O22'

Beatrice had been working on getting ready for the boxing match all day, she'd used the money Arthur had given her to pay her aunt to make her a dress quickly and her Aunt had done exactly that.

She met up with Polly and Lizzie who were with Tommy at the enterance of the event's location and in her bag she held four bottles of Vodka. "Let's have us some fun Ladies." Beatrice smirked. They then made their way to their seats where what seemed like hundreds of men watched them enter. Beatrice gave Arthur a kiss on the cheek before going to her seat. Polly was sat between her and Lizzie and Ada was next to Lizzie. "Pass it here." Polly told Beatrice who'd just taken a bottle of Vodka out of her bag "I need to piss." Lizzie whined "Let's all go. Finn watch our stuff please." Polly said and so the women made their way to the bathroom.

"So what did Tommy say when you told him?" Beatrice asked her best friend "He said I'd get a weekly allowance." Lizzie replied with a shrug.

"Oh he can be romantic." Polly said before opening the stall door and walking out of it to seem Lizzie and Beatrice putting on little lights stick "Of course as company treasurer I will be questioning that expense." Polly added

"He said something like 'we've had enough death, let's have some life'." Beatrice said bringing a cigarette to her lips. Ada walked in "Pol, this fight is fixed isnt it, poor Gold boys getting beat out there. Right. You said you had some news." Ada asked her aunt.

"Lizzie has some news." Polly corrected her "Polly." Lizzie ground "Well tell her now while the men are screaming for blood. Ada have a swig your gonna need it." Polly ordered passing Ada the vodka she was drinking.

"I'm up the duff. And it's Tommy's." Lizzie told her as Ada nearly chocked "How far gone are you?" Ada asked as Beatrice lit herself a cigarette . "If I were going to London. I would be in Coventry." Lizzie explained

"And are you carrying on past Coventry?" Ada inquired  "All the way to fucking Piccadilly Circus." Lizzie nodded.

"You found out wether she's having a boy or a girl Poll?" Ada and Beatrice asked in unison accidentally. "No." "Go on then Ada said.

Polly began feeling Lizzie up. "It's a girl. Call her Ruby. Ruby Shelby. She'll be a star in a Hollywood Movie." Polly told her.

"Congratulations." Ada smiled hugging Lizzie tightly. "Right Ladies let's rejoin our gentlemen" Polly said and the four marched their way back to their seats where Finn was drinking some of their Vodka. "Oi! You're too young to be drinking that." Polly whined.

The women all sat down and began laughing as they watched the scene "Come on Bonnie! Come on. Woo come on Bonnie" The very visibly drunk women cheered.

"Fuck are they laughing at?" Tommy asked his brother from the other side of the ring "It's the new batch. It's too strong" Arthur replied.
"Come on Bonnie! Come on" The women kept yelling the Vodka really getting to them.

Polly walked off though the other theee went too phased and kept cheering Bonnie on. When Bonnie won the match the women began moving. Tommy rushed to Lizzie who was a few feet away from Beatrice "Tommy, what's happened?" Lizzie asked him "Arthur's Dead. He's dead." He told her, a few feet away Polly told Beatrice who burst into tears "Console her alright?" Tommy ordered.

Beatrice was hyperventilating as Polly and Ada almost dragged her out of the hall noticing Tommy walking away. Her mouth has suddenly run dry, her chest was aching and she felt as though she was being chocked as the air struggled to travel through her. The tears rushing down her face felt like acid.

How was she going to tell her children that their father had died, that they would never see his face again, that he would never make them laugh that he would never dance in the kitchen with her to whatever the gramophone they had played.

Once they reached the bathroom Beatrice sat herself down on the floor, her hair was begining to stick to her face from the sweat. They heard Tommy screaming that his brother was dead from a few rooms away and that only made things worse.

Beatrice's sobbing became even worse. Polly, Ada and Lizzie tried to calm her down but they couldn't. Ada wasn't too sure what was going on, she had been like this wen Freddie died but she didn't know what to call it.

Beatrice watched as Tommy walked a carriage full of Arthur's belongings her eyes were bright red as she held Peggy, she hadn't told her yet she couldn't bring herself to, her family was stood behind as she wore an entire outfit in black.

Beatrice stared at the carriage as Charlie began pouring gasoline on the carriage. She saw Mrs Changretta holding a white flag. Lizzie held her tightly as her father and aunts held each one of her and her husbands three children.

