《Lombardi - Finn Shelby》Finding Charlie
Advertisement
I walked with Finn smoking whilst walking inside the Grace Shelby institution, it was a place for orphaned children.
I sat with Finn as Polly did her speech. She introduced Tommy and we all stood up to clap for him. Charlie started crying by the noise but Ada went over and took him off him.
"I'm, I didn't come here to make a speech, but I will say this." Tommy said as we all sat down. "These children are now safe. In our care, they will be safe, because we are from the same cold streets as they are. And in our care, they won't be shipped away to the colonies."
Tommy's speech was great, if I had listened to the rest of it. I just couldn't focus.
Everyone stood up and clapped for Tommy, I knew Grace would be proud of him.
We sang after that, Well more just like me acting like I was, I could break a glass with how bad my voice was.
I was soon stood at the food table with Finn, obviously. I watched as Charlie cry and one of the maids, nurses, I don't know what you call them took Charlie.
It seemed sketchy as she left the back door so I followed her.
"Excuse me!" I shouted running after her but I was tripped and I fell onto the gravel. Damn that hurt. I looked up to see who it was but they weren't there, they had to have been behind me.
I went to turn but a wooden pole crashed into my head. I fell down cradling my pounding head. My eyes were fuzzy but I tried to get up.
The pole all of a sudden came plummeting into my back. Is my back sexy, that's why they always target my back. They're probably jealous, that I have a pretty back and they don't.
I didn't feel anyone behind me so when I turned no one was there. I could barely see, it was all so blurry.
I gripped my thumping head and my eyes began to steady. I walked slowly to a Finn who was looking around anxiously.

"Finn I saw the woman take him." I said hugging him. I was in too much pain. I cried out clutching my head.
"Rose what happened? You're head is bleeding."
"I followed the woman but got attacked on the way out."
"Why don't we go get you cleaned up, and we start looking." Finn suggested but I shakily shook my head.
"We need to find Charlie first Finn. They have Charlie."
—
We had been looking for Charlie for ages until it was dark and raining. My head was a little better but I still had the fading headache.
Me and Finn ran into the betting shop and I immediately sat down.
"Tommy. I'm sorry we're late, we looked everywhere. All the way up it Hay Mills." Finn rushed out.
"Still nothing." I added laying my head on the table.
"Put four cans of petrol in the boot of my car and bring it round." Tommy instructed us.
"Rose stay here you're still hurt." Finn said kissing my head before he ran out.
I swung my legs and passed out in an extremely uncomfortable position.
God I'm so tired.
—
I went with Michael to get Charlie sook after, there was two other men with us but Michael told them to wait.
I waited behind the door getting ready to hear a bang but I could hear struggling.
I walked in and saw the pervy priest choking Michael so I went over with a book I found and whacked the priest with it.
Sorry Jesus. But this guy stole Charlie.
Then Michael sprung up when the priest wobbled away. He got out his knife and started slashing him with it. I could only watch in horror, shaking in terror.
One of the men went to call Finn and I stood there still watching the priest. I'm traumatised, I dropped the heavy book making it fall banging onto the floor.
"Holy shit." I said wide eyed. Michael was drenched with blood. He crouched down against the wall and I went over to pick Charlie up. He threw something as I picked him up.

"Michael come on you need to get cleaned." I told Michael making sure Charlie couldn't see him, so I tucked his head into my neck.
"Come on lets go."
—
We burst through the doors with Charlie in Michaels arms. Ada and Polly ran over and took him from Michael.
I watched Charlie cry and sighed closing my eyes. I looked at Michael who had a traumatised face, his eyes as I noticed where incredibly dilated. Polly noticed his stare but as she went to hug him he left.
She looked at me crying and I stared too. I took a few shaky breaths and looked back at Charlie.
"He's safe."
This was more brutal than watching someone being shot.
—
Everyone sat in Tommy's office waiting or everyone to come in, I sat beside Finn holding his hand tightly. I still wasn't over it. It was always in my head.
"Before, I begin, I want to let you know I made a mistake." Tommy paused. "I made a mistake and I want apologise to all of you." Tommy stood up.
"Arthur, you warmer be against getting involved with Russian business and were right." Arthur nodded. "I doubted your wife, for that I'm sorry. Linda, I added £3,000 here in hope that you'll forgive me." Tommy said chucking them their money.
"Apology accepted." Linda said taking the money.
"Esme I doubted you as well."
"Now Johns got innocent lives on his conscience." Esme spoke out. Thomas chucked the money in front of them and John collected it.
Tommy gave Lizzy her money but she threw it half at him.
He threw me and Finn's together and Finn caught it. I could care less about money at the moment.
Tommy gave Michael his but Polly wouldn't let him take it and kept passing it back. Tommy then proceeded to shout at Polly but she didn't seem fazed.
"Those bastards, those bastards, are worse than us." Tommy repeated. "Politicians, fucking judges, lords and ladies. They are worse than us and they will never admit is to their palaces!" Tommy shouted pointing in different directions.
"When you take the kings shilling, they king expects you to kill." Tommy said looking at Arthur.
All the women started saying 'as will I' and I thought I should join in but I kept my mouth shut. For once, I was surprised myself.
Everyone stood up and I watched Arthur talk to Tommy.
"I'll be off then, Tom. I'll se you aye? I'll see you brother." Arthur said walking away.
"You can go but you won't get far Arthur." Tommy said and I looked at him in confusion. But Arthur brushed it off.
"Uh, Alright Tom." Arthur said turning back.
"I spoke to Moss last night. He told me that the chief constable of Birmingham has issued a warrant for your arrest, murder, sedation, conspiracy to cause explosion."
"John they are coming for you Azeroth, murder, conspiracy to cause explosion." Tommy said looking down.
"Michael, Rose... for the murder of Hughes." I looked up in surprise at Tommy. Why was I being arrested I only hit him with a book. I looked at finn who was staring at me back and pulled me closer.
"Polly, the murder of inspector Chester Campbell." everyone looked around in shock.
Arthur was screaming angrily and everyone was throwing questions around.
"The people that we betrayed last night, they want to bring us down. They control the police." Thomas said and there was a knock on the front door.
Finn put his hand on my back as Tommy spoke. The boys were livid.
"So I've made a deal in return for giving evidence." Tommy said as Arthur shouted.
I kissed Finn quickly and we all walked out. I was pushed up again the wall with a wooden bat against my neck.
They turned me around and twisted my arm around. I turned to see Finn resisting but I turned away as they dragged me into a vehicle.
I looked at the others in the van and turned my head to the floor.
They'll bloody hang us.

Same Crap, Different World
A young man from early 21st century wakes up in a different world. This world is like a typical setting of an fantasy isekai novel. But it is also not. There is magic, alchemy, magical creatures, different non-human races, peasants and nobles, demons and dragons. But there is also politics, persecution, supremacism of every kind, entitlement, slavery and other unpleasant human tendencies. In short, this new world does not differ much from his old one. However, besides him, there may be others who have made such a strange trip, and awakened into this new world. There certainly have been others, in the past. But more than people and other living things, there have been items. All sorts of items, which are regarded as otherworldly artifacts with unknown danger and power. And he himself is an artifact as well, albeit a living one. Therefore he has use for the powers that be. He is also given a role and expectations to fulfill, to hide his real value. And in all that he still has to make sense of what has happened, what is happening, and find a way back, if possible. Author's note: I write this project mostly in (except chapter 1) in 60-100 page (40,000-70,000 word) chapters, edit them as such and later cut them down for publishing into 7-11 page segments (depending on natural breaks in the flow). Therefore, each chapter may be divided into 10-15 subchapters.
