I know Joker is here I can feel it, there is this fear I always have, when he is around.

Doll was holding the teddy bear close to her chest, she was shaking in fear, but then she looked at Jenny, who was all ready to attack, whoever would come their way.

Jenny is so brave, she isn't panicking neither is she feared. It feels like if she has gone through a similar life before. Could it be that everyone of them has suffered?

Jenny was looking up to the ceiling, she pulls at a small rope, a foldaway stair was visible.

Doll looked at her with widen eyes and an open mouth, "how?"

Jenny looked at her, "do you want to help the King or hide here?"

Doll stood there straight, "I'm not scared! I will help my King! But why nobody told me about the stairway?"

Jenny rolls her eyes, "really that is what is bothering you? There are some secrets it's better to keep them to have an Ace!" She winks and Doll nods biting on her tongue.

King looked at his men's, "be careful, whoever will come from that door will come to die or to kill, there is no need to show mercy as they won't have mercy for us."

They took their positions and were waiting for the intruders.

Joker smirks, "get in and die for a good job, they will be busy with the front side and there won't be much attention on the backside of the house. Donald sent the other's just a few seconds later, as soon as we hear the first shoot let them enter and kill them from the back."

Donald nodded, he managed the force and divided them into groups, "you heard what the Joker said. As soon as the gunfire starts enter and attack them!" He gave the order and they all nodded, taking their position.

Doll and Jenny were at the rooftop, she had placed her sniper on the edge of the wall and was having a perfect overview.

"Hello King!"

King and his men's were all having earplugs and Bluetooth connections.

"Jenny?" King was surprised and shocked, "where are you and how do you get the earplug?"

Jenny wasn't giving him any heed, she was busy in witnessing something, "we have to talk about the teddy bear."

"TEDDY BEAR!" King shouts, "do you want to tell me Doll is with you."

"Yes and she is pretty good, not listen to me, he is going to attack you with just a few men's. His plan is to attack!"

"When we are busy with the intruders at the front door. We know, let them come and keep the position and don't shoot just hide. Most important."

"I know I have to keep her save." Jenny ended his sentence.

King took a deep breath, "where is Rook?"

"With us!" She lied for Doll, she too doesn't want him to be fired or scold.

"Fine, give us updates we are hearing you clearly." King assure her and they got disconnected just for now.

"You six go and start with the red herring. I want to kill the King, whoever he is, he will die from my hands." Joker said laughing evilly.

Doll was taking a deep breath, she took her gun and came next to Jenny, "Doll you stay at the back. I'm your shield."

Doll shook her head, "I can help and I will help." She took a position on the other side of the roof and was taking a look at the goons, when her gaze fall on the Joker.

"Jenny!"

Jenny turns to her, "what?" She asked and saw a shaking Doll. She rushed to Doll and saw the man in a dark red coat, his Italian shoes were black made of leather, handmade. His face was having the scar like Doll has described him, "Don't worry Doll, King will kill him." Jenny consoles her and both were back at their positions.

I have to stay strong for my King, he needs me and I want a peaceful life without the fear of Joker.

Doll was holding the gun in her hand, she was waiting for the right moment, but her hands were shaking, she couldn't concentrate neither could she stop it. She took a deep breath. I trust my King, I know you will kill him. Sorry not to be of use.

Jenny informed them, "they are coming, 40 from the back. 20 from the left and I don't know how many are waiting outside, but at the right side you will find another 12."

"12?" King was confused, then he thought. Six are coming from the front where are the remaining two?

Gunfire was to hear and all got shocked, it was as if they stopped to breath for the moment.

"I told you Rook is with us!" Jenny spoke to them, "they know we are watching them!"

Rook looked at Doll, "I told you many times keep an eye on your back!"

Doll pouts and nods, "I know. Sorry!"

Rook hasn't left the room, he was just too scared of Doll and Jenny that he agreed to leave as he was just pretending it.

Jenny took the sniper and starts to shoot. Doll was still shaking, but Rook had also a sniper in his hands and took his position.

Joker didn't cared he was covered by his men's they were in a gunfire and trying to get into the house.

Tony looked at the King, "She is fine." He said and King nods, "I know, but..."

Tony shook his head, "Don't think like this the war has just started we will end it like we always do."

King smirks, "I know how, by winning it!" He arranged his gun and starts to shoot on them.

Joker's men were reducing, but unfortunately it was both ways the same, "Donald where are you?"

King heard the voice and looked up, he saw the man like Doll had described him, but there was something he didn't liked. Who is Donald and where is he? Tony was missing too.

