Please read and review :)

"Let me get this straight…." Began Detective Chief Superintendent Read, "…Cornell, after injuring Mister Kray, slipped from the roof and fell on his own knife?!"

Teddy nodded, clutching his ribs as the adrenaline began to wear off. "Yeah. The Richardson's grabbed me off the streets as a distraction and Cornell attacked the club in order to try and kill Ronnie!"

Read clearly didn't believe him as he glanced around the club, taking in the burnt flooring and the smashed glass on the floor. "So….unprovoked, Cornell decided to attack."

"Yep."

The cop smirked, "Forgive me if I don't believe you. To me, this looks like a gang war that got out of 'and , with the winnin' side tryna blame the losin' side and get them arrested!"

Teddy shook his head, "Ask anyone! We were only tryna defend ourselves, and now Ronnie's fightin' for his life in the 'ospital and the club is ruined!"

"Mister Cornell is also in 'ospital you know…"

"Shouldn't 'ave been so bloody careless then!"

Read stared at the boy for a few moments before shaking his head, "I fink we're gonna to 'ave to 'ave another conversation down town. Come on, get up!"

"B-but, the medics ain't seen me yet! My ribs and nose are killin' me 'ere!"

"You'll live, now get up!"

The cop grabbed a hold of Teddy's arm and yanked him off of the seat, ignoring the hiss of pain and the cold look in the boy's eyes. However, before he could pull him out of the club and into a police car outside, he was stopped by a smart man in a suit.

"Excuse me officer?"

Read sighed and plastered a fake smile on his face, "Yes Sir? Would you like to report a complaint about what's 'appened 'ere?"

The man shook his head, "Well yes and no. In fact, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation with this young man and I wish to verify his statement."

This clearly caught Read by surprise as he fought the urge to take a step back, "Seriously?"

The man nodded, "Yes, you see I come here quite often and today, everything was a little tense. Mr Teddy here is usually with Mr Ronald Kray and when he wasn't, I knew something was wrong. I ended up talking with the bouncer and he informed me that Mr Teddy had been taken by a gang of all things and that they had everyone available looking for him!"

Read tried not to roll his eyes, "Did the bouncer tell you why they didn't phone the police?"

The man raised an eyebrow at him and gestured to Teddy, "Well after the way I've seen you treat this young man, I can only imagine it was because of your distrust for the club owners?"

Read chose not to reply as the man continued with his statement, "Anyway, after a few hours the door crashed open and a horrible man aimed his gun at us and-"

"Hold on..." interrupted Read, "…There weren't any other customers in the club, what made you stay?"

The man glanced away for a second, as if embarrassed, "Well….I ashamed to say that I was having a lovely conversation with a young man at the bar and I didn't realize that everyone was leaving."

"Alright…then what 'appened?"

"Well, we all hid behind tables and the bar, because they were just shooting at us! We had to defend ourselves, so we tried throwing bottles at them!

"And I assume this is how the club caught on fire?"

The man nodded, "Yes, one of those other men dropped a lit cigarette to the floor and suddenly, everything was on fire!"

Read nodded unbelievingly, "Hmmph…and where was Cornell during all of this?"

"The man at the front of that gang?"

Read nodded and the man continued, "Well, I didn't see him for a while, but because it was so smoky in the club, I headed out front into the street and Cornell and Mr Kray were on the balcony!"

"Really? And can you tell me what exactly was 'appening?"

"Well, they were fighting. Cornell looked as though he was going to do serious damage but…"

The man paused and Read shook his head, "And?"

"A-and that's when Mr Teddy showed up. He had been rescued by one of the men who had been out looking for him."

"Which one?"

"I'm afraid I don't know their names."

"…Fine. And then what 'appened?"

"Well, Mr Teddy headed inside….after distracting Cornell…and Mr Kray headed onto the roof along with Cornell. They fought until Mr Teddy climbed onto the roof and encouraged Mr Kray to stop the fight."

"'e climbed onto the roof wif broken ribs?"

"Yes Officer. I imagine adrenaline had something to do with it?"

"Naturally…now did you see Ronnie assault Cornell in any other way except in defence?"

"No Sir, but Cornell seemed quite determined to do some serious damage!"

Read sighed wearily. He had no proof that the Krays had done anything wrong…but that didn't stop him from trying to pull Teddy outside again. "Well be that as it may, Mr Teddy 'ere 'as clearly lied about 'ow Cornell achieved the knife wound and I cannot allow that!"

The man appeared to be confused, "The knife wound? Well after Mr Kray made his way over to Mr Teddy, Cornell followed him and stabbed him in the back. Understandably, Mr Kray attempted to remove the knife, and whilst he was doing that, Cornell yanked the knife out and fell backwards, landing on the knife."

"The knife that was in 'is 'and?"

