Estella watched as Campbell looked around for someone or something in the shape of guns and ammunition that Thomas stole. when Campbell pushed Polly against the wall. Estella stepped forward but stopped knowing Polly could defend herself, but she did not expect the woman that was like a mother to her to lean in and kiss mister Campbell before stepping back with a sly smile saying an innocent "sorry must have misunderstood your intentions when you pushed me against the wall" she said sweetly making the older man wipe his mouth with a cloth before presenting to opened the door as choppers stormed in "turn the place upside down" he said towards them before talking to Polly, Estella looked around seeing them literally turning the church upside down ripping things apart demolishing the church under Gods eye, Estella wasn't really religious as some others like Polly but she had bonderies and they did not

"Lickey tea Rooms, Friday, 10:00" he said walking away catching Estella's attention "and when i say the boss I mean Thomas," he said again before walking out completely

Estella ran around the garrison with beer, whiskey, and other liquires in hand, since the chopper nearly destroyed all pubs the garrison was full, people being happy having at least one pub to drink in, while Estella ran around, Harry made the drinks and getting the money into his purse helping Estella here and there when two man yelled over to her 'one beer please'

while that happened Arthur, John and Thomas came back from trading the Lees horse, thomas nearly lost the family car, but he won what a surprise, they sat in the kitchen talking about what the choppers had destroyed what had been untouched by them
  John sighed grabbing a full glass of beer handing it to his older brother,
 Polly lighted her cigarette before stopping the fire that spread across the  match
"we need to take our name back don't we," Thomas asked getting down from sitting ontop of the drawer, Polly nodded and he cursed under his breath before he could open his mouth Polly butted in "you boys go give money to the people so they still know who rules this here" as Tommy gave some order Arthur turned to him asking "where you 'goin" Thomas  took one last drag of his cigarette before throwing it into the ashtray sighing "gotts stable the horse," he said but Polly shook her head as Arthur walked away before Thomas sighed walking out of the door but Polly stopped him

"you don't read the papers" she asked taking a hit on her cigarette before he asked back "racing papers?" but she sighed before speaking towards her nephew who looked at her "so let me tell you the odds, i reckon 3-to-1 there'll be a revolution" she said and Thomas chuckled darkly "i wouldn't bet on that" but polly kept talking making her point with ease "that choppers betting on it, and he wont let it rest until he has those guns back" he sighed walking forward sitting down on his chair before muttering a  clear "did he talk to ya Poll?" not even looking at her

"in the church" she said making the younger man's head shot up, he put the pieces together before leaning in and saying "was she there to while he was with you" he asked... Polly knew immediately who he was talking about she nodded making the man curse under his breath
"did he try to find  her after that" he asked but Polly shook her head "from what i know no, she went to the garrison later on" and he looked at her
"alone?" he asked a little anger coming up
"i thought you didn't care for women business" she asked back with a sly smirk coming up while taking a hit on her cigarette it was silent between the two and his aunt soon soke "he knows your the boss, he wants too meet you" as Polly leaned forwards tapping her cigarette on the ashtray she asked looking at him "will you talk to him" but Thomas shook his head saying a clear "no, you don't parley when your on the backfoot" while staring into the air " we'll strike a blow back first" he said getting up grabbing his coat before walking out

he walked into the garrison seeing the raven-haired woman walk around fast grabbing three glass while grabbing another bottle of rum he walked up to the bar and as soon as Estella saw he she smiled as she poured the drinks "well hello Thomas" she said as she walked around the bar away from the man towards a table full of drunk men

he leaned his elbows back on the bar watching the girl he adored sprint around trying to take peoples orders, as she walked back he grabbed her wrist before she could say anything, he gestured to the door and she sighed "sorry Harry, gotta go...but give four beers to table on the back please thank you" she said while untying her apron and rushing out from behind the bar

Thomas walked her out and through the streets, towards their home. as they walked in it was silent, no one was home which was weird she turned to Thomas trying to ask a question as he just walked past her up to her room, she walked in seeing him look through her closet

"what are you looking for?" she asked crossing her arms as he turned to her "get dressed we're having a bonfire" he said taking the picture of the king of of her wall she gasped silently before asking "why do you need the painting of the King for it," she asked him as he sat down on her bed holding the painting "we need something to burn don't we" he answered with a  smug smirk while walking out, as  he walked out she asked confused "what" so he yelled as he walked down the stairs "we're making a statement easy as that"  she sighed and turned to her clothes full of dresses and skirts before grabbing something and getting dressed
