Lainey stood outside the football feild watching the game going on. She had her whistle at the ready knowing something would be going down. The way a few of them were pushing each other, it was bound to happen. She looked over her shoulder to see Tommy and a couple of his boys cornering one of Max's top boys. Rolling her eyes she made eye contact with Arthur to let him know he was on his own for a few minutes then walked up behind Tommy.
"You let Max know that there is a new top boy in this joint, and I wont have his girls screwing this up for me." Tommy demanded. He pushed the man up against the fence then found himself laying on the ground. Confused he looked up to see Lainey standing over him. He got to his feet and walked up to her. "You've got some nerve sweet heart."
"You don't scare me Tommy." Lainey said taking a step even closer to him. Tommy smirked and before Lainey could stopped him, he grabbed her whistle and baton as one of his men grabbed her around the waist.
"Do I scare you now?" Tommy asked with a smirk. Lainey smirked back and kicked him back into the picnic table. The man holding her tightened his grip as she fought to get free. Tommy got to his feet and wiped blood from his lip. He walked up to Lainey and hit her hard in the stomach. The man holding her lightened his grip a little thinking Lainey wouldn't be able to bounce back from a hit like that. But he was wrong. Lainey got free of him and punched him in the gut then as he bent over she kneed his face. She then turned on Tommy. Right before she had the chance to hit him some one blew the whistle and Two guards were taking Tommy away. Max's man looked at Lainey and nodded. He walked away and even though she saved him from a beating, she knew it would take a lot more to get on Max's good side.
Mavis walked up to Tommy's cell and knocked her baton on the door. He looked up at her as he tried to stop his lip from bleeding. "I thought you promised I'd never see the inside of this cell again!"
Mavis rolled her eyes. "What do you expect! You attacked a guard! I told you not to touch her. Bringing her down was my job. Yours is to destroy her little gang of hooligans."
Tommy glared the woman down. "There is something familiar about that little cunt that annoys me. It's like I've seen her before."
"I don't care if she reminds you of your fucking worst enemy!" Mavis demanded. "You leave the little bitch to me. I should be able to get you out in a few hours."
Tommy backed away from the cell door. "You better Mavis, or the deals off."
Max listened to his top boy explain what happened earlier that day with Tommy and his boys. Lainey really helped him out and took a beating to do so. As if Lainey knew she was the topic of the weight room, Lainey walked into the room. Max turned towards her for a second then looked away letting Lainey know he was willing to talk. She walked up to him and crossed her arms.
"I heard you've been having some trouble with the Millwall boys while I was gone." Lainey said. Max set the weights down and looked up at her.
"So you've noticed. What is it to you?" Max asked.
Lainey smiled down at him. "They aren't exactly my favorite boys. Got some of my friends in trouble a while back. Lets just say, their pain is my gain."
"So you want to go back to before you left." Max asked and Lainey nodded. "Sorry Jane, getting a beating for one of my men doesn't make us even."
"What if I tell you I have the power to bring down Mavis and get you a transfer to a prison closer to your family." Lainey asked with a smirk. That seemed to spike Max's interest.
"Keep talking." Max said as he began to lift weights again.
"I know what Mavis's side job is, and I know your helping her. My offer is this," Lainey said leaning closer to him as if he had mouthed off to her. "At some point some men from West Ham will be joining us. Offer them friendship, and I'll get you and your boys transferred. And put in a good word. But I also need information on Mavis and her operation."
Max gave Lainey a confused look. "All we have to do is buddy up with your West Ham friends. There has to be another catch."
Lainey sighed. She knew it wasn't going to be as easy as she hoped. "One of the West Ham boys, is the father of my son. And Millwall is the reason they're in jail, and the reason my fiancée is six feet under."
Max looked at Lainey even more confused than he was before. "Why are you telling me all this?"
"Because I know how bad you want out of here." Lainey replied. "And call me crazy, but I trust you."
Max smirked. "I'll take you up on your offer. I have seen how much you care for these West Ham boys. Your loyalty is impressive.
"There is one more thing." Lainey said and Max seemed to hold his breath. "The West Ham boys know nothin about me being here. So no mentioning who I am."
Max only nodded in response. He knew helping this girl would help him out in the long run. She seemed like a honest girl. Very loyal to her friends.
Lainey smiled then walked out of the weight room. She needed to talk to another under cover officer. She found him in the cafeteria watching the cooks.
"Good afternoon Jane." He said with a smile. "Things going well?"
"A lot better now." Lainey replied. He nodded knowing what she meant.
"Your order has been delayed again I am afraid." He said and Lainey sighed. By this rate the GSE boys would never get to Tankersly.
"For how long?" Lainey asked.
"A year minimum." He replied. "You shouldn't have put in such a big order."
"Can't help it." Lainey replied. "Thank you Carl."
Lainey walked away from her father knowing that he was doing his best to pull strings, she just wish he could do it faster.
