Italiacs is a flash back
Thoughts of the past:
As George sat in the cell, he had a lot of time to think on what to do. How would he get out of this one?
It was then that a guard called his name. "George Wickham, come with me" The officer stated.
Wickham stood and walked to the toward, then stepped out when it was opened for him. The man handcuffed Wickham, which was nothing more then Wickham had expected the man to do. Wickham did not ask where he was being led too, knowing the officer had no mind to tell him, and Wickham would find out soon enough anyway.
The Officer led Wickham to a private cell, which either meant he would be receiving a visitor, or was finally being moved like he had requested. Though Wickham assumed it only Lydia.
It was not an especially terrible thing to see Lydia, she would bring him decent food, and a change of clothes, but the problem was that she would cry and expect Wickham to coddle her until visiting hours were over.
However, today when the door opened, it was not the face of Lydia that Wickham laid his eyes on. But one that he had thought would never pay him a visit.
...
"Why should I pay you such an amount?" a dark haired man asked harshly while Wickham sipped a cup of brandy.
"I believe you know why" was Wickham's reply with a smirk.
"You're cruel. What has turned you into such a beast?" The man asked, his hands curling into fists. "We were like brothers, you and I, my father even let you share my governess! My family has always treated you as just that... family, and you could still do this?" Darcy asked, truly enraged.
"Of course. I've been wronged Darcy, you turned your back on me, and now, I can finally get what is due" Wickham stated as he sat up and crossed his arms, though as soon as his arms were up, Darcy had grabbed Wickham by the front of the shirt with his fists.
"I gave you chances! Several of them! It is your own foolishness that has done this to you!" Darcy yelled. "Why should I pay for that?!" he then demanded, unable to contain his rage.
Wickham only smirked. "We both know why. It could ruin you, not only you, but your sister... you're entire family" Wickham reminded him. "I'll take the full amount in cash, if you please"
...
Fitzwilliam Darcy stood before Wickham. He took his hat off his head, and held it in his hands.
"Darcy, old friend, you are one I did not expect to see, come, have a seat" Wickham said as he himself sat down and gestured to the chair across from him. Which of course, Darcy did not take.
"Why have you come?" Wickham asked, though he knew full well why Darcy was here.
"You know why, you insufferable leech. is it that you want? Though you have no right to ask for anything after all that you have done, and I payed you already to keep quiet" Darcy replied harshly, though Wickham only shrugged.
"Well you see Darcy, the thing about paying me, is that money, it never does last" Wickham said smoothly. "But you know what can? Freedom. I want out of here Darcy. And who better to clear my name, then my dear brother?" Wickham said in a calm yet cheerful voice.
"And how could I do that?! The Colonel paid Lydia's bail, but that was easy, she had done nothing wrong other then marry a villain by mistake. You, on the other hand Wickham, you committed those crimes, crimes that are not so easy to erase." Darcy almost wanted to shout. It was all he could do to keep his voice down.
Wickham laughed a bit. "Don't be a fool Darcy. I have a plan"
"Don't you always" Darcy interrupted, only to receive a raised eyebrow from Mr. Wickham.
"As I was saying, I purchased my own estate when Lydia and I arrived. But I also had evidence that I meant to get rid of, however I never did get that far. in the parlor, there are several book cases. The first one on the right, on the bottom shelves, remove the books. There will be loose stone, remove that. Inside there will be a bag, containing every file That was signed by those who were misfortune enough to believe in their investments to me. Get it. and Destroy the files" Wickham admitted to Darcy, but then demanded more towards the end.
"Why should I do anything for you?" Darcy demanded glaring.
"Well Darcy, if you don't, word might just get out, of that unfortunate... accident" Wickham replied. "And if you do, I will forget of what happened, The estate, is the Oakridge"
Darcy looked out the window then nodded slowly, looking back to Wickham. Darcy put his hat back on. "How anyone could be fool enough to care for you is beyond insanity" Darcy decided then left in a hurry.
"You'd know all about insanity wouldn't you!" Wickham called after him then began to laugh.
