Joke's On You

Chapter 12

Sienna's POV

She came just at the right moment. Sienna stared daggers at the man who threatened Frost with a gun against his temple and drew her own golden gun, a gift from J which he had given her a a long time ago. The bullet hit the man straight between the eyes and his lifeless body fell to the ground next to Frost. J's right hand looked at her with a grateful expression on his face. "It's not over", she said and took a quick look around the room.

Sienna raised her gun again to shoot a man who was attacking one of her own people but her gun was kicked out of her hand by one of Falcone's men. "You gotta be more careful, beautiful!", he laughed but Sienna jumped and wrapped her legs around the man's shoulders, throwing him to the ground. He let her gun fall.

But he was stronger than expected. The man rolled them over and looked down at her, drawing a knife from his belt. Sienna tried to kick him, but the man made sure that she couldn't move an inch. "Ahhh, you've got fire. I like that!", he grinned and was about to ram his knife into her chest, but the man suddenly was thrown off of her by none other than Frost. J's right hand slit the man's throat with his own knife and Sienna was able to pick up her gun. Frost had just saved her life.

"Thank you", she said, still trying to catch her breath and Frost gave her a short nod. The sound of machine guns still filled the entire apartment and Sienna almost didn't hear Frost's fearful scream: "Klara!" She quickly followed Frost's eyes and saw the young girl surrounded by at least five of Falcone's men, pointing their weapons at her. Sienna and Frost raised their guns at the same time and started to shoot them down. One by one fell to the ground and the girl named Klara dared to open her eyes again. She looked at the dead men to her feet and then her eyes locked with Frost's. "Baby!", she cried out and ran towards him, jumping into his arms. Sienna took a step back and a small smile appeared on her face. She looked around the room once more, because she noticed that it became awfully quiet. All of Falcone's men were laying dead on the floor. But Sienna also recognized the bodies of four of her own henchmen being dead.

"What's this?", the young girl suddenly laughed. "Toy story?" She looked at the masked henchmen and pointed at their costumes. "You're not in the position for making jokes right now", said Sienna but all of a sudden several henchmen raised their machine guns and pointed them at Klara. "What the hell?", screamed Sienna and shot them all a questioning look. "What are you doing?", her voice was sharp. "Command from the boss", answered one of the shark men but Sienna shook her head. "I'm not gonna let any of you kill a young girl", she said. "We will bring them both to J. And that is my command."

"Sorry, Miss. But we're more afraid of the boss and what he's about to do when we disobey him", explained the man. Sienna rolled her eyes and drew her gun from her holster. She shot the man right into his heart. Then she turned around and looked at the other henchmen with a faked smile. "Anyone else?"

"Wow, I like her!", smiled Klara.

The henchmen shared a look with each other and then lowered their guns. "The boss will kill her though", said one of them. "It doesn't matter if it happens here or in his club."

"We'll see", said Sienna but she knew that the henchman was probably right. She just didn't want to be in charge when the girl was about to be killed. "You have to explain a lot to me and J, Frost", said Sienna as they were about to leave the building. "I know and I'm really sorry", he said but stopped when he noticed that Klara wasn't following them. Sienna saw the girl taking a last look at her completely destroyed apartment. "My apartment...", she whispered.

"That's the least of your problems right now", said Sienna and gestured to Frost that they needed to hurry. Frost took Klara's hand and led her away from her place. "Where are you taking us?", she asked and her blue eyes met Sienna's brown ones. "To the Smile and Grin club", she replied shortly and continued to make her way down the stairs.
