'Subtle' should be Eunice's middle name. When she excused her and Emily for a "girls chat" in the lady's toilet, even Emily forgot what the true agenda of their little gathering was. True to her word Eunice has picked up not only one but two pregnancy tests because you could never be to sure. Emily went into the cubical and urinated on both of the tests before putting them on a paper towel on the sink while she washed and dried her hands. The tests were supposed to take five minutes but it felt like an eternity for Emily. "I'll give you some privacy while you wait for the outcome, ill just tell the boys you're powdering your nose" Emily embraced Eunice in a hug and the gesture startled her. "Thank you" Emily whispered closely to her ear. When Eunice left, Emily began pacing around the bathroom waiting for the tests. She wasn't sure what she wanted the outcome to be; she'd love to be a mum but the timing wasn't exactly perfect. How would she break the news to Murphy? When would she do it? She'd have to tell him after their hit at the Prudential because if she told him before, he wouldn't let her go. With all her planning she hadn't noticed that the tests were ready. She looked down at them to find two smiling faces looking back up at her, leaving no doubt in her mind... she was defiantly pregnant. She looked back up at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but smile. A baby was growing inside her...hers and Murphy's baby was growing inside of her. "Em, ye ever comin' out?" Murphy's voice came through the other side of the door making Emily jump. She quickly grabbed the tests and discarded of them in the small bin in the toilet before opening the door to be greeted by a grinning Murphy. "Ye're not still sick are ye?" Murphy said placing his hand on her lower back, rubbing it gently as well as pushing her in direction of the bar. "No I'm fine, just got caught up staring at my beautiful face in the mirror" she said whilst laughing causing Murphy to laugh as well. He stopped her just before they came into view of the others and turned her around to plant his lips on hers. It was the kind of kiss that made all of Emily's thoughts and worries melt away, he couldn't have chosen a better time for it. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he cupped a butt cheek in each of his hands. They both smiled into the kiss as Murphy began pushing her backwards. Unintentionally he walked her back so far, they was now standing behind the others. "Get a fuckin' room ye two" Conner yelled, causing Emily to break away from the kiss and laugh properly. They all laughed as Emily sat down on a stool next to Greenly while Murphy retook his seat next to Eunice. Emily's laughter soon seized after she noticed Eunice looking at her quizzically, she wanted to know whether or not a baby Macmanus was on the way. But Emily realised that if she told Eunice, she'd also make sure that Emily wasn't involved in the Concezio killing. Eunice signalled her over to where her and the brothers were sat to show her the Interpol file. "This is the guy?" Conner asked Emily as she looked at it over his shoulder. As soon as she saw the picture it all flashed back to her, she couldn't forget the face even if she wanted to, "Yes, that's him."

"He's a Sicilian immigrant, name of Ottilio Panza" Eunice said as Conner handed the file to Murphy. "Five,five? He's a short bastard isn't he?" This caused Emily to laugh at Murphy's bluntness. "Yes... and well put. He'll be front page news in the morning but we have to assume Yakavetta already knows we've ID'd his guy. We can't give him time to 'plan B' us."

"We're hittin' him in forty eight hours. That soon enough for ye?" Everyone cut their conversations short to listen to what the answer was going to be. "Should be. Where's it gonna happen?"

"The Pru" Conner stated, slightly smug about the idea.

"The Prudential? What are you, cracked?" Dolly asked in disbelief.

"Why don't you just do it on centre ice at a fucking Bruin's game?!" argued Greenly.

"That's where the man is so that's where we're goin'." Conner asserted to Greenly and the others. Emily rather liked the idea of hitting the Prudential, it's one step up from their usual hits. "No guts no glory, Green Beans" Emily smirked at him as she mentioned his nickname. "In fact, we could use a few extra hands... that's if ye fellas can still get yer Irish on" Emily perched on Murphy's knee as he finished talking. "Hey, I got balls for days, pally. I'm a fucking sack-o-matic" everyone chuckled at Greenly as Dolly and Duffy also said they're in. Eunice asked Conner to escort her to the door while Murphy escorted Emily so they could reconvene near the entrance. "Y'sure ye don't wanna hear the plan? I'm not tryin' ta brag but this ones a real Picasso" Emily and Murphy looked at each other with a 'here we go again' look; Conner thought all his plans were master-plans. "I'd like to critique your masterpiece with fresh eyes. Besides, it's a school night. I've got some homework to do" the expression on her face turned troubled. "What's the matter?" Emily asked in unison with Murphy. "Panza knew you were in there tonight and he just let it happen. Didn't lift a finger. I mean, if he's working for Yakavetta, why would he stand by and watch all his men get taken out?" Emily's mind filtered back to the man that she saw sitting in the van. She couldn't help but think that, if she had told the others... he wouldn't of had the chance to shoot at them. If he had managed to hit one of them, Emily would never have forgiven herself. "Ye think maybe we got another fox in the hen house here?"
