The car came to a halt it was finally to come for good riddance. Tommy and Rosina both got out of the car, Rosina walked up with her hands tucked underneath. Her heels clicked away.

They both met with the red witch and the buyer.

Ready for this to be over with or so they thought.

With a suitcase in her hand planning her secret getaway. In a brown coat with a matching hat with a black ribbon around it.

Tommy placed two loads of money onto the dealer's little table ready for him to count

"Rosina, Mr Shelby, this is Monsieur Silk, he's here on behalf of the Parisian buyers" Tommy clicked his cigarette handing himself and his wife one

"He needs to verify the values"

"It was a pleasure doing business with you these past few months"

"I see you've found a wife in my sister, least you came out with something"

"Least I'm not entertaining every night" Rosina snarled

Tommy smirked at his wife's comment whilst lighting up their cigarettes

"You would never steal from our family would you?" Tatiana chuckled

"The collection was mostly our mothers anyway"

"I supposed you didn't want it anyway" Rosina shook her head

"No, I think I'll pass" Rosina smiled taking a long hallowing drag

"You needed a tunnel" Tommy spoke

"I need your signature to make this sale legal"
The buyer has its part upfront. Tatiana handed Tommy a case full of cash.

"Where are you gonna go?" Rosina curiously spoke

"Vienna"

"A man is waiting for me"

Rosina couldn't help but laugh

"Poor man"

"You Rosina?"

"Back to Birmingham"

"Not for long" Tatiana sang
"Wherever you go Tatiana, we are no longer sisters"
"To which I'm glad" Rosina grinned

Tommy packed up the suitcase and started to walk back with Rosina. He got her in the car when

"Bang" shot fired causing them to turn. To see the deal shot in his seat and Tatiana collecting the rest of the money

"Don't worry, these jewels have seen much worse that's why they are all cursed"

"As are we, Rosina"

"If you are even in Vienna, look me up" Rosina sighed against her seat.

Wishing for this nightmare to be over. Will it ever?

Tommy laid the money on the desk counting each individual. Whilst Rosina sat on the sofa, drinking a tall glass of water.
Tommy sighed in his seat and hunched his shoulders

"Tommy, what's going to happen?" Rosina raised a question

"Don't worry, soon we will be out of here in the countryside with horses and whiskey"

"Sounds great" Tommy smiled for once since the incidents

The door opened revealing the rest of the Shelby's had arrived. Tommy looked towards the door.
