Live or Die

Chapter 66

Frost's POV

As Frost came to the penthouse late this afternoon he had a handful of information for Sienna and Mr J. It wasn't much and it was for sure not enough for him, because he still didn't made any progress in finding Klara but it was at least something.

Frost entered the room and just as he was about to tell Mr J what Iwan and Tommy found out in Chicago he stopped dead in his tracks and watched with a smile that suddenly appeared on his face how little Maisie was standing on her own feet with no help and walked towards her mother with shaking legs.

Mr J was standing in front of her, watching with a wide grin what his daughter was just doing.

"Oh my god J did you see this? She made it!" Sienna cheered and picked her child up, kissing her cheeks and cuddling her what made the little one laugh in joy. "She's a natural, just like her dad" Mr J said, obviously proud but was soon interrupted by his daughter saying "Tree!", out loud and pointing into Frost's direction with a big smile on her face. Mr J's smile faded and his facial expression got all serious again. "What is it, Frost? Make it quick" Mr J said, looking at his right hand.

"I have news for you, from Tommy and Iwan" Frost explained, what made Mr J all ears again. "Tell me everything" he said, while Sienna was keeping Maisie occupied. But she was listening closely as well out of the little corner where she was standing.Frost was so glad she had changed her mind about finding Klara.

"Tommy and Iwan had been to Chicago and they asked a few club owners about Griggs" Frost said.

"And?" Mr J asked, growing obviously impatient.

"They knew him and we were able to say in which parts of the city. He's probably living at the south side. The people we talked to couldn't give us an address because he seems to be very careful about telling people where he lives. He probably knows that you're after him boss, and of course ... he wants to avoid that ... someone could help ... Klara ..." The last words cost him a lot energy to spill them out. The pictures of the video tapes hit his mind again and he didn't even want to know what that asshole might be doing with her at the moment. Today ... on her birthday ... God what wouldn't he give to have her here already, so that she didn't have to endure more of Griggs' treatments.

"Tommy and Iwan are still in Chicago. We told the others to watch over the four city districts in which he's probably living, we're getting closer boss."

"Good, keep updating me and tell the others to hurry up, I've waited long enough for my revenge" Mr J said, looking out of the window with a murderous glare to the rainy sight of Gotham. It seemed like a sad and lonely day, everything was grey, like always for Frost since Klara left, only that he now knew that everyday could be her last day while they were still searching for Griggs.

"Of course boss" Frost replied, deep drowned into his own thoughts. But he soon was ripped out of them as he felt something tiny hugging his leg. It was Maisie, who just walked over to him all on her own as if she wanted to say: "Don't be sad, tree."

Frost smiled down at her and patted her head. "Since when is she doing this?" he asked Sienna.

"She started to try walking an hour ago" Sienna answered him, also she seemed to got ripped out of her own thoughts by Frost's question. And according to her facial expression she must've thought about Klara as well.

"That's great, she's growing so fast" Frost said, helping Maisie to turn her direction on her little feet so that she could walk back to her mother. "Yes we're really proud of her" Sienna said, watching Maisie how she was walking back to her but suddenly the little one was losing her balance, falling to the ground and starting to cry immediately.
