Chapter 109 Introduction

• Boss and Spike have been together since they were kids. Living in the unsavory parts of the city, where kids get born to teenage, drug-addled parents out of wedlock. They usually get taken away by social services to get stuck in a system that doesn’t care about them. If they do survive, then they fall back to where their parents originated from, continuing the never-ending cycle of drugs and violence. They start out as drug runners, lookouts for unsavory characters, and sources of information for their kind.
• They do not know any other way of life other than being a thug and a criminal. But that one million dollar windfall 20 years ago was the break they needed to start their business. They built a casino as a front for their drug business, and until recently, they had been successful. Their sources got busted by the cops. Millions of dollars went down the drain when their items were confiscated. All because of a small insignificant runner that ratted out their source.
• The good thing for these two was that the cops never traced the drugs back to them. Though they were suspicious, no evidence led to their casino. But now, they needed to find a more reliable source of income because the casino business deteriorated now that the perks were gone.
