-1919 Birmingham, England
GRACE AND MILLICENT BURGESS were sisters, six years apart but they were still insanely close. They had just arrived at Birmingham train station from Galway. Millicent had come over to England to help her sister with her police mission. They both decided to get a job as bartenders in the Garrison, which was owned by Arthur Shelby.
Grace's singing voice quickly took over the Garrison and they'd have karaoke Friday nights every Friday whilst Millicent lifted the glasses. Was she proud of her sister? Yes. But did it get annoying after a while? Absolutely. One evening, a brown haired, 5,8 man walked into the Garrison. "You look a little too young to be working in a bar, don't you think?" The man asked. "Uh, I'm 20 thank you very much" Millicent said, "Tommy! Hurry up!" A boy shouted from the other side of the glass.
"Could I get a bottle of rum?" Tommy said. "A whole bottle?" Millicent asked. "Yeah" Tommy said. "White or dark?" Millicent asked. "Could care less" Tommy said, reaching into his pocket. "Milly! Come here!" Harry shouted. Milly set the bottle on the counter before walking over to Harry. "Yeah?" Millicent said. "Whatever it is, tell him it's on the house" Harry said. "Are you taking the piss?" Millicent ask.
"No. Now go, Thomas Shelby hates waiting" Harry said. Millicent sighed and walked over to pick up the bottle. She set it down in front of him and looked at Tommy. "Harry says it's on the house" Millicent said. "Are you a whore?" Tommy asked, raising an eyebrow. "Are you a prick?" Millicent asked. "Because if your not, you're in the wrong place" Tommy said, taking the bottle and throwing a ten pound note onto the windowsill.
Millicent looked at him in disbelief. She grabbed the ten pound and slammed the shutters. "Harry, who was that?" Millicent asked. "That's Thomas Shelby, one of the most dangerous men in England" Harry said. "Is he always such a dick?" Millicent asked. "He's been like that ever since he came back from the war" Harry said. "He fought in the war?" Millicent asked. "Yes" Harry said. "Is he dating anyone?" Millicent asked. "Tommy hasn't wanted anyone since he got back from France. But if he wants you. There's nothing anybody can do about that" Harry said.
"Milly" Grace said, throwing her, her coat. "Thanks. See you tomorrow" Millicent said, walking off with her sister. "So?" Grace asked. "So?" Millicent asked, confused. "Who was that man you were asking Harry about?" Grace asked with a smirk. "Grace, ew. I don't like him" Millicent said. "Okay, keep telling yourself that" Grace said, rolling her eyes. "I don't-" Millicent said before walking into a man.
"Oh shit" Was the one thought running through Millicent's head. "You" Millicent said. "Me" it was Tommy. "Mr Shelby, I'm so terribly sorry. My sister is clumsy sometimes" Grace said. "Well, you're sister was very nice to me earlier today I will let it slide this once" Tommy said. "Okay, Grace let's go" Millicent said, tugging Grace's arm. "Till next time" Tommy said, getting on his horse.
