A Pearl (PollyxOC)

Changretta

Evelyn wakes up to an empty bed Polly throwing on some close doing her hair.
"What's got you in a rush Pol?" Evelyn asks sitting up wrapping her front in the covers
"I've got to go down to the betting shop and speak with John you can come along if you want. You would want to hear this." Polly says leaning on the vanity looking at the girl as she gets up to put some clothes on. Evelyn puts on a lavender blouse and black pants her hair in a braid.
"Alright we should go shouldn't we." Evelyn says walking out the door with Polly.

As they stop Infront of the betting shop Polly steps out of the car Evelyn behind her. They walk through the noisy halls up to John's desk John looking over the paper before looking at the two.
"Did we run Kempton yesterday or not?" John asks sipping some tea still looking at the paper
"Danny Lee got drunk." Polly says Evelyn's interested spiking
"Instead of injecting the horses with cocaine, he decided to share it with his cousins." Polly says  John putting the paper down sighing
"Jesus Christ."

"He's your brother in law. Tell Esme to speak to him about it."  Polly says signaling Evelyn to lock the opened door.
"Look. Before I start I don't want you to do anything about this." She says looking at John
"About what?" He asks
"Vicente Changretta's son." Polly says John making a face
"The one Lizzie was stepping out with." John's face unscrews finally speaking
"What Angel? He's no biggie then twopence worth of change" He says Polly looking at John wanting him to take this seriously
"Well, he heard you threatened him directly to shoot him in the knees, and now he's going around Nechells telling everybody he's going to kill you." Polly says John writing things down on the newspaper.

"This is Lizzie's fault to start with, Tommy's for leaving it up to you." Polly says John finally looking up at her
"What are you talking about, we run London. We run the north, fuck we run the whole country. What do we care about some fucking Nechells." He says
"We don't need to be getting involved with all these piss pots." Evelyn says Polly nodding in agreement
"What does Arthur say?" John says not listening to Evelyn
"That's why we're here and not him. If he said it, it would be a fight. He says apologize." Polly says plain and simple John tries holding back laughter at the statement
"He fucking said what?" John says chuckling 

"We own the city, but we don't need to run everyone's nose in it." Polly says trying to reason with the boy
"If the old man decides to make a stand he might get Sabini feeling sentimental." Polly says Johns knuckles turning white form holding his pencil.
"Sabini's done." John says Polly looking away from the boy
"They're all done, and they all pay up." Evelyn says Polly leaning towards the boy
"But we don't want rebellions." Polly says in a hushed voice John sighs
"What does erm tommy say?" He asks his hands rubbing his face
"Tommy's busy. He left me in charge." Polly says

"And what do you say?" John asks moving his hand in a hurry motion Polly leaning back in the chair it creaking.
"Compromise." She says flatly John humming in acknowledgement
"I've asked Lizzie to do it for you. She's gonna meet him, break up with him for good, apologize for any inconvenience and say it was all her fault-" pollys cut off as John stands crashing all the things off his desk.
"For fucks sake!" John yells  Evelyn standing up in return getting closer to Polly.

"You know, you know what all this is, this is Arthur's fucking missus. Turn the other fucking cheek?" John says leaning on his desk
"We'll be handing out fucking bibles in the fucking  bullring with her cousins." John says
"John how it sounds to me is that you won't have to do anything Lizzie will do it for you." Evelyn says trying to get him to listen Polly following after the boy.
"Then it will all calm down and no one will ah e to lose a face." Polly adds Evelyn getting up after them
"I'll take his fucking face how bout that!" John yells as the door slams
"John!....do nothing." Polly says sighing after knowing he's not gonna listen.
"Well we tried. This is going to be a shit show." Evelyn sighed her head against the wall grabbing a cigarette looking over and offering Polly one.
