»»————-London 1920 ————-««

Liliana was on her way to fulfill sabinis task for today, before she could finally go home and spend the night with her family. She walked through the London library, as she was on her way to speak with her new boss Mr. Pritchett. The young brunette knew there was no way she was going to be there on time, so she didn't see a point in stressing, but still felt the need somehow to hurry since it's her first day. She glanced one last time at the folder with the informations on Ada Shelby in her hand. The Italian recognized immediately that the address of her new house at primrose hill, was just a bloke away from Adas. Sabini wanted her to be as close as possible to the girl and to find out everything that could be of any use. Even though he had a big heart and was a family man, she knew he could be cruel and would do what ever it takes to protect what's his. Nothing mattered more than business. Liliana learned a long time ago how cruel man in this business can be and that at the end of the day, they are all the same. In order to protect their money and territories, they would even sell out their own wives and family members, if needed. Alfie and sabinis war, was actually a long ongoing feud between two old mates from school. But the young woman couldn't complain. Honestly the fight between the gangsters was in her favour. Because since man where fighting like little boys for so many years on and off, they were to busy to even notice what was happening around them and Liliana could use this for her own benefit. The two gangsters met in middle school and it actually seems as if they never left that place. Man like them were fighting over absurdly things, like who owns the most bookies at epsom, which club or  restaurant is the most popular in London and obviously their territory. The line that decided which part of London belongs to the Jews and which to the Italians. The golden line has been moved millions of times, during the past two years. For Liliana this conflict appeared to be a problem, of two privileged, rich, bored man, that had nothing better to do than fuck around all day, drink booze, smoke and try to proof who has the bigger cock. Woman didn't seem to be a threat in their eyes. Liliana didn't plan on changing their minds any time soon, she would just go on and use that for her own gain.
For something new, something revolutionary, a new and better future. But with a new gangster thrown into the game, a man that is know for his ambition and cockiness. It was now even more important to be careful and watch their every step. She new this man wouldn't give up easily and bring a lot of trouble.

While she walked down the long corridor of the library, she put the folder with informations on Ada in her bag and didn't notice the girl in front of her. The girl in front of her, carried a ton of heavy books by herself. The stranger hid her face unintentionally behind those and couldn't see Liana either. The two young woman bumped into each other and fell. While Liliana got up and brushed off her clothes, without looking at the person in front of her. The mysterious girl scoffed loud and rolled her eyes while she started to collect the books full of anger.

"Fucking great. Don't you have bloody eyes? Look where you going next time."

Liliana did not expect this this reaction and looked full of surprise down at the girl on the floor. Most woman in London would never talk this way, because it wasn't considered classy or feminine and most importantly she noticed the strange accent. But before she had a chance to take a further look at the girl, the short brunette picked up all the books, got up and walked away.

After she found the office of her new boss, she met a old man sitting in his chair with a thick book about communism placed on his desk in front of him. He had snow white hair, was wearing small round glasses and looked like he was in his sixties.
He was so focued on reading that he didn't even notice her knocking and entering the room.

"Hello. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm here for the job. It's nice to meet you" Liliana cleared her throat before she started to speak sweetly, as she took a step forward towards the man and shook his hand. Obviously she had to play this very sweet and nicely. This was the only way to get closer to the peaky blinders and to find out as much as possible, without getting any of their man in real danger.
