Grace tapped on the wall waiting for the person on the other side of the line to pick up
"Inspector Campbell speaking" the ruff voice greeted "hello its me Grace , inspector I think I have some news for you"

"Continue"
"In the pub there was a woman named Lily she goes by the name Queenie I don't know what her last name is but she is friends with Ada Shelby and seems to have history with Thomas Shelby"

"Thank you" and the line cut short

Grace put the phone down and walked back around the bar "who was that?" Harry asked the innocent question
"Just a call from a old family member" Grace lied she had lied a lot and seemed to master the trick easily

"You must miss them?"
Grace only hummed at his questions not wanting to get caught up in her trap of white lies

"Grace! Nice to see you again" Queenie cheered walking up to the bar

"It's nice to see you to ,would you like a drink?"
"Oh go on then I'll have a whiskey." She ordered Grace placed the drink on the counter and Queenie responded by putting down her money which Grace gladly took

"Oh I love that dress , lovely" Queenie complimented " thank you, it's quite old I was planning on going out shopping to buy more outfits"
Grace although being a spy actually quite enjoyed the company of the woman that stood before her

" Oh that's sounds lovely I do love a good shop" Queenie was in a much better mood and found a new friend in Grace

"You could come if you like I'm going on Saturday when I'm not working" a even bigger smile rose on Lily's face of course she wanted to come

" Oh you wouldn't mind if I brought Ada with us she loves this type of thing" Grace nodded this was a Great opportunity to get closer to the Shelby's and find out more about them

Saturday

" Inspector,I'm going on a outing with Ada Shelby and lily Kingston I'll try to get as much information as possible"
Grace spoke In a hushed whisper
"Well done Grace remember our meeting at the museum on Sunday" he reminded

"No I haven't forgotten, I've got to go"
And grace put the phone down and began gathering everything she needed

Queenie adjusted her hat as she was walking she soon stopped outside the Shelby households door and knocked three times and the door opened Polly Gray stood on the other side

"Queenie! I've missed you come in" she ushered , Queenie stepped in and stood awkwardly in the hallway
"Well don't just stand there come in , do you want a cup of tea?"
Polly asked but she only shook her head

" I'm here for Ada were going out shopping with the new barmaid"

"ADA" Polly called at the end of the stairs Ada walked down the stairs and pulled Queenie into a tight hug

"Ughh Pol why you always shouting" John trailed in he paused noticing Queenie talking to Ada

When she turned around he new it was her and pulled her into a  tight hug

"I've missed you, eh my best friend Queenie K"
She smiled "I wish everyone would stop calling me that silly old name it's Lily' she huffed but still kept a smile on her face

"Oh please you'll always be my Queenie" John smirked " were have you been eh I've missed you" a frown replaced her smile

" John you can ask her that later come on Queenie let's go Grace will be wondering where we are" Ada pleaded trying to steer away from the subject.