King stood up from his 'hideout' he was looking for his friend. Tony was out in the garden, he was in a gunfire, while King was 'hiding'.

King took another gun, he took a proper look at the man and shoot at him, a perfect headshot.

Tony turns and looked at King, "you should stay inside!"

"I'm the King not a scared man! If someone is hiding then it is the Joker, that too behind his useless men's!" King was angry and Doll heard his voice, she looked down and saw him.

Joker too heard and saw him, he saw the death man, who was no one else than his loyal man Donald, "King he is replaceable just like you!"

King gave him a death glare, "for you your men's are like consumable parts. You are missing that they are human beings. But there is no use to talk about human rights with an abuser like you. You hurt the weaker ones, today you are facing an equal man of your nature, just with slight differences I have rules and I don't hurt women or kids."

*Hahaha!* Joker was laughing at him, "I know now look up, they were good, but I'm better."

They all looked up, there were men's at the roof they have captured Doll and Jenny.

Rook was standing there, "leave Doll!" The man of Joker took his gun and hit Rook with it, he falls unconscious the hit was on his head.

Joker shook his head, "you know your men's are loyal, I like this that is why they all come out seeing you. No one cared for Beauty and the other one. But this man, who is he?"

Doll was crying bitterly, "Rook is bleeding!" She sniffs loudly.

"Good you killed Donald otherwise I would have killed him for his incomplete research." He shot at the death body of his own man.

"This one man could have spoiled my plan, but he seems to be very attached to Beauty. NOW PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN. You know, I DON'T HAVE RULES LIKE YOU!"

King and his men put the gun down, Joker laughs and pushed the trigger.

"King!" The crowd shouted, "KING!" Doll shouted loudest.

*Hahaha!* "Don't worry BEAUTY, he won't die like this, no! He will die after knowing no one will cry for him after his death. First I thought to punish Beauty for her betrayal, but then I got to know about you, King. She is your LOVE, but when there is no LOVE left and you have to live with the emptiness in your heart, it is the biggest pain you can get."

King was looking at Him, "you would do what?!" He can't kill her if he do it then I won't be able to live.

Joker laughs again, "no, I won't. I would respect your wish not to kill her."

King was confused, "then, what?"

Joker looked up, his sharpe eyes were looking at her, "Beauty do you love King?"

No, I can't make her do it by herself.

Doll nodded in fear.

"Good, that means you will Do everything for HIM?"

Doll again nodded.

"Good Beauty, you know you are meaningless, but King is a man, who can save the world from evil like me. Am I right?"

Doll cried and nodded.

"Why don't you just stand on the edge and be ready for the jump?"

Doll looked down, she was looking into the eyes of her King, "I love you!" She said to him.

What is she doing?

Doll turns, she closed her eyes and wipes her tears away, "I will jump for my King!" She said with strength, but she was shaking.

King shook his head. Why would you do this? Your life isn't meaningless, it means the world for me.

"Good Beauty. Now come jump and end your meaningless life!"

Doll nodded, she was standing on the edge and looking at her King, "I love you and you showed my life is not meaningless!"

No, Doll!

She jumped, but backwards, Joker was confused and King caught the teddy bear, she throw on him.

A direct hit on the head of the Joker.

Then Rook stood up and pushes the man away, who was holding Jenny. He glares at the other man, who had hold the arm of Doll, he lifts him over and throw him down the roof.

King's shoulder was bleeding as soon as the Joker was lying on the ground, his men's feared without a leader they were meaningless.

"Kill them all!" King said and soon they killed the men of Joker.

Doll rushed down to him, she pressed her hand on his wound, "you need a doctor!"

King nodded, "yes and you a new teddy bear!" He shows her the new hole in the bear.

Doll hugs him tightly, "I'm smart!"

King nods, "yes, you are!"

Rook come, "sorry King!" He lowers his head.

Doll looked at King, "I'm warning you, you won't scold him!"

Jenny nodded, "yes!"

King was confused.

"Why?" Tony asked.

The Trio looked at each other, "nothing!"

It doesn't matter to tell him, if he doesn't know it. Rook will never leave her side again.

"Why aren't you bleeding?" King blinks with his eyes.

"See that is why he is the king!" Rook said.

Doll smiles, "my King, there was another one of your men's, he come to our help and Rook was hiding. We made a plan!"

King nodded and looked at Tony, "they are fooling us!"

Tony nodded, "come get up!" He lifts him and Doll pouts, "What you mean?"

"I don't trust your words that you made a plan!" King said and Jenny glares at him, she asked him to open the gun.

It wasn't Doll's gun.

Doll was holding her gun.

Tony and King left from there not giving them any heed.
