The dirigible continued north to Germany, piloted by Chang, personal pilot to one of the Joker’s friends, Fu Yu, the Mongolian warlord with whom he had made a deal earlier. So careful had the Joker been of this operation that he hadn’t wanted to use a European. Fu Yu had been amenable to a deal, and had had one of his air units stationed in Albania, part of a complex deal he had been putting together.

Assisted by the dirigible’s powerful pusher engines, they were back over Germany before daylight.

As the dirigible hovered, the Joker said, “I’ve already put aside the art treasures I promised your master. You can look them over and see that everything is correct.”

The Mongolian pilot shrugged. “If you say OK, is OK. You’d have to be crazier than I think you are to doublecross my master. He isn’t soft like those mafiosi.”

“I didn’t double-cross them, Chang,” the Joker said. “They double-crossed me. I just happened to have an ace up my sleeve.”

“You called the cops on them.”

“Precisely. Because I knew they were going to double-cross me.”

“But what would you have done if they hadn’t double-crossed you?”

“I would have figured out some way to get them out,” the Joker said. “I’m an honest criminal, at least that’s what everyone says. You can put me down here. My chalet is right down there.”

“You’ve got it,” Chang said.

“My regards to General Fu Yu,” the Joker said.

“Thank you, Joker,” Chang said. “I will tell him.”
