"Right which probably means he wants you to wait this time. I am just giving advice Commisioner. Our HRT is in DC hours away." Thomas replied, "So I should call then?"

He began leading them into the command trailer, directing Agent Cosgrave to the phone. "Go ahead... by the time they get here, we'll hopefully have figured out his plan. In the meantime... French Roast or Gotham Gourmet?"

"I'll try the Gotham blend." Thomas walked over and picked up the phone. Immediately he heard the ringing on the other side of the line and he know there were bells ringing in the bank.

Another tape is thrown out of the bank. No one answers the phone.

Still holding the phone to his ear Thomas looks at Gorden, "I think he is stalling. If I were you I would send my men in know."

He looked over at Bullock, who shrugged.
Gordon stared at the bank for a while before turning to Harvey. "Make the call..."
He lit himself a cigarette as Bullock left. "I pray they're already dead... I have a daughter at Gotham University and I'm always worried some angry, stupid kid is going to walk in with an Uzi and gun down her classroom. Then I look outside my window and I realize I'm not just worrying, I'm waiting for..." before he could finish the observation, Harvey stuck his head through the door.
"SWATs on its way. Got a new tape too." He passed it to the Commisioner, who placed in a VCR.

Thomas leaned over and watched the tape, "The clown probably killed again. Has the Joker ever dressed all the hostages as clowns?"

On the screen appears the Jokers face. He looks morose and sad. "I'm sorry to have to say that the police haven't been playing along." In the background the voice of one of the thugs can be heard. "No boss. They couldn't ruin our fun." "Oh but they are. I tried to be friendly I tried to play fair but they leave me no choice." The camera pans to three civilians quivering on the ground. Suddenly the screen turns green. The gas finally dissapates and the three civilians, two men and a pregnant woman start to shake, then rock back and forth. The three start to chuckle, then they laugh hysterically. Their faces twist and their lips start to crack and break through their cheeks. Their eyes go feral and and their mouths start to bleed and bubble. Finally they lay still with their smiles etched onto their faces. Their laughter fades away until only one remains. "To the policeman of Gotham. I distinctly remember warning you that I would kill all my hostages unless you leave the premise. You have fifteen minutes to leave and wait patiently for Batsy like the rest of us. Now ta-ta."

Tom looked at the Gorden, "You have to go... that is there only chance. Unless the legendary Batman gets here first."

Gordon slammed his fist into the chair. "Damnit... where is he?!"
"Maybe Batmook only does nightshift?"
"This is no time for jokes!"
"Tell that to the Joker."
"Go get the damn team!"
Harvey shrugged and left, grabbing a doughnut before leaving.
---------------------------------------
"Hey boss..." One goon said to the Joker. "Aint we going to open the vault and grab some loot?"
It was obvious they were growing bored with all this technical work and waiting and hanging around druggy hostages.
The Mad Hatter was playing a Game Boy he had acquired from one of the child hostages. It seemed to keep him quite content.

Thomas unconciously checked his gun, and looked out the open door. He still cradled the ringing phone against his ear.

The Joker looked at the clown painfully. "Go...take one of the hostages...and pick up the money in the vaults...pick one who would know how to do it...ok?" The sane were so simple...they had to be told everything.

For a second Thomas sat there surprised the replied smoothly,"Can I place an order for delivery?"
Looking up at the Commish he mouthed the word 'Stalling'.
