It had been 2 weeks since Jessica had been home and her father had found out where Michael was and she was going to see him today. 2 weeks ago, she had gotten back from her monthly trip to the states to see her family. Her monthly trip to make sure her brothers had the family business in line and there were no issues. The second the plane landed she had gone to the village to see her boyfriend to only be told he had left a little over a month ago to be with his birth mother. Rosemary didn't know where that was and could not provide her any information. Jessica had gone home in tears to her father who knew he could pull strings to find out where Michael was.
Her driver pulled up to the outside of a business called the Shelby Company and Limited. Her father gave her strict directions that if she wanted to go without him, she would need 3 men from their security as well as she needed to leave by 3:00 and give a letter to someone there named Thomas Shelby and if he asked questions to answer yes tomorrow and yes everyone in the room. Her nerves were getting to her and she felt a pit in her stomach. What happens if her father was wrong? Her whole life he had gotten everything right when it came to her, but what happens if Michael wasn't there? As she got out one of the men asked, "Miss Jessica do you want us to go in with you?" She responded, "Ill come out to let you know if he's in there so you do not worry. And if he isn't in there, I'll be out a lot quicker." Mr. Hen the driver patted her on the back and gave her a slight nod to the front door. The whole staff in the house had seen how broken Jessica was and had hoped after today she would go back to herself.
On the inside of Shelby Company and Limited, Finn yelled out from the window, "A posh car just pulled up with 4 men and a girl. The girl is walking towards the door and she is beautiful." Everyones eyes had gone to the front door taking a pause on the family meeting they were having. A small knock came before the door opened slowly. Jessica walked in nervously and said, "Hi I am looking for Michael Gray is he here?" With so many eyes staring at her she felt so small. A taller older woman spoke first, "Who are you and why are you looking for Michael?" Before she could speak, out from a side office Michael came out and they locked eyes. "Jessica" he said stunned to see her right in front of him. Michael quickly went towards Jessica grabbing her face and kissing her and holding on to her for dear life. It felt like minutes before they parted. Tears streaming down her face from happiness.
"What are you doing here and how did you find me?"Michael asked as he wiped the tears off of her face. "I thought you would be gone till the end of the month," he continued. "My brothers are doing really well with the business and my dad missed me so I came home early. I went to your house and Rosemary had said you left to find your birth mother. You know how my dad is and told me he would have an address for me and he found you," she responded. With a big grin on his face, Michael turned around to see his whole family staring at him. He took Jessica by the hand and walked over to his mother. "Jess, this is my mother Elizabeth Gray." Jessica let go of his hand and instantly hugged her realizing the woman was as stiff as a board. Jessica exclaimed, "I am so sorry I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. Michael and I have been talking about this day for months on what you would look like and be like." She turned to Michael and continued, "She is so much more beautiful than we could have ever imagined." Hearing the girl talk about her like that, Polly cracked a smile and stuck out her hand,"it is very nice to meet you Jessica. You can call me Polly." Someone at the table cleared their throat and Michael proudly showing her off, "Guys this is Jessica my girlfriend, Jessica this is my family."
Before she could speak, the front door opened again this time it was one of the men from the car. "Miss Jessica we promised your father we would be home by 3:00 we need to leave now. Make sure you give the man the letter." The Shelby family sat there in confusion. Jessica turned around, "Is there a Thomas Shelby here?" The man at the head of the table stood up, "I am Thomas Shelby." She handed him the letter. "My father asked me to give this to you." He opened up the letter. "Tomorrow?" he questioned which she replied yes. "And everyone in this room?" he asked and she replied yes again. She turned to Michael, "I have to go, but I will see you tomorrow." Jessica kissed him and ran out the door. "Tomorrow?" Michael thought. Everyone looked at Tommy. "Michael, do you know what Jessica's father does?" he questioned." Michael responded, "I am not entirely sure. He paid for my classes at the university and said one day when I'm married to Jessica I would work for him. I know his sons run their business in America and he does the oversees business." Tommy responded, "Does Jessica know what his business is." Michael stated, "I don't think she knows either, but that he is very powerful." Tommy put the letter on the table and stood up, "Jessica's father is Janik Swavorski, head of the Polish Mafia and has invited us to dinner at their house tomorrow."
