fourteen

It's in the middle of the night when an loud banging makes Dora look up from her book, she couldn't sleep so she reads a book. She gets up from her seat by the fire place, puts her book on the small table in front of her, and walks to the door.

Dora looks with confusion at the hectic man in front of her. "Tommy? What's going on?"

Despide the fact that she is still mad at him for telling Grace about the black star day, she sees at his expression, that there are more important things right now. "I need you to come to the Garrison with me."

"What, right now? It's almost midnight." Dora asks confused. Tommy nods, before he grabs her hand, pulling her out of the door. The only thing is able to do, is close the door before Tommy drags her down the street.

Tommy bangs his hand against the closed doors of the Garrison, and after a few seconds Grace opens up.

"Get out and go home." Tommy says to her while pointing at the door. Grace looks between him and Dorothy, she opens her mouth to say something, but closes it almost immediately after seeing Dora's death glare. Instead she nods slightly, grabs her coat and walks out of the door, leaving the two alone.

Dora walks after her to close the door behind the blonde, but Tommy stops her. "No, leave that open."

Tommy walks to a table and rearragen the chairs around it. He pulls his cap off his head and walks to the bar. Dorothy walks up to him leaning against the counter with her side. "Are we expecting someone?"

"Yeah." Tommy replies not looking at her. "Are they trouble?" Asks Dorothy which Tommy replies with and nod.

He grabs his gun, looking through the bullets. He then puts it in front of Dora, who looks at it curious, bevor she looks back up at Tommy. "What the fuck is going on?"

"When the St. Andrew's bell strikes midnight, two IRA men are gonna come through that door. When they have what they want, they plan to kill me." Tommy lifts the gun off the counter, while looking her stright in the eye. "It's your job to stop that froom happening."

"So that's why you dragged me, out of my house at almost midnight, at least you could have given me a warning." Says Dora with raised brows.

"I just got the message myself." Tommy answers looking down at the gun. "They want to meet here alone."

"And women don't count?" Dora asks suspiciously. "No. Women don't count, at least not in this at the moment. Now, you're gonna be in that back room." 

Tommy turns around and points at the said room. "I'm gonna be sitting there. When I make a toast, you're gonna come out with that thing raised. " He points at the table now facing Dora again. "You don't shoot. You just point. I'll do the rest."

Dorothy nods at grabs the gun that he put on the counter before he started explaining. "Will you kill'em?"

"No, the police want them alive." Explains Tommy.
