The first customer
~Cathy~
Early the next morning before I even opened the shop there was already a customer a young blonde girl so I opened the doors and allowed her into the shop.
"Thank you ma'am I had to find somewhere to hide." The young girl stuttered she must have been running from someone but who would want to hurt this young girl than judge Turpin came into the shop.
"JOHANNA LET'S GO!" judge Turpin yelled.
"No!" Johanna yelled.
"JOHANNA LUCY BARKER LET'S GO NOW!" Turpin yelled causing Sweeney to rush into the shop.
"Turpin she said no so leave the innocent girl ALONE!" Sweeney snapped and I called the police because Johanna said that he had killed her mother and the police had taken Turpin away sentencing him to death. When Sweeney had calm down Johanna suddenly hugged Sweeney.
"Dad?" Johanna asked and a teardrop rolled down Sweeney's cheek.
"Wait....Benjamin Barker?" I asked and Sweeney nods his head Sweeney has finally got his daughter back but his wife Lucy will forever be gone. After Sweeney and Johanna pulled apart she suddenly gave me a hug and smiled it brought back the memories of when I had my precious daughter Lillian but she was ripped away from me because I was too young to be a mother. Once Johanna pulled back her and I made some tarts while Sweeney changed the sign outside because we are no longer selling meat pies instead we are selling sweets and maybe here and there a couple of meat pies but not from innocent people the meat will be coming from evil men that would use women and from people in jail like judge Turpin.

After a long day Johanna helped Cathy close up the shop and the girls headed off for bed while I cleaned up my barber shop of the blood because I would no longer be killing my clients but I would still be using the razors they will never have the blood of the innocent on them ever again unless someone as evil as Turpin takes Cathy and Johanna from me than they will be dripping rubies again and of the innocent.
"Father?" I hear Johanna ask while she came into the shop.
"Johanna you should be asleep what are you doing awake." I asked while finishing with the razor that had the most blood on it.
"I can't sleep father." Johanna sighed and slumped down on the barber chair making uneasy a bit because it still was stained of blood so I would have to get a new barber chair that was free of blood stains. I took Johanna into the shop and made her some tea to hope it would help her sleep so I could get some sleep myself.
"Goodnight father I love you." Johanna yawned while I tucked her into her bed.
"Goodnight my little lamb I love you too." I kissed Johanna on the forehead and went to my room and went to sleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
~Cathy~
Today the shop was closed for the day so we could re style the shop and to get Sweeney a new barber's chair that wasn't covered in blood stains from the blood of his clients that would be used for my sisters meat pies.
"Ma'am um can I get some fresh clothing please ma'am?" Johanna asked.
"Of course my dear after getting a new barber chair for your father we can get you some fresh clothing." I smiled and Johanna hugged me.
"Thank you Cathy." Johanna said as she pulled back. Johanna ran up ahead of Sweeney and I so we could talk.
"Cathy I see that Johanna likes you I can already see a little family starting to grow only if you want one with the three of us?" Sweeney wrapped his one arm around my back pulling me closer to him lately I've save in Sweeney's embrace which would be strange to people because Sweeney would be the one who would kill the men for my sisters pies.
"Maybe Sweeney but would you go back to being Benjamin Barker?" I asked while looking into Sweeney's eyes.
"You know that I can't Cathy I was going by Benjamin when I escaped the jail if someone was to know that I was back to going by Benjamin again than the man that took me away would take me away from you again so no I can't Cathy I'm sorry." Sweeney sighed and I understood him.
