Scarlett was shocked that Tatiana said that to her. She shook it off as she found Ada and pulled her out of the club.
"What the fuck, Scarlett!"
"Tommy is killing the priest tonight. I need to get back to Birmingham." She said quietly.
Ada didn't look at her.
"Did you know?"
Complete silence.
"Ada? Did you know?"
"Yes, he didn't want you to get even more hurt. I mean you were on crutches, Scarlett." Ada said.
Scarlett closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Come on. Let's go to my house and drink some coffee and then we will drive back. It should be over by then." Ada said as she pulled Scarlett.

Tommy went to kill the priest alone because it would be too suspicious with multiple men. He had him in his sights and followed him into a bathroom. Tommy grabbed his gun and then he was jumped by two other men. He tried hard to fight them off and did for a while, but the priest jumped in and it was three on one. They hit Tommy over the face over and over again and then they slammed his head into the sink multiple times. They kicked him in the stomach and back. They wouldn't let up. They just kept hitting him anywhere they could. Eventually the priest made them stop when he saw Tommy unconscious. He threw water on him to wake him up. Tommy slowly blinked his eyes, but shut them again.
"How did you find out about me? How did you know?" The priest yelled.
"Fuck. You almost beat him to death and we will never know." The priest yelled again.
Tommy was too far gone to answer.
"Well do you want us to finish him now that he's useless?" The one guy said.
"No. Call an ambulance. They'll come after us and we will have the pleasure of killing them all. Especially Ms. Scarlett Capone. The epic love of Mr. Shelby's life. We'll make him watch. Poor darling, she'll never see it coming." He said as he kicked him one last time.
An ambulance was called and Tommy was loaded and transported to the hospital. Soon his family was called and they all rushed to the hospital. Grace, Polly, John, Arthur, and Michael arrived.
"I'm going to call Ada." Polly said as she walked off.

The girls had just made it into the house when the phone rang. Ada answered it and her face dropped. She dropped the phone and pulled Scarlett out the door.
"Ada, what is it?"
"It's Tommy. Something has happened."
Scarlett stopped in her tracks.
"Come on. We have to go now!" Ada said as she pulled her to the car.
Scarlett shook out of it and got in the drivers seat and hauled ass back to Birmingham. They were both still in their dresses. They pulled up to the hospital and Scarlett ran in with Ada on her heels. She saw everyone, but Grace in the hallway. Arthur grabbed her.
"Arthur let me go. I need to see him. What happened?" She yelled as she struggled in his arms.
"Arthur! What happened? What fucking happened?" She screamed.
He gripped her arms and made eye contact. She widen her eyes at him.
"He's not waking up." He said quietly.
Scarlett pulled back from him and her face had shock written all over it.
"His heart is beating, but he won't wake up." He added.
She shook her head.
"No...no I don't believe you."
"Scarlett." Polly said.
"No, Poll. Tommy would wake up. Tommy is fine, okay? That's not like him. He's awake. He wouldn't just...." She said as she was in shock still not believing them.
Polly sniffled and turned away. They all glanced at his room and Scarlett looked at them and started walking that way. John tried to stop her, but she pushed past him. She froze right in front of the glass as she looked through. She saw him laying there with a bloody, beaten face. He wasn't moving and he wasn't awake. She had never seen someone look like that. After all of her years...no one looked like that and lived. Grace was in the corner crying. Scarlett turned away from Tommy and stared at the group. She had tears in her eyes.
"Where's the priest?" She asked quietly.
No one said anything. She shook her head in disbelief.
"Where the fuck is he?" She raised her voice.
Radio silence.
"I should've been there." She yelled.
Arthur came up and tried to calm her down, but she pushed him.
"I should've fucking been there. I'm gonna kill the priest."
He grabbed her arms and she struggled. She was trying to hit his chest and push him off.
"Why isn't he waking up? Why? What happened?" She said as she finally broke.
She stopped fighting Arthur as she cried. No one had ever seen her cry.
"What happened? What haaaapened? What?" She cry yelled.
"He can't...he can't...." She said quietly.
Arthur held onto her tightly and looked up at the group. Polly and Ada were wiping their tears. Just then Grace came out and looked at Scarlett and then laughed.
"I need to see him." Scarlett said as she turned around.
Grace shook her head.
"No. No you don't. If you were with him instead of partying, then maybe it would be you in the bed instead of him." She hissed.
"I didn't fucking know about the plan. He sent me to London today." Scarlett yelled.
The two girls got closer and Arthur jumped in the middle as Michael walked over. Grace looked at the nurses who were staring.
"I can put you in the fucking room right beside him." Scarlett threatened in a low tone.
"You see this woman? Do not let her in to see my fiancé." Grace announced.
Scarlett went straight for Grace's throat. She had both of her hands wrapped around it and was squeezing hard. Michael grabbed a hold of Scarlett and pulled her off as she was fighting it. Grace ran her hand over her throat.
"Let her in and we will take your eyes." Grace said as she looked around.
"Fuck you." Scarlett yelled at her and then spit at her feet.
Grace smirked and walked back into Tommy's room.
Scarlett got out of Michael's grip and her tears were completely gone. She had that look in her eyes. She started cussing in Italian as she started to walk out.
"Scarlett!" Arthur yelled.
Everyone yelled her name trying to stop her, but she just looked straight and walked out. Polly looked at Arthur.
"Go. She had that look in her eyes. Go now!" Polly ordered.
Arthur caught up with Scarlett outside. She had her gun out and she was checking the bullets.
"Come on now, angel face. Let's take a step back and think about this rationally." He said.
She loaded her gun and looked up at him.
"Oh I am. And I will kill him."
Arthur looked at her.
"Tonight?" He asked her.
"You'll find out after I do it." She said and then walked off.
He put his hands on his head.
"Fuck." He whispered.
