I felt my heart shoot up and watched as the messages bubbled up.

Unknown
-I'm pretty sure I'm going to regret this. But fuck it.-
3:00 p.m.

Unknown
-I'm not doing anything. Got anything interesting to talk about?-
3:01 p.m.

I couldn't help but smile and text back as soon as I got the chance. I held my breath as my fingers tapped across the screen.

Me
-Damn, mystery man is back huh? Depends on what you call interesting-
3:02 p.m.

Me
-I mean, you do go around threatening people. So I guess I should make it good.-
3:02 p.m.

Unknown
-Honestly I don't give a flying fuck. What's even your name?-
3:03 p.m.

Me
-Milou. What about you?-
3:04 p.m.

Unknown
- J-
3:04 p.m.

Me
-simple, you're now in my contacts as 'j that one mother fucker'-
3:05 p.m.

J
-You know that actually is pretty fitting.-
3:05 p.m.

Me
-I know, it felt like it.-
3:05 p.m.

Me
-So did you kick that one guy's ass?-
3:05 p.m.

J
-Does Batman brood?-
3:06 p.m.

Me
-he does more than just brood. That's an understatement.-
3:06 p.m.

J
-Well there's your answer.-
3:07 p.m.

Me
-and what did you end up doing to him?-
3:07 p.m.

J
-for your deniability I won't say.-
3:07 p.m.

Me
-so he's dead...-
3:07 p.m.

J
-...-
3:09 p.m.

Me
-Well good to know.-
3:09 p.m.

J
-You're not spooked about that?-
3:09 p.m.

Me
-I live in Gotham dude. I've seen people kill one another over a bagel.-
3:09 p.m.

J
-sounds like good old Gotham. I just left Gotham actually.-
3:10 p.m.

Me
-local?-
3:10 p.m.

J
-use to be. Now I try and avoid it a bit.-
3:11 p.m.

Me
-I don't blame you.-
3:11 p.m.

J
-so you're one of the many people trapped in the black hole huh?-
3:11 p.m.

Me
-I could pick up and leave but you know how hard it is. Even if you don't have anyone.-
3:12 p.m.

J
-I understand that more than you know.-
3:12 p.m.

J
-So what do you do for work? Nothing to illegal?-
3:12 p.m.

Me
-says the guy who just killed someone...-
3:13 p.m.

I wondered for a moment. I didn't want to scare this guy off. But I had no other choice, he'd find out sooner or later. And the more trust I put in him the more he might show maybe. So I sighed before saying fuck it and throwing caution to the wind.
