Tim had escaped. The bullet wound in his leg still hurt and he could barely move it, but Tim had still managed to escape. There were boxes in the room. He crawled to one and managed to hide inside of it. The Joker would never find him. There would be no blood trail. No trace. He had stopped the bleeding long ago. He flinched when the door opened. He heard footsteps. They were quiet at first, but then they became more frantic. It was the Joker.

"Where are you Bird!" He yelled. He started to hit boxes with his crowbar. The Joker was getting closer. Tim's heart was pounding. Finally, the Joker got to Tim's box. He hit it hard. Tim tried to stay as still as possible. He couldn't get caught. The Joker listened, then moved on. As the Joker moved farther away, Tim breathed once more, letting the air flood into his aching lungs. The Joker's footsteps became quieter, until Tim could barely hear them. Then, the door to the room slammed shut. The Joker was gone.
