The blood war chapter thirty one, The Black Rose ————————————
-1924 Cheshire, England The next couple of days was the worst thing imaginable. Tommy was pissed, Milly was depressed and Charlie called for his mummy every night. A family meeting was called in two parts, Michael with Polly in the first one and Arthur and John in the second. Khloè wasn't included as she was still "suspended"
Around arrow house was very dull and gloomy. Everyone was sat in the front room as Tommy came riding back in on his horse. "He's back..." Ada said. "Was he out there all night?" Khloè asked. "Every night since the funeral. He comes back in the morning to see Charles, feed the horses and then when it gets dark he takes off again." Ada said, Polly reading the news paper beside her. "He used to sleep out when he was a kid" Polly said, scratching her head. "Curly'd find him in the pasture... how's the baby?" She asked. "He asks for his mum at night" Paige said.
"Tommy made a list. He wants to see you two first" Ada said. "What about John and Arthur?" Polly asked. "What about me?" Khloè asked. Tommy comes walking through the door, Khloè crossing her arms. Tommy walks straight to his office, slamming the doors behind him. "We'll go in and see what's happening" Michael said, kissing Khloè's forehead. Khloè scoffs, looking at Tommy's office.
"Maybe you'll go in with Arthur and John" Paige suggested. Khloè laughs, "Ha, if I'm not going in with them then there's not a fucking hope I'm going in with Arthur and John... this is about me still being suspended isn't it?" "Still?" Paige asked. "Yeah, I have nothing to do" Khloè said. "You have kids, Khloè" Ada reminded her. Khloè glanced over at Calvin and Niamh playing with Karl and Artemis. "You think that's enough to keep me busy?" Khloè asked. Paige sighs and within five minutes, Michael and Polly were out.
"What's in the envelope?" Khloè asked, crossing her arms. "Instructions" Polly said. Arthur and John walk through the doors as everyone turns to look at them. "What? Are we late?" John asked. "No John boy, Michael, Polly and Khloè haven't even went in yet-" Arthur said. "I'm not going in, I'm not invited" Khloè sighed, leaning on the edge of the desk in the living room. "Right, Pol, Michael, let's go-" Arthur said. "We've already seen him..." Polly said. "You what?" John asked.
Arthur looks at everybody and back at Polly and Michael. "He wanted to see people in a particular order..." Ada chimed in, making sure Polly wouldn't get the blame for this. "I can normally read him by he's difficult to read" Polly stuttered. "He fucking looked it, stomping in here like a fucking t-Rex" Khloè scoffed. "Be careful" Polly said. "I thought it was a family fucking meeting?" John asked. "Yeah" Arthur agreed. "all of us together, I thought" John said. "John, he's grieving... we've seen people grieve. Paige would be a good example of that" Polly said, "no offence love." "Jesus thanks Pol" Paige said, rolling her eyes.
"Thought it would have been Khloè" Finn smirked. "Are you looking fucking hit, Finn?" Khloè asked, raising her hand. "No!" Finn shouted, covering his head as Michael held Khloè's arm. "I'm going for a walk outside" Khloè sighed, walking out of the house, her heels clicking on the wooden tiles. "Come on John..." Arthur said, tapping his back as he stood up. Michael watched as Khloè left and Polly was watching both scenarios at the same time. "Arthur, we need him back" Polly said.
