Joke's On You

Chapter 6

Sienna's POV

She woke up the next morning to a loud knock at the door. Sienna opened her eyes and was greeted by the sun shining into the large bedroom. She turned to look at her boyfriend who was stirring in his sleep. His green hair had fallen into his face and Sienna thought about how damn perfect and peaceful he looked right now. A smile formed on her lips as she watched him a minute longer until she heard another, more urgent knock this time. She sighed and wanted to get out of bed but J suddenly opened his crystal blue eyes and grabbed his purple gun that always lay onto the table next to their bed. "Who the fuck is that?", he asked, very annoyed.

"I don't know, baby. That's why I wanted to check the door", Sienna said and leaned closer to him to give him a kiss on his red lips. He lowered his gun but grunted as she pulled away way too soon. "What time is it?", he asked as Sienna got up. "9 am", she said over her shoulder as she left the bedroom but she could still hear J snarl: "I'll kill whoever is at the door at this time."

Sienna smiled as she pulled on her black dressing gown and was careful that every part of her body was covered as she opened the front door, only to find two of J's henchmen standing there, utterly relived that Sienna and not J opened it. "Do you have any idea how early it is?", she asked them and both men lowered their eyes as they realized that she was only wearing a thin dressing gown. "We are very sorry, Miss...", said one of them, Garrett, instantly. "But we have important news." Sienna sighed and opened the door for both of them. "Come in", she said and they passed her reluctantly. They obviously didn't want to face their boss.

"What is it?", she asked and crossed her arms as she led them into the living room. Benny, the other henchman, started to speak: "We noticed that someone broke into one of Mr J's warehouses to steal weapons. A lot of things are missing..."

"Where?", asked Sienna, already suspecting a person who might be responsible for this.

"Near the Gotham River", responded Garrett. Sienna nodded and wanted to say something else but she was cut off when a very pissed off J entered the room, only wearing his black Arkham sweatpants. His anger rose even more when he noticed in what kind of attire Sienna was facing his henchmen. J loaded his gun and pointed it at the two men, a menacing look in his eyes. "WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE? I DIDN'T SEND FOR YOU!", he yelled, stalking towards both of them. Garrett and Benny were obviously shaking with fear. "Calm down, baby and just listen to what they have to say", Sienna tried to talk some sense into him but J still didn't lower his gun. He only squinted his eyes. "You better make it quick!", he said with a growl and looked between Garrett und Benny. Both of them told him what they had told Sienna as well, even though their voices were now filled with fear and they stuttered at almost every word.

"Leave", J snarled as they were done with their report.

"But, boss...What should we—"

"I SAID LEAVE!", yelled J and the henchmen almost fled out of the room. J finally lowered his gun and looked at Sienna. "We need to talk, doll." His voice gave no emotion away and she returned his gaze, confused. "I didn't do anything", she immediately defended herself. J closed the distance between them and took her face in his hands. "Then tell me, sweet cheeks...Why are they informing you instead of me?", he asked and she met his intense gaze without blinking. "Because I opened the door and you were still in bed."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Don't fool me, baby. This has happened more often recently", he said and Sienna let out a sigh. He really didn't get it, did he?

"Fine", she said. "They are scared of you, J! You lose your temper with them almost every time and I'm just...you know, easier to talk to. I will not kill them because they have bad news for us. At least they are brave enough to come here all by themselves and report to you, even though they probably know that they won't survive this."
