its 6pm, pubs and taverns are getting crowded each minute.

Thomas is waiting in Backalley, behind the best English pub. smoking his cigarette and looking at the note that Vince gave to him.

he requested a meeting but nothing mentioned as the purpose. Thomas rarely answers these kind of invitations, but he knew Vince from his last business, maybe it is another business call...

he looked around while breathing out the smoke... checked his pocket-watch... its the time

Vince walked behind the Pub, expecting Thomas to be there. When he turned the corner, he saw Thomas there, smoking a cig. Vince walked towards him. 

"Glad you came, Tom. There's something important we need to discuss. First off, I have been demoted and am no longer allowed to take up leadership roles, so say goodbye to the Drug Trade in certain areas of the city. There's this new guy...Name is Joe. Joe Vontini. He is not friendly at all, and I suggest you take him out."

Vince took out his cigar, and lit it. 

"Something else, do not let them know I helped you. I would be put to death for sure. And don't hold back, this smchuck is a fat pushover, who was only put into that spot because he's the Godfathers cousin."

Vince blew out the smoke, and tipped his Fedora. 

"Take care, Thomas. Stay safe."

Vince walked away out of the alleyway and into a Car the was awaiting his arrival.

as Vince was leaving, John got out pf his hideout.

Thomas was watching Vince leaving, thinking about the new situation...

the Trade lines were important for Thomas as well as for the Peaky Blinders, so taking Joe_Ventini out could be necessary, but it can be dangerous as well if they find out that its peaky blinders business or a member of it. so he need to act carefully and plan well.

so he might need the Help of Vince, such as addresses or a connection.

he threw out the cigarette, went inside the pub, called one of his guys and started writing...

"here, take this note to Vince, the Italian guy were here..no one should know about this, until we make sure"

"alright Tommy..." and he left the pub

Soon after that, Vince sent in a man from his Family to give Thomas and his brothers an address to a Warehouse on the edge of town. Now this Warehouse would be heavily guarded, with at least 30 Mobsters guarding Joe. Along with this, there was a shipment of guns also located within the Warehouse that are supply guys who are forcefully collecting taxes on the Drug Trade. Taking out this Warehouse and guy would be curcial towards Thomas, and Vince is aiming for the higher ranks, and will do anything to get there.
