Enjoy!
Sofia drove her car through Gotham, just barely reaching the city limits since leaving Arkham island. Her thoughts about Strange and Warden Sharp still burning in her mind.
A place for criminals to be kept in. Not for them to walk around freely and do what they want.
Sofie squeezed the steering wheel, feeling her anger boil up inside her. How could someone be so arrogant when they're just as hypocritical. The idea only worrying her more that Jonathan and J were stillstuck inside. Although she knew they were more than capable of handling things on their own. She still couldn't keep herself from worrying. God, she wanted them out of there. She may have trusted Jeremiah, but Arkham was nowhere near as safe a place for people like her than many thought.
It was just a place to torture, exploit and experiment on its patients without Jeremiah knowing. He was just one man, even with Cash and his team, Sharp and that creepy doctor still had horrible intentions. She really hoped J had a plan and that it involved Jonathan, but she was losing patience.
Sofie reached over for the dashboard and pressed the call button.
Beep….Beep….Beep
'Took a bit longer than expected. Was his lecture a hefty one?' Frost came through the speaker
She snorted, "When are his lectures not hefty? Besides, I got caught up in a bit of a scuffle."
'Hm. Sounds about right.'
She rolled her eyes, "Is everything ready for tonight?"
'Of course.'
"Good. I need you to get ahold of Nygma."
There was a sight pause, 'Does J know about this?'
"Well…No. But I'd just like to discuss a few things with him."
'Perhaps we should wait until the right time.'
She frowned, "Aren't you supposed to follow my orders?"
'Yes. But I'm also supposed to keep your best intentions in mind.'
"And what makes you think my intentions aren't the best in this situation?"
'Just trust me Sofie.'
Liar
She grunted and shook her head. Stupid voices. She then quickly pressed the end call button on the screen.
Frost held the phone to his ear in confusion, "Sofie?"
There was no answer.
He sighed, now looking at the home screen on his phone, "Just like her brother." He muttered to himself
Knock
Knock
Frost turned to look at the door in J's office, "Yes?"
A young woman poked her head inside.
"Spade? What can I do for you?" he asked
"Uhm. You have a delivery here."
Frost furrowed his brows, "Delivery? I don't recall ordering in for more supplies."
She shook her head nervously, "I'm not sure sir. But they need your signature."
Bzzzzzzzzzz
Frost glanced down at his phone to see a text from one of the men at Arkham.
Boss says times almost up. Make sure everything's in order.
"Sir?"
Frost sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Uh. Yes. Thank you, I'll be right there."
Spade nodded and glanced around the office before stepping back outside. Frost watched her and followed the woman out into the hall. Her eyes remained locked inside of the room until Frost stared at her as he shut and locked the door behind him. She wore a shimmery gold backless dress with matching gold pumps. The outfit all of the bartenders wore, and servers wore. He also noticed her hair a different color.
"You changed your hair?"
Spade placed some of her short hair behind her ear, "Uh yea. The girls said I looked too plain, so they figured changing my hair up would help with sales."
Frost had to admit. She did look a lot more mature and the black hair made her pale skin stand out more. But he remained indifferent.
"Aren't you supposed to be at the bar preparing for the night? Normally jade would come inform me."
She lowered her head slightly as if she was a scared child getting chastised by a parent, "I… Jade dropped a glass in the sink and cut her hand before the delivery arrived. She told me to let you know while she got it cleaned up."
Frost watched her while her eyes were almost an empty shade of gray. It was a bit unsettling, he cleared his throat and ushered her to follow him, "Right. Well thanks for letting me know. Please go back to the bar Spade and put on your mask. Club will be opening soon."
Spade eventually nodded as they reached the main area of the building. She turned and headed back behind the counter. She was certainly an unusual woman, even if she was quiet. Frost found the woman suspicious. He wondered why someone like her was hired. But wait… He was responsible for that wasn't he? The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't remember even interviewing her.
But he was quickly take from his thoughts when he noticed a man in a postal uniform waiting for him with a clipboard in his hands. "Are you in charge here sir?" The man asked
Frost blinked and looked back to see a few boxes filled with alcohol, "I don't recall ever ordering more liquor."
The man stared at him in confusion, "Well. I have the order receipt right here for ya." He showed Frost the submission form, making the man scrunch his brows in bewilderment. It was true. He must have placed the order. Said so right there.
The man smiled, "All that's missin' is your signature."
Frost shook his head but knew that he was on a timed schedule. He signed off on the delivery and ordered his workers to escort the man to the back-supply room. Frost watched as the men accompanied him.
"Frost."
He snapped his head to the side to see Sofia walking through the back door, "That was quick." He stated. He could see Spade quickly glance up to watch Sofia with wide eyes.
She watched him, "I tend to go over the speed limit when I'm pissed."
He sighed, "Yes. Well people will be lining up the door outside soon. So we have plenty of work to do before that happens."
She nodded but didn't say a word. Until the delivery man appeared from the back room with the two workers behind. He smiled and tipped his hat to the two, "Yall have a nice day now." He spoke as he exited the building.
"Who the hell was that?" Sofie asked
"Did you happen to order anything for the club recently?"
She glanced up at him, "No, why?"
He turned his attention over to Spade who was now cleaning up bottles and cups. "Just wondering."
