"Right you stand there." Tommy said pushing her into the correct position. They were in the neighbourhood where Miss Ross lived. It was run down and shabby, dirty and quite small. There wasn't enough room to be running around as a group so every a few Peaky blinders and Black lights were placed strategically in order to fire at the Changretta's, of course the black lights would 'miss' every shot.
Tommy was hidden behind a pole and a few washing lights whilst he had placed her in open fire. "You'll go in with Arthur okay? You have the gun. You are responsible if she tries anything got it?"
"What?" Steph spat. She was meant to be observing not placed right in the middle of the action.
Tommy didn't move from looking through the scope of his sniper. "You'll be fine. You can save him." He simply said.
Wearing white, so the Changretta's knew it was her, Steph walked across the metal balcony and up the stairs. Steph looked around and one of the blinders nodded her in the right way. Steph had a gun hidden in her coat pocket and followed in the right direction.
Arthur was already in there sitting across the table from Miss Ross. There was a small girl too. As Steph was acknowledged by Miss Ross she immediately put her finger to her lips making a 'shh' sign. Miss Ross looked extremely nervous, and Arthur looked extremely agitated. Miss Ross nodded towards the chair and Steph came over and sat down. She poured a tea and they sat in silence for a moment before the girl ran out the door. Arthur followed with his eyes.
"Watch where she's going." He said simply. So Steph stood and went out the door slowly and watched the girl run down the stairs and into the courtyard. Although Steph knew what the girl was doing she still waited. The white flag flew in the air and the car which had arrived abruptly after entering Miss Ross' house reversed off.
Steph walked back in and sat down again, floor boards creaking as she did so. "She just waved a white flag." Steph said in the most innocent voice she could put on, giving Arthur a weak smile. His eyes widened and he stood up banging his hands on the table. He picked up his chair and forcefully threw it at the wall knocking a painting down. Miss Ross sat there shaking.
"Arthur." Steph scolded.
"You think you could set us up?" Arthur said sinisterly. He walked closer to her. "You think you could set us all up?" He repeated now in her face. Arthur bent down to her level. "You brought me here to kill me didn't you?" He asked.
Miss Ross said nothing, just sat starring at the wall, shaking. "DIDN'T YOU?" Arthur shouted startling her. "Oh but your plan didn't work out because we brought Steph with us. You silly BITCH." He said flying up and throwing furniture around.
"Arthur." Steph scolded again.
"No no Steph. No." He scolded back. He pulled a gun out of his hat and put it to her throat. Steph immediately pulled out hers and put it against Arthur's head. His eyes moved towards Steph and back to miss Ross.
"You killed her son. Of course it was easy to convince her. Luca is manipulative let it go." Steph said assertively. "Let it go."
Arthur debated in his head for a moment what to do but eventually put his gun away and stormed out.
"Thank you." Miss Ross' shaky voice managed to get out. Steph smiled and put her gun back and pulled out a stack of cash. "Leave Birmingham with your daughter, you'll be safer. Thank you for your work."
With that Steph walked back out to Tommy. He looked furious and was running around chatting to all the others. Clearly there was no gun fight - so the plan had worked.
Tommy pulled Steph's arm down the flights of stairs and into a car. They shut the doors and the car immediately sped off.
"No fight then?" Steph joked.
"They fucking knew! It was a set up. They are getting to Micheal at the hospital we have to hurry. When you get there run as fast as you can, and if they are there shoot as many as you can." He explained fast pulling his guns out and loading them all up.
"Me?"
"Yes you who else am I talking to" he spat back.
Steph scoffed. "You are sending me in alone to an open battle? I'll be outnumbered you twat."
Tommy rolled his eyes. "There will be people behind you. You are going first that's all." He said trying to keep calm.
Steph turned to face him. "And you?"
"I'll be waiting outside incase they run with Arthur."
Steph scoffed again. "Wankers." She rolled her eyes.
"Alright stop throwing a tantrum get ready." He said looking out the window as the car pulled up close.
Steph opened the door and slammed it running into the hospital. She shot her gun a few times forcing Arthur and Tommy to follow in leaving the Changretta's an easy escape. Shooting a few more bullets aimlessly into the ceiling Steph ran along the long white corridor to Micheal's room.
She fixed the shock on her face fast into relief seeing Micheal was alive. She ran over and knelt by Micheal. She grabbed his hands. "You okay Micheal? What happened?" She asked.
Micheal stared at her with wide eyes. "Who was you shooting at?" He whispered quickly "You only just missed them. And they didn't leave the way you came in."
Steph narrowed her eyes at him trying to understand what he knew. Micheal breathed out in realisation.
"Keep your mouth shut."
