(Leona's P.O.V.)
Mark leaned forward and placed a loose strand behind my ear. I gave him a death glare in return. I had nothing else beside my eyes that I could harm him with. After all, my hands and legs where tied to the chair, which I roughly had been placed onto. "Don't fret, my love. It will all be over soon and then we can go back to before everything" he softly spoke and began to stroke my cheek with his thumb. Something a lover would do. But he was not a lover and never was. Immediatly, I pulled on the restraint trying to punch the man but failing miserably "I will never go with you" I sneered harshly. I immediatly felt my vocal cords break and then the taste of blood began to linger on my tongue. Mark chuckled and his shoulders moved up and down due to it. "Oh, but you will. But first we need to get rid of Alfie and Thomas". I clocked my head to the side in confusion. What did he mean with 'we'? Then my question was confirmed when someone else stepped into the room. "Well, well, well. Isn't this a sight for sore eyes". I turned my head to face the newest arrival in the room that Mark was keeping me in. I felt myself tense in more anger as I looked at the person. "It's good to see you again, Agent Solomons". Agent Solomons, the name I have not heard in forever. And had desperatly tried not to ever here again. But, right infront of me, stood James Daniels. The man who both me and Mark worked under and report too as Agents of the Crown. "I'm... not an... Agent of... the... Crown.. anymore" I said through the sharp pain of my vocal cords. James smirked "they will think otherwise" he said mentioning Tommy and Alfie. Then showed something at me. My eyes quickly scanned the document wanting to know what information it held. I gulped when I realized that it was my employee-file from my time as an Agent. I should've burned it when I had the chance. I casted my eyes back up to meet James's eyes. "We will destroy the trust you built with them. And when that has happened I can full fill my duty and Mark here can do whatever he pleases with you". James Daniels stood back upright and casted a quick glance at me before turning on his heel and walking off. Mark following close behind. Once they where gone. I began to try and get out of my restraints. Pulling om them, trying to rub the rope against the wood. But nothing was succesfull. Then from the corner of my eye I saw a something on the table that stood in the corner. I breathed out realising it was a knife. My mind quickly questioning why the two of them left out a knife in plain sight like that. But I pushed that aside and tried to make my way over towards it. I have to get out of here.

(Tommy's P.O.V.)
I was in the Garrison. My fingers aimlessly moving my engament ring around my finger as I stared ahead of me. I couldn't think of a way to find Leona. Everything that I did come up with had failed. I sighed and grabbed the bottle of whiskey and poured another glass. Then suddenly a knock came from the door that lead to the small private room in the corner. I lifted my head up to look at the door then called to the person that they could enter. It was Grace who walked inside. I noticed she held an envelop in her hand. "Theres an envelope that had been sent here for you, Mr Shelby" she said extending her hand out at me. I had no desire to read anything at this time. But decided to take the envelope from her none the less. I placed the envelope down on the table in front of me. "Are you not going to read it, Mr Shelby?" Grace asked as she kept lingering around me. I didn't turn to face her, not wanting to pay attention to her. "Mr Shelby, I was told-" she began but I cutt her off "I do not have time to read it, Grace. I hace other business to attend to".  "But-", "enough!" I snapped at her. I grabbed the envelope and shuffing it into my pocket before standing up. I walked around her and then left the pub. I walked down Garrison court and down watery lane. Passing the bettingshop and even the football field. I had no specific destination where I was going. I just needed to clear my mind. But it didn't help, my mind still tried to find a way. Then something caught my eye. Something that certainly was a sight for sore eyes. It was a Rolls-Royce 40/50 Phantom and being specific. It was Leona's Rolls-Royce. I froze to my spot as I watched the car door open up. It hadn't even stopped completely. But I didn't care. The only thing I cared for, was the fact that Leo was getting out and running towards me.

As soon as she had ran into my arms, I didn't dare let go. Never, never do I want to loose her again. "You're alright, my Darling" I said and cupped her cheeks before placing a kiss against her forehead.
