Joke's On You

Chapter 24

Sienna's POV

She was just about to leave the penthouse and go downstairs to Klara's room again when all of a sudden the front door opened. Sienna heard J shouting at Frost as they entered the hallway and she immediately got to her feet to figure out what the hell was going on again.

"I DON'T NEED YOU WHEN YOU CAN'T FOCUS!", yelled J and had a murderous look in his eyes as he was facing his right hand. "YOU'VE NEVER BEEN THAT USELESS!"

"Boss, listen. I'm sorry, okay? But I told you that I wouldn't be able to think about something other than Klara", explained Frost and he didn't look back as J started to circle him like a predator its prey. "I'm so sick of your shitty feelings, Frosty."

"What the fuck is going on here?", asked Sienna and crossed her arms. J glanced at her but his face didn't soften. "Stay out of this, doll."

She knew that he was probably right but she could also understand Frost's pain and his struggle to focus on work when Klara was constantly on his mind. And her desire to help was stronger than her sanity. "J, you can't expect him to concentrate on his work when his girlfriend could die any moment."

"I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS!", screamed J and then turned his attention back to Frost. "I could always rely on you, Frosty. But you're a completely different man since you met that little bitch."

"Boss, please stop calling her—"

"I'LL CALL HER WHAT I WANT!", yelled J and now stood directly in front of Frost. His mad expression suddenly turned into a wide smile. The Smile.

He got closer to Frost and took his face into his pale hands. J's mad laugher echoed through the whole penthouse. "HAHAHAHA, Frosty!", he patted his cheek. "Maybe it would be better to turn off these machines that keep her alive. Then you wouldn't have to worry about her anymore!"

All of a sudden Frost freed himself from J's grip and shoved him away. J looked at him, surprised and started to laugh again. "Ahhh, I wouldn't have done that if I were you, Frosty."

"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FEELINGS BESIDES HATE AND MADNESS!", screamed Frost and started to breathe heavily. Sienna's eyes widened in shock and she instantly reached out for J to stop him from strangling his right hand to death. But to her surprise, J didn't move at all. He just stared at Frost. The silence was even worse.

It wouldn't end good for Frost if Sienna wouldn't interfere.

"You're weak", said J after a while, looking at his henchman with hatred. "This little slut made you weak. You're better off without her." A growl escaped J's red lips. "Let me do the job if you can't do it. I'll gladly shoot a bullet in her pretty head."

"J! How dare you—", but Sienna was cut off when Frost punched his boss straight in the face. J stumbled backwards and held his nose which started to bleed immediately. "OH MY GOD, FROST!", cried Sienna and went over to J's side. As she reached for his face he pulled away from her. J didn't even return her gaze and just turned to Frost again. Sienna had never seen him so angry.

J suddenly grabbed Frost's purple tie and made him fall to his knees. He kicked him straight into the face, so that Frost fell over. As he got up again, Sienna noticed that his lip was bruised and bleeding.

"STOP! BOTH OF YOU!", she screamed but of course neither of them listened to her. All she could do now was trying to pull them apart from each other. Therefore Sienna grabbed J's arm as he was about to punch Frost again. He quickly glared at her and slapped her hand away. "BACK OFF, DOLL!"

But Sienna didn't give up. She jumped between them so that neither Frost nor J could punch each other again. She just didn't notice the gun J drew from his holster and he accidentally hit her head as she tried to make them stop fighting.
