The next morning, Mia and Riley were sat on the chairs in the kitchen as the two of them were holding a cup of tea each. After the two siblings had caught up last night at the garrisons, Riley had brought her to his house they barely did any talking as soon as they entered the house due to the fact that the raven haired girl was tied from all the traveling she's done to arrive at Birmingham.
"How have you been?" Riley curiously questioned, Mia smiled slightly as she looked down in guilt as every part of her wanting to tell him everything she had been through when he moved out of their parents house when she was just sixteen - especially when their parents died but he doesn't know anything that happened in her life when he left New York so she decided to keep lying as it was the easier way and didn't want anybody's to look at her in pity.
Mia placed a fake smile on her face not that her brother had noticed as she looked up from the cup of tea she was currently staring at and replied, " I've been good. After our parents died, I went to college in Russia. Staying in New York just reminded me of all the good memories we had and I just wanted a fresh start. To forget everything bad that had ever happened to our family"
"I see. I'm sorry for being unable to pick you up yesterday. Had to help Arthur, he got beaten up quite bad" Riley apologised as he stared at his sister with an apologetic expression on his face but Mia wasn't really bothered as James wasn't that bad company just a little chatty and curious about the Davis sister. Mia folded her arms across her chest with a nonchalantly expression on her face raising her brows at her brother as she heard from James of how her brother is now in some sort of gang called the peaky blinders, " do you want to explain to me how the hell you joined the peaky blinders?"
Mia sighed heavily with a shake of her head as she looked at her brother trying to read him as he wasn't like Tommy who had his hair shaved or styled but she knew he was involved with the gang because of his cap and the way people addressed him as it was quite clear last night that a quite a few people fear him because he runs around with the Shelby's.
Riley's eyes widened in surprise as he gaped at his youngest sister wondering how she found out in the first place as be began to curse James under his breathe in annoyance as he knew his little sister isn't so little anymore and she's a women so she's bound to be curious what her brother had been doing these last couple of years, " Riley, I'm not stupid. You really don't think I did any research on this small town when you invited me to stay with you. James, on the other hand had no problem answering my questions I had about you. Can you blame me I've not seen you in nearly six years but why the hell would you think it's a good idea to join some gang?"
The older man sighed placing his cup of tea on the table in front of him and informed, " it's a long story, how I met the Shelby's and became a peaky blinder" Mia raised her brows shooting her brother a look to elaborate as she wasn't going to leave it at that causing him to run his hand through his messy hair and explained that they had met in France where the oldest Shelby, Arthur, had saved his life in the war.
