Chapter 11 (part 4)
In the prison the director was talking to an officer.
Leopardi:they have arrested Tommy on an isle?...Tommy Quincy?...and where have you heard it?
Officer:at Quest's tavern there were all his friends...and it looks that they gave him 10 years of prison
Leopardi:this is a great news and 10 years are too short...they could have gave him the death sentence that bastard
Officer:that what I said and I was going to leave my body there
Leopardi:why didn't they tried...I could have arrested them all...what a great news you gave me...this is going to be a great day
Back at the Harrison's house
Jude:believe me mother I saw them myself
Sadie:no, it's not true
Jude:it's not true that one night you were with him hugging at the balcony?...and the day before that man tried to come in your room?
Sadie:she's lying mother...can't you see that she's trying to do everything because she's jealous
Jude:yes I risked being ill because I was jealous and humiliated but I kept away because Chris loves you and his happiness is important to me but you don't deserve him and I will not let you marry him
Victoria:please Jude maybe you judging your sister in the wrong way
Jude:Angelica told me everything and I even saw them with my eyes mother
Sadie:Tommy is just a friend you are judging me wrong
Jude:yes, friends that you see at night without modesty and he enters in your room like a thief...the necklace...where is the necklace
Sadie:don't touch my things
Victoria:stop it now...stop it...what necklace you are talking about?
Sadie:the one my friend gave me
Jude:yes, that's what you said but I know for sure that he gave it to you
Victoria:stop it now Jude...stop it
Sadie:yes, stop it I had enough of your judgments and lies...you are dying of jealousy and that's why you're saying these things...if you're so interested in Chris I give it to you...go and have him
And with that Sadie left and went on the beach.
Victoria:wait Sadie where are you going?...Jude I can't believe what you said
Jude:please mother
Victoria:your sister is a little superficial but she wouldn't do something like what you said
Jude:even you think that I'm crazy?...jealous of Sadie?...I'm not lying mother I swear ...I talked personally to Tommy when he came here asking for her and he even left a message for her
Victoria:this is not important...and it's better if we forget about this whole thing for all of us
Jude:and Chris...you haven't thought of him...do you think he deserve an unfaithful wife?
Victoria:and what do you pretend to make a scandal and destroy our family because of what you suspect?
Jude:but these are not just a suspect mother
Victoria:even if they're not...the only thing that your father left us is this noble and honoured name and I'm not going to lose that too because of a crazy orphan
Jude:but I told you I saw them with my eyes
Victoria:stop it...enough...I don't want to hear another word...and I forbid you...I forbid you to say something else about this
A few days later Sadie was in the living room listening to the music and dancing.
There was a knock at the entrance door.
Sadie:Carmen you're not hearing that someone is knocking?
Sadie went and opened the door and it was Chris.
Sadie:Chris (and she kissed him)
At the convent Wally went to see Angelica.
Angelica:when it happened?
Wally:we found out a week ago
Angelica:and why you didn't come before to tell me?
Wally:we were waiting for the answer from a lawyer in the city a friend of Mr Darius
Angelica:and he didn't give you the answer?
Wally:till now no
Angelica:I can't believe it...Tommy can't be in prison
Wally:that's what everyone wishes
Angelica:I have to go away from here Wally
Wally:and why?
Angelica:because if Tommy doesn't come back I want to go find him...I can hide in a boat
Wally:don't be stupid Angelica
Angelica:I'm not stupid and I want to leave
Wally:if you want I can tell Mr Darius to come and get you
Angelica:no, no he will not do it instead you can help me...bring me a rope or something I can go up the gate
Wally:no, Angelica don't even think about it
Angelica:Please don't be cruel...what I will do if Tommy doesn't come back?
Wally:Tommy will come back...he will escape
Angelica:and if he doesn't?...no I don't want to stay here and you have to help me please
Wally:if Tommy brought you here it means that here you're good
Angelica:but now he's in prison...please don't be so cruel
Wally:I will come back tomorrow if you want
Angelica:I don't want you to come tomorrow I want to get out of here
Wally:I have to go Angelica...try and stay calm
Angelica:please don't leave Wally...Wally wait
Back at the Harrison's house in the living room with Chris, Sadie and Victoria.
Chris:in the mansion it's crazy, my mother have already began with the preparations for our marriage
Sadie:you invited many people?
