Janik's car pulled up to the hospital. A second car parked behind. The men got out first looking around the perimeter. The one man went up to Janik's door and opened it. "Mr. Swavorski all clear and safe," he said. Janik nodded his head and stepped out. He walked towards the front door, men behind him and in front of him still making sure Mr. Swavorski was safe. Due to yesterday's events, they had amped up his security, now having 5 men with Jessica at all times as well. He walked down the hall towards the door of Michael's hospital room. He opened the door to everyone sitting and standing around the table. Michael's back was to the door. "Good morning everyone," Janik said tipping his hat off to everyone. Michael immediately began to ask questions, "How is she? Where is she? Is she ok?" he rambled. Tommy cut him off, "Michael listen as much as all of us want to know how Jessica is, business first." Janik could see Michael was frustrated so he spoke, "Michael, she's much better then I think we all thought. We will talk after."
Tommy began the meeting. "As we all know, yesterday was a rough day for this family. Greg Blake had taken Jessica hostage, we had killed 3 of his men and injured the younger Blake son. Now Janik's sons have friends in the police department that have bugged the Blake house in New York. He spoke to his sons yesterday. Janik," Tommy let the meeting over to him. He stood up tall in his seat. "Yesterday I spoke to my oldest son Travis. They have been doing a lot of intel on the Blake family watching their house, listening to their phone calls." Janik paused and took a sip of whiskey. "They said most of the calls in regards to what is going on here is between Gina and Greg Blake. When he shot Michael, he told Gina. When they had people shoot at my sons, Gina called Greg. There hasn't been many calls between Greg and Mr. Blake in regards to what he is doing here. Travis said that the last conversation Greg had with Mr. Blake was Greg saying he needed to take a few more weeks to get to know you guys for the business deal to be successful." Everyone took a minute to think about what he said. Arthur spoke, "So is what your son saying that Mr. Blake has no idea what his son is doing here? Does he realize the war his son has started?" "My son's are going to listen for the next few days. See what is said about Jessica and what is the next move. With that being said though I suggest we be more prepared." John chimed in, "Do we really think Greg Blake is making all these moves without his father knowing?" Chatter started amongst the group not sure what to think of what Janik just said. John spoke up, "Does he realize at any given moment his father and sister could be taking out by the Peaky Blinders?"
Meanwhile outside, Polly and Jessica pulled up the hospital. Polly thought she looked nervous. "You know we can always turn back around if you're not ready." Jess was thankful for her support, but wanted to see Michael. "No Poll, I'm ready. I miss Michael." Polly went to open the door when the man in the front stopped her. "Mrs. Gray we just need to get the go ahead from the men behind us." Polly looked confused. The man spoke, "Mr. Swavorski's orders." Jess spoke, "Sorry Poll. My dad has clearly upped the security since yesterday." A man walked up to the door, "All clear ladies you may come out." Jessica and Polly stepped out and walked towards the hospital. As they got closer to Michael's door they saw several men outside with guns. Jessica stopped short before the door. Polly looked at her, "If you can't do this we can go back it's ok my son will understand." Jessica took a deep breath, "No, no I am fine."
She turned the door handle and walked in. Everyone at the table was talking when suddenly it got quiet when they noticed she had been standing there. She looked around and could see Michael's back facing her. "Why did everyone stop talking?" he questioned. Tommy stood up. "Welcome back Jess, it's good to see you." Michael immediately turned around coming face to face with his girlfriend. He stood up and went as quick as he could towards the door, refusing to show he was in pain. He grabbed on to her face and kissed her. He then grabbed her into a hug hold on for dear life. Everyone looked on seeing the interaction between the two. It was hard to watch seeing how much pain they both were in. Polly spoke up, "Why don't we finish this meeting at the office? Let them both have their time together." She said it more as a demand than a question. One by one everyone got up and hugged Jessica. They were so happy to see her. Janik last. "Sweetheart I need you to come home tonight. I need you to call when you leave so I know you're coming." "Daddy, but," Janik cut her off, "No Jessica, I need you home tonight please understand why I'm asking this of you ok?" Michael could tell Janik was dying inside begging her to come home, "Janik I'll make sure she calls before she goes." "Michael," Jess said annoyed that he was agreeing with her father.
"I'm so sorry. I am so sorry I made you go to that meeting." Michael began to apologize and rant. Jess didn't think he was taking a breath. "Baby, baby, STOP!" she yelled. He was shocked by her response. "Listen I do not blame you. But I refuse to allow myself be the victim any longer ok?" She tried to say it confidently, but a tear started to roll down her face. She wiped it away and he picked her chin up. "I am going to end this ok? I will take care of him and what he did to you." She grabbed his robe and pulled him closer, "Don't forget what he did to you. He deserves to pay." He pecked her lips, "Lets go lay down, I have some good news." They both climbed into the hospital bed and got under the covers. She cuddled up against him, "I wont lie, I missed this bed and being in it with you." She looked up and smiled. "Well then I guess I have some bad news for you." She looked at him confused, "But I thought you said you have good news for me." "I did until you said you missed this bed, because I get to go home tomorrow." She sat up immediately. "What are you serious?" She threw her arms around him. "This is the best news ever. Wait does my dad know about this?" Michael shook his head yes, "And he still wont let me stay the night I don't understand!" Michael shook his head with a smile, "Babe, I'm going to need help with somethings and might need you at my mom's place more than before. Your dad knows that and just wants you with him one more night, ok?" She rolled her eyes, "Fine. But does help include a sponge bath?" He laughed and pulled her closer. Michael's face got serious looking into her eyes, "Baby. When they told me what had happened to you. I died inside again." Jessica's eye started to well up and felt a lump in her throat. "I know I said it before, but I am going to take care of this. I promise. I love you." Her eyes were glassy. "I just don't want to be seen as this weak girl ya know? But with you next to me, I don't feel like that. I love you too."
