The past would always creep back up upon Eddie. Slowly, and yet certainly.
Eddie surely had a lot of time in the more recent days to reflect upon his life as a younger man. With the arrival of the Van Dorens, Marlowe English, plus the fact that he was newly unattached once more, memories of his former life had come flooding back in surges. Back to the time where the Stirlings were at their peak in the criminal world, a powerhouse which had other enterprises tremble or sneer at their name alone. Alfred had built an illegitimate business beneath a highly successful whiskey distillery, both companies dominating the market.
Edmund Stirling-Moray had once been a highly regarded man.
Within those months, those years, he’d found himself filtering through girlfriends, drinking and smoking through all hours of the night. Funnily enough, he’d once been well liked; suave and charming though reserved and stealthy. He didn’t need to make his presence known - everyone knew that he was already there. He’d been a popular teenager with friends from all over. Frequent trips to New York had him in the company of the Richards family.
They were great fun, and by ❛ they ❜ Eddie really meant Elijah. Not in saying that the rest of the family were dull, but Eddie didn’t really know them all too well. Memphis was a memorable face and an even more memorable name, though; back in the day when alcohol just did not cut it, he sought for something a little more enthralling through Memphis’ deals. He could thank Elijah for being the bad influence that he was, but Eddie had to admit that he certainly made Eddie’s younger years one hell of a lot more exciting.
Eddie had been standing outside on the porch, cigarette placed thoughtfully between his lips, when he saw them trekking up towards the lodge. Brows knitted together for a split second, removing the cigarette and holding it between two fingertips before he picked up his walkie-talkie. ❝ Newcomers. ❞ Said newcomers had seemingly stopped walking at this point, Ed’s cue to approach. He trudged silently through the snow, features unreadable as he wordlessly approached until he eventually slowed to a stop.
❝ What took you so long? ❞ Ed questioned impassively, the Captain shifting his gaze to look over towards Elijah. The tiniest twinkle of elation in his eyes. Brief, but noticeable enough through otherwise emotionless features. Finally, he then looked towards Memphis, nodding his head in greeting at the older man. ❝ Memphis. It’s been a while. What brings you two to Flintlock Lodge? ❞
