The past will always haunt you!
London, 1988

"Lady, would you like to buy a newspaper?" A boy with newspapers ran up to the red-haired girl, Angelica looked at the new newspapers in a bored way, she asked the boy:

"What interesting things are they writing there?"

"Artful Dodger thief has finally been caught, he is the only survivor of Feijin's gang, do you know that, lady?"

"Give me the newspaper!"

Angelica snatched the newspaper from the stunned boy, threw money at him and began to quickly read the latest news. She almost lost consciousness. She went to prison. She quarreled with the jailer. But as soon as she gave him her money, she was immediately allowed into prison. The girl walked confidently without paying attention to anyone. She found the camera she needed, she went to the camera. and I saw Artful Dodger behind the bars, he was lying bored on the couch, he covered his face with a top hat, Angelica knew for sure that Dodger was not sleeping now, she cleared her throat Dodger lifted his hat, he made a displeased grimace when he saw Angelica, her childish features had long disappeared, she had become a very pretty girl, he had once loved her, but he knew perfectly well from the time when they were in Feijin's gang that she could never be trusted.

"Dodger, what are you doing here?" Angelica grumbles

"I'm busy with a very important matter, dear!" Dodger grumbled, he covered his face with his hat again Angelica shook her head and snorted:
"Yes, Dodger, I can see it perfectly well, are you waiting for them to hang you, like Feijin?"

"You'll be glad of that, won't you dear? You really wanted us all to hang, didn't you?"Dodger got up from the couch and approached the red-haired girl

"I don't want you to hang, Dodger!" Angelica takes up the bars and looks sadly at the young man, Dodger also looks at Angelica and says:

"Darling, I don't believe a single word you say! Please escort the lady to the exit!" Dodger asked the jailer, he walked away from Angelica and lay down on the couch again, he covered his face with a black hat and really fell asleep.

Angelica made an agreement with the judge about Dodger, his sentence was commuted, he would not be executed, but simply deported to another continent. Angelica sighs with relief, she won't see him anymore, she returns to her house, she hears Mr. Branlow, she goes into the living room, she sat down on the sofa, and says:

"Did you call me?"

"Yes, my dear, I have good news for you, you're going to Australia too!"
"Alone?" Cries Angelica

"Of course not with my college friend!" This is Mr. Branlow speaking.

"Thank you, Mr. Branlow, I am very happy!" bows Angelica, she feels that it is hard for her to breathe, she leans against the wall, and goes outside she goes to the Wild Slums and finds their shelter from memory, she climbs the steps, and enters the room there is empty, there was only oppressive silence, Angelica heard just running around the rats, and the wind from the open windows, she saw him Charlie, a red-haired boy standing at their dining table and eating an apple, he smiled when he saw a red-haired girl and took a bite of the apple and said:

"You've become beautiful, not exactly Me!"

"I don't see you anymore! Angelica rubbed her green eyes. The boy was still standing in front of her. He had a rope around his neck, he was so thin, Angelica wanted to hug him, but she shouted:

"Leave me alone!"

"Feijin, I want to see you too!" The red-haired boy said

"I don't want to see any of you, you're all dead!Go away!" Angelica shouted

The boy came up to her and kissed her on the lips, Angelica kissed him back, the old window opened, a strong wind blew, the boy disappeared, she went to the window where she saw Sykes hang himself, she blinked a couple of times when she saw Sykes dangling on a rope, Angelica ran away from their shelter back to the rich quarter on The next day, Mr. Branlow put her and Hannah on a ship that sailed to Sydney.

Australia
Sydney, October, 1988

Angelica felt the warm wind, she saw the shore it was Australia, Hannah also came on board the ship, they stood and smiled, the sailors helped them ashore, they were met by the chief police officer, Angelica was met by Oliver, they got married Angelica was the most beautiful bride in Sydney but she was not happy.

It was very, very hot in Sydney. Angelica was walking under an umbrella with Oliver on her arm. She felt very sick. She lost consciousness. She was brought to her senses. She saw Oliver and Dodger in front of her? Dodger gave her something to smell, she finally came to her senses. Dodger was standing in a doctor's robe with a pretty nurse. Dodger invited her into his office. Oliver stood up and said:

"I'm glad you chose a different path, Dodger!"

"I'm just Jack now!" Shrug your shoulders Dodger

"You're a good decent citizen now, aren't you?" Angelica said

"Yes!" Dodger said and got up from his chair too he shook Oliver's hand he said:
"Goodbye, Miss Twist!I hope we won't see you so often?"

"Who is this pretty nurse?"Asked Angelica
"She's my right hand here!" Dodger said

"I know that look, Dodge, do you really like her? Does she know about your past?" Angelica came very close to Dodger
"Does Oliver know about us?" Dodger asked

"I told him we only kissed!" Angelica said

"Poor Oliver, it will break his heart if he finds out that you and I not only kissed, that you don't love him!" Dodger whispered in her ear

"You don't dare tell him about this!" Angelica took him by the collar and pulled him to her. They looked at each other with hatred for a while. Dodger freed himself from her tight grip, adjusted his collar and said, letting Angelica out of his office:

"Then we have a deal!" Dodger said

He closed the door behind the red-haired girl, Wiped the sweat from his face and followed her. Oliver was waiting for Angelica. They got into a carriage and went to their hotel.
