30 minutes later, Georgie's dad had been burnt alive. She ran to her and tommy's Small house on Watery lane. As She ran the Street, tears poured from her big, Saffire eyes. She yerned for revenge on that blonde little bitch.

she ran up the stairs, anger flow through her gains. she opened her bedside draw, grabbing the small loaded revolver. she glanced at the clock on the wall of her kitchen, 12:47 am. she could get her brother and cousins to help the peaky blinders whilst getting revenge at the same time.

she heard a knock at the door and then the door opening. she peered down from the top of the stairs, it was only Ada, she was dressed in what looked to be some sort of funeral outfit but Georgie didn't know why?

"hi, what you doing here?" Georgie asked as she walked down the stairs.

Ada sighed, "when you're upset, people come to check on you because they care. I want to prove a point, try to prove that nobody needs to die today"

she scoffed, "nobody will listen to u, you're a woman" the sad fact was it was true, women were never listened to.

"I need to go see my brother" Georgie said, putting on her coat an moving past Ada. She put on some shoes, before looking at the clock again 1:17pm

she walked round to the betting shop, keeping her eye on passers by. She needed the keys to Thomas's car, she took them off a hook. Polly saw this and stopped her. "where are you going?" she spoke.

Georgie looked back, "going to get my family, they'll want revenge. My husband clearly has a death wish if he want to fight billy kimber with an army of 10 men." she spoke back.

"then I'll drive u, I won't have my nephew's wife going somewhere by herself." Polly said standing up and walking out.

at the camp, Georgie stept out the car, she inhailed the fresh air she hadn't smelt in weeks. Polly and her made their way towards the camp. Georgie pulled out her cigarettes and matches, lighting one. They continued to walk, Georgie saw her ma on a step bawling her eyes out. She saw Mickey covered in ash. Her mother was the first one to see her, then Mickey's eyes found his little sister.

Her cousins came running up to her, clearly enraged . She was confused, until it clicked. They thought it was her fault, that she had killed him? "some cheek you have to show up here" her older cousin, Danny, said. Georgies eyes widened, She hadn't done anything.

Georgie hadn't done anything, "it wasn't her, and it won't of been her husband either" Mickey said as he walked through the crowd of people him and Georgie had grown up with. She went to hug her brother, he hugged her tight.

"who did it though?" Mickey said, looking at how muture his little sister looked. she puffed on her cigarette, in the time she left she had also started smoking

"thats why I came here, billy kimber was the one who ordered dads death. Now he's coming for Tommy, Which means he's coming for me too. There's gonna be a shootout today. You want revenge, come and help us." Georgie looked behind her brother seeing who would come.

Mickey gathered around 25 of their cousins to come with them. 15 of them went in a wagon and the rest came on horses, Polly and Georgie drove Infront. They stopped outside the garrison, Polly and Georgie walked in the garrison whilst mickey and his men walked in after.

All the peaky blinders starred as Polly and Georgie walked in. Georgie paused in the door, lighting another cigerette before her family walked in. she walked forward towards Tommy before speaking "you needed men, now you have them" she said as her cousins and brother walked in.

Thomas offered all the boys a drink, they all got a pint of beer. Tommy was now looking at Georgie, wondering if she was ok. He did feel bad for her, any normal husband would.

Not to say that Georgie and Tommy were a normal couple, they dont even like each other do they? Well surely not, they haven't even kissed once since the wedding. Tommy loved grace and Georgie kept to herself.

She wasn't even sure if tommy even liked her. Sure, after their wedding they didn't speak, but Georgie had her reasons. Maybe in the future, maybe not at all. The only thing she could do is pray he would grow to love her the same way she loved him.

Tommy pulled Georgie to the side. He held her arms, looking into her eyes. "Are you alright?" he asked her softly. His arms made it round her waist, setting off a small warm feeling in her stomach. It made her giddy and happy, he made her giddy and happy.

Georgie just nodded, "Just thinking" she looked in his eyes. He looked genuinely bothered about her, she couldn't help smiling. She placed placed her arms around his neck.

"I think I'm gonna go home." Georgie said. Tommy nodded, she wouldn't want to be here. She kissed him, John and Arthur saw this and cheered. "stay safe, yeah?" he nodded. She walked out and down garrison lane, spotting Ada.

