What You Don't Know

What you don't know pt15

Toby felt numb. His legs felt as if they might buckle under and his breathing quickened in fear. What he was looking at made his stomach turn, in fact he was sure he was going to be sick...

Running towards the bakehouse door Toby didn't make it before throwing up by the side of the wall. The dead body crumpled on the ground was one thing but the smell was horrendous and would make any one want to be sick. He couldn't believe it. Tears streamed down his face knowing not only that Mr Todd was a cold blooded murderer but that Mrs Lovett had known this whole time. Not only that he knew she helped him! The meat grinder was used for human meat, she was putting Mr Todd's victims into pies...

Throwing up again at the awful thought Toby wiped his mouth with the back of his sleeve before moving away from the door completely.

The meat grinder was the worst. He couldn't look at it anymore, it only made him feel worse. Mrs Lovett had been involved this whole time, she was just as bad as Mr Todd if not worse.

Grabbing hold of the gun he had stolen from Mr Todd's shop Toby examined it properly. He wasn't sure what to do with it or how to use it but he was definitely going to keep it on him. No matter what.

——————-

Giggling away as she entered the pie shop with Sweeney. Mrs Lovett pulled him hard on his coat lapels kissing him hard as soon as the door was shut which had him smiling against her heated kiss. Running his arms around her he deeper the kiss just wanting to get lost tonight with Mrs Lovett under her sheets...

Despite everything Mrs Lovett was feeling earlier tonight they actually had a really great time. She was surprised that Sweeney seemed to relax throughout the evening but then she gathered the champagne helped. They danced and danced in fact Mrs Lovett couldn't stop smiling all evening. It had been such a fun night and for that Mrs Lovett couldn't thank him enough for making it so enjoyable.

Being so lost in the kiss she squealed as her back hit her counter. She groaned as his lips fell to her neck and squeezed her eyes closed as his hands wondered her body. "Let me check on Toby, make sure he's asleep..." she whispered by his ear. Breaking away he looked at her and smirked before cupping her jaw and kissing her again. She giggled against his lips before pressing her hands to his chest moving away...

"Won't be long" she smirked at him over her shoulder as she left the room towards Toby's bedroom. Slowly and carefully she opened up his door to check on him. As her eyes scanned across his bed she noticed it to be empty. Odd.

Frowning to herself she closed the door and pouted wondering where he might be. She then checked her room but found nothing. Checked the bathroom, nothing. Looked all around her small living room, nothing. Her nerves were getting the better of her now and she realised the one place she hadn't checked.

Surely not.

Hesitating for a moment Mrs Lovett heard Sweeney calling for her. "I'll be there in a minute dear" she called back before lifting her skirts and rushing down to the bakehouse. With both hands she opened the heavy iron door and stepped in only to see Toby looking around her oven. Immediately her heart began to hammer in fear of what he might have discovered.

She hadn't even cleared the body up from this morning.

"What are you doing down here!" She snapped staying close to the door as he turned around and stared at her in away that broke her heart. He looked mortified.

"You're a murder! You an e'm are one an the same!" He yelled tears rolling down his cheeks in anger. "I'm going to the law! Ya both ave to be stopped!"

Her eyes widened at this and before he could run over to her she hurried out and slammed the bakehouse door closed behind her. She locked it from the outside and turned quickly her tears brimming in her eyes as she could hear him yelling and banging on the iron door.
