Mariana's POV
I'd settled into the hotel fine, I had a few of my men come down from London and posted them outside the for security.
It was two days until I heard from Tommy saying he needed my help I'd visited Polly yesterday and she'd filled me in that the boys now knew Ada was pregnant, the consequences not being very pretty.
I'd woken up today and got as much paperwork done as I could, calling suppliers and making sure everything was doing okay without me.
I'd gotten refreshed and changed ready to go to the Garrison when Tommy sent a peaky round to tell me I was needed in the pub later tonight.

I walked into the pub to find it almost empty, I made my way to the private booth and let myself in, finding Tommy, John and Arthur sat drinking.
"Ah and she has arrived!" John announced, pretending to bow to me, I rolled my eyes and sat down in between him and the wall.
"Yeah, now be a good lamb and fetch me a drink" I said sweetly, he grinned at me and looked towards Tommy, pointing to the little window between the bar and the room.
"You heard the woman Tom, call your barmaid through" John said Tommy rolled his eyes but knocked on the window regardless
"Tommy took an interest eh?" I whispered to John as he ordered me a whiskey through the window "Yeah... Tom's taken a liking to the new barmaid, Grace" John explained to me loudly, I gave him a slight nod and smirked as Tommy turned back around.
It was about time he moved on
"So, what's going on?" I asked John and Arthur both looked at me unknowingly, of course Tommy's told them fuck all It was always say nothing until the last second, when we're all about to die "We're meeting someone" Tommy stated simply
