It took two days but we made it to London, the driver seems hesitant as he pulls up next to ogre street. "Mr joestar are you aware of where we are?" He asked nervously, "yes I'm fully aware of where we are sir...I need to come here to undo dios wrongdoings" he states as he hops out the carriage. He turns and helps me out by holding my hand, "you are free to leave sir" he says dismissing him.

"I didn't need your help, besides if I didn't mention this place you wouldn't have known about it" I state as I pull my dagger out of my boot. "Don't do anything stupid" I say as I begin to walk into the alleyway.

Jojo flinched as he hears a loud bang, and looks on in horror as a cat drags a dead puppy away. "Did you see that?!" He whisper yelled in disbelief, before I can answer another bang is heard and I see my old friend and his members.

I falter as I look at the now mature man in front of me, Johnathan mistakes my hesitation for fear and pushed me behind him. The others don't notice my presence because of the boys large frame, " You do the honors, Tattoo!" I hear my old friend boast as the others egg on this tattoo man.

I used my lack of presence  to sneak around the alley to get behind speedwagon, the chaos between the men and Johnathan begins to get bloody. I take my knife out and slowly creep behind him hoping to take him out from behind. 

"That's enough!" He shouts causing me to stop dead in my tracks. He takes off his hat and with a flick blades appear from the brim, my eyes widen as I waste no time at all grabbing him from behind and pushing the blade onto his throat causing a thin line to appear. My actions caused the alley to become still, "that's no way to treat an old friend speedwagon" I whisper in his ear "drop the hat and I won't go any deeper".

He slowly goes to drop the hat but at the last second he flings it to Jojo wrist, it penetrated deep until it hit bone. I slammed my knife deeper into his throat as a warning, if he moved an inch he would be seriously wounded. 

Jojo in the meanwhile finished off his fight with the other two, "alright alright!" He shouts causing the two of us to pause.

He turns his attention to me and looks at me fondly, "I thought you left..." he said softly. My hand seemed to move on its own because the knife was no longer on his throat. "You left me...all those years ago" I replied as I pushed him aside to return to jojos side.

He sees Jojo still standing strong and looks at him in disbelief, " Tell me something. Strong as a bull you are, it’s plain to see. You could’ve taken me down yourself couldnt ya?" He said as he awkwardly soothed the pain on his neck.

"I came here for the sake of my father.You have a family… people who expect you to return from this dark business.It is not my place to cause them grief." He explained as he looked at me. "Aaliyah how do you know this man?" He asked, I turned to speedwagon who looked at me with regretful eyes.

"When I first got here to England he was my first friend...taught me how to survive and in return I help with whatever I could be it food, shelter, or medical supplies...and not only for him but anyone who needed me. One day words were said..." I look to the floor and clench my fist "and he left me...refused to look into my direction until one day he disappeared ".

Jojo looked up at speedwagon whos eyes focused on my form , "it's all true...I have no excuse for my behavior old friend... but one thing is for sure...I never forgot you" he said as he walked up to me. He gave me a hug, a hug that was long overdue. 

I pulled away from the hug and coughed to clear the air, "speedwagon this is Johnathan joestar...this gentleman is on a quest to find someone who deals in Asian medicine...I haven't lived here in awhile so I wouldn't know where to go" I speak clearly as Johnathan gives his hand to speedwagon for a shake. They shake and nod in a mutual agreement, "he is a gentleman alright...I'll help you two I know the man your looking for, only one man round here who sells asian drugs." He states giving me a smile.

As we wait for dio to arrive at the manor, I pull speedwagon into my room. 

"You deserve to know the truth" I say as I take off my hood. He gasps as he looks at my face, I nervously stand there waiting for a response. A few minutes felt like hours, eventually he smiled and grabbed my hand placing a gentle kiss onto my palm. "You're more beautiful then I can ever imagine" he whispered into my skin causing me to blush.

I open my mouth to respond but get interrupted by the sound of the front door opening. "We need to go!" I whispered dragging speedwagon into the dark only to find dio with a look of fear on his face and Johnathan holding a candle.
