They went out the bakery through the back door and they went up some stairs and they entered what it looked like it was a barbery

They went out the bakery through the back door and they went up some stairs and they entered what it looked like it was a barbery.

As they entered…

"Mr T… The children are here…"

They looked around only to find a man as pale as Mrs Lovett in a chair looking with a fascinated look at a very sharp blade.

Violet felt a chill going up her stomach. Klaus felt like he was cold, when it was actually a sunny day. And Sunny felt like the place where they were going to live was more like a haunted mansion than a rat's nest.

"Mr T?" called Mrs Lovett a bit louder.

He seemed to awake from a trance…

"Oh… Sorry…" he says standing up and looking at the children one by one.

"Mr T…" Mrs Lovett was going to say, but….

"Don't ya have any customers to attend to?" he asked her a bit rudely

"Ummm… No Mr T, nobody's down there right…"

"Get out…"

"But… Why…"

"Get out!" he says a bit rudely

And she obeyed him, just like that…

"Do you want us to go too, Mr …?" asks Violet politely

"Todd… Sweeney Todd… And no, you may stay…"

"But wasn't your name something like Benjamin…?" Klaus was about to ask

"No!" Sweeney answers loud "That man is dead…"

Violet touched her brother's shoulder and nodded her head as if she was saying not to ask anymore questions.

"And I know my humble place may not have the more appropriate conditions…" Says Sweeney walking around

"Oh, believe us, we've been through worst…" replied Violet remembering Count Olaf's house

"Just by curiosity…" speaks Klaus all of a sudden "How much have these costed?"

All of them turned to see Klaus near a mirror and playing with one of Sweeney's rasers in his hands. Sweeney comes to him and takes the blade out of his hands in an aggressive way.

Then he seemed to turn back to normal.

"You could hurt yourself…" he whispers

"I'm not a kid, you know…"

"Gaiehhh!" Sunny called

All of them turned to where Sunny's voice came. Sunny headed to him with a small picture on her little hands. She heads in Sweeney Todd's direction and hands him the picture.

He takes the picture and looks at it with a lost gaze.

"She's… beautiful…" says Violet

"Who was she?" asked Klaus

"Lucy…" Sweeney whispers

"Who?"

"My precious Lucy… 15 years ago this would have been a nightmare… But now, the past feels like a lost dream…"

Concerned, Violet placed her hand on her guardian's shoulder.

"What happened?" she asked when he turned her face to her…

Again he looks at the picture…

"She's gone… After I was accused of something I didn't do…"

"Who did that to you?" asked Klaus

But Sweeney continued as if he didn't heard Klaus.

"I feel like it was like… A punishment for me… I was so… naïve."

Sunny touched his leg with her little hand. He looks down at her curious.

"Taguck!" she said, which probably meant something like "You're not a bad man Mr Todd!"

A smile seemed to have appeared on Sweeney's face as he took her little hand. He walked toward a window still holding Sunny by the hand.

"Charming little thing, isn't she?" He said almost like whispering

Klaus and Violet changed looks.

"Could you…?" asked Sweeney letting go of Sunny's hand "…leave me alone? Please…"

Klaus walked towards him taking Sunny on his lap.

"Is everything…?"

"Yes… Now please…"

"C'mon Klaus!" said Violet dragging his brother by the hand and heading for the door.

When they were going down the stairs…

"Mr Sweeney is…" Violet was going to say

"Dagh!" said Sunny which meant something like "Haunted!"

"Mysterious…" said Klaus

"It felt like he was chased by the past…" said Violet "Like us…"

The orphans looked down for instants.

"You think Olaf will find us here?" asked Klaus from out of nowhere.

They changed looks quickly.

"NAH!" they concluded

They entered the bakery again and there was Mrs Lovett baking a pie

"Oh! You're back! So…" she said glancing at them with a smile "… what did ya think of Mr T?"

"Oh, charming…" says Violet

"He looks all right…" said Klaus

"Gocki…" said Sunny which meant something like "Not as scary as you…"

Mrs Lovett looked at Sunny with a chilling gaze.

"Your little sister must be hungry… I'll try to get her a nice pie…" she says heading for the oven "They look like they're rotting, but…"

"Daifo…" said Sunny which meant something like "Rotting like you…"

Mrs Lovett looked at her with a threatening gaze…

"I think I'll buy her something myself…" said Violet placing Sunny on a table "She wasn't ever fond of pies ya know…"

"Oh, allright… There's a candy shop just around the corner, you can't miss it…" Said Mrs Lovett

"Be back in a sec…" said Violet exiting through the front door

Mrs Lovett and Klaus stayed there chatting for a bit.

"How long have ya met Mr T?" asked Klaus

"Forever…" Mrs Lovett told him " Even before…"

She started to cut a pie with an intense rage

"… he married that… that… Lucy…" she was whispering while shaking "God dam her!"

Suddenly she looked back and saw Klaus and Sunny looking at her completely frightened.

She smiled and petted Klaus' head.

"How about a nice glass of gin?"
