Tommy's POV
He walked in, slowly, tactfully Accompanied by men that were not his. Smug. Older.
"Hello Michael" I greeted
Mariana's POV
"Just tell him if he doesn't do it, he's going to have to deal with me when I get home" I advised "He'll deal with me if he doesn't stop fucking around!" He shouted at the end, I'm assuming to Carter "Miss?" A man asked
I held up my hand "I have to go Alfie, I'll call you later" I said "Do you know what day you're coming back yet?" He asked "Miss?" "No not yet" I said "Miss"
"Ah fucking hell" I snapped at the man "Alfie, I will call you back later darling" I said "Yeah, yeah alright, talk later, I love you" he said
"I... I love you too" I said, smiling to myself as I put the phone down "Miss?" I sighed "What?" I snapped at him "Mr Carter is on the phone downstairs, he says it is very urgent" he said
"Can you patch the call through?" I sighed "Yes of course" he said, dismissing himself I picked up the phone again, rubbing the tension away from my forehead
"Mar" "Lucius" I said "I... Charles is... fuck" he sighed, out of breath "Lucius? What's going on?" I asked "Charles is dead" he said bluntly Dead?
"What?" I asked, dropping down onto the edge of the bed "Charles, he was shot. That fucking whore had him shot, he... Harvey is losing his mind, he's trashing the house, I... he's dead Mar, he's fucking dead" he rushed out panicked
"Where are you?" I asked "Charles' house, we were talking and then they just came in, we... they shot me in the leg, Harvey is going mad, I can't stop him" he groaned "Oh fuck" I sighed, dropping my head against the phone "Fuck" I shouted
"Stay there, I'm on my way" I said, standing up "I've already got people here, I... it might be best you stay away, we shouldn't all be in one place" he said "Of course I'm coming, I'm not leaving you to deal with it alone I... where is Charles?" I asked painfully "...out the front" he said sadly I pictured it. I tried not to but it was there
Charles. Bleeding onto the white stones of his driveway, surrounded by roses and pillars I put the phone down, grabbing my coat Before I picked the phone back up, rapidly dialling Alfie back No answer
I tried again And again Until attempt number eight told me he definitely had left home I rang the bakery. Nothing. Not even Ollie
Fuck! I checked the time. It was early in the morning here Way too early So Alfie would be on the school run. Fuck