Tommy walked to her and spoke with her before walking back. Beatrice watched as what she believed to be her husbands body burnt. Sobbing as she did so, the fire felt as though it was burning her eyes.

Beatrice was walked home by Lizzie who stayed by her side for most of the time.

"Bea, please just come. Tom's got something for you." Ada pleaded with her "I don't want his fucking money." Beatrice sighed "It's not money, he just wants to tell you something, Pol says you'll regret not going." Ada told her, after a small bit more of convincing Beatrice agreed.

Beatrice walked with Finn into Tommy's distillery. Finn had been really kind to her recently and she was incredibly grateful. Luca Changretta walked in chuckling he muttered something in Italian before saying "All that's left of the Peaky fucking Blinders." He said smugly nearing them and staring into Tommy's eyes. "I had my lawyer draw up these papers. Cover every enterprise in your possession. Bars, Restaurants, Warehouses. Every fucking thing that you've taken, all these years to gather together. You will sign them all over to my family, or your gonna die. Right here. I would have buried you all. But my mother, she, uh. She knows you. She said It'll be worse for you, if i let you live and take away everything that you have. Search them." Luca ordered. Finn was searched first, and then Beatrice, one of Luca's men slipped his hand to her breast which she slapped away.

She stared at him with pure fury in her eyes as he walked off before turning her attention to Luca. "Sign. Every fucking one of them. You can sign them on your knees, on the floor." Luca ordered Tommy before flipping the table. "Get on your fucking knees and sign." He yelled.

Tommy began to do just that "A friend of mine once said. 'Big fucks small' , So I had to find someone bigger than you. Now, you may know there are two families in Brooklyn, who want to take over your monopoly and the import of liquor into New York." Tommy began

"But if they move against you in New York, they'll start a war between the families." Polly told him. "But if you were to die in a vendetta with some fucking bookmaker in Birmingham they could take over your business without a war." Tommy hinted.

"We also contacted a businessman in Chicago. He also interested in moving into the liquor business in New York." Polly continued "His name is Alphonse Capone." Tommy announced.

"You've been talking to that fat fuck?" Luca spat out "You see all the blood relatives you brought with you from New York, they're all dead Mr. Changretta. And these men here." Tommy said pointing to the people behind him. "They work for money for the highest bidder. They now have new orders."

"Is that right? Is that right? And you Matteo?" Luca questioned before turning back to the Shelby's while nodding. "Hey, Very fucking." Luca said before pulling out a gun and attempting to fight Tommy. Beatrice turned away in shock but was turned back by Finn to see Arthur.

Arthur shot Luca and as Tommy ordered the hitmen to tell businessmen in Chigaco that Micheal would sign the license. "Leave, tell your boss what you saw today, tell him you don't fuck with the peaky blinders." Arthur ordered and the men did as they were told.

Arthur walked to Beatrice and grabbed her gently, going in to kiss her or hug her he wanted sure. However he was met with a slap to the face "You fucking bastard! I thought you were dead." She yelled in his face her eyes still angry and her hands trembling. "I'm
Sorry. I thought you knew." Arthur apologised.

"Knew? Knew what?" Beatrice questioned her eyebrows furrowed "You didn't tell her at the match?" Tommy turned to his aunt. "You said you were going to, she was a mess how could I have told her even if I did know, you said we'd tell her he was dead to make it seem real and tell her afterwards?" Polly argued. "You faked his death?" Beatrice scoffed.

"Arthur, we're leaving going home. The kids have missed you. I couldn't bring myself to tell them." Beatrice told Arthur, he nodded in agreement.

Later on in the evening the Shelby's were all sat in Arrow House. "Hold up, a few words I want to say from me heart, and you'll let me finish this time Tommy. Now as you all know Arthur Shelby is dead and because of that. Tommy's offered me a way out, a new identity start a whole new life for meself and I've thought about it made a descion and I'm not fucking going nowhere."

The Shelby's cheered and chuckled "Our enemies are gone, dead. All of them. For the first time since me, my two kid brothers, Tommy and John, enlisted in the Warwickshire Yeomanry, we have peace. So, I think I'd like to make a proposal for all you, the Shelby company limited insist that Tommy here take some time odd. Time you took a holiday Tom, put your feet up. Wars over, no one wants to kill us. To peace." Arthur toasted holding up a glass of whiskey. "To peace" everyone else in the room agreed.
