield to run away, but instead he stood there, the temptation to play was higher than the wish to escape "So...do you have kids?" the clown asked the cop who nodded. He didn't question the cop because of interest, nope, he asked for the reaction, in fact the others cops became more angry and ready to shoot than before...it looked like the Joker had a suicided attitude, the doctors always claimed it, but it wasn't so true...maybe just a little bit...the clown just liked to play, that's all. If he had to die then someone else with black wings had to die too.

Outside, the backup group was inspecting the house, but it was difficult doing it without drawing Joker's attention on them and this house was strange, the windows weren't windows anymore so they couldn't even enter inside the house using them. Smoke bomb was useless too with the Joker, it worked on him, but the cops believed that the clown would just shoot at random, killing instantly the cop he was holding in hostage. So, what to do? Nothing until Joker kept their partner's life in danger...but then they heard a gunshot so everybody ran into the house with their guns aimed.

"Did it hurt?" a lugh "I'm sooo sorry!!" he laughed even more when someone yelled to not shoot or they could have shot their friend. Joker just shot near the cop's head, but without hitting it. However, now there was the classic whistle in Joker and the cop's ears, but the clown didn't care without even noticing it instead for the cop it was another story, but he didn't move, the thought of his children and wife made him have a very strong self-control. Joker sighed "I'd like to stay more...but please put your guns down" the cops looked at each other and then some of them did as asked "You...?" he was talking to the cops with their guns still aimed at him "Oh well, let's hope that I won't stumble onto something then...!" Joker let out a giggle and started walking towards the main door. He was getting closer to the backup cops seen that they just entered in the house so they were near the entrance.

One of the cops, the best friend of the hostage, couldn't handle this anymore and...shot at the clown, luckily he had a great aim. Joker felt a burning sensation at his left shoulder and the recoil of the shot made him let go of the police man. The bullet didn't really hit the shoulder completely, but it did damage anyway...oh...and the clown here was feeling the pain, unfortunately it was a fuel and not a deal breaker for him. The cops took the former hostage away from the Joker in a safe distance, but the clown seemed not interested in him anymore. He leant against the wall and the blood from the shoulder stained it. The Joker kept giggling softly with the gun still in his hand.

[Evangelina Bradley]

At the sound of a shot, the police had run to confront the Joker. Evangelina hesitated for half a second and then ran toward him. She ought to be safe enough as long as she doesn't take point - same concept as not having been in a hurry when she drove here.

And though she finally pulls her gun out, she's not overly eager to use it. Especially since it seems like most of the henchmen have been taken care of, and the Joker is the last person she wants to shoot. He might take it personally, after all, and she'd prefer to go the rest of her life without him ever knowing the difference between her and any other cop.

But it seems like one of the other cops feels differently, if the fact that he took a shot at the Joker is any indication. Instantly some of the others surge forward to get and protect the hostage until they can get him safely away, while she hears others murmuring praise to the one who risked taking a shot and managed to hit the Joker and not the hostage - they train hard to be able to do exactly that, but it's not an easy skill to master. Evangelina herself is an excellent shot, even though she wouldn't have wanted to try it in this situation.

Now everyone's attention turns back to the Joker. But though they can all see that he's injured, they all can also see that he still has his gun and is therefore still a threat. Everyone knows that the Joker isn't done until he officially gives up (though it's a good idea to keep an eye on him even after that). One of bolder guys near the front decides to take it upon himself to speak for the entire group of cops, attempting to point out to the Joker that they've got a lot of guns pointed at him, so things will not be pretty if he tries anything, but says that if he puts the gun down they can end this, take care of his shoulder, and nobody else has to get hurt.

Evangelina's gun is one of those guns, and she carefully positions herself so that she has a clear shot even though she's not in front. Trying not to let any of the rest of the chaos around her distract her, she simply watches the Joker and hopes that he decides that he's done now. Whether or not that means that he actually surrenders to the police is actually something she doesn't care very much about - if he has some clever way of escaping instead, that's fine with her as long as she goes home in one piece.

[The Joker]

The Joker let his gun fall off from his hand so the cops ran towards him with still their guns aimed. He let two cops grab him by his arms and the clown laughed when feeling pain from his injured shoulder. The clown was loving the attention. The one who shot him walked behind him with handcuffs, the other cops were smiling at him. Joker made a little grimace noticing all that positive attention for the cop, the jester didn't like it, no one could rejoice from his own spotlight.

Obviously, the spotlight wasn't the only problem with that agent...nope...the shoulder hurt. Joker let one of his wrist to be cuffed, but then faked to have a faintness so he stumbled in a crouched poistion. However, that was enough for the clown because the cops had to change the grip on him, so the clown had the time to give a punch to one of them and grab the wrist of the cop with the handcuffs...the other cuff was now around the cop's wrist.

