part 4- The Pigs are Barging in

I didn't have to be in the betting shop for a while so I was still in my room in boxers sleeping while my sister Lorraine was downstairs making tea like she usually does, I was woken up by sudden knocking sounded like the person was trying to break the door down, I slowly got up and put some trousers on leaving my suspenders dangling at my waist and grabbing a my under shirt

"Just a moment!" Lorraine yelled, she must have been looking for tea bags since she moves them and forgets where she last set them in the kitchen, I was still putting my shirt when I heard a loud bang startling me, I ran out of my room hearing Lorraine scream in surprise and terror as I ran down the stairs I was suddenly grabbed by my shirt before being flung to the ground outside
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
I looked up and saw it was coppers which made me even more confused 'what's happening?', one was on a horse, I saw that Lorraine was being held back by another copper, she looked terrified, I wanted to go to her to make sure she was alright and comfort her but before I could get up I was suddenly hit the stomach, in the mist of suddenly being in pain I heard someone say "Mr.Campbell, he's a Peaky Blinder" I moved to be on my side wrapping my arms around my stomach it in pain as I looked up to the man on the horse briefly for a second I saw a glimpse of recognition "keep going make an example out of him just don't kill him"

And just like that I felt like I was 16 again in a basement being beaten by a man from the sudden assaults of fists, shoes and batons while Lorraine was screaming at them to stop and that only broke my heart and hurt me more than the pain I was receiving physically, soon I was losing focus on the world before it all went black

(Thomas P.O.V)

When we arrived back from visiting Johnny Dogs and possibly starting a war with the Lee's everyone was outside their homes as we passed they looked at us with both anger and sadness or didn't look at us at all
We were heavily confused

"IAN!"

I heard a woman scream in anguish a man's name that I hoped wasn't who I thought it was, when we came close to Watery Lane I could feel my heart sink to my stomach and it started dancing with intense worry and fear

"STOP THE CAR!"

Once the car stopped my brothers looked at me confused "it's Bennette" I said quickly as I basically jumped out of the car and jogged to the crying women sitting with Ian in her arms not seeing my brothers do the same

As I got closer I could feel dread being nestled with my fear as I did my best to be calm, I tried to focus on other things like how the girl seemed to resemble Ian and I recognized her as Lorraine his sister as I crouched down to them

"Is he breathing?"
Lorraine had a hard time answering me quickly, I tried to be patient with her no matter how much I wanted her to answer my question eventually she just nodded not trusting her voice, I wanted to ask her more things but I could tell she wouldn't be able to give any clear answers at the moment so instead I turned to my brothers "Get him inside the car and take him to Polly, the doctors are too far"
I turned to Lorraine and gently tried to move him from her, she had a death grip on him I could understand why Ian looked as he was knocking on death's door but we need him to get to Polly

"Please.....please don't take him from me Tommy..."
As she spoke she hiccupped a couple times as tears continued to spill from her eyes as she looked at me in anguish, Lorraine wasn't as close to me as her brother was but close enough that it still hurt to see her like this
