"How long until we're there" Lin complain while sighing. She was going to lose her mind if she had to spend another hour in the car. Lin was used to faster means of transportation than this rundown car, such as motorcycles and walking.

Tig blew out an exasperated breath before turning around to face Lin. "We won't get there faster just because you ask every five seconds"

"Hmpf" Lin scoff and glare at Tig. "What crawled up your ass and died?"

"You and your non-stop nagging" he retort with a dull smirk. "Now shut up or I'll drive you back home"

"Jeez Louise, take a chill pill or something" Lin grumpily answer and plop down on her seat again.

"I did, several in fact" Tig was very close to actually throwing the teen out of the window and even though he would regret it later he would not hesitate. "It's just one hour left and then you'll be on your merry way finding the last killer and then I can go home and you can do whatever it is you want to do"

"Whatever I want to do?" Lin murmur, whatever she wanted to do, so much promises layed hidden in beneath the words. What did she want to do? What is whatever limited to?

"Whatever you want to do" Tig confirms with a small grin. "Time to spread your wings or whatever people say"

"Maybe I'll meet someone, fall in love and have an epic romance with"

"Of course you will, and you'll be couple goals and send me disgusting christmas cards every year"

"That's so normal, I don't want normal. I want that odd and questionable but fiery and passionate love. The one that keeps you questioning, one where the passion never burns out and everything of your being is consumed by that someone" Lin dreamily rant unaware of the small grin Tig was sporting.

"I'm afraid all of the time you spent with our family has ruined you"

Lin grinned at the green haired man sitting besides her, he was telling her the story of his very first bank robbery.

"You're kidding, right? You actually tripped on your shoelaces when you tried to escape?" The girl giggled with a big smile on her face.

"Imagine what would happen to my reputation if anyone found out" Joker growled out with a slightly threatening tone at the end as if to warn her off doing so.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone of your embarrassing first time" Lin replied with yet another big smile, looking even more amused with what was going on after Joker got all serious.

"Promise? You wouldn't lie to Daddy?" Joker purred out with a glint in his eye.

"Promise" The 17-year old sealed the promise with a passionate kiss.

"Where is she?!" Joker yelled at his goons, beyond angry and terrified.

"I-I don't know, Boss" One of the newest goons replied and was rewarded with a hole through his head.

"I don't know isn't good enough! I want to know where she is and I want to know it now! Unless some of you wish to dine with Davy Jones, I suggest you start talking" At the beginning he was screaming but towards the end he was pacing and speaking in hushed tones as if remembering to keep his voice down.

Lin had gone missing and it was already messing with his head. He can't function without her, ever since the two met he had always had her by his side, whether she knew it or not he was always there. Joker felt like the world was tumbling down and he was desperately clutching at whatever he could find to not fall down the steep hole of hate and loneliness.

"She was taken by C, boss" One of the more experienced goons spoke up after feeling like his boss had calmed down a bit. "Chef says he saw them forcing her out to their car"

"Was she fighting?" Was his reply, he needed to know if she fought them or if she went willingly. He didn't want to believe that his love would willingly leave him but he had to be sure, be sure that all the promises they made, all they went through together were real. That she still loved him and knew that her place was by his side, as his queen. He knew that he should have made it official that she was his queen but he didn't want all his enemies coming after her, he wanted to keep her to him as his and only his.

"Yes, very much so" The goon reply with a wary look on his face.

"Good" Joker purred with a satisfied look on his face, his darling queen had fought her vicious attackers. Now it was his duty to come rescue her.

Days went and Joker nor his goons could find anything that would lead them to Lin. They had visited every gangster in town, every snitch and every low life criminal and yet they couldn't even find a trace of where she was. No one had seen or heard anything about her, nor this C that had supposedly taken her. Was it a new gangster or mob boss out to get him? An old meaningless lover hell bent on revenge? The possibilities were endless and this whole mess just proved to him that he would keep her even more secret, he would hide her and keep her safe.

A few days ago one could argue that he was still "sane" or as sane as he was when he had Lin but now, now even a blind person could see that he was falling apart. He had never felt so lost in his entire life, he didn't feel much positive emotions but the ones that he did were all linked to Lin and now that she was gone so was his happiness and will to live.

Meanwhile wherever Lin was:

"Can you stop crying? He's never going to come" A rough voice tells her harshly and ends the sentence with a hard slap, making her fall onto the cold marmor floor again.

"He will come for me, I know he will" Lin protest weakly. Ever since she had been taken she had been relentlessly been beaten, starved and tortured. She'd have next to none sleep and only enough food not to die.

"Maybe it's time for another session with Greta" C grin a cold grin and take ahold of one of Lin's bruised, sore arms and pull her with him to the room next to them.

"Please don't. Please, no more" Lin beg through thick tears but the lump in her throat and overwhelming fear stopped her from trying to physically stop him.

C spat at her and dragged her onto a cold metal table, illuminated by a standard surgery lamp and surrounded by electrical devices and wires. "We both know how this ends, sweetheart. You begging me to stop and me smiling while your the last pieces of your sanity flies away.

He pushes her down and fasten the binds around her feet and hands with short movements. C then turns to the device next to him and turns it on before turning back around with a familiar leather belt with familiar teeth marks bitten into it.

"Please don't do this, I'll make him leave you alone! I promise!" Lin desperately try one last time before the man viciously pull the electricity loaded poles onto her temples.

AN: I am so incredibly sorry for this late update. I've had so much school work and its left me exhausted and with no time to write. I'm hoping that updates will start coming out regularly again.

Now this chapter is kind of a filler and at the same time not, I wanted to write it to explain some of her in my mind "sudden" madness. So all of the chapters with her being crazy is after she was kidnapped by C and the ones where she's "normal" is before the kidnapping.

Hope you all liked it, please comment/votes/review! I love hearing from you all!
