Re: The Party Pooper + Everyone
This was not the first time that Mayor Anthony Garcia was a target of the clown prince, but the closest he had ever come to him was through a jail cell. The man stiffened when his name was called but he did not shy away as the Joker approached him.
"And just what is it you want?" he asked, eyes narrowed. His stomach was clenched in fear but the only sign of it was a nervous twitch from his index finger on the champagne flute he held.
Bruce had been ready to draw the clown's attention to himself when he had removed a blade from his pocket, but he was cut short as the Joker's real target came into view. Mayor Garcia...but why? His mind searched desperately for the answer.
As everyone stepped back, he took the opportunity to move forward. His steps were slow and his eyes constantly scanned the crowds to ensure that he was not being watched. He was trying to make it close enough to the mayor in order to act. Somehow. Bruce Wayne was not a hero, but he could be a lout when necessary. Would that be enough to draw the Joker away from his victim?
