The deleted scene between Errol and Bricktop on disc 2 is my fav scene and it didn't even make it into the movie lol (I suppose deleted scenes are cannon?) soo I integrated it into my fic. Soo ya I don't take credit for those little snippets. Thanks for all the love this story has gotten so far!

-------

She knew Phil would be on the phone to Errol or her dad as soon as they were out of earshot.

"I might need to use you again." she said once they had sat down in the far booth.

"I'm yours, love." he said, before downing half his pint. She had to control the urge to giggle. She knew it was just a figure of speech, but the speed at which he had consented to her using him made her head spin a bit. Now that they sat opposite each other she noticed how unconventionally handsome his features were. She didn't have much time to consider them though as the back door to the barroom opened up and a very upset looking Errol came out. She saw him scan the room until his eyes lit on her. He heaved a deep breath and made a B line for them.

Tony read the look on her face and turned right in time to see Errol sideling up beside them. Tony only smirked and looked back into his beer.

"Ah good, I could use another pint." Tony grinned at her. "How is the service in this place?"

"Danessa, The guv'nor wants to see you." Errol said. but his eyes didn't leave Tony.

"I thought he might." she sighed not knowing if it was a good idea to leave Errol and Tony alone.

Tony downed the rest of his drink and stood up. When he did he was just as tall as Errol. "Goody," Tony said more to Errol than her. "I haven't seen Mr. Palford in a long time." She could tell he had to fight the urge to call him Brick Top instead.

"Tony…you don't have to…" She started to say.. 'get yourself killed to impress me.' but he cut her off before she finished her sentence.

"Nah, Danessa, luv. It will be nice to catch up. Lead the way, Errol, unless you got tables to bus?" Tony said, a half smile on his lips.

Errol only turned and went back the way he had came in, Tony right behind him. Danessa followed and hoped to God this wasn't going to end as bad as she expected it to. Her fears weren't settled when they entered the next room and about 4 more guys were waiting in there for them.

Halfway in, Errol turned on Tony. "You know that was my cousin, Laurie, you stabbed?" he asked.

Danessa made to say something to stop this. Where did Errol get off interrogating her guest, but Tony rose a hand to silence her.

"Yeah, I know I stabbed a man called Laurie." Tony said after he sized up the fact he was surrounded and outnumbered. "…but no I didn't know he was related to a brainless tub of shit."

"Shut that door, Sean." Errol ordered a man behind them.

"No, Lock the fucking door, Sean." Tony called over his shoulder. He strode the few paces up to Errol and pointed his finger at him. "You're a big man Errol, but I don't care if you're ten foot fucking tall. You got eight pints of blood, bleed like any bastard. And when I drop you…and I will drop you, I'll open you up like a packet of crisps." his hand went menacingly up Errol's front. "You're a bully, Errol, but remember I can be a bigger bully." Danessa's jaw dropped. Errol looked murderous. There were a few tense moments when no one said anything. They were finally sparred the horrible silence by the door behind Errol sliding open and Sebastian sticking his head thru.

"I don't want to interrupt you, Errol, but the guv'nor wants to see them."

As Errol moved out of the way for Tony and her to pass through, Danessa realized just how well-trained Errol was. He wanted Tony dead, that was more than apparent by the look on his face, but he still obeyed her father, unquestioningly. As they moved into the next room the other four guys went their own way. As they entered her father's office, it was just Errol, Danessa, and Tony. She wondered briefly where John had gotten to and hoped she hadn't gotten him into too much trouble by taking off earlier with Tony. Her dad sat on the couch dressed in his nice black slacks and a red shirt unbuttoned half way down the front as per usual. She tried to read his face, but couldn't tell exactly how mad he was.

"I got to say you got some front coming round here, Tone." he started. Danessa wondered if it was a good sign her dad seemed to have a nickname for him.

"No disrespect." Tony pointed over at Danessa. "I'm this one's guest." Brick top's eyes went from Tony to her. "Now, Errol here's going to fix me a drink, and I'm going to let you two discuss what you got to discuss." Errol stiffened. Danessa bit her bottom lip.

"Never mind the small talk, eh Tone?" Brick top grinned.

"Of course." Tony turned and left the office.

Errol stood there waiting to hear Brick Top lay into Danessa, but was shoved on his way by Brick Top telling him to "mix Tony his drink."

After they were outside the room remained quiet for a moment, before her dad started to speak.

"Now, I don't expect you knew Tony and the lads don't get along." he said.

"I've gotten that impression." she looked out the office inner window to see Tony and Errol squared off on each other, obviously exchanging harsh words.

"eh, Tony's a good guy, if a bit cocky." Brick Top shrugged. "I called you in here to see how the fight's coming. I heard about your little verdict to use Turkish's ref."

"Ah…" Danessa breathed a sign of relief and went to sit down beside her dad on his couch. If this was all this was about she was good to go. "Turkish is known for his fights being fair."

"Ya," Brick Top agreed. "That's all well and good, if we wanted a fair fight."

Danessa's mind raced for a few minutes and then it dawned on her…of course they didn't. "Sorry, Dad…Ill talk to Turkish…tell him I messed up."

"Too late for that now, luv." her dad shook his head. "However, there are other ways to skin a rabbit. If I know Turkish, he'll find a way to fuck himself up before it's all over with."

They were interrupted by Errol yelling from the next room. "You're a fucking dead man, Tony! You hear me…a fucking dead man!"

"What's going on out there?" Brick Top yelled. Errol burst in the room.

"He's pissed in my fucking pocket!" Errol yelled and began checking the damage on his pants. Danessa had to stifle a laugh behind her hand…god, this man had some balls.

"Oh, shut up Errol…get back in your fucking pram." Brick Top was getting annoyed with this literal pissing contest. "Tony, ain't you house trained?" Through the window Tony shrugged one shoulder. Errol left to go clean up.

"I think I'll show Tony out." Danessa ventured.

"Might be a good idea." Brick Top nodded.

"Uh, Dad…" Danessa stopped at the door. "Where's John?"

"Don't worry about him, luv. He'll be back later. I've got him on an errand…nothing major." Brick Top threw in to put her mind at ease.

Danessa smiled and left the office and waved Tony to follow her. They walked through the bar and back outside to Tony's car. Danessa liked the way it felt having him close by. She felt loads more 'protected' than when her dad's goons were trailing her around.

"So, did your dad tell yah your not allowed to come out and play wif' old Tony anymore?" he asked once they were at his car. He had her back to the car and was inching closer.

"Not exactly." she grinned up at him, liking his close proximity.

"Good." he said quietly as his eyes looked down at her lips.

"I can't believe you pissed on Errol." she gushed, she couldn't hold the 'cool act' any longer.

"I don't put up with any of his shit." Tony shrugged.

"You're amazing." she said before she realized what she'd said. Tony grinned slightly and leaned in, hands in his pockets, he kissed her full on the lips. She could taste the beer from before and the slightly metallic ness of his golden plated bullet teeth on his soft mouth.

From the door of the bar, Errol stood watching----furious.
