Chapter 5
Home
Joker and Ema are having a break because the chief of the police told them to take a very long break due to the big case in, Japan and her concern over Joker's health. So Joker took Ema to his place because Ema cannot go back home. As you may know, she is legally dead and her family and friends cannot visit her due to the fact that Ema is famous for Joker in the criminal world.
Joker: This is my Home, Ema! This is the place that saved my life when I was basically homeless, this place is my adopted mother's house. The house is big it has plenty of rooms for all of us. Outside we have a huge garden because my mother likes to plant exotic plants.
Ema: That is so cool that your mother likes plants and that I get to see your home, I kinda miss my home too.
Joker: I know that feeling, Ema. I have that feeling every single day.
Ema: She enters the living room!............................................
Ema: Wow that is a huge TV!
Joker: Yes, I know! It is a Samsung TV with ultimate HD, feel free to watch some Tv, if you want?
Ema: Not today!
Ema: Watching a picture with Joker and some girl?
Joker: That is somebody I know and you do not need to know, who she is.
Ema: I see still grumpy as always.
Joker: I'm going to sleep!
Ema: Have a nice sleep!
Joker: I forgot, you are going to sleep on the sofa because we do not have so much space.
Ema: I understand!
Ema: I'm not sleepy, so I'm going to watch some TV.
Ema: Watching TV...................................................
Ema: Hearing something......................
Door: Knock Knock!
Door: The door opens!
Person: Hello!
Ema: Should I answer? ( thinking to herself)
Person: The person comes inside the house.
Ema: Hello, Who are you?
Abi: Hello, I'm, Abi and who are you?
Ema: My name is, Ema and I'm Jokers' partner.
Abi: Nice to meet you, dear.
Ema: The same to you!
Abi: I'm surprised that, My brother has a partner. I'm now really surprised and curious why he choose you as his partner?
Ema: WOOOOOOOOOW! He never told me he had such a beautiful sister.
Abi: It is just like my brother he is so uptight and stubborn and I'm super angry that he did not tell me, his sister, that he had such a cute partner.
Ema: Hey! I'm not a child I'm a teenager
Abi: Really? You look so cute that I couldn't see that you are a teenager.
Ema: I heard the same thing at my school.
Abi: I can see that.
Abi: Going to the kitchen.........................
Abi: I'm going to grab some beer, Do you want some?
Ema: I want to drink some, coke.
Abi&Ema: Sitting on the sofa.
Ema: She has blue eyes, grayish hair and she is taller than me and also more trained. ( thinking to herself)
Ema: You are pretty well trained, Abi?
Abi: Thanks! I have to be well trained it is part of my job.
Ema: What job is that?
Abi: I'm a police officer with the highest rank. You could say it runs within the family.
Ema: I actually agree.
Abi: After you told me about yourself, I'm going to let you get some rest and later I'm going to show you my shooting skills, does it sound good to you?
Ema: Sure I would love that.
Ema: My name is, Ema and I'm 18 years old soon and I'm the new forensic scientist but I'm more in a freelancer way. I have been working with Joker for almost 4 or more months.
Abi: Wow! After so long time I cannot believe, Joker, hide that for me. By the way, I'm 8 years older than you.
Ema: So you must be, 26.
Abi: That is correct.
Abi: Why did you join?
Ema: I joined because at first, I wanted to get a good grade and impress my teachers and friends I taught it would not be too dangerous to write about a scientific essay on crime scenes but it backfired.
Abi: Being a police force is not a joke, Ema! I have seen my colleges die or have taken suicide. (Rants)
Ema: Well if it's making you happy. I was wrong.
Abi: Tell me, what backfired? ( Serious look)
Ema: My stubbornness got me almost killed plenty of times because I went with, Joker on a dangerous case.
Abi: It is so typical my brother, he does not show any empathy to other people, he should have known that the case was too dangerous for you. (Angrier)
Ema: But now I cannot see my friends nor my family.
Abi: Let me guess you are legally dead.
Ema: I'm so sad right now that you are right.
Abi: I'm still amazed that you did not want, the police protection since most people would have taken it. Instead, you took your own life in your hands and went to our world.
Abi: You must feel honored that I'm praising you because it is rare for me to say so.
