A Time To Kill By || Alfie Solomons

Sarah woke up to a nightmare, she was crying at a funeral. She had no idea who it was but she can feel it happening, soon.

"You know after staying with your lil one, I quite like babies, might wanna get one of those." Archie entered the room with tons of papers and pointed at Xavier sleeping next to Sarah.

Sarah smiled and nodded. She was here for a long time, more then two weeks. In all honesty, she had no idea where and what she is suppose to do. Throwing her hair in a side braid, she sat opposite to Archie.

"I need to find help Archie, I can't stay here forever?" Sarah mumbled, hoping not to wake Xavier up.

Archie sighed and offered a cup of tea to her. "I understand, that's why I want you to be my plus one today at the fundraiser."

Sarah almost spilled the tea over herself. "What!? Archie I can't go and see elites of the town? It's too dangerous."

Archie dipped a piece of bread in the tea and looked out of the window. He was in some deep thinking mode, which Sarah didn't liked. Archie wasn't dumb, nor was he ill-informed of the matters of London.

But he was too quiet for his own good, which Sarah disliked. How and why is he always thinking inside and not sharing his plans?

"You see when you were a practicing doctor here, did you ever mentioned it anywhere that you are a shelby?"

Sarah went into a thinking spree, he was right. She never mentioned it to anyone that she was married to Tommy, only Alfie ever came to know about it.

" N-no? "

" Exactly, you see you need to meet people to get your papers legally done so you can leave London for France Sarah. In that matter, you have to be visible to public eye."

Sarah tapped her hand on the table, rattling the sitting papers.

"What do you want me to say? Who am I? Sarah Shelby? Sarah Solomon? Sarah Adams?"

Adams was her real surname. She doesn't even know who the hell Adam is.

Archie stood up and walked over to Xavier,who now was turning quite alot in his sleep. He was about to wake up.

"Say you are my wife Doctor Sarah. Introduce yourself as mine."

"SISTER? YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE MY SISTER?" Archie gasped looking at a well dressed Sarah. After Archie's offer, Sarah decided to be his sister then wife. She was already too committed to be another man's women.

"Oh it'll be fine. I'm sure we look something alike, right Alex?" Sarah looked at Alex who was holding a very giggly Xavier, enticed by her dress and sparkles.

Alex shook his head and asked "When will you be back? What if Xavier cries too much?"

Sarah nodded and kissed the top of little baby's head. "Soon enough, just don't open the door on anyone especially if someone asks for me."

Archie and Sarah made their way to the diner. She could feel the night's darkness settling in her stomach. She was physically not ready for the meet up.

Reaching the venue, Sarah noticed the night being extra cold. Taking Archie's arm she walked inside to a buzzing hall.

"I'll talk to some officials here for your paperwork. Make yourself at home, sister." Archie smiled sneakily and left her all alone.

What a nice brother. Sarah thought to herself and made herself to the bar. Slowly drinking some water, Sarah was approached by a young man. Way too many eyes were on him that night.
