Gotham~ Crime On The Rise

It All Went Wrong, So Fast.

Serena's POV

"Mom, Dad. This is Serena Gordon. She's Jim Gordon's niece." Bruce explained as we got to the ice cream place.

"Nice to meet you." They told me.

"Nice to meet you too!" I said.

We got our ice cream and sat down to eat it. Bruce got cookies and cream, I got cookie dough, Bruce's mom got vanilla, and Bruce's dad got Rocky Road. It was beginning to get really dark outside. After we finished we began to walk were Bruce's car was. But we had to go through an alley quickly.

It all happened too quickly.

"HANDS UP NOW." The man shouted, pointing a gun at us.

Bruce and I exchanged worried looks.

"GIVE YOUR WALLET AND.. AND.. YOUR NECKLACE." He yelled at Bruce's parents.

They gave him both of the items. The man laughed.

Then the gun shot. The blood. His parents went limp onto the ground.

"NO!" Bruce and I cried out.

We stood there in shock as the man walked away.

Then we heard sirens.

----------------------------------------

Bruce and I sat at that the end of the fire truck. We didn't say a word to each other. It had been 13 minutes. Uncle Jim came over a little bit ago, making sure we were okay. But he didn't say anything else. He was on duty.

"Serena!" Barbara yelled.

"Barbara!" I cried out, when I saw her.

I ran over to her and hugged her.

"Barbara, it was terrible!" I cried out as she tried to calm me down.

"Shh.. I know." Barbara whispered to me, holding me close to her.

Uncle Jim walked over to us.

"What happened?" Barbara asked.

"The Waynes were murder. A man shot them." Uncle Jim explained.

He looked at me.

"Take her home Barb. She shouldn't be out here." He said.

Barbara nodded and wrapped her arm around me, and we headed toward her car.

I had never witnessed a murder before. I wasn't there for my parents death.
