Lucie walked outside and stared up at the clear blue sky. It was an unusually good day for London.
"My dear, is something wrong?" the arrival of her husband, Charles, made her turn.
"I was just thinking of our lost son. He died a year ago," Lucie sighed and looked out. "He was a beautiful boy. He looked just like his father."
Charles smiled and stood next to her. He wrapped an arm around her waist. "I thought he looked just like his mother."
"Mother! Father!" a little girl's voice rang from inside the house.
Lucie smiled and turned to where little Lucie was running outside with Sydney.
"What is it my dear?" Lucie asked her daughter.
"Uncle Sydney said he's taking me to the park!" little Lucie said, smiling. Lucie looked up and smiled at Sydney, who gave her a brief smile in return.
Charles turned to Sydney, "be careful, the streets are quick to turn violent."
Sydney nodded and picked little Lucie up, who hugged him. They walked away, in the direction of the park.
Lucie sighed when they left. "At least we were allowed to hold onto our other angel, our precious daughter."
Charles nodded and kissed his wife's cheek. "Our angels are watching out for us."
Lucie nodded and smiled as she kissed her husband. "We'll be safe under their careful eye."
(This is a proulouge and takes place before Sydney's death)