Ema: Smiling ........................
Abi: Why are you smiling?
Ema: Because you are so alike, Joker! You both say sometimes the same things.
Abi: A lot of people said the same.
Abi: You should sleep I can see that you have dark circles around your eyes. You guys must be so tired after the trip to Japan.
Ema: After I have slept please tell me more about, Joker?
Abi: You have a deal!
Joker: Staring at his phone............... Seeing old pictures.
Joker: Tears dropping................
Joker: My friends and my brother if I only could have saved you or have done something more or even have died with you, i would have been saved. ( Thinking to himself)
Joker: Vision!!! I would not forget it, what you have done nor let the police take you to jail. I will kill you no matter how many life sentences I get. You killed every person that I loved or persons that saw, what you did. My friends were unfortunate to have seen him because we lived next door if they did not they would have been alive. I'm going to destroy generation X. ( Thinking to himself)
Joker: Before I go to sleep I must drink my medicine herbs that, Dragon gave me, for my eye and I must say I'm feeling better by each day.
Joker: Drinking his medicine and feel asleep.
After a long day
Dad: Abi, Who is this girl that just woke up in our living room?
Abi: Hey, Dad! She is my brother's partner and she has no home to go to so, Angel asked, mom if she could stay with us.
Dad: I see so she is the girl that your mother keeps talking about and I'm shocked that, Angel gave her a helping hand.
Dad: Yes indeed. I'm going off to work soon so if you may cook dinner for us.
Abi: Sure!
Ema: Then I'm glad that I just woke up because I love food.
Dad: Hi, Ema, would you help, Abi to make food?
Ema: Why not! This is the least I could do because your hospitality is amazing in this family.
Dad&Abi: We are happy that you would think that.
Ema: How did the chief and you got married?
Dad: Sure I might tell you the story before we eat.
Dad: I Worked in a flower shop and I still do. I meet a girl that came to my flower shop almost all the time. She said to me that I had the most prettiest flowers and that she loved gardening. To tell you the truth it was odd to see a person love so many flowers, trees as that woman and she was knowledgeable. The odd thing about the person that I saw was she was so straight forward and she had a bit of temper because usually flowers lovers are usually silenced people and lonely. That woman told me if I could give her a discount since she wanted to buy plenty of flowers and trees since her salary was not great at the time. She later told me that she worked as a police officer so I told her of course, anything for my customer. She told me later that I was so sweet that she asked me on a date and I said why not.
Ema: Wow! That story is so Romantic.
Abi: You could not have said it better.
Ema: If I may ask, are you a silent type of person since you are a flower lover?
Dad: I' am actually both since my job requires me to be talk active with the customers and I love gardening like my wife.
Abi: Let's cook!
Abi&Ema: Are cooking..................
Ema: You told me after I fall asleep, you would tell me about, Joker?
Abi: First of all, Joker is his code name he is called Angel. Angel is the most uptight person in the universe and also stubborn. He hate feelings but who could blame him after that tragic event he felt during his childhood. To tell you the truth he has never forgotten that tragic event sometimes he sleeps good and some nights he does not. The thing that worries me the most is that he is not leaving it behind, he is holding everything inside as a sister and a family we are worried but he does not care. He most likely misses his family and he thinks sometimes we cannot replace his family.
Ema: I guess wounds need to heal.
Abi: Maybe but I think for, Joker the only wounds he will heal is if he catches Vision, dead or alive, and burns down, Generation X and their followers.
Abi: Trust me I have witnessed many cops who were good then later they become criminals as there own personal vendetta, which later it turned to suicide because they were caught by the police/FBI/CSI.
Ema: Sometimes the coldness in his eyes is scaring me.
Abi: We all have that pain in this life we want to forget, but listen as a partner and a friend you must protect him from doing things he would regret.
Ema: I will try!
Abi: When he first came to us when mother took him in he was only 14 years old. You could see the coldness in his eyes like he saw something horrible and he wanted to kill the guy who caused him so much pain in his life. We had to as a family stopped him from leaving it was sad that I have never witnessed before.
Ema: That is so sad!
