Victor Lundy, usually referred to as Vic for short, had met Aggie back when he’d been a mere senior Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officer. He’d worked relentlessly, usually on cases that had long since gone cold and had managed to solve quite a few of them. Now, years later, he was the Chief Constable in Lancashire. He was head of their department.
He and Aggie had met in Morrisons while both were doing their weekly shopping. They reached for the Cookie Crisps at nearly the same time and a sweet conversation had ensued. Frothy coffee together came after, with a few pastries. Months later, they were going steady and happily dating. A year down the line and they were married. It all sounded very sweet, didn’t it? There was a catch, though, and one he hadn’t been expecting.
Half a year into their marriage he discovered her rather big secret. He'd been such a fool to not have seen it sooner. Much like her father, and most likely because of him, with such a legacy and his “impromptu” death, she had come to inherit his business. It wasn’t a run of the mill business, either. She was the mob boss. He was married to the fucking leader in their area. A cop and a gangster were bloody married. There were no way out for either of them. They loved each other. He gave her comfort, she gave him love. The sex was incredible. Their lives together were good.
They had to play the game, both of them. Cat and mouse. Always one-upping the other, never quite catching the other one. Never hurting each other and making it look fucking good, too, and all that jazz that came along with hiding such a monumental secret. No one knew. No one would ever discover the truth.
Sat across the table from Aggie now, both of them eating cereal for breakfast, he casually asked, “Any plans for today? We’re working on a massive case. That strangler, we think we finally have him in custody.”
Neil on his RP (Received Pronunciation) accent! The Brummie accent has been voted as "the worst accent in the uk", and Neil has previously stated he ditched it "at about the age of 7" which is hilarious to me considering his twin has kept it!

OOC
wringing my hands together evilly
Honestly I haven't given him a ton but he has a few !!
(don't ask for further explanations on these because i could NOT tell you what compelled me to think of half of them)
— REALLY allergic to cats (and cat adjacent things) nonstop coughing sneezing dying fits when drretro, jermbo, or gnarpy enter the elevator
— not the best at picking up social cues and can't for the life of him comfort people (he tries but rarely succeeds)
— since he likes weird al i also have the feeling that he'd enjoy oingo boingo (im projecting 😞)
— despite canonically being 5'9, im convinced he's short (like 5'4 - 5'5 maybe) I think this is purely because he reminds me of engineer tf2 and that guy's SHORT
— speaking of engineer tf2, that's his voice claim in my mind,,, I love you, insane country men
one of my fondest hc is that i truly truly believe that the hatfords are either scottish or northern english. and a much smaller gang than the moriyamas/wesninskis in general. it just makes more sense to me.
i like to think that the hatfords are more working class,not in wealth but culturally, and that mary wanted more than that. she grew up wanting to be amongst higher society, to be rich and boast about it too. and when she got the opportunity to leave with a man who offered that lifestyle, the glamour and shimmer and appeal of old dirty money, she jumped at it. she left her family behind, thinking she could do better than them. and she told them that too. she thought she’d be more than she was with her family, be an equal to nathan in his business and at home.
and she was, until she got pregnant. and then suddenly she was a mother, instead of a person. the one who caused a problem by getting pregnant. now nathan had something he had to deal with, to get rid of so he could continue his work with the moryiamas. the cruelty she’d been exempt from till this point was suddenly turned on her and her son. Neil became the only thing she had. and she had to risk everything for him.
and once it all went south, the shame and the guilt, and the belief that the hatfords couldnt deal with problems this big, ate away at her until she was on an island of two. her and neil. and while she loved him, she really loved him, neil had torn her away from the life she had made for herself. from the position she deserved to have, among the prestige and wealth. so she resented him.
what she didn’t know, was that for her, her family would’ve made themselves bigger. for neil, they increased their base and standings in uk and made themselves important to the moriyamas. they extended business overseas. they would’ve fought for her had she asked.
