Power, Far, Cozy


“It’s a cozy arrangement. We’re small potatoes but the alliances we’ve built with several major players helps ensure our survival. It’s a far cry from being where I want the organization to be, but day by day our power continues to grow.”

These were the last words Desmond Alvarez, head of the Tomatillo family, uttered in public. It seems that certain other members of that family weren’t happy with the alliance details; too many rules to their liking. Desmond was found, three days after his sudden disappearance, castrated and beheaded. The symbolism of the loss of power was unambiguous.