The Joker and the cop who shot him were handcuffed. The clown was cuffed by the arm with the injured shoulder so that was an advantage for the brave cop, however Joker knew it so he bent the cop's arm, hurting himself too because of the shoulder and that was aggravating Joker's angry towards the agent "I hope the cop with the kids knows that he HAD a very brave friend...even though I think you shag his wife" he laughed and the every other cop amied again their guns, it had been difficult to shoot even before because he was surroundeded by the cops holding him, but now he had a hostage...again.

Joker started walking towards the exit still behind the cop getting closer to the bunch of agents where Evangelina was. The shoulder was hurting more every second passed because he had to keep the cop from moving with the injured arm, but the clown had a high pain tolerance...until at some point "Gentlemen...oh...and Ladies!" he smiled seeing Evangelina and other female cops "Me and my buddy need to talk so we have to go now" a sigh "Hope to see you s...?" the cop used the same joke that the clown did before and faked to stumble. Joker gritted his teeth and had to step foward to not stumble himself letting the cop's arm go.

The agent tried to reach for his gun but... "Are you searching for this little and deadly toy?" apparently Joker pulled it out from the holster while the cop fell down. Joker laughed seeing the fear in the policeman's eyes...finally his bravery was gone knowing that his end was nigh "We warn you Joker! If you shoot then we will returnt fire!" the clown rolled his eyes miming their words with his mouth, however he was pointing the gun at the cop's head. Indeed, the situation wasn't in Joker's favor, but he was at the exit too "Stand up" he ordered and the cop obeyed "Walk" Joker's tone was so serious that was almost unrecognisable "Don't follow us! We need some alone time if you want to see him alive again" jesters are liars, but if the cops decided to follow him then it was certain death for their friend so they decided to stay.

The Joker walked all the way down the street then stopped "Uncuff me" he hadn't had the time to take the keys too when he took the gun. The cop obeyed "You can go now, you are free" Joker was still serious and the cop obeyed again running away down the street. Joker let him go for about...five seconds then he shot at the cop's shoulder, but the bullet passed him through instead the clown had only a grazing wound even though it was really bleeding a lot.

Meanwhile, one of the policemen called some agents "Bradley! Johnson! Sloan! With me!" he pointed to the houses near the street "We go behind these houses...he shouldn't see us..." he nodded so he started running following the path, however a shot could be heard at some point so he made the gesture to stop closing his fist "Joker! You said..." the cown sighed "...and you followed me so we are even!" the cop pointed his rifle "The gun! Down! And kick it away from you!" Joker obeyed smiling, he could have kicked the gun really hard hitting the cop, but the Joker knew that they wanted to kill him and this time they could even succeed and his shoulder...the pain...the blood...his body was sending him a clear message, he couldn't keep going like this, he needed assistance, the Joker was dangerous, but not invincible, although he liked to think otherwise.

Joker smiled "I said he would have returned alive, in fact he is not dead...just a kiss on the booboo and everything will pass!" Joker laughed, Sloan and Johnson rushed to their friend's sides and tried to stand him up, the shoulder was seriously injured, but he will live "Call the others, we need them here and tell them to call an ambulance" the cop, that apparently had a superior ranking in respect to the others cops, motioned to Evangelina.

[Evangelina Bradley]

Is Evangelina surprised when the Joker giving up is just a ruse and he instead uses the situation to his advantage? No, of course not. She actually paid close attention when she'd heard about his case history. Which is exactly why she didn't volunteer to be one of the ones trying to cuff him. She'd much rather be one of the many people standing back with their gun ready. Unlike many of the others who are carefully looking for a reason and an opening for their gunfire, she's merely ready to defend herself if she has to.

So she simply keeps her eyes and her gun trained on him, letting the others protest his movements and tactics. But she doesn't believe for a second that he means it when he implies that he intends to let his new hostage remain alive. He could easily be lying, but even if he's telling the truth she suspects that it's only the truth in the sense that he'll let them see him alive again just before he kills him, or something like that. This may be her first time actually seeing the Joker in person, but she knows that the first rule in dealing with him is to never, ever trust him.

When he leaves with the new hostage, a part of her is relieved - she's out of a tense situation. However, one of the lieutenants immediately dashes that idea by calling her name. For a moment she wants to scream about how insane that plan is and to protest the unfairness of her being chosen. But she knows that any such protest would make her sound like a whining child, so hides her reluctance as she comes when she's called. Naturally, she chooses to take up the rear as they leave.

Just as she suspected they might, they're quickly found out by the clown. Fortunately, he hasn't killed his hostage. Unfortunately, Johnson and Sloan are very quick to help him, and she's too slow to realize that's what she should have done. Now it's just her and the lieutenant to take care of the clown. And she certainly doesn't like that at all. In fact, the clown can probably tell that she doesn't want to be here by the unhappy frown on her face, even though there's a steadiness in her stance that suggests that she's ready to pull the trigger of the gun she has pointed at him the second that she thinks she needs to. She may be here somewhat against her will now, but that doesn't mean that she isn't ready to do her job.

