Recovery

That Bastard

I drove to Belle Reve yesterday and grabbed Griggs.

He's sitting in my basement currently.

He's missing exactly ten nails.

Four from his left hand.

Three from his right.

Two from his right foot and one from his left.

I will not let him out of this alive.

I found footage of him torturing Harley.

This will not end well for him.

I am breaking Harley out today.

It's been a month since she's been locked up.

I can't let her suffer in there any longer.

If she's well enough she can help me kill Griggs.

I get on my suit and get in our helicopter.

Jonny is at the front. I am sitting on the edge over looking Gotham.

This damn town is going to end me one day.

We arrive at Belle Reve and we do exactly what we did the last time.

So I might as well rule it while I can.

I walk towards her cage, seeing her excited face.

But I can't rule it without my queen.

I open the door and walk over to her.

"Harley.."

She starts crying and I bring her outside.

We drive back to the warehouse and I take her to my bedroom.

Unlike last time she doesn't want to be around me.

She walks into her old room, ignoring me, and shuts the door behind her. 

After a while I walk in and the room is destroyed.

There is writing all on the walls.

She is curled up in the corner, rocking back and forth.

I go to her and she flinches away from me.

"Don't touch me."

I kneel down and put my hand on her shoulder, "Harley?"

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

She pushes me down and gets up, running out of the room.

I get up and find her crouched down behind the couch, breathing hard.

"Baby, what are you doing?"

"Don't come near me."

What did they do to her?

What did he do to her?

"Griggs is in the basement."

Her eyes widen in fear, "He's here?"

I nod, "But he's all tied up, he can't hurt you."

She shakes her head, "He's going to get out. You have to kill him."

I've walked over to her and she grips my shoulders, "YOU HAVE TO KILL HIM!"

I pry her off of me and look down at her, "What did he do to you?"

She starts to shake her head frantically and I automatically know she won't calm down unless he's gone.

"I'm going to kill him right now. Do you want to come with me?"
