PAINTING IT ALL RED: PART ONE WOUNDS THAT NEVER HEAL: PART TWO "This may not be the promised land, but I assure you I am capable of pouring beer into glasses." "If this isn't the promised land, why would you come here?" He spoke. You laid your eyes on the back of his head. "No one ever went to the promised land to be a barmaid, Mr. Shelby." After leaving your suffocating home, with only your paints and the clothes on your back, and hopping on a train to Birmingham, the last thing you expected was to be working for Thomas fucking Shelby. You also didn't expect to be breaking the law for him, but working for the Shelby Brothers was never going to be simple...

PAINTING IT ALL RED: PART ONE WOUNDS THAT NEVER HEAL: PART TWO "It'll do you well not to speak to me like that, young lady," Young lady. Typical. "It'll do you well not to talk down on me, Mr Kinsmen. I own this establishment, me and me alone. I own it legitimately, inside the law, and it is mine," He stayed silent as you continued. "If anything threatens that, I will take legal action. I am secure. I am protected- And you don't want to see me mad, Mr Kinsmen. You really don't," After leaving Birmingham, you thought that it would be easy to move on. Even if you're still plagued with dreams, even if you still think about the Shelby's from time to time, you knew that you'd be better off after you left it all behind. Two years later, time eventually catches up with you-- The Shelby's come back into your life in the worst of circumstances.
