part 12- Late Night Threats and Actions

It was dark and raining outside again as Thomas Shelby met up with Mr.Campbell "your message said you have an address for me?"

Thomas took out a piece of paper and showed it off to the inspector "an anonymous tip off, the address is Stanley Chapman"

"You promised me Freddie Thorne" sounding confused "this is instead of Freddie Thorne-", "No deal", "-Inspector Stanley Chapman is a bigger fish than Freddy Thorne, he's currently holding £200 pounds in cash given to the Communist Party by the Russian government, that's right" Thomas said finally gaining Mr.Campbell's interest as the inspector walked over to him
"Chapman has snow in his boots and all you need is a shovel, if he talks you'll have proof...you might even get that medal" Tommy continued seemingly selling this idea more and more to the inspector

"Now, before I give you the address" he said as he held up the paper as he walked closer to him " I want your word that you'll let Freddie Thorne and my sister leave the city"
"very well, you have my word" and Thomas gave him the address, they turned as Thomas took out a cigarette "I'd say our little truce is proving productive for both of us inspector, I get information, protection, and you..well you get bolix" he said as he stepped away from Mr.Campbell

"But on a more pressing matter" he said as he walked to grab a chair and set in front of him "I'm afraid Mr.Churchill is becoming impatient" Mr.Campbell sat down looking at Thomas "and I fear that if you don't give back those stolen weapons soon, I will be replaced that'll be the finish for me that's for sure" he said sounding a bit worried Thomas looked to the side and sighed "once my business with Mr.Kimba is done the guns will be returned that was the deal"
"Then I'm in your hands completely-" Mr.Campbelled sighs "-you hold all the cards...but I hoped to god that my dismissal doesn't come before your decision to hand over the guns and I say this for your sake because if I were to be fired and it were your fault" he said pointing on Thomas

"I would do things that would put the devil in shame-" Mr.Campbell laughed finding his threat so far humourous "-my fury is a thing to behold" he said before he stood up and started walking to Thomas slowly "my last day in power for example I would see to it that you and your scum brothers have your heads caved in with mallets and spades and your sister too that baby inside her would be on no consequence to me...the only one to be spared would be your little brother Finn he would however be lifted as a juvenile and be dumbed part of that adult prison where men have the most appetite for boys like him oh that would be a dark day indeed Mr.Shelby...if my dismissal comes before your decision you understand" he said before turning to walk away he took only a few steps before he stopped and turned to him

"Oh and one more thing Mr.Shelby, I've both seen and been told how 'close' you are to that Ian Bennette boy...so before I have you dead Mr.Shelby I'll make you watch him suffer in many ways, not only will I break him physically I'll find and pay those who will break his spirit"
Once Mr.Campbell turned around and started walking again Thomas flicked his cigarette and aimed his gun at the inspector, as he walked Thomas was really close to just letting all the rounds be dug into the inspector but he had to reason with himself that he needed him alive

After that, Tommy decided he needed to go to the Bennette sibling residence and see Ian, he knocked on the door drenched in rain, he didn't have to wait long before it opened to reveal a tired Ian "Tom? What you doing here? Somethin' wrong?" He asked, his voice was gruff with tiredness "Ian, please let me in" Tommy said calmly in his usual quiet voice Ian nodded not questioning him further before letting him in.
"is Lorry home?" Tommy asked as he closed the door behind him "no, she's staying over at a friend's for the night, said she wanted a girl's n-" he was cut off by Tommy's hands quickly cupping his face and his lips pressing against his, Ian stumbled back a bit from the sudden action but after the shock he responded, Ian wrapped his arms around Tommy's frame tightly, his scared hand holding his neck and since Tommy was a few inches shorter than Ian he tilted his head upward.