Even when the lieutenant makes it worse by asking her to be the one to call the others. Again she wants to protest - why does she have to be the one that will have to momentarily be distracted by the task instead of giving the unpredictable clown her full attention? But she's quick enough to comply instead. "All available officers to 5th street, ambulance for gunshot," she says as quickly as possible into her radio.

[The Joker]

The clown stood in front of the guy with the gun aimed at him then the other cops arrived with their guns aimed. So, that was it, they actually got him without Batman's help. Joker looked bored, his face didn't show any sign of emotion when usually he was all smiles and jokes. His body was aching, but that wasn't a real problem for the clown because he already had had to bear worse things than a bleeding wound to the shoulder. Something was wrong, it was like he was planning something, his eyes focused on an invisible blue print.

He didn't even snap from his world when paramedics grabbed him by his arms and put him into the ambulance with the cop that he had shot. The cop didn't seem in good condition, but the clown's eyes were staring at the blond cop near the lieutenant, staring without really looking. Joker could recognize a possible allied when he saw one. The signs were there...mh...corruption was funny. He already started picturing scenarios...he could orchestrate a scenario where the cop needed his help so she had to help him back...or otherwise...well...maybe it could end up to be more simple than he thought. But first, he needed to speak to her.

The clown couldn't be handcuffed because the paramedics were healing his shoulder, so he leaned a hand on the cop's chest. The paramedics looked down at the cop in the stretcher, fearing that the clown was going to do something to the cop "I want to talk to that blondie over there" he said with nonchalance pressing oh-so-slightly the hand on the chest of the unconscious cop. One of the paramedics ran over the lieutenant and started talking, the clown saw the paramedic's hand pointing at him so Joker smiled waving his hand to the lieutenant ...so...he wants to talk with you the paramedic looked at Evangelina with sorry eyes even though this wasn't his fault at all. The lieutenant turned around to face Evangelina Bradley... the lieutenant wanted her to go, but the decision was hers.

[Evangelina Bradley]

Evangelina doesn't let herself relax until they're once again surrounded by other cops, and this time the Joker's surrender seems to be genuine. Of course, this time - it being immediately after he pretended to surrender and injured a cop in the process - they trust him even less than they already did and they're watching him like a hawk. So Evangelina figures that it's safe enough for her to step back and call it over.

But as it turns out, she was being premature with that. First she hears a commotion over by the ambulance, and then... "What? Why me?" she can't help but ask the lieutenant out loud, rather than in her head where she usually keeps such question. And here she thought that she'd gotten through this in one piece. Well, this is completely unfair! She did absolutely nothing to deserve the attention of this madman, and she can only assume that whatever he wants isn't good.

Still, though she does believe that lieutenant will allow her to refuse, she also know what everyone will think. They'll say that they don't blame her, but if the other officer gets killed because she refused then they'll think badly of her. On the other hand, if she goes then they'll think that she's brave and badass - heroic, even. And she certainly wants to be viewed as all those things - the only question is whether or not she's willing to risk talking to the clown to get them. Oh, and whether or not the clown will remember her refusal and take that out on her later too.

"Fine, I'll do it," she mutters unhappily. But before she walks over she takes a breath and straightens up. While she may be reluctant to actually use that part of her personality in risky situations, she is, in fact, a rather bold woman who doesn't take crap from anyone. So while she's not especially happy to go talk to the clown, if she's going to do it then she's going to do it all the way.

Walking toward the ambulance, she stops while she's still a few yards away - if what he wants is to talk then she doesn't have to stand very close to him. Folding her arms across her chest, says, "I really am flattered, but I'm afraid that you're just not my type." Her expression is annoyed and impatient - she doesn't want to be talking to him and she wants to be doing it as briefly as possible.

[The Joker]

Joker knew that the blondie cop couldn't refuse, this was an offer she couldn't refuse....too much attention, too many consequences. She stopped walking at the right distance to talk, but too far away for Joker's liking, he just wanted to talk to her without audience...oh...who was he kidding? The clown loved audiance of course! "It's your fear talking?" referring to her body language and her sarcasm "Ohh...Scary would love that!" Joker laughed a little.

Joker tilted his head still with the hand on the cop's chest "Ohhh...! Well, I already have a blondie girlfriend!" a fake sigh as if he was sad that the girlfriend in question wasn't Evangelina, but of course he was just joking around. Then suddenly he became serious again "When the police will be called in Arkham..." because reasons but he didn't say anything aobut it, his reputation could speak by itself "...I want you to be one of them, don't worry, nothing will happen to you because I want you to do something for me" the funny thing about this was that everyone could hear them, but Joker didn't care, apparently he was sure that Evangelina was going to do what he wanted anyways and Joker knew that this little conversation just made Evangelina more popular. Joker winked at her, a sarcastic wink that meant: you are welcome.