"Well he twisted in the air, so the knife was pointing at his side. It was a horrible accident really, but the man did experience some karma there."

Read smiled indulgently at the man and shook his head, "Forgive me if I don't believe you or Teddy 'ere. Come wif me please Sir and we'll soon 'ave this all sorted out."

The man nodded, moving as if to follow the officer. However, his phone rang and he stopped in his tracks, choosing to answer it instead of walking. "Hello?"

Read watched as the man smiled at the voice on the other end of the phone and then handed it over to Read, "It's for you. I believe it's your superior?"

Read's face paled as he took the phone and after a few minutes of being berated and scolded, he handed the phone back and released his death grip on Teddy's arm. "There will be no need for you to come to the station Sir…" he grunted, "…'owever, due to the inconvenience that I 'ave caused you…." He took a deep breath, "…I was wonderin' whether Mr Teddy would like a lift to the 'ospital in order to see 'is…partner?"

Teddy smirked at the man before shaking his head and gesturing to one of the men standing by the bar. "It's alright…Ian 'ere will give me a lift. The offer was nice though…"

Read nodded stiffly, before turning away and heading towards his car. As the car pulled away, Teddy and Harry watched in silence before Teddy turned to face the older man. "I suppose you want me to thank you?"

"Would you be surprised if I said yes?"

"…No. You only did that 'cause of Eggsy though."

Harry shook his head, "You're wrong. I did it because even a blind man could see that the Richardson's were to blame for this incident…despite the past between the Firm and the Richardson's. From what I've heard, Read is a good officer….but he is blind to anything other than the Krays and this could be his downfall."

Teddy stared at him for a few moments before turning away and heading over to Ian, "Come on…I need to see Ronnie. Reggie and Violet are already there."

Ian smirked at him, "I can do that….but first, I'm takin' you to A and E. Those ribs cannot be feelin' good right now."

Teddy winced, looking as though he was going to protest before nodding weakly in agreement. "Okay, a quick check up and then we go and see Ronnie?"

"Deal"

Ian gently helped Teddy into the car before driving off towards the hospital. As the car disappeared around the corner, Harry found himself being joined by Eggsy. "Everyone's been paid off and Merlin is workin' on building up our cover story in case it's needed…" the boy turned to face his partner, "….'ow was Teddy?"

"Worried…" answered Harry, "…Understandably so. From what I saw of Ronald Kray, the knife may have nicked something important. And Read's arrival didn't really help the situation."

Eggsy nodded, "I-I need to be there….for Teddy, you know? Just in case Ronnie doesn't make it…."

"We'd best be on our way then."

….

"Teddy!" called out an elderly woman, holding out her arms as the young man strode up the hospital corridor, "I 'eard what 'appened! Are you alright?"

Teddy smiled as the lady gently drew him into a hug, being careful of his newly bandaged ribs. "I'm okay Violet, a little battered and bruised but its nofin' I can't deal wif. 'ow's Ronnie?"

The smile from Violet Kray's face faded away, "The Doctor's aren't too sure at the moment. The knife caused massive internal bleedin' which they're tryin' to stop….'e's a stubborn one though sweetie, you know that! 'e'll be fine."

Teddy nodded as Violet led him over to the row of plastic chairs within the waiting room, and gently sat him down. There they sat for what seemed like hours, but was in actual fact, only a few minutes…it only took a few minutes for Eggsy and Harry to stride through the doors of the hospital and make their way to the waiting room.

"Teddy!" called out Eggsy as he ran towards his brother and collapsed in the seat next to him, pulling his younger twin into a hug, despite the boy's protests.

"Eggsy…" groaned Teddy, "…You'd fink I were dyin'!"

Eggsy rolled his eyes, "I didn't realize it was a crime to 'ug my bruver!" He glanced towards the operating room, ignoring the curious stares from the strange woman sitting beside his brother. "I-is there any news?"

Teddy shook his head wearily. "Nothing…."

There was silence for a few moments before Eggsy smiled softly, "Do you….remember what Mum used to sing to us whenever we were upset?"

Teddy scowled, "I hate that song…the film it came from was dumb too!"

Eggsy rolled his eyes, "You only hated Dumbo because the Pink Elephants on Parade scared the 'ell out of you! You never used to complain about Mum' singin'."

Teddy shrugged without verbally replying, causing Eggsy to sigh. A few more minutes passed by, before Teddy heard a soft humming coming from beside him.

"Baby mine, don't you cry…."

Teddy scowled, "Shut the 'ell up Eggsy!"

Eggsy smirked and shrugged, "I was only tryna 'elp."

"Yeah well don't…If I wanted to go deaf, I would listen to Justin Bieber or somfin'"

"Wow…cruel."

Violet Kray smiled softly at the banter between Teddy and…Teddy? However, her attention was soon caught by an unknown man wandering down the corridor towards them.

"Family of Ronald Kray?"
