Joke's On You

Chapter 5

Frost's POV

"Yes, boss?" Frost picked up the phone his voice more silent this time.

Klara had fallen asleep half an hour ago after he finally guessed her name.

Klara, like the girl in the Nutcracker she'd told him, he still was wondering if there was something more behind that name she looked kinda sad after telling him not as hyperactive as before and not that girlishly anymore.

She nearly looked serious and after telling him she fell asleep.

Something inside of him was tingling again whilst looking at her.

There was something under this black mask he hadn't seen yet.

But for now he had to focus on what he was telling his boss, since Frost didn't have any new information for him and Mr J would go on a killing spree if he would find out what Frost was doing right now.

"You didn't call me back", Mr J snarled at the other end of the conversation.

"Didn't you make any progress?"

Frost bit his tongue he couldn't tell him what happened, not yet.

He would kill the girl if he'd know that Frost was with her and ... he didn't want that to happen, even though she was exhausting something about all that behavior was lovable and he already knew that there was something behind that façade, something he had to discover before he could really understand why she's acting like she does.

So after a few hours with her in this car he had to admit that he seems to have feelings for that little thing on the passenger seat.

"There had been complications ..."Frost said looking at Klara again.

This day must have been quite heavy for her and she still wants to help him, he couldn't let something happen to her.

"Oh, Frosty...You know that I hate that word with every fiber of my being" Mr J cut him off.

"Boss I ..." Frost began for a second try but this time Mr J started to yell, he was mad.

"Shut up when I'm talking!"

"Your well-being can't afford any more difficulties. I gave you one chance to make your failure up to me, Frosty. One! I won't tolerate you coming back with empty hands, do you understand?" Mr J asked his voice threatening.

"Of course, boss", was all that Frost could respond right now.

Hopefully Mr J's yelling didn't wake up Klara.

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again", Frost said feeling really uncomfortable in his skin right now.

He never pissed Mr J off like that and it didn't feel good at all.

"Your promise means nothing if you don't keep it!" Mr J hissed and hung up the phone before Frost could've said anything more.

He sighed.

They had to find this stupid sapphire otherwise Klara and him wouldn't get out of this alive.

Frost parked the SUV behind a warehouse near the Gotham River.

Mr J always had some weapons here for emergencies, he knew that this wasn't a good idea to kinda steal some of them but they hadn't much of a choice at the moment and if they could get back the sapphire Mr J wouldn't be that mad about a few lost weapons anymore.

If not ... well ... there was no "If not."

"Klara ..." Frost whispered at her ear after turning off the motor of the car.