Joker shrugged "That's all, folks!" he tapped the cop's chest with the index "See you soon" he smiled, the serious tone gone. The paramedics were looking at him and Joker rose a brow moving his head to the right, trying to see his shoulder, but the wound was behind so it was impossible, however he could feel that the wound started bleeding again, there was no pain because drugs, but the blood was bleeding anyway. Joker sighed annoyed by his body and moved away his hand from the cop's chest, a gesture that allowed them to come back.

The paramedics ran into the ambulance again, one started closing Joker's wound, but the other two were busy with the cop. Instead the lieutenant walked towards Evangelina grabbing her politely to take her away from the Joker who looked at them still smiling, of course. The lieutenant took Evangelina into the group so the other cops patted her on the back, congratulating, they were proud of her and happy that this situation was over, but the lieutenant seemed worried "This...has been to easy...I think he had planned to be caught and what he said to you..." he rubbed his face with a sigh "Are you okay?" then he asked, professionally.

[Evangelina Bradley]

"Fear or common sense?" Evangelina says back, giving a pointed look at the cop he's threatening even now. It would be absolutely crazy for her to trust the Joker, after all. He's... well, the Joker.

Which is the same reason why he gets her full attention when his voice suddenly becomes serious. If she's surprised at all that he's predicting a need for the police at the asylum, she doesn't show it. She's quite certain that if the Joker wants the police at the asylum he can figure out how to get them there. What he says causes her to tilt her head thoughtfully. "Do you?" she asks rhetorically, thoughtfully.

Of course she can't say that she agrees in front of all these people, but she also doesn't know if she does - it really depends on what he has in mind. She may be very willing to go outside the law, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't look out for her own interests. She's not interested in losing her job or getting arrested, so she won't do anything against the law if she'll get caught unless she has a good way to justify what she did. And even if she won't get caught she has to ask what's in it for her - she doesn't do anything criminal just for shits and giggles. Well, not usually anyway. But though her reaction was extremely neutral she didn't show any sign of refusing outright, which means that she'd probably at least consider the idea.

The wink causes her to give an amused snort, and then she turns away because they're apparently done. Then she finds herself being dragged back over to where most of the cops are gathered, and though she's uncomfortable about the idea that this isn't over yet she can't help but smile at the kudos her fellow officers are giving her. At the lieutenant's words, her smile quickly disappears. "I'm fine - I think he likes me," she remarks, which prompts a small laugh or too, but what she says next kills most of the celebratory feeling, "Make sure dispatch knows I need to be in the next group responding to the asylum - I have a date." Though her own expression is quite bland as she says this and the words could be taken as amusing, the other cops can't help but worry about what the Joker has planned - not just for Evangelina but possibly for them if they're also in that group, and for the city as a whole if not.

Having said that, she turns and starts to walk back to her car - leaving them to look after her in a quiet mixture of worry, awe, and respect for how well she's taking all of this. But once her back is turned and nobody can see, she can't help but break into a large grin. Oh, yes she's worried about what the Joker wants her to do, but even more than that she enjoys it when her fellow officers think that she's a badass. Besides, she supposes that she can be optimistic enough to expect that she'll still get through this in one piece.

[The Joker]

So, he just acquired a new corrupt cop. Perfect day, today! Mh, besides the king, but at least he had killed his former henchmen, not everyone, but the numbers dropped a lot. Joker wondered what Mr. Iceman was up to now and that he needed to set up another meeting with him...Surely he will want to catch the king too. The clown smiled at the thought.

The Joker made a face when the paramedic finished to suture his wound. He already felt better, no more bleeding. He even thought to jump off the ambulance killing the paramedics and go in the driver seat running over everybody directed to...Well...Away...Maybe Las Vegas wasn't a bad idea after all.

But no, he couldn't do it. He had stuff to do. People to meet and...Etc, etc. Joker was looking at the group of cops, the blonde was talking with mister macho and then walked to her car, instead the macho-man was walking towards him. Joker knew what he was gonna do, in fact he wasn't surprised when the lieutenant took a pair of handcuffs "You know what to do" he said and the clown sighed "Is that really necessary? I did nothing! Well...I am not going to do anything else...I promise!" Joker crossed his fingers and laughed when the lieutenant grabbed his right hand roughly and handcuffed him securing the wrist to a support near him.

The lieutenant returned back to the cops "Okay! The game is over!" he gave orders to two cars to follow the ambulance while the others returned to their duty. The paramedics closed the ambulance's doors and then the veichle drove away.
