Summary: After Rexford Kaylock's death Jacob notices a young girl weeping over his body. Upon his approach the young girl takes off running. Worried for her safety in the middle of London Jacob gives chase. How will the Frye twins cope with such a bundle of energy?
As the last of the Rooks left the yard, Jacob cast a glance back to the fallen body of Rexford Kaylock. A young girl of no more than eight was kneeling beside him gently shaking his shoulders and crying.
Evie called over "Jacob, are you coming. The police are going to show up"
He glanced over at her "There's a girl by Kaylock's body, I'll go see what she wants"
Jacob approached the girl at a slow pace, she was fairly well dressed for her age. As he got closer he could hear what she was sobbing. She was mourning Kaylock's death, she was mourning her father's death. The world came crashing down around Jacob as he realised what Kaylock's death meant for this child. Kneeling down beside her he put a gentle hand on her shoulder. The girl froze and turned to look at him "Sir, why isn't my dad waking up?"
For the first time Jacob found himself speechless as the girl stared at him searching for an answer.
"He isn't waking up because he's dead sweetie." The voice of his twin sister echoed over his shoulder as the young girl broke down into hysterical sobbing in his lap.
Evie sat down next to him "What is your name honey? I'm Evie and this is Jacob" The girl looked up at her "My name is Charity Kaylock, Why was he killed?" Evie shared a glance with him. Her eyes displayed pure shock and guilt as she leaned forwards. " I'm sorry, I was given orders to kill your dad as he was hurting people."
The girl scrambled away "You're lying, my daddy was a good man." She stood up and took off running towards the main road.
Evie turned to Jacob "I'll go after her. Make sure you give her dad a proper burial, it's the least we can do".
A/N: I often wondered if the targets had families and how they would feel when they learn their loved one was killed. Charity Kaylock is an character I created
