Modern Day Mafia

The Don has a word for wise guys who don't pay. He starts talking the moment you walk in, and he does not stop.

"So. We got a wise guy who don't wanna pay. In the old country, your word was your life, capisce? He pays, or he learns."

Modern Day Mafia, scamadviser.com, is a four chapter illustrated story of the old neighborhood, the envelope, and the men who collected it. The story itself is told in full where it belongs, at The Cruz Watch, and the shirts and prints live in the Mafia shop there.
