AFTER THE MEETING WITH OSWALD MOSLEY, THOMAS, TABITHA, ARTHUR, AND MICHAEL DROVE TO ADA'S HOME IN LONDON.

Since Ada was at the hospital with Gina, while a colonel named Ben Younger watched Karl until she came home. Ben Younger was the man who arrested Ada years before when he thought she was working with the communist. He broke a deal with Thomas and let her go. In the last couple years, him and Ada had grown closer, and he became the father of Ada's unborn child but she didn't tell him. Tabitha had met him once and he was surprised that such an kind kind woman was married to a man like Thomas, but who wasn't surprised?

Arthur, Michael, Tabitha and Thomas entered Ada's home with a surprised Ben.

"I was expecting Ada," Ben said.

"Yeah. Give you a key, did she?" Arthur asked, walking past the man.

"I was meant to meet her today, but she said she had to go to Birmingham."

"Yes, Tommy sent her on a mission," Michael said. "She's doing my job for me."

"Where's Karl, eh? Where's the boy?" Arthur asked.

"He went to get an ice cream," Ben replied , then turned to Tabitha with a smile. "Hello, Mrs Shelby. It's good to see you again."

"Hello, Ben," Tabitha replied with a smile. "And please, call me Tabitha."

"Ada said to tell you she'd be late," Thomas said, trying to end their conversation. It only made Tabitha roll her eyes.

"You knew I'd be here?" Ben asked.

"Yeah. We knew you'd be here. We have some business for you."

All five of them migrated to the drawing room, where Tabitha say on the couch while Thomas looked down at the chess board. Michael say at the round table, snorting up some cocaine while Arthur sat in the chair across from the couch.

"Any business I have with you, Mr Shelby, is meant to be strictly confidential," Ben stated.

"Michael, you still have shit on you shoes," Thomas pointed out to his cousin, making Tabitha softly sigh. "My associate here can evidently smell it."

"I don't mean any offense-"

"Here, Michael. Go and find Karl and buy him an ice cream, eh?"

He put a couple coins down in front of Michael and began walking towards Tabitha and the couch.

Thomas lit a cigarette, "the man doesn't trust you."

"Fuck off, Tom," Michael replied, before getting up, slowly walking towards Thomas. It made Tabitha get up in case she had to keep them from fighting. "You know. Gina phoned. Baby's heart's beating strong. But I swear to God, Tom, by the time that baby draws his first breath, you and I will be done."

Thomas scoffed in response and Michael began to walk away.

"And you will be king," Thomas said. "Isn't that it, Michael?"

"You know, Tom, there are doctors in London now who can talk their way into their head. Dig out all the shit. Perhaps you should see one."

Michael left, making Tabitha sigh in annoyance. She sat back down on the couch as Thomas came gave a short cough.
