Tommy Shelby Once Tommy was alone, he finished his glass of whiskey, and poured himself another, savoring the moment of silence. He knew that he should probably cut back on his drinking, but he also knew that there was a high likelihood that he wouldn't. He still wanted to have a few more words...

Tommy Shelby At the first mention of his brother, Tommy quickly poured himself a glass of whiskey and took a sip. A long sip. He felt like he needed it, though there were rarely times that he felt he didn't need it. He took another long sip as his brother came back to his house. He was quickly...

Tommy Shelby "Good evening," Tommy said as she came in, without even looking up at her. He put aside what he was working on and looked at her proof of employment. He was quiet as he did so, his expression remaining blank, unreadable. Even after he finished reading it, he still looked at it for...

Tommy Shelby "Oi!" Tommy called out as his brother left. "If you bother the girl, I will hear about it." With that, Tommy went back to his study to continue his work, Essie Rosen Essie smiled, a little awkwardly at Alfie's teasing, but she did feel herself relax a little more at that. She...

Tommy Shelby This time, Tommy was unable to resist the urge to roll his eyes. He quickly stood up and rushed after his brother. "Arthur," he called. "Arthur, get back here. You still have work to do. Now, I don't fully trust the girl myself, but I need you to do some things for me." He handed...

Tommy Shelby Tommy resisted the urge to roll his eyes as his brother spoke. "Look, Arthur, I have everything under control," Tommy said. He liked to think he did, and he always convinced himself that he did. He was convinced that he had everything under control, despite the fact, that as he...

Tommy Shelby Tommy didn't exactly know how to respond. It was odd, he was always used to being in complete control over any given situation, and when he wasn't it never felt right. He didn't know many who would deny someone a job with his name on the reference. While he was always professional...

Tommy Shelby Tommy watched as she began to walk away. For once, he was caught speechless. He watched her for a moment, before he spoke up. "Wait," he said. "Will you allow me to right you a reference. With that, a job is guaranteed. Essie Rosen "Oh," was all Essie was able to say as she...

Tommy Shelby Tommy nodded. Still not convinced her plan would work, he stayed quiet for a moment. "What about a reference? You'll need one of those. And you'll be in trouble if someone follows up on it and discovers you're lying." He stated it plainly. He didn't think a pub would be a place to...

Tommy Shelby Tommy's face softened the tiniest bit. "The pub? Do you really think that any place would hire a gypsy girl without references or a resume?" Tommy knew that it was a harsh truth, but he was aware of how things worked. Essie Rosen Essie stood as Alfie entered her office. A...

Tommy Shelby "Oh, an interview," Tommy said in a voice that showed he didn't believe a word that she was saying. "Who do you have an interview with?" Essie Rosen Essie jumped a little in surprise as she heard a knock at her door. Alfie, being the only one who came into her office on a regular...

Tommy Shelby Tommy didn't bat an eye as she finished and left the room. He continued on with his work until he heard one of the doors open. Due to their size, he could hear the sound. He looked out the window of his study and he saw Esperanza walking down the front path. "Fuck," he muttered, as...

Tommy Shelby Tommy looked at her with a confused expression, and he looked back down at his work for a second and then back at her. "No," he said. "Not at all. Thank you for your help. It is much appreciated." Essie Rosen Essie said nothing as she got out of the car and followed Alfie into...

Tommy Shelby Tommy really wasn't worried about her finding out information. He had really just given her busy work that was mostly just receipts for stuff he had bought for the office, nothing of real importance, desks and typewrites and the like. Still he wanted to keep them for records, as he...

Tommy Shelby "That's all right, it won't be important for a little while," said Tommy. He knew that blood wouldn't be able to be bought out. But those who were close but not related could be. Still he could bide his time a little while till he found out who he could buy loyalty from. Essie...

Tommy Shelby Tommy sat at his desk, scribbling away, working out the kinks in his plan, making sure that there was no possible way that this could go wrong. He found himself looking up every few minutes towards Esperanza for a second or two, before getting back to his work. After a few more...

Tommy Shelby Tommy thought for a moment, and then looked around his desk. He picked up a file and quickly looked through it before handing it to Esperanza. "If you don't mind, could you sort out the papers in here alphabetically?" Essie Rosen Essie gave him a small smile. "Thank you, sir,"...

Tommy Shelby Tommy didn't trust Alfie Solomons as far as he could throw him, him being involved with Capone came as no surprise. "Thank you for this information, you've been more valuable than you know." Tommy wasn't very good at conveying emotion, but it was clear that there was gratitude in...
