"Get up baby"

You whined tiredly,

opening your eyes to see him

pacing the room,

going through draws

like he was looking for something.

"What are you doing?"

"We have to go"

He told you firmly,

looking at you over his shoulder,

checking the safety on a gun

before tucking it into his belt.

"Get up.

Go get your shit

and let's go"

"Go where?"

You climbed out of bed,

grabbing your bagpack

and a coat,

still wearing your

pajamas underneath.

"I like it here"

"We have to fucking go alright?"

He lost his patience with you.

"Just get in the fucking car.

Why do I have to fucking coax you

to do everything?

Do you want to be in a fucking

jail cell cos something tells me

you wouldn't last very long"

You didn't want to argue with him.

You already knew the outcome,

going down to the elevator

with him close behind you to

the underground parking lot.

Getting into the car,

he shut the door behind you

before going around to the other side,

pulling out onto the streets of gotham.

"Where are we going?"

You asked him quietly.

"Are the police after you?"

"I think I'm a few hours ahead"

He answered you lowly,

focusing on the road.

"I got a tip off from someone

on the inside...

they found something on me.

I can't get out of this"

"What did they find?"

You breathed out.

"They found a body"

He side glanced at you.

"That's all I'm gonna say,

alright?

Don't let your little

imagination run wild.

The asshole fucking deserved it"

"If he deserved it..."

You trailed off into a short silence.

"Why are they looking for you?"

"That's not how the world

works doll"

You felt his hand grip onto

yours over the gear stick,

making you feel safe for the first

time that night.

"Do we have to stay in that

hideout again?

I really don't like it daddy.

It's cold and wet and-"

"No"

He cut you off.

"We'll just lay low for a while.

Probably stay in a couple motels

somewhere,

I don't know yet baby.

I haven't thought that far"

"I'm tired"

You sighed softly,

tilting your head back against the

leather seat.

"Daddys sorry for waking you

up hm?"

He smoothed your hair down

with the palm of his hand

and you nodded your head tiredly,

closing your eyes.

"Go to sleep.

I'll wake you up when we get there"
