"I need to speak to Tommy Shelby this instant." Lillian said into the phone the minute one of the maids of May Carleton answered.
"And who is this?" She answered and Lillian sighed.
"Lillian Fuckin McDonald now I need to speak to Thomas now."
"Right away." She heard her footsteps walk away and the maid went to where May and Tommy were. May was taken off her shoes and Tommy was poring a drink.

"Lillian it's not like—"

"How the fuck do you know about him?"
"Because I KNOW EVERYTHING! Now get to work."

"Tom they've taken Michael." Finn told Him as Polly stood up.
"Business first." Tommy replied which angered both Polly and Lillian.
"They took Michael."
"Business first."
"They picked him up—"
"Polly, business first!" Tommy said and she stopped talking.
"Don't be an arse Tommy." Lillian rolled her eyes at him.