Chris:I don't know how many...my mother wants everyone there
Victoria:after all you're her only son
Chris:she's so happy...before I forget my mother wants you to go with Sadie to the city for the tryout of dress
Sadie:I will love to go see again the city
Victoria:we will go Chris
Chris:I will come with you too
Sadie:will you take me to a party?
Chris:everyone you would like
Victoria:is Jamie still at the mansion?
Chris:yes, but he have to leave to the city for a few days...and he said hi and he would like to see you again
At the prison Jamie and Robert went to talk to Leopardi.
Jamie:what is the problem?...you don't like my propose?...don't tell me you still have it with me because of that story of Tommy Quincy?
Robert:what story?
Leopardi:Mr Jamie was the one that forced me to release that bastard
Jamie:Chris Dutois asked me to do it but I don't think you're going to waste this thing just because of that unimportant thing. This is a great deal and you're not that stupid to leave it go away...I swear to you that with this we are going to be rich and after all this is not a difficult work...you have to look for poor, strong men that have no one looking for them...you put them in prison for something you say they did and I will sent them in a mansion
Leopardi:what do you think Robert?
Robert:I think we trust this gentleman
Jamie:so it's a deal?
Leopardi:yes, it's a deal
Jamie:I have to go to the city for a few days...i wish that when I get back you will have found the men for our case
Leopardi:don't worry
Jamie:it was pleasure...see you when I get back
Robert:excuse me Mr Jamie just one question...why Mr Chris Dutois is so interest in a poor and miserable man like Tommy Quincy?
Jamie:I think they knew each other when they were little...bye guys
Leopardi:bye
Jamie left and Robert and Leopardi were still there talking.
Robert:what do you think?
Leopardi:he's an arrogant bastard but the deal looks good
Robert:yes, of course but I was referring to another thing...the thing that Chris Dutois and Tommy Quincy knew each other when they were little
Leopardi:and what does it mean?
Robert:you see...many years ago there was this man around here Alimondi that one day he received a lot of money but after he began to drink and he lost everything...there were voices that his wife the mother of Tommy Quincy...she was the whore of Mr Stuart Dutois
Leopardi:what are you saying?...that...that bastard is the son of the old Dutois?
Robert:it can be
Leopardi:and what does it matter to us?...we will not see that bastard for many years he's in prison on an isle because he's thief and a murderer
Robert:(laughing) don't tell me...this is a great news
Leopardi:he will stay there for 10 years
Robert:so there is justice in this world
Leopardi:you know I was thinking...we can get even his friends...we hide a death body in the tavern and we take them to prison all together
Robert:I think it's a good idea
Two days later near the convent Victoria went to buy some clothes with Carmen
and was heading to the gate of the convent to see Jude. Angelica was trying to
escape and moved towards the gate when she heard the bell ring. A sister came
to open and when she did Angelica ran to the gate an escaped from there.
Sister:Angelica come here...Angelica
Victoria:oh, my god
At the prison Leopardi was talking to the officer.
Leopardi:you prepared everything?
Officer:yes
Leopardi:bring the bottles from the store and get them here...hurry
Officer:yes, sir
Angelica continued running and went to Quest's tavern.
Wally:Angelica
Speed:what are you doing here?
Angelica:I don't want to stay in the convent
Quest:Tommy had ordered you to stay...
Angelica:but Tommy is in prison
Speed:who told you?
Angelica looked at Wally.
Speed:you were the one stupid
Quest:I'm sorry but you're going back to the convent because I don't want you here
Angelica:no, I will not leave here...you can't get me there by force
As everything was planned the officer came to the tavern to arrest Tommy's
friends.
Quest:and where would you go?...on the streets?
Speed:maybe what they told us about Tommy are just a lie...and after another week or two he will be here...and if he finds you out of the convent he will be angry
In that moment the officers came in.
Officer:don't move
Teasers:
Victoria:tell me truth...is there something true of what Jude said?
Darius:I can't understand why she escaped
Mark:they took Quest, Wally and all the others
Quest:fuck them those bustards ...I bet this was a revenge of Leopardi he must have heard of Tommy
Wally:and Angelica...did they free her?
Robert:wow, you were right she's pretty...tomorrow morning I will take her with me
Sister:oh, my god...sister hurry bring me the salt because Jude is unconscious...oh, my god she's cold
Victoria:you're very generous Chris, my daughter is very lucky to have you...why don't you sit down you must be tired
Chris:I will miss you
Victoria:but tell me something how is she?...how did she took this news?
