Sofia // Peaky Blinders

7

Sofia tapped her long red nails on the table and waited patiently for the Shelby's. "Possiamo fidarci di loro (can we trust them?)" one of the men muttered.

She sat there for a moment and turned her head. "Forse, dobbiamo teneril d'occhio (maybe, we have to keep an eye on them"). She turned her head as the door opened.

She frowned slightly as a small boy around three years old slowly walked in. "Daddy". He said. She looked up at her men and sighed. "Ciao piccolo (hi little one)" . She whispered.

She stood up and walked over to him. "You must be Charles". She said. She bent down and picked up his stuffed rabbit.

"Where's my daddy?" He asked. She smiled softly and said. "He's in the kitchen at the moment but he will be out shortly". He looked down at the ground and sighed.

"Can you read me a story?" He asked. She raised her eyebrow and looked at her men for help. "Sure". She said. Her head turned as the kitchen door opened. Michael stepped out and raised his eyebrow.

"Charles what you doing out of bed". He asked walking towards the young boy. He bent down and lifted him up.

Sofia slowly stood up and handed Charles his rabbit once again. "Can she read me a story?" He asked, looking up at Michael with those innocent eyes. He sighed and answered. "It's your daddy's choice".

Charles' face dropped at those words. At that cue Tommy walked in with the rest of the Shelby's. "Charles". He said rushing over to his son.

Sofia stepped back beside her men. "I want a story". He said. Tommy nodded and lifted his son up. "Okay, Arthur fill in Sofia about the plan okay?" He asked. Arthur nodded and sat back down in his original seat.

Sofia sat back down, Michael once again sitting across from her, his cigarette hanging loosely from his mouth.

"Okay we will work with you. Once your men get news on Capone we want it straight away. If you can't find us here we will be at the Garrison. Now if you dare betray us I will kill you slowly is that a deal". Sofia looked at Arthur as he said each word. She knew he meant every word to.

"Yes we have a deal". She said. He nodded his head and sat back in his seat. "Now you will of course be protected by the Peaky Blinders, and once your husband is taken care of you will give us a large sum of money". She raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms.

"We never mentioned this in the kitchen Arthur". Linda muttered. He glared deeply and said. "It's compensation. We are killing her husband for her and they can't get away with the murder of John". Sofia sat back In her seat and said. "Aspetta fuori (wait outside)". Her men hesitated before leaving.

"Okay we have a deal. I will give you as much money as you like as well as the names of the men who killed your brother and shot Michael here. But I need something in return". They all looked at her. "Go on then" He said.

"Luca must never find out that I have seen you and in the future if I need a job doing I would like to use the Peaky Blinders as allies". Michael smirked and gently let out a air of smoke from his mouth.

He turned his head to look at Arthur. "Fine we have a deal". She smiled and stood up. "It was a pleasure doing business with you Mr Shelby". She looked at the rest of the family and bid them all a goodnight.

She walked out the living room door to bump straight into Tommy. "Oh sorry". She said. She looked up at him and said. "We have a deal by the way Mr Shelby. I will be in touch". He nodded his head and watched as she walked out the house.