Ada saw Georgie, "Ada what are you doing, billy kimber will be here soon!" Georgie told Ada. Ada had said earlier that she wanted to prove a point, she was going to.

She knew what would happen like the back of her hand, Ada would show up just before the shootout. She would be putting herself and the baby in danger. She didnt want ada going by herself, it was too dangerous and if anything happened to ada thoms would never forgive himself.

she arrived home, she found a old black dress of hers. She put the dress on then adding small black heels on with it. She walked through the mucky streets of birmingham thinking it will be her with a bullet in her skull by the end of the night.

She wanted to be heard and not just seen for once in her life, let every one know that she was back. She placed a gun in her coat pocket before walking out of the house. Ada stood against the wall with karl infront of her. Georgie wondered how this would play out, she just was ready for kimber to die but a part of her knew something would go wrong.

she turned to ada before checking her small, thin gold watch she had been gifted of her brother for her 18th birthday, it read 2:23. Georgie turned back to ada, "right, lets go shall we?". They spotted the wagons pulling in, oh goddess. She took a deep breath.

Supposedly, the shootout was going to happen on garrison street. Georgie pulled out another cigarette, she had never smoked before she met Tommy. She had latched onto the habit on her wedding night, Tommy offered her a cigarette which she took. God she missed that night, well the wedding anyways.

Her and Ada walked slowly to the street, and before she knew it they were round the corner. She looked round it, there they all stood. Guns raised, heads high. She saw Freddie there, wasn't he in prison. She grinned back at Ada. "Guess who's there" the blonde girl said.

"Who?" The brunette girl spoke back, smiling.

"Freddie Thorne, that husband of yours"

"He's there?" Poking her head round the corner, she saw him. Her eyes watered, he hadn't met his son. Ada grabbed her hand, pushing the pram through Kimber men. Some didn't move, which Georgie told them clearly she'd cut them if they didn't.

There both of them stood, in the middle of two rival gangs. They both looked at each other, Ada looked at Freddie, Georgie looked at Thomas. The look on his face was hilarious, she had to try hide her laugh. Karl's cry's echoed the walls of brick that surrounded them.

"I believe you men call this no-man's land." Georgie called.

"Georgie what are you doing!" Mickey called

"Shut up!" She called back, fire raising in her eyes. Georgie looked round, all eyes were on her.

"Have you lost you-"

"She said shut up!" Ada spoke at her brother in law, Freddie's eyes looked anxious. The poor man hadn't seen his wife or child in weeks, and now they are in the middle of a shootout ground.

Kimber looked round at his men, flabbergasted.
"Now most of you were in France, so you all know what happens next.. we've got brothers, and husbands here but you've all got somebody waiting for you." Ada continued

"I'm wearing black in preparation.." she looked at Freddie, he looked then turned away. "I want you to look at me." The pain in her voice was clear, he looked back at the brunette girl. "I want you all to look at us!" She shouted. "We'll be wearing back for you"

Georgie spoke "think about them, think about them right now" she thought about Tommy. "And fight if you want to..but that baby ain't moving anywhere and neither are we!" She spat. The baby's cries filled everyone's ears as silence filled the air.

"She's right you know," Kimber spoke "why should all you men die. It should just be them who's caused it" the first bullet fired, the ringing filled her ears. She looked at her husband, he had fallen back abit. It was clear, he had been shot.
Danny ran forward, screaming.

She felt the revolver in hand, would she regret this? Danny fell to the ground, Ada's cry's for Tommy while Arthur shouted. She pulled out her gun, shooting Kimber right between the eyes. He dropped to the floor, oh god. She had killed, for her man in an act of love.

"Enough" her bottom lip trembled "this war was between my husband and Kimber, it is done. Now go home to your wives and leave us alone!" She felt the tears start to pool in her eyes as the men left, leaving Kimbers body alone infront of her.

She looked back at Tommy, tears building more and more as the dripped down her face. He walked to her, holding her. He kissed her head as she sobbed in his shoulder, his men started to walk to the garrison with Danny's body.

"God tommy, you could have died. You got shot!" She looked in his eyes. He looked at her, wiping her tears. "Never try come save me again, you scared me" he brought her back to his chest, stroking her hair.
