Ada and Keely were exhausted after dancing through 4 songs, they headed back towards Polly whilst laughing about the drunk men in the corner trying to dance. As Keely looked towards Polly she was immediately greeted by a set of cold blue eyes, unable to take her eyes of the handsome man she slowly made her way to the table. "Alright love?" Polly spoke, breaking Keely from the intense staring match she had going on with mr blue eyes. Polly slowly looked between the pair whilst smirking, "yeah, I'm fine. Just need a drink" Keely smiled, "do you want anything?" "No I'm alright love" Polly smiled. Keely made her way to the bar and ordered herself whiskey, as she waited patiently by the bar Tommy made his way towards her. Leaning on the bar, he causally pulled his cigarettes from his breast pocket, slipping one between his lips as he lit his cigarette Keely couldn't help but stare. He had power and pride radiating of him, Tommy suddenly spoke "I'm Tommy, Tommy shelby" he extended his hand towards Keely. "Keely" she slowly took his hand in hers, he watched her every move with caution. "So Keely, why Birmingham?" He nodded his head at the barman as he placed the whiskey in front of Keely. "I don't know actually, my aunt sent me here" Keely spoke lowly feeling intimidated by the man beside her. "Hmm Birmingham is  a bad place, full of bad people. Probably not the best idea" he spoke without even glancing at the woman beside him. Keely took a sip of her whiskey as she didn't know what to say, Tommy turned to study her features as if trying to remember every little detail about her. Suddenly he is interrupted by a drunk John, "hello darlin' " with a lazy smile on his face he slides his arm around Keely's shoulder. "Hello John, you having fun?" Keely chuckles, "fucki-" "I think it's time you went home John" Tommy watches John nod his head and then smile "alright, alright! Goodnight Keely" he leans forward and presses his lips to Keely's forward, Keely blushes and quietly says goodnight to John. "I should probably head home too, I need to go job hunting tomorrow" Keely chuckled, Tommy watches her with amusement "tell me, what are you good at?" Keely looks forward as she speaks "well my family own a bar so I'm good with people" she smiles fondly remembering her home. "Well then it'll be easy money" "easy money?" Keely questions Tommy as her eyebrows knit together in confusion, "yes, you've just been hired by the Peaky blinders" he smiles at the confused girl as he puts his cigarette out and places his peaked cap slowly on his head. "Hired? Hired for what?" Tommy ignores Keely's question as he gets out of his seat and makes his way towards the door, he suddenly shouts over his shoulder "be here tomorrow morning, 8 o'clock. Don't be late" and with that Tommy shelby strolls out the door leaving behind a very confused Irish woman. 

Keely couldn't help but think about what Tommy had said over and over again "you've just been hired by the peaky blinders" Peaky blinders? What the hell was that
