Tommy walks into the garrison and the minute he walks in it goes silent all heads turn to him but quickly turn back around when they know who it is he walks over to the bar and Harry the bar man puts a drink on the table for him-"here you go mr Shelby on the house"-and he walks away, Tommy stands alone at the bar in peace and quite until his former friend Freddie thorn goes over to him and takes his hat off the counter checking out Tommy blades.

"Crown of a prince..soon to be king I bet"-Freddie says throwing his hat back on the counter, Tommy cleared his throat-"you don't bet"-he says without looking at Freddie. Freddie turns around with his elbows leaning on the counter-"No but that's few days Iv been spectaculating"-Tommy looks up at the ceiling already wanting to be done with the conversation -"about what"-Freddie looks at him-"one of my union commanders has a sister, she's worlds in the telegraph office at the BSA, she's says over the past week she's been hearing rumours about the lees caring for a Shelby"-he gets closer to Tommy-"they says it's Tommy Shelby daughter...is it true then Tommy.."-

Now Tommy being known as a stone cold man people wouldn't see him panic or show any emotions but hearing what Freddie said made his heart beat faster he had to think of a lie fast-"yes Freddie I did have a daughter but she died when she was 3 months old"-he puts out his cigarette and walks to the door-"don't believe everything you hear Freddie"-and he walks out, walking home and anger rising wondering who was telling people about libby.

He walks through the door seeing everyone at the table polly turns to look up at him-"so what's this about"-she says putting down her news paper-"I was actually coming her for business until me and Freddie thorn had a very interesting conversation, he says there's rumours going around about the lees caring for a Shelby they says it's my daughter"- John stands up quickly-"what! Those bloody lees can't keep there bloody mouth shut!"-he angrily sits back down-"I'm gonna deal with lees but first I need a favour from everyone in the room"-Tommy says pointing at them-"what is it brother"-Arthur says looking at Tommy-"anybody who asks about the rumours you tell them that Tommy Shelby had a daughter but died when she was three months old"-

Polly laughs -"how long are you gonna keep hiding that girl she hasn't seem us in a long time, she's growing up Tommy and we're missing everything"-Tommy starts to get annoyed -"I'll hide my daughter until it's safe for her to come home and right now it's not"-polly just scoffs-"yea I bet she feels like fucking rapunzel locked away in a tower waiting to be freed"-now Tommy just gets angry as he points at polly-"yea and she'll stay in that fucking tower until all the bad men have been killed now I'm going to the lees John, Arthur your with me we're gonna find out who's talking"-they just nod not saying a word-"and while your there are your going to see that daughter of yours"-polly says and Tommy just looks at her with no emotion-"yes"-and they leave.

When Tommy, Arthur and John arrive at the lee camp they meet up with Johnny dogs-"right I only got you 10 minutes with her"-Johnny says as they walk up the path -"I only need 5"- Johnny looks a Tommy confused-"are you gonna tell me why your here cause it's been a years Tommy"-Tommy turns Johnny-"we'll Johnny Iv heard rumours about the lees caring for my daughter, someone here is talking"-then John jumps in-"yea and who ever it is will get cut"-they come up to a caravan and Johnny knocks on the door one lee boy open it and Tommy steps in and sits down across from zilpha lee.

She looks at Tommy-"so what's this about"-he clears his throat-"I put my daughter here for her own protection from my life now That protection is wearing off,people are talking of my daughter being in your care and the only people who know of her wear abouts are my family and yours"-zilpha leans closer-"did you ever think it could be your family who are talking"-she smiles but Tommy shakes his head-"no my family want to keep her safe just as much as I do, I need to know who is talking"-zilpha nods her head-"I'll find out who's talking and I'll put a stop to the rumours"-Tommy nods his head-"thank you"-he gets up and leaves.

-"so did you find out"-Johnny says as they walk-"no she said she would find out, where is she"-Johnny smiles-"she's over by the-"he gets cut off by lees laughing and Tommy gets pissed off -"oi!what are you lee boys laughing at eh!"-he says walking closer and Johnny on his tail-"Tommy! Tommy!"-he steps between Tommy and the lees-"go find your daughter before you start a war eh"..-he turns to the lees-"go on, there from good people, their grandad was a king,there grandad was a king!"-he says then him and Tommy turn around to walk away until they here one of the lee men-"yea but his daughter was a diddy koi whore" and that was the last straw for Tommy as he takes off his hat and slashes the man's face while the other two brothers slashes the other lees while Johnny tryed to stop them.
