What Happened To Polly: Polly Didn’t Want A Cracker
She wanted some damned real food, but the not nearly as smart or dangerous as he acted
Lord Bassingly only had fucking snack food to offer his supposed captives. She ate the damned crackers and cheese, then picked the lock on her leg shackles, then did the same for Deb, Dan, and Jomi. After Lord B came back and rattled off in great detail his plan to release 100,000 disease carrying pigeons into London, they overcame him and his two bodyguards and locked them in a wine cellar.
Later, after MI6 took care of the pigeons and co-conspirators, Polly went to her favorite shop and got a double order of fish and chips.
