The Shelby Family Legacy // Alfie Solomons

Crossed a Line

'Hi Kit Kat'

'Hi Tommy'

'Fucking hell.' Alfie said cursing immediately upon getting out of the car

'I asked you to come alone and unarmed' Tommy told them

'Hey I thought you wanted me here?'' Kat reminded him.

'Not you, him.' Tommy said pointing to one of alfies guards.

'Yeah well alone? I ain't never gonna do that.' Alfie informed him. 'and I am unarmed.'

'Not that he needs Buck over there,' kat told him. 'if I wanted to kill you I could do it easily.' Kat reminded Tommy.

'Good thing you and I are square then?' tommy teased. But his eyes moved to alfies cane.

'As for the cane don't worry about it it's just for my sciatica it's always plays up around the winter and the summer solstice.' Alfie informed him.

'Come on Tommy, don't be difficult.' Kat told him hugging him.

'What have you got for me Alfie?'

'What did you bring me out here for?' Alfie countered

'It's on the way to somewhere and I need to be in a hurry.' Tommy told him

'Yeah?' Alfie questioned.

'Lies.' Kat whispered moving back to Alfies side.

'What have you got for me?' Tommy repeated

'Well seeing as you were prepared to pay such an exorbitant amount for this information I decide to give you value for money. So here are the names of all the men in England whom I would approach right if I had a Faberge egg for sale. There you go and then here's all the men on that list you know, who would buy the old Faberge egg even if they knew that item was stolen.' He handed him a second note 'then cause you're curious fucking gypsy mind, I won't ask but here's a list of men who would buy a Faberge egg because of their wives obsession.' A third list handed over

Tommy handed over a wad of cash.

'Oh yes. Thank you Mr. Shelby lovely doing business with you.' Alfie said handing the cash over to kat. She ran her thumb through the thick roll.

'See you soon, Tom.' Kat said spinning around but Tommy pulled out his gun as did alfies man. Alfie stood waiting hand on his cane.

'Tommy!' Kat yelled stepping in front of alfie

'You know you left a name off the list.' Tommy told him

'Did I?'

'Yeah. I've already spoken to my people in the jewelry quarter' Tom informed him 'experience dealers. They tell me there are only three Men in britain whose wives are obsessed with Faberge... make some good customers you missed the richest one of them off the list.' Tommy told him

'Yeah well if you already knew how come you dragged me all the way out into the fucking oggin mate?' Alfie questioned. Tommy moved his gun slowly trying to avoid his sisters head.

'Three reasons. Reason one by withholding a name you most certainly know you proven to me that you've done a deal with the old fellows. Two,' tommy went on, kat was trying to get his gun and stay in front of Alfie, knowing Tommy wouldn't shoot her. '-it was you who told him about the tunnel. You told them about the fucking deal with the Soviets. Reason to the name of the man that you were withholding must be my enemy otherwise you wouldn't be protecting him. He is now man I could use.'

'Listen sweetie you can't-'. Alfie began.

'You gave information in exchange for a share.' Tommy told him.
