Amy awoke with a pounding headache and an empty bed. She knew Thomas had left by how cold the other side of the bed was she guessed he had left early that morning. Not wanting to think of how embarrassed she felt she got up and ran herself a shower. While showering she couldn't help but wonder why she asked Thomas to stay with her, did she find a sense of safety with Tommy? Was it going to lead somewhere and she become heartbroken again? Getting out of the shower Amy walked into her bedroom and began getting changed until she heard a knock on the door. Going down the stairs she opened the door and was met by John Shelby.
"Tommy asked me to call you love, family meeting in 15 minutes, you wont want to miss this" John said with a stoic expression.
Amy simply nodded and closed the door. Getting herself dressed she put a black tight dress on with her long fur coat and fair makeup. Picking up her bag she headed for the door. Closing the door behind her she made her way to the Shelbys and began going through her bag for her cigarettes. aking one out she began to light it while waiting patiently for someone to open the door.
"Hello Love" Polly greated her as she gave her a hug and looked at her with sympathy. "Before you go any further you need to know something" Polly continued giving the girl a concerned look.
"What, Tommy is in there with one of his whores? Its okay Polly I told you that Im not interested" Amy was then cut off by Polly "A Capone is sitting in our kitchen demanding we drop business with you and start business with them"
Amy barged passed Polly and staright into the betting den. She noticed all the Shelbys were at the table and Tommy was stood by his office door. Amy looked around until she was met with the face of the eldest brother in the Capone family. Amy took out her gun and held it up in line with his head.
"Amy put the gun down" came the voice of Arthur Shelby.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow this fuckers brains out right here, right now" Amy spoke her eyes never leaving the Capone member.
"All bark no bite you are Amy, we are the bigger and better deal, I have exchanged information on a deal we are willing to participate with in order to stop you and your bastard of a father in dealing with the Shelbys" He spoke
"I am feeling pretty generous today so I will give you to the count of 3 to get out before I kill you right here and send your remains back to your fat fuck of a father, Id rather take you all down together but what harm would it be of 1 person was gone out of the picture, eh Liam?" Amy spoke gun still pointed in his direction.
"Put the gun down Amy" Tommy spoke looking between her and Liam.
"You are seriously not gonna do business with this fucker are you Thomas?" Amy questioned breaking eye contact and looking at Tommy.
"We looked at the numbers, us as a family are going to discuss it once we all cool off" Tommy spoke looking to the ground
"Go to hell" Amy spoke and turned on her heel and walked out tears filling up in her eyes. How could he do that to her.
"You are seriously not gonna do business with them are you Thomas? After everything they put her through you want to do business with these low lifes" Polly spoke disgusted with Tommys behaviour.
"My father will be thrilled Mr Shelby, once our business is settled I will take care of the Sullivans, especially Amy, What I would do to watch her bleed out infront of me and watch the life drain from er body" Liam was cut off by the sound of a gun hitting his forehead. He slummed to the ground with a bullet between the eyes. Everyone turned to see who shot him and it was Tommy.
"Are you mad Tommy, you just started war with the Capones" Arthur said concern in his voice.
"I will not have them speak about our business partner like that Arthur, Amy was going to kill him anyway I just did her a favour, Now take the body dump it somewhere that they think it was a bad fight and leave him rot in hell" Tommy spoke before exiting the house and out on to the streets.
Amy sat at the bar in the Garrison. She was hurt by Tommy but more ashamed that she acted like that infront of everyone. Grabbing her drink she swallowed it back and gestured towards Harry for another. Hearing the door open Amy hoped it wasn't any of the Shelbys but to her unfortunate luck it was, and it was the least favourite Shelby at the moment. Without turning around Amy could tell it was him as he stood next to her.
"Im not doing business with the Capones" He spoke as he looked at the bar.
"What you said awhile ago doesn't sound like you aren't doing business with them" Amy spoke as she continued to drink her drink. "Im on the first plane home tomorrow morning so don't let me stop you doing business with that fat fuck" She continued swallowing the remains of her drink.
"Im not doing business with them because Liam Capone is currently lying in my house dead" Tommy said not looking at her.
Amy swallowed hard and turned to face Tommy "Hes what" She said her facial expression shocked.
"He said things I didn't like lets just leave it at that eh" Tommy said as he began drinking his drink.
Amy was beyond shocked, she was beyond relieved that he wasn't doing business with them but also relieved that she knew he was dead. Amy didn't say a word just simply got up from the chair and hugged Tommy, he didn't know how to respond at first until he turned his body and hugged her back.
"Thank you" She simply whispered into his coat and a simple nod is what she received back. That was all she needed to hear in that moment.
