The Crazies (Jerome Valeska)

2

After dinner that night, Theo asked me to keep an eye on them. Of course what they do the next day is go out and spread their name.

I followed them to the shipyard and saw them beat and straight jacket seven men. They drew 'Maniax' on six of them and took them to the top of the Gotham newspaper building.

"Alright! First up!" Jerome said. They took the man with an 'm' on his back and chest and tossed him off. I shook my head.

Such a waste of cute boy.

Jerome sat up on the ledge, which made my body tense. Is he going to jump?? "Mr. A! Will you please join him?" They threw him off and Jerome let a wicked laugh out.

They followed suit until they got to the last.

"Um, what should we do with the spare?" The schizophrenic asked nervously. Jerome spun to look at him.

"Hmm... Ah!! I know." He drew what looked like a line from my angle. "Aaron. Would you kindly?" He asked with a sinister smile.

They threw him over.

Once they got a good look at the scene they made, they were off back to my house.

"Sam. How'd they do?" Theo asked me as I walked in the door.

"They definitely have style, I'll give them that." I said, he nodded.

"Good good." He smiled to himself. "Now go do your chemistry homework. You're failing." He said, I laughed.

"I don't need chemistry." I said. Tabitha joined in on the conversation.

"Yeah. You'll just work for your brother all your life." She said sarcastically. "Wanna practice cheerleading?" She asked.

"She could work for me." Robert said, fixing his bushy haired he walked into the dining room. Dobkin giggled and stared at his hands.

"Or me." Dobkin said as he spun in a circle. Jerome leaned on the table with his elbows and his chin in his hand, waiting.

"Yes, pick. The cannibal or the rapist." Jerome laughed.

"I'll be my own boss. You'll be working for me, Jerome." I smirked and turned on my heel to go to my room and catch some sleep. I have a cheerleading competition to go to.

I woke to the sound of a chainsaw.

Wait WHAT?!

I rushed out of bed, not caring what I was wearing. Which was a large sweatshirt and underwear and socks basically. The sweatshirt went down to half my thigh. I ran to the sound after Theo.

"Prepare to die!" Jerome yelled in a funny voice. There was a clash of metal on metal.

"THATS ENOUGH." Theo boomed.

"I tried to stop them!" Dobkin said. "Oh hi Samuel." He said, pointing a gun at me and laughing.

"Samantha." I corrected.

"Boys, boys. We're a team!" Theo said walking up to them. I followed.

"There's no need for a chainsaw at 7 in the morning." I said.

"We're a team boys. We don't fight amongst ourselves." Theo said.

"Yeah... Boys. We're a team." Dobkin added, I rolled my eyes.

"And I'm the captain." Robert said. I groaned and crossed my arms.

"We must not fight in front of the female, my opponent." Jerome said and winked at me after looking me up and down. He dropped the chainsaw. "But... You're captain of my foot." He said with a crazy smile.
