lance: So do you have your paper?

Tetch: Of coarse, what a preposterous question!

Tetch hands him the paper.

lance:Great! Follow me...... I want to show you to the dock....

Tetch and Mcdoogle are shown walking off together..... Truck are scene pulling off from the outside, as scenes change. Men are loading and un loading different supplies. lance voice is heard talking while these events ac cure.

lance:This is Dock, That's B, the next is B, ect, I think you get the point... Im going to start you on C. Do you see those fork lifts?

Tetch:Yeah....

lance: They will be loading your truck, as soon as they finish. You will tag everything, then meet your dispatcher, he will give you, your route. Each truck is internalized with it's on GPS routing system. So you shouldnt have a problem reaching your destination. Any questions?

Tetch: What about my keys, and what do I do in the mean time?

They Both are stopped in front of the dock door. lance reaches for the door.

lance:Normally you will do these(loosens the latch, and raises the door) Make sure everything is ready, your truck is half way finished (He takes the lock off of the truck door, and raises it) Everyone should be arriving timely back from lunch. Terry will be your forklift opporater. So see that desk over there(He points, Tetch shakes his head) Ok your tags are in there. As soon as the first load is brought. Tag it, then the next, so we have a bin number. Everything has been pres-canned, when your done, make sure the truck door is locked. Contact your dispatcher. I think it's going to be Steve, tell him you are leaving. Then just be on time and be safe.

Tetch: Fair enough...um Keys?

lance:Oh, here Tetch!

lance walk's away.... Tetch looks around, and walk's inside the Truck. A couple of men are shown walking the halls of the mental hospital. One Notices a door cracked open.

Man:Hey isnt that the room, we have been having the Joker questioning in?

Man2: Yeah it is..... I wonder why Todd left the door like that?

Man:I dont know ill, shut it!

The man walks over hesitates.

Man2: What are you doing?

Man: I thought I heard someone mumble, I want to look inside.

He opens it and to his surprise, he sees Gordon gaged, the other man enters, they look around, and see the dead Bodies. The first man runs over to untie Gordon. The other heads for the intercom. Batman is shown sitting in his cell. Ramirez walk's by, talking to him.

Ramirez: Theres a lot of screwy stuff going on.... I havent heard from anyone! What do you know?

Batman: I know people are dying, and you better let me go!

Ramirez:Is that a threat, sicko?

Batman:No it's a realistic statement!

Batman stands as Ramirez get's closer. Then they are interrupted by Soto.

Soto:Hey just got a call from the Mental Hospital, they found Gordon!

Ramirez: Ok.... That's where he said he would be.....

Soto: Yeah I know, but not bloodied..... That's not all, Bill is dead, and a new guy......

Ramirez: Oh Lord don't tell me!

Soto:Joker is out.... He has Quinn, and Todd..... He is another employee there.......

Batman: Are you sure your not ready for my help yet? Innocent until proven guilty, you know.....

Ramirez: NO! Soto ill go get some guy.....

Soto: I have men on there way....

Ramirez: Did you talk to Gordon?

Soto: No....He's on his way to the Hospital....... apparently, joker, stole the car too.

Ramirez:I see....Stay here with Batman! Im going down to the Mental Hospital!

Ramirez is shown making his exit, through the nearest door. Soto has his back to the holding cell, Batman reaches through the cell bars, pulling Soto toward him, and grabbing his gun. It happened so quick, Soto is left helpless. Batman, jab's the gun in his backside demanding the key's. Soto reaches into his pocket, and then is instructed by Batman to unlock the cell door. He proceeds to unlatch the door, he opens it, then is grabbed by Batman. Who puts him in a headlock , in which he uses to make Soto pass out. A car then is shown driving down a dark road, then suddenly pull's over to the side. It's the stolen unmarked police vehicle from the Mental Hospital.Joker is shown with his gun in hand, and he look's Todds way and begins to talk.

Joker:Ok, we are going to play a little game... called duck duck goose!

Todd:What?

Joker: Yeah so heres what I want you to do.....First, open your door, like..... RIGHT NOW!

Todd opens it.

Joker:Very good! Now im going to get out!(Joker get's out, Quinn watches, Joker looks down inside the car, fires a shot in the air) Duck! (Points the gun inside at the sitting Todd) Duck!( Todd get's out takes off running into the woods, Joker shoots him in the back!)GOOSE!!!!!!!( Quinn screams!) Oh such a fun little game, you know I thought of more while in the hospital..... Oh dont look so frightened dear!( Joker opens up the back door, climbs inside, Quinn tries to escape out the other door. He grabs her, shakes her, she stops fighting.) VERY good! Now told you we just needed some alone time! Well he have it!(He looks into her eyes, as if about to kis her.) Dont fight it..Trust me.... Will only make things worse!

Gordon is shown being attended to at a hospital, he is holding a ice bag over his bandaged head. Ramirez walk's in.

Ramirez: Wow!

Gordon:It was awful! He killed two men right in front of me, like it was mere target practice, I thought he was going to get me. But he didnt, said he would save the best for last.

Ramirez: Well Batman is out..... We found Soto locked in his cell. It was crazy.... I was in a hurry to come here, I left Soto standing in the same room with Batman. He must had grabbed him. Soto was standing to close. I honestly didnt think about it in all the turmoil.
