A Dame to Kill For.

[Harley Quinn]

The cab raced through the open night air, its headlights guiding our way while the city started to become less and less immaculate. Sitting beside me, the man had a stern and concerned look on his face, as he kept his eyes out the window, viewing the city pass under us. He must be going through the same shock I had been through, guessing if he had a similar welcome as I did. Wearing a stylish jacket with matching sneakers, he laid his mask on the seat in between them.

I don’t mind the silence of the ride, the awkward quiet was actually a blessing seeing as I was almost stuck talking to the cabby the whole way to my destination. Thinking of the cabby now, I asked him where exactly he was taking us.

Inhaling a large amount of smoke from his half-lit cigarette before answering, the fatty driver responded “Tier 7 baby, a place for the worst of the worst in Coruscant.”

I was almost shaking with anticipation, this place sounded like just like where I can start trouble with little resistance from the law. The law was no fun, and Harley only liked to have fun. Besides, at any moment, the crazy will overtake me and the consequence might be severe.

Then the sound abruptly changed from quite and awkward to terrifying with the sound of sirens and the flash of lights appearing behind him.

"Primes, this is the Judge. Suspect One; killing EPD personnel and evading capture. Sentence; death. Suspect two; possible collusion with a known criminal. Sentence; detention and questioning. Cab driver. Pull over the vehicle immediately."

"Well, that was fast!" I quipped turning around and sticking my tongue out at the pig on the motorbike. With the cop suddenly appearing behind us the cabby nervously jerked the wheel and began screaming uncontrollably.

“What the fuck did you guys do?!?” He bellowed as he started to slow this cab down. Afraid of my freedom I brought Baby right up to his face, the wood eye level.

“If you stop this cab you're going to have two people in the back seat with murder charges,” I told him my voice stern and full of warning.

“Do you know who that is!?! It’s Judge Dredd! I am not losing my cab over this shit.” the old bastard replied back as sweat became pouring down his face.

Turning around to look at the chicken head crook, I saw him opening the cab door and releasing an onslaught of bullets at the cop. Fuck this, and Fuck that, for once I didn’t do anything. Sheeesh, here I am being good samaritan one time and this is the thanks I get. Without any further hesitation and with one swift kick I sent the crook out of the hovercraft, tumbling down cursing as he fell into the city darkness below.

“I am sorry doll face, but I am not risking my new found freedom. Meet me in slums of tier 7!” I called after him as he disappeared from view.

Climbing into the front seat beside the frustrated cabby I asked him how much farther do we have to our destination?

With a mild annoyance in his voice, he replied “20 minutes maybe 25.” That was not good enough for me I needed to hide out and escape the law. Even though I did not do anything wrong, yet, I break under government pressure which will cause me to do jail time.

“Make it in 10” I commanded the now kidnapped cabby. “I mean it punch it!”
