The garrisons was packed with men drinking, laughing and chatting. The bar was overflowing with pints and bottles of whiskey. Harry had informed the blonde women he had hired a new barmaid for extra help around the pub and to Maddie's surprise it was the same women she had met the day before but it was clear she had never worked in a pub before but was impressed how quickly she learned the ropes.

"It is always this busy in daytime?" Grace questioned glancing over at Harry and Maddie as she passed a tray of beers to a group of men who was standing in front of her before she slides the tray over to Maddie who stops it with her hand stacking up a tray of empty glasses causing Harry to let out an amused snort at the two girls antics before he shook his head in response, " Nah. These boys are on their way to St Andrews"

Maddie smiled serving a group of men and women before piling up the empty glasses on the tray as she walked back behind the bar, " to pray?" Grace curiously inquired only for Maddie to let out a laugh shaking her head in response, " that'll be the day" Harry nodded his head in agreement with Maddie as he added in, "face, "St Andrews is a football ground. The blues are playing. that's the forward line there, and that's the goalie believe it or not"

The small window beside Grace opened only to reveal Thomas Shelby, " Hello!" He yelled over the sound of men chatting and laughing as Grace approached the man while Maddie continued helping Harry serving the men at the bar, " I need a bottle of rum" Grace eyes widened at his demanding and rude tone as Harry walked behind the new barmaid and quietly told her, " Grace, whatever it is. It's on the house"

Grace nodded her head on acknowledgment before she turned back around to face Tommy, " a whole bottle?" She questioned only for a dead panned look to appear on his face looking straight through the older blonde women as he didn't seem interested as he replied, " yeah" Grace sighed in defeat nodding her head slightly, " white or dark rum?" Tommy let out an annoyed breath with a roll of his eyes but shifted impatiently like he had some place he needed to be, " don't care"

"Maddie" Grace called out causing the younger women to look over at her who gestured towards the bottle of dark rum behind her, " can you pass me that bottle of rum?" Maddie nodded her head passing Grace the bottle of rum not paying attention to Tommy who's eyes had focused on her fame looking at her up and down when Grace cleared her throat gaining his attention and sent him a polite smile, " Harry said it's on the house"

"Are you a whore?" Tommy rudely questioned with furrowed brows as he stared at Grace only for Maddie's eyes to widened as she gasped quietly in surprise, " cause if you're not, then you're in the wrong place. Both of you" Maddie scoffed in disbelief as she turned around to face the man placing her hand on her hip, " excuse me!" The blonde beauty loudly exclaimed narrowing her eyes dangerously at the man, " you don't even know us. What gives you the right to judge someone you know nothing about. It tells me exactly who you are and for your information a women can easily work in a bar without opening their legs"
