Billy nods and follows them both out to Arthur's car. When he sets his eyes on the car, 'Whoa! I didn't think they made them anymore!'

"It's not your fault. You didn't ask for this, and how do you plan to fix it? Best way I can think of would be to take care of this Mr Black once and for all."
Arthur sits Matilda down on the bonnet of the car, and gets out the first aid kit. "Yeah, she's a beaut. Was lucky to find her."
He brings out the kit, and a torch.
"Hey, Billy, care to hold the torch so we can get a good look at the wound?" He has antiseptic solution out, and gauze, but wants a good look first.

Matilda sits on the bonnet of the car so somebody can look at the injury. She tries not to think too much about it and she has no idea how bad it is.
“I looked at and found the journal not you and I don't want you to be killed because of me. I love you too much for that. I will deal with Mr Black and give him what he wants, which is me” she turns away so the cut can be looked at.

As Billy holds the torch, Arthur had begun to examine Matilda's wound. He stops when she lays out her plan.
" that for a joke. I'd be a right wanker if I let you do that, love. He can come for you if he is stupid enough, and he'll fine me right here, waiting to kill him. tHAT is how this is going to go."
He cleans the wound, and covers it with a dressing.
"Won't need stitches." He mutters, still angry at her earlier revelation.

As soon as he says that, Matilda turns back around to him. She's touched that he would be willing to risk his life but she still didn't want him to do so. It was HER Mr Black wants. Arthur is in the way.
“Fine if you want to do that then go for it. I don't want you killed because of me. Now we need to draw him out” she says in a slightly angry tone.

Billy had listened as the two talked about Matilda wanting to meet Mr.Black.
'I'll help too! After all maybe the Turks work for this son of a B****.'
He looked at Arthur, 'You want to take this guy head on? We will need to do a little snooping around first.'

Matilda keeps listening as Billy asks if Arthur wants to take on Mr Black head on. She is still in a mix of anger and shock. She still wants to see him for answers and to offer herself if needed.
"So how you going to lure him out of hiding because he's probably watching us and waiting" she says slowly to them both. "What else would he want"

"I don't know what we're going to do, but I know I can't just let him take you without a fight. You're mine, love, and I'm not going to let you go easily."
He lights a cigarette, offers it to matilda, lights one for himself and offers the pack to Billy.
"Maybe we start back at the house. See if we can find out why he wants you." He looks at them both.

She nods quietly as he says that he won't let her go without a fight and she cries a little, still angry at herself for getting the others in danger. She refuses the cigarette when offered to her.
"Yeah head back to the house. Find the answers needed" she says in agreement.

Arthur hugs her tight when she cries.
"It'll be okay, love. You'll see. I've beaten bigger baddies, promise. I won't let him take you and I won't let him kill either of us."
He's trying to be reassuring. So far he's survived as much by luck as skill, but he's not going to admit that to her when she needs comfort.

Still crying at putting them both at risk she listens to Arthur comforting her. She needed to hear something to make her feel better.
"I've survived many things before love but this is the first time I've been scared, more so because you're in danger as well and not just me"

He hugs her close.
"Unfortunately, I'm almost always in some sort of danger. It's just the life I lead. You get good at managing it, or you die. You know my business. This is just a weirder rival than usual. That's all."
He does his best to make light of it for her.

She doesn't resist him hugging her close to him.
"I know that you are normally in some kind of danger but I don't want you to be in it. I worry about you sometimes" she keeps quiet for a few moments just enjoying being close to him.
" Plus the most danger I'm normally used to is a problem student in my library, not weird dangers like this" she says to him.

"And it's my fault for getting you involved in these things, so I'm going to have to be the one to get you out again. But, don't worry, love, your Arthur is here." He leans in to kiss her. He loved this woman so much. He'd joked before about her being his mol, and as much as she refused the analogy, he kept picturing her in fifties dress, with a tommy gun, and he loved it. Loved her.

“I chose to be part of this by being in a relationship with you. We can beat this together and we will” she says to him before they kiss each other. Even though they were opposites in life. She loved him and she wasn't going to let Mr Black beat them both. “So let's head to the farmhouse and beat this together”

He nods. "Right you are, love." He wasn't going to give in without a fight either. They were well matched like that!
He looks over at Billie as he packs up the first aid kit. "Meet you there?" He asks, looking at Billie and his bombshell of a car, making a mental note to buy the guy something nice later.

Matilda smiles a little. “Hopefully the farmhouse will draw any troublemakers out” she holds the back of her neck as she remembered that she was injured still. She was amazed that she had not noticed that fact.
“Did my neck look bad or should I be okay?”

"You should be fine, love. It wasn't deep enough for stitches, and I cleaned it well. Let me know if it starts to itch or feel funny, though. No knowing what might've been on the knife."
He puts his hand on his pocket where he'd put the bloody knife, he'd examine it later, in better light, and less public conditions.

"Oh Thank Gods for that. Was just worried about it that was all. I will tell you if it starts itching or anything" she says as she gets off the bonnet and makes her way back to the car.
She looks at Billy and Arthur as well to see if they're coming with.

Billy had drank his coffee as he listened to the couple talk. He took a drag of his smoke and smiled, 'Okay, I'll see you guys soon.'
He got into his car and the exhaust back fired scaring a passerby, over the rumble of his car you hear Billy laughing to himself as he sets off.

Arthur helped Matilda into the passenger side, then got in and drive, following Billy to the farmhouse.
He kept a good watch in the rear view mirror, worried someone might follow.mbutnalso hoping the black fedora did follow. Also hoping it didn't ram his brand new old car.

Arthur kept keen eye on the road and all around as he and Matilda travelled. There was a car that had followed them but speed by as they pulled up to the farm.
The house hadn't changed since you had last been there,except the windows had been boarded up and a 'For Sale' sign stood out by the road side.

Arthur looks at the for sale sign
"Odd that it's for sale. I have the deed of ownership. It was in the box with the key and sarcophagus." He comments, not mentioning the car. He does pull far enough off the road so as to make it difficult if not impossible to ram his car they way Billy's was last time they were here. He reaches back, and hands Matilda a large LED torch, picking up another for himself.
"You want a gun, love? I've a spare if you do." He'd come prepared this time.

“That seems strange if it is for sale, more so if you have the deed. Who else would put it up for sale?” she takes the torch from him. “Thank you love and I would like a gun. With what is going on. A gun would make me feel safe here” she responds to him.
Her mind still on Mr Black and this urge to speak to him was still there.

Arthur opens the glove box, takes out a small 9mm, checks its loaded and safety on, and hands it to Matilda. Then he gets out, looks ar the for sale sign, making a note of the details for later. He looks over at Billy.
"Right, places we didn't really explore last time ... attic and basement." He says, and heads for the house, taking the key from his pocket.

Matilda takes the gun from him and puts it in her bag, hopefully she will not need to use it.”well I've never used a gun, you know my family are anti guns” she says to him before getting out the car
She follows behind him keeping very close to Arthur. She doesn't want to be alone in this house.

Billy nods,pulling an old army issue duffle bag from his boot and slings it over his shoulder.
'Don't forget the building out back.' he says as he follows you both into the house.

Arthur: You put the key in the lock and it seems a little stiff. Trying to turn it doesn't work.

"F***, someone's changed the locks," he says. "Bet you its Rupert's creepy arse son." He adds. "That boy disturbed me that night in the hospital."
He pulled out his phone, and dials the number on the for sale sign.

A few rings and a man answers the phone, 'Good morning, Carson and Sons. How may I help you?'
