Tommy thanked the maid which offered to take Charlie. "Thank you for your time" he smiled, walking away.
He looked around, frowning.
"Where's Charles, Ada?" he asked. "I gave him to you" she said. "Where is he?" he frowned. "I don't know"
"Might have ran off with Rory somewhere" Ada mentioned, noticing the absence of the young girl.
"Boys" Tommy caught the attention of his brothers. "Have you seen Charlie, or Rory?" he asked. "I dunno he's playing ain't he?" Arthur asked.
Tommy walked to Polly, only to be stopped by his sister.
"Have you seen Aurora?" she asked. He shook his head. "Pol wheres the kids?" he asked. She didn't know either so Tommy moved to Lizzie, Lottie at his side.
"Rory, Charles, have you seen them"
She shrugged. "I don't know"
"Tommy, where are they" Lottie asked, panicking slightly. "Back door, kitchen. Get to Blake street where the cars are" he pointed at his brothers and Micheal.
"Tommy, Lottie, someone said they saw a nurse take them through the back door" Ada shouted.
Lottie's heart dropped, looking for Isaiah.
"Fuck" Tommy hissed. Lottie struggled finding Isaiah so followed her brother's outside. Tommy rattled door handles in attempt to find the kids.
"Rory!" She shouted, looking no through the halls.
"Arthur" Ada stopped him. "Someone said they saw a woman and two kids getting into a car"
"Ah fuck" he shouted, rushing outside.
Lottie stood outside. "Charlie!" Thomas shouted. Lottie ran to the cars, bumping into John. "Hey" he stopped her. "Where's my daughter" she shouted, her eyes filling with tears.
"Stop" he said, "We've blocked off all the junctions, we've called moss" he assured her.
"Where's Siah?" she asked.
"He's gone off looking with Arthur."
"Lottie someone took her, they put her in a car and drove south, Arthur has put every man we have on the junctions. You need to go to the office and sit by the phone, whoever took them is going to call"
He wrapped his arms around his crying sister who's knees had grew weak.
"We'll find them i promise"
He put Lottie in the car with Polly and Tommy.

"I need Micheal at the Maypole junction" Tommy said as they walked through the house. "Moss to block all the roads south"
Polly pulled a chair for Lottie and she collapsed into it, holding her head.
Tommy held the phone, calling Moss before throwing it at the wall. "Tommy" Polly said.
"It's them"
"Who, Tommy. Who fucking took my kid" Lottie shouted. "Look it might just be some random woman" Polly sighed.
"No, it's them"
"Fucking who" Lottie shouted, tears rolling down her face. "Did you break the phone" Polly whispered, rushing to it.
"Tommy answer me for fucks sake" Lottie's voice broke. "Father Hughes" he said. "You've broke the phone, it's all right we've got another"
"Tommy?" Ada shouted, walking in. "Ada?"
"There's someone outside, a priest"
Lottie stood to her feet, rushing to the door. "Lottie no stay here" he shouted after her.
She stepped outside, looking at the man. "You bastard" she hissed, rain soaking her clothes. Before she could do anything, Tommy grabbed her, pushing her inside. "Go" he whispered, closing the door.
"Come on, Lottie" Ada whispered, hugging her sister. "No" she whispers. "They've took her, where's Isaiah" she asked.
"He's out looking, we will find Rory, we will find Charles" Ada assured. "Sit down"
Lottie lay on the couch, staring at the fire. "He fucking took my daughter"
"Esme's waters broke, i was just with her running around fucking broke her waters" John stepped in. "Where's finn?" Tom asked.
"Out with the youngers looking for the Riley" Arthur swigged his whiskey. "We can't reach him"
"I need to know who spoke" Tommy breathed. "The enemies know everything. Everything"
"I need to know who spoke about the business outside the family"
Lottie blocked out the rest of their conversations, her mind racing, filling with negative thoughts as Tommy accused their family of talking about their business.
"Lottie" Isaiah stood in front of her, holding her shoulders. She snapped back to reality looking up at him. He kneeled down, pulling her too him. "Where is she?" she whispered. "We are still looking, Micheals on it, i promise"
"They're going to blow up a train, Lottie. Michaels gone after the priest" he nodded, pulling away. "They'll get her back"
Lottie nodded, her eyes glossy, leaning her head on his chest.
Lottie didn't sleep, she watched as the sun rose, filling the room with light. Isaiahs head lay on her lap, sound asleep.
This was Tommys fault. Yes they took his kid too but Tommy had not held up his side of some stupid fucking deal, and that resulted in Aurora going missing.

"This morning i was out with Tommy on the road" Micheal spoke. "I killed a man"
Arthur looked at him.
"He needed cover i was all he had."
"What did he give you" Arthur asks. Micheal pulled the gun. "Said it was good for close range"
"Your better with my gun" Arthur told him. "No, no this is mine now" Micheal nodded. "Feels part of me hand"
"Where'd you hit him?" John asked. "I hit him in the side of the head"
"How was you when he went down"
"Tommy said i did alright,"
John stepped closer. "This is where we think Charles and Aurora are being held" he passed him a piece of paper.
Micheal unfolded it.
"They're not expecting nobody, so you should be alone" Arthur nodded. "There's two good men there. You do what they say"
"But i fire the bullet, all right?" Micheal told him.
"When you're sure the kids are safe, you call Finn."
-
Father Hughes opened the locked door, looking at the children. "Hello there" he whispered. "Here you go, how's that?"
He placed food down in front of them.
"You like a spoon? A shiny spoon?"
Aurora stared at him, unsure of what was going on. "I want me mum" was all she said. He looked at her and stood for a moment before leaving.
Micheal sat in the car, gun in hand. "You wait here" he told one of the men. "I'll do the killing, that's a fucking order"
He carefully walked into the room, gun lowered. If he wasn't careful, it could cost the life of two kids.
He breathed heavily, hearing noises coming from what sounded like Charles.
Father hughes stepped out the room and Micheal pointed the gun, cocking it. "What do you think your doing, boy?" he asked. Micheal pushed the barrel to Hughes eye.
"Please don't. Please don't shoot"
Father hughes suddenly hit Micheal's wrist causing a Michael to pull a knife, pushing it into his face. A scream erupted from Hughes mouth
Two men from earlier in. "I'll take him" he said, pointing the gun. "No" Micheal stopped him. "This bastards mine"
"Go call Finn"
He pushed the knife into his neck, watching the blood pour out. Hughes face turned pale and his breathing stopped.
Micheal sat against the wall, watching as Aurora peaked her head round the corner, smiling at him innocently.
-
Micheal walked into the office, Aurora and Charlie in his arms.
"Oh my gods" All three of the woman jumped up. Ada took charles from him and Lottie took Rory.
She held her daughter close, rocking her slightly. Isaiah wrapped his arms around the two. "Thank you Micheal" she whispered as he walked out.
