Whole Lot Of Love

Chapter 6

Having spoken to my fretful mother I assured her everything in London was running smoothly and everyone I had met had been lovely.

My date with Reggie had been postponed, turns out reggie had a five month sentence in prison he had been fighting but unfortunately it was denied. Violet was mortified

"I can't understand it Freya" as I placed the curlers in her hair "he's a good boy"

"I'm sorry Violet" I replied, not knowing really what else to say.

A man with a very pretty face and a confident swagger walked in smiling at me and Violet

"Hi Mrs Kray"

"O Teddy please call me Violet"

Teddy Smith, I've heard of him but this is the first time I've ever actually met him. Rumour was teddy was Ronnie's lover.

"And you must be Freya, I've heard alot about you from Ron"

"I am and its lovely to meet you Teddy , I've heard only good things about you from Ronnie"

He laughed and waved me off "if it's good things darlin hes been lying"

I smiled at him and watched as he grabbed two cups of tea before excusing himself. I turned to Violet and watched her face morph into sadness before turning to me

"O Freya , I'm so worried for them , I know my boys can take care of themselves but .. well .. please Freya would you visit reggie when you can? I just know that'll keep his spirits up"

Nodding slowly I gave her a cautious smile. Violet for the rest of the afternoon seemed a little better, her mood seemed to only lighten as Ronnie entered followed shortly by Teddy and a few others I hadn't met. Wishing Violet a good evening and smiling to Ronnie I excused myself and headed home.

It was Friday, which meant everyone who wasn't working the weekend , which included myself, felt slightly happier knowing they had two days off to sleep in and relax.

As much as I enjoyed talking to the Kray family I didn't get my first dose of how real the danger was until Friday. I was walking towards the hair salon which had thankfully had gone quiet of requests to the Kray twins much to the relief 9f myself and my boss. As I was walking a car slowly curb crawled not that far away from me until I was facing their window. My heart began to beat rapidly as I remembered the horror stories my mum used to tell me

Dont you be walking by yourself Freya, your a pretty girl and men in London will do anything they please.

"Miss Matthew's?

Frowning I turned to the car and saw two men, one wearing a policeman's uniform, the other a suit and brown overcoat

"Yes?"

"We would like a word with you" the one in the brown coat continued to say "regarding the Kray Twins"

I shook my head and continued walking "I'm very sorry sir, I'm just a hairdresser"

The car pulled to a stop and the brown coat man stepped out and stood in front of me "Freya, you seem like an intelligent young woman , so I'm going to be front. Talk has already began to happen around you and those brothers, my advice? Keep walking until your out of London" he reached into his pocket and pulled out two small pictures. I gasped and covered my mouth. There in the picture was a man , his face completely disfigured, his jaw had completely gone, a huge gash of his eye

"This is Tommy Davies, he was just a driver for the twins, now he's dead"

I looked up at the policeman , his eyes were sympathetic "run home Freya, dont get mixed up anymore than you have, the krays aren't the only gang in London"

With that he got in the car and he pulled away.

My body shook as I progressed the information, I couldn't move

What am I going to do?
