“ mornin’ tom, ” ada’s voice is lighter than it was most of the time these days, a side effect of being around family perhaps or maybe she just really a slice of jam and bread. regardless of the source of her good mood it was clear she was at least trying to hold onto it even if she wasn’t going to go spreading about her secrets. “ you got time for breakfast or are you too busy for such common stuff these days, ” // @theblinderboy

❛     what  did  you  do?   ❜

CRIME  BASED  SENTENCE   PROMPTS  .

JAW CLENCHED AT TOMMY’S QUESTION.  john  had  known   he  couldn’t  trust  polly  not  to  go  running  to  his  older  brother  with  this  but  he  had  hoped  he  would  have  a  little  more  time  to  get  himself  together  before  he  would  be  brought  before  their  very  own  one  man  jury.  but  better  for  it  to  be  here,  while  they  were  at  home  and  alone,  than  to  get  a  bollocking  in  the  next  family  meeting.

“  he  was  shouting  his  mouth  off,  ”  he  began  to  explain,  eyes  finally  rising  to  meet  tommy’s  from  below  his  cap,  “  sayin’  all  sorts  ‘bout  us,  walking  ‘round  all  brave  and  mighty.  fuckin’  dickhead. ”  after  a  small  exhale  of  breath  to  calm  his  anger  from  flaring  up  again  and  finishing  his  glass  of  whiskey,  he  continued,  “  so  i  roughed  him  up  a  little  bit  – ”  a  lot,  if  the  rumours  of  his  victim  clinging  to  life  in  the  hospital  bed  were  anything  to  go  by,  “  –  but  at  least  he’ll  know  that  we  don’t  stand  for  that  kind  of  disrespect  ‘round  here,  especially  when  it  involves  the  good  shelby  name. ”

Business.

@theblinderboy

London was a difficult place for anyone to make a go of things. Sure, it was full of opportunity but only if you knew the right people- if you paid the right people, something that most didn’t really even think about. She wasn’t from London- a couple of miles outside of, to be exact, which gave her some significant leverage when it came to standing her own ground. It wasn’t like she had wanted this way of life, it had just happened and well...it wasn’t exactly working out too badly for her now was it? She had everything that she could ever wish for and yet she still wanted more- she wanted as much as she could and she was determined to work for it. She had a lot of things working for her- she was a woman, which in turn meant that she was more often than not underestimated which, ironically, gave her the upper hand. “Is there a reason that you called me in early?” The dark haired woman rose an eyebrow, making her way through the long hallway toward her office, walking alongside the man she trusted with....most business. “I don’t have any meetings today. I was going to London to have some time to myself so this better be good” she remarked simply, shaking her head as she removed her coat and hat, sitting in her chair and pouring herself a drink “well? Are you going to stand there and stumble over your words or are you going to tell me why I’m sat here at this time on a Friday morning?”. She crossed one leg over the other before she reached for her cigarette, taking a long drag from it and watching as the smoke swirled in patterns around the room “ah, Mr Shelby” she greeted, raising an eyebrow and looking toward him “whatever can I help you with?” She remarked, reaching to pour him a glass of whiskey.
