Sweeney closed the door from his barber shop and went downstairs to find Mrs. Lovett. Three minutes ago she told him that Toby had started to understand that there was something wrong about Sweeney Todd , so she locked him in the basement so he could take care of it. She really liked Toby, as if he was her own child... but she loved Mr. Todd even more.
They walked downstairs and Mrs. Lovett unlocked the big, iron door. When she opened it a huge wave of warmness took over the air while they walked inside to find... noone.
Mrs. L- Where's Toby?
Sweeney walked towards the Beedle's body and pushed it with his foot to also find nothing. To only find blood, where Laura was supposed to be after her fall.
Mr. T- My girl is alive... I pushed Laura in here, my girl survived... he whispered.
Meanwhile in the sewers, after Toby and Laura had been running for 5 minutes in a row, they found themselves together right under the ground where Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett were  standing on. That also meant that they both heard everything they said about Laura.
Laura- His girl?
Her and Toby looked at each other, both wondering what Sweeney meant by saying "his girl"
Laura: It can't be- AH!
Toby shut her mouth after she screamed because of a mouse standing on her shoulder and immediately ran away leaving her there, alone.
Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett looked at the ground beneath them and then they looked at the sewer's passageway. They walked towards it, opened it, and jumped inside.
Luckily Toby had left early enough for him for run away from them. Laura though started limping towards the dark side of the sewers so they wouldn't be able to see her. Now all four of them were in the sewers, kind of like hide and seek. Laura and Toby as hiders and Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd as the seekers. She kept hiding for 5 minutes when she heard footsteps approaching, getting closer... and closer... While she was trying to get up and also crawl back at the same time, the footsteps were yet getting closer. But she stopped when she realized that there was only one person walking towards her..
Laura- T- Toby..?
Out of the darkness, a tall, black figure appeared, revealing the face of sweeney todd. He looked at her and took out his hand to help her get up.
Mr. T- Are you ok?
Laura- What do YOU think?! You almost killed me! And what do you mean by saying "my girl"?
Before he would talk, he put his razor back inside of his pocket and mumbled:
Mr. T- Get up and come with me...
Laura- What?
Mr. T- Get UP... and come WITH me. He held her hand and helped her get up. When she got up she and Sweeney started limping towards the opening of the sewers, helped her climb up and led her to the barber shop.
