Chapter 7

Music: Take me out - Franz Ferdinand
Angst, curse words.

Christmas was coming on Birmingham in a damp and wild wind. In Shelby Limited, everything was as usual: Louise liked her job for which she worked quite hard, many businesses were on. But what Louise didn't know was that Tommy had an idea in mind: since she told him about her violent uncle, he wanted , without even knowing him, to kill him and to take Louise's revenge.

For weeks, he called and wrote letters and telegrams to discover his name somewhere. He had not slept for days but it was worth it as he eventually her uncle's name: Martin Reilly. He wanted to fix a trap for him to fall into and then, he'd kill him but he knew he would need Louise's approval before doing anything.

He went to Louise, who was sitting and working in a room too dark and big for her. With his head, Tommy indicated her that he needed a private conversation with her in his office.

"I found your uncle, Louise..."

Louise obviously understood what Tommy was up to. "I don't want you to do anything, Tommy"

"But haven't you ever felt that need of revenge?"

"I did indeed... and sometimes, I still do but if someone has to kill me, it has to be me, not you"

"If you willing to, Arthur and I could sort something out to help"

Louise suddenly noticed what it would mean but she had to risk it. Since she had told Tommy, she could recollect everything that devil jad made to her and it sometimes hampered her to fall asleep, it had to stop.

"That would be great!"

"And we'll need you to learn how to shoot, you certainly don't want to miss that bastard?"

"I grew-up in Belfast, I know how to shoot, Tommy"

When she arrived to Birmingham, Louise also wanted to get rid of her past and if killing her uncle was the only way, there would be no turning back.

Arthur, Finn and Michael were soon aware of Tommy's scheme and were willing to help Louise.

A few days later, Martin Reilly was to go to London for business. Tommy and Arthur kidnapped him on his way to French embassy and fetched him in a deserted room near Shoreditch. His arms were condamned by a rope tied to a chair in the middle of a large dull room. Louise would come to him and shoot, so was the scheme arranged by Louise and Tommy. Tommy and Arthur left, taking the blindfold off Louise's uncle.

Louise approached him; she had previously asked for Tommy to stay close, just in case. Louise was shivering slightly, which had Arthur worried:

"We should maybe do it, Tommy"

"No, she needs to kill him".

Louise ignored why she accepted when she said all of a sudden, like a grunting beast: "I'm gonna shoot you in the arm that beated me up, then in your cock that stole my youth and eventually, I'll shoot your heart that broke mine"

Tommy grinned at the situation and the fear growing in Reilly's eyes, who was more and more panicked.

Louise shot him in the arm; Reilly was shouting, panting and begging; Louise stopped as she was shaking but she didn't feel anything but this need to go further; Arthur cursed and looked away. Blood was slowly covering the tiles. Then, Louise shot his genitals and quickly after, his heart. Martin panted slowly before delivering his last breath.

Louise could not believe she had done that; she was glad she did it but felt weak, deprived of feelings and energy.

She knelt on the floor, next to her uncle's corpse, angry and lost in the fumes. As she started to cry, Tommy took her in his arms.

"It's ok, now... It's ok..."

"Take me out of here, Tommy. Please"

Next: no smut, nor angst, just a bit fluffy and heart-breaking
