Third POV - The Boxer-Blinder abandoned warehouse in the forest - The Same Day

             It has been five years since, the abandoned warehouse had been stained with someone's blood. Well, at least the blood of someone who was deemed worthy. The last worthy person to be killed there was one, Major Chester Campbell and his co-conspirator, Darby Sabini. Both were tortuously killed for the unforgivable sin of murder. And not just any murder it was the murder of a, Miss. Ming Zhao, sister of the infamous leader of the Boxer gang, Lady Mia Zhao. Those treacherous men were cut like Swiss cheese and gutted like fish by the time she was finished with them. For, Lady Zhao as well as her then, fiancee and now husband. And her closest companion, Alfie Solomon was a victory in itself. Since, that moment the warehouse has seen other horrific things such as bloody interrogation and of course, bloody murder. However, fast forward to now the warehouse will see blood again and be stained for all eternity.

                   The black van that carried one of two precious cargo had parked in front of the abandoned warehouse. And the dead silence that once blanketed the empty forest was now filled with the muffled screams of a woman. The woman, kept screaming and screaming the entire journey there in the hopes of someone hearing her. But, every citizen of London knew never interfere with Boxer business. Especially, when their leader and her dearly beloved husband, Thomas Shelby was in town. If, they had helped the screaming women surely they would be punished severely. So, they all just went on with their day as if, nothing truly terrifying happened. The woman, had blonde hair, blue eyes, and dressed in a torn yet, formal dress. Her captors in an effort to shut her up gagged her with a torn piece of fabric that covered her mouth. The Shadows, they were called, they were the forever loyal servants of the Lady. And whatever she ordered them to do was law.

           The Shadows, dragged the blonde woman out of the van with much effort to the warehouse. She was terrified of what would happen it her once she had entered such dastardly place. Grace, knew very well that her words were weak and her tears meant nothing to the men dressed in black. And she was very sure of herself that this was where she was going to die. Dying at the hands of her former lover's wife and perhaps even, Tommy himself would make an appearance. But, one could only hope that her death will be swift and painless. However, Lady Mia was unpredictable when it comes to killing someone. No one but herself knew the method of murder that was going to be delivered. Whether it be a bullet to the head, a knife buried deep, and sometimes both.

            Grace, was strapped to a thick wooden beam that was buried half way into the ground. The leader of the Shadows, Shen had made sure himself that his mistress' enemy was strapped tightly to the beam. Making sure that there was absolutely no way she could escape. Same could be said to her partner in crime, Esme Lee, the former wife of John Shelby. Like Grace she committed a sin. She broke a ironclad promise to the whole Shelby clan that she would never step in Small Heath ever again. Especially, when her divorce was finalized. Esme, although belonging to one of the prominent families in, Birmingham and pretty. She was still, witless to the ways things work especially, when it comes to the Shelby's. Esme, had blindly lead by, Grace to break her promise and landed herself here. The abandoned warehouse in the woods. Far from life itself. She was very much like her partner crime because she too didn't know how she was going to die. And by whose hands. The two women looked downcast as they were now securely tied to the wooden beams. Grace, struggled the most against the thick rope that tied around her in some dumb effort to get free. But, immediately stopped when the clicking heels and heavy footsteps of leather boots echoed. The two looked up to see, Mia walking towards them hand in hand with her husband, Tommy. Along, with the key members of the Shelby clan: Polly, Arthur, and Finn. As well as, John and his current wife, Rose whose belly was beginning to show. As for, James and the youngest of the Shelby's, Ada were hand-in-hand as they all took their seats in set of tables and chair laid out for them. They sat there like this was just business as usual. As for the two young male servants didn't give a shit of what was going on.All of them looked at the two of them with mixed emotions.
