1915

In the whorehouse is where you first met Murdoch. After losing a bet to him, he listens to your story of being broke, and not having enough to get by as a harlot. As a result, he employs you at Red's General Goods. Murdoch's father, Alfred, is very demanding of Murdoch and you both agree to help each other out. You help Murdoch inherit the store from his father, and Murdoch pays you, more than what you typically make at the whorehouse.

Walking in the blistering heat, you enter Red's General Goods, seeing Murdoch and his father behind the counter. His father grunts and walks off to the back.

"Samuel." He nods. "Sorry about my father.. I just told him that I wanted to hire you to help me for today. He didn't take it all too well on account of.. umm.. you fucking other guys.." He blushes before continuing.

"..Anyways I'll pay ya 7 dollars a day, helping me move some crates and stuff." He leans in, whispers and blushes.

"As well as.. you know.. personal help.. heh."
