CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

Jester’s POV

I treaded backwards slowly, pointing the gun towards the hostage’s temple. Her tears dripped onto me.

Gross.

I kept my eyes on the Dynamic Douchebags. Their hands remained in the air and they were helpless as I walked out the door—with a hostage, Scarecrow and Riddler.

Mission Complete

As soon as we made it through the door way, I made a run for the police cruiser that I had crashed into the building. That was the only way we were getting out without being caught.

“Let’s Go!” I yelled as I crawled into the driver’s seat and impatiently waited for Riddler and Scarecrow to crawl in.

“Here” I said, handing the pistol to the Riddler and shoving the hostage in his direction. Scarecrow was clearly too drowsy to be on Batman patrol, he looked as though he was going to pass out again.

“You’re giving me your only weapon?” Riddler asked, it was clear were his mind was. I held back my sarcastic comments as I put the cruiser in reverse and slammed on the gas pedal, making everyone’s stomachs lurch.

“Don’t get any ideas” I yelled at Riddler. “Besides it wouldn’t do that much good anyway”.

He looked as though he was going to say something else but I didn’t have time to worry about him, Batman was in hot pursuit of us. His precious Batmobile was practically on the bumper of the police cruiser.

I let out a slew of curses and tried to maintain control of the car. I had done everything Joker wanted me to do; successfully make a distraction, bring back Riddler and raise a little hell. My greatest fear was that Batman would catch me and ruin the whole plan…or was it? After the incident with Scarecrow and his fear gas, nothing seemed to be right anymore. Everything felt so foggy and confusing.

Snap out of it, Jester.

I had to keep myself concentrated, I kept my eyes focused on the road and took as many evasive maneuvers as I could to keep the Batmobile from spinning my stolen car out of control.

“Please…just let me go” the nurse being held hostage begged.

I couldn’t see it but I was sure that a smile had come across Riddler’s face as he responded “What a poor choice of words, but if it’s what you want.”

He swiftly kicked open the door on his side and threw the struggling hostage out.

She tumbled across the road, and landed in a heap. Batman had to swerve to avoid her. I knew he would stop, there was no way he could leave her on the side of the road. This meant that he would have to stop following us and I could safely return Riddler to the Joker.

Relieve flooded over me as I watched the Batmobile pull over and the Caped Crusader come to aid the hostage. I couldn’t watch the scene for long as I sped forward and it vanished from the rear-view mirror.

After successfully crashing three other police cruisers that were after us, we reached the docks. I forced the cruiser to come to an abrupt stop.

  After kicking the door open and hopping out, I watched Nigma helped the dreary Scarecrow out.

I let out a content sigh, I had done it.

Then I noticed Riddler still had the pistol that I gave him to manage the hostage.
