Johanna sat alone on one of the beds in the room they had rented. She was feeling so guilty. Like dirt. She had been so mercilessly cruel to her sister, when it wasn't her fault at all. She had gone as far to say she hated her sister. And called her a whore. Johanna knew she was an awful person. And now, her sister was kidnapped. And she might never get the chance to see her again and tell her how sorry she was. Johanna whiped her nose on the back of her wrist. How could she be so awful?

"We'll get 'er back Johanna." Nellie comforted her eldest child.

"I told 'er I 'ated 'er Mum." Johanna cried. She spoke naturally, not pronouncing the 'h' like in proper english. Nellie hugged her shoulders. "And I didn't mean it Mum!" Johanna broke down crying. Nellie rocked her and rubbed her back.

Sweeney was leaned up against the wall covered with cheap blue wallpaper. He stared off into space. Trying to think of anyone that would want to harm him or his family.

Toby was sitting on the bed. Feeling very angry. How dare that Anthony abuse Miss Rose's trust and affections! And how dare someone kidnap such and innocent, beautiful young girl! Toby was so furious, that he didn't hear the knock on the door.

Everyone else heard it. It was three, simple quick knocks. Everyone looked at each other. Wondering if it was wise to open the door or not. The person knocked again. Nellie took a step forward, Johanna still clinging to her.

"Who is it?" Nellie called.

"It's Judge Daniel Turpin." He answered. Nellie looked at Sweeney, who didn't give any response. Nellie sighed and opened the door.

"What is this I hear about Rose getting kidnapped?" He said not bothering to hide the fact that he was exceedingly worried.

"'Ow do ya know?" Nellie asked suspicious.

"I hear about all the crimes in London. May I come in?" Daniel asked. Nellie opened the door wide and closed it behind him. "Well this is my top priority. Oh, the person who has done this will HANG!" Toby hadn't been paying attention and jumped at the sound of Judge Turpin's angry yell.

"Well, thank you." Nellie said slowly.

"I want to be there when you meet that scum. I'll beat 'im till 'e's-" Daniel realized that there was a young boy in the room with them. "Till he knows that kidnapping people-like violence-is not good." He finished.

"That won't be necessary." Sweeney said calmly.

"Excuse me if I'm intruding Mr. Todd, but I simply have too. I want to bring this man to justice." Daniel said.

Sweeney shrugged for the second time that night. He didn't care if this man did, or didn't. Sweeney didn't care about anything but getting his daughter back.

"Now, did they ask for a ransom?" Daniel questioned.

"No." Johanna said.

"Did they ask for anything?" Daniel said surprised.

"No." Nellie sniffled. "Just ou' presence.'

"And you have no idea who it they are?" Daniel furrowed his brow.

"No." Sweeney said feeling slightly defeated.

"Well, don't worry Mr. Todd we are going to get her back and justice will come."

"I'm afraid I'm still worrying, Honorable Judge Turpin." Sweeney said coldly. And everyone could silently agree, that wither they hid it well or not. They were worried as well.

Across town, Anthony was nursing a black eye. He had gotten it from Johanna, after he told her the truth about there relationship. He had been hired to court a young lady by the name of 'Johanna Lovett' by a tall, muscular man in the alleyway. He figured it wouldn't do anyone any harm, and took the job. He was supposed to carry on the relationship until engagement, and then break it off whenever he choose. The ring was provided as well. And while he grew to care for Johanna like a good friend, he fell in love with her sister Rose. He tried calling the deal off, but the man wouldn't let him. Anthony tried to stay away from her, but he couldn't. So he decided to fulfill his job, then tell Rose the truth. But, everything had gone wrong in one, hormonal mistake. And now all he had was a stack of fake pounds, and a sore eye. And his love was kidnapped. And she hated him.

"I have to make things right. He said determined. "Whatever it takes."