Abi: That boy could not talk for almost a year my, father and mother did not know how to handle the situation since they didn't know him so well. So we went to a psychologist. Later, Angel got better and he started to adapt to his new family. His first word for a very long time was to my mother. He told her if I could recall it correctly what I heard,'' I want to become a detective and to surpass everyone so that nobody feels the same pain as I did nor walk the same shoes'' My mother was touched and so was the entire family. The ironic thing was that my mother worked really hard to get to the chief position on that day, the same day, Angel spoke for a very long time. Later my mother sends him to the police academy and he passed which we did not count on. He passed the test too quickly. When it comes to analyzing things in Lab he was not good at that since he never took interest in it. He felt that it was boring.  As a detective, Angel got the highest arrest but he was charged with getting to much rootlessness or spacing away. That is how much he hates crime, later Angel was an outcast of the police force and nobody wanted to be his partner he lost his fame if you may say that. That is the main reason he got what he wished for he joined the detective branch division. So believe me, Ema if you were scared of his cold look try to snap him out of it otherwise than look means he is not afraid to kill.
Ema: Why does, Angel has no partner after so many years his been here?
Abi; Shit! I forgot to tell you that but he accidentally killed his partner three years ago. His partner tried to stop him from killing the killer that nearly stabbed his partner to death. He was so disconnected and fueled with anger he was aiming to shoot the killer even tho he begged for mercy but his partner wanted to stop, Joker from doing that so he accidentally shoots his partner, and later he resigned his position as a cop. He could not handle more life and death situations. As a cop nor a detective life is not easy do not forget that, Ema.
Ema: This is the first time I heard that it is so sad if I was in his shoes I would too have gone mad. I would have hated the world just like Joker.
Abi: The reason, Angel acts childish, is his own way to relax in this world and joke through his pain in life and sadness it is like his therapy. He is afraid to return to his old ways, to hurt people that he care about. That is why Ema he does not want you in his cases nor in your life because he thinks he will injure you or kill you as he did with his partners.
Ema: This is so sad even for him! Thanks, Abi you made me understood, Joker more than I could ever imagine. One last question before we eat does he have friends?
Abi: Yes as matter of fact he has two childhood friends that are lucky to be alive he visits them sometimes to check up on them and their safety.
Ema: Glad something is positive in his life.
Abi: Me too!
Dad: The Most positive impact this person had was you. In some way, you've changed him in a lot of ways. He has a partner and he is willing to open up to you as a father I'm happy.
Ema: Thanks
Abi: The reason he wants you as a partner I think it is because you are just a bit like him, fearless, eager and stubborn, collective, smart but you are more open, eager, and straightforward than he is.
Family: Eating...............................................
Abi: Now let me show you my weapon skills I'm one of the best shooters in the police force and I'm well known in the world I go by the codename - Gray-sniper or Kill.
DAD: Later guys I have to go to my job.
Ema&Abi
Abi: Let us go to the garden.
Ema: Won't your father and mother be mad?
Abi: No worries! I'm going to use air guns with steel round balls. Do not worry they are not harmless or loud but they are big enough to hit the targets.
Abi: Pick anything up and I will shoot it with my handgun.
Ema: Ema is placing the cork in the garden next to the tall grass.
Abi: I'm going to take a shoot at it from 40m
Ema: watching......................................
Abi: Bam!
Ema: Wow! I could see the bullet scratched then corked. The shoot was impossible to make.
Ema: Is placing a tennis ball on the grass.
Abi: Fall back I'm going to shoot.
Abi: Bam! Bam!
Ema: Wow! She hit the target.
Joker: That noise could only have come from my sister. She is in the shooting mode and if that happens you won't sleep. (Â Thinking to himself.)
Joker: Sister I know a way better challenge for you, sounds like fun?
Ema: Yes it does!
Abi: Sure!
Joker: Is putting some pawn bottles down on the grass.
Abi: You right, Angel this is funny.
Angel: Shoot every pawn bottle that was on the grass.
Ema: You are awesome.
Abi: Thanks!
Joker: Ema, You had your rest now let us go somewhere I need to be.
Ema: Sure!
Abi: Brother, I will follow.
Joker: As you wish.
Joker: But first I need to eat and brush my teeth.
Abi: Then I will keep shooting until you are ready to go.
Joker: Yay! (Sarcasm)
