Chapter 9: The Match

I had been spending more and more time at the boxing ring, due time the fact Bonnie is sparring a lot lately, the boxing manager calls

"Aye, no women in the ring!" I look at him

"I'm a Peaky Blinder, shut the fuck up!" Tommy snickers, I go over to the ring

"Bon! How many you knocked out today?" he looks to me and smiles

"Six!" I smile

"Nice, how about sparring with me for old times sake?" he snickers

"Seriously?" I smile

"Yeah." he nods

"Come on then." I take a pair of the boxing gloves off the side, take my coat off and put them on, the manager calls

"Are you sure about this?" I nod

"Of course." I duck into the ring and we start, Uncle Abarama calls

"Be nice, Bon." he nods. We sparr for about fifteen minutes and we had a few good hits in each other, Bon chuckles

"Nice hook!" I smile and hold my nose

"Nice jab." the manager passes me some ice, I smile

"Thank you." I put it on my nose and take my gloves off one at a time keeping the ice on my face, I look at Tommy

"What's the time?" he takes his watch out

"Fifteen past four." I jump

"Shit! I've got to meet Finn and Arthur!" I quickly jump out, grab my coat and go over to where we agreed to meet, Finn looks at me shocked

"What happened to your nose?" I snicker

"Bonnie jabbed me in the nose." Arthur chuckles, I kiss Finn's cheek and we start to walk

"So, what this about?" Arthur smiles

"You'll see." we go into a house, Arthur shows us in

"Here you go, brother." he drops a case on the floor, there broken glass and it's all destroyed, I look at Arthur confused, he smiles

"Home sweet home." I get slightly taken back

"What?" Arthur smiles

"Place for you to being wo- to- to plan stuff for- yeah." I give him a look

"Seriously, Arthur?" I look at Finn

"What's this about?" Finn sighs

"Arthur wants us to keep an eye on there backyard." I become shocked

"What? We've got a place-" Finn gives me a look

"You've got a place. This could be our place, you know, organise it all together make it feel like both of ours." I let go of any anger I had

"Okay." he smiles slightly, Arthur just completely ignored me and Finn's conversation

"It's Artillery Square. Place is full of Communists. The strikers. Having a Shelby and a Colby round here will keep them in order. Light the fucking fire. Take some if this shut off the walls. Curly will be over later for some poison for the rats." Finn looks at him

"Arthur?" he turns to us

"Huh?" Finn looks slightly upset

"This morning... I wouldn't of been able to pull that trigger. I know I wouldn't. They would have just walked past. I'm not John." I start to look at him upset, I take his hand, he runs his thumb on my hand slightly and give me a little side smile
