Slim Tony takes the money from the crack-head, and begins to count the money to himself. He look upfrom the cash in his hand. He looks at Naynay, a prostitute far beyond her glory days, and he speaks to her, his voice: serious, "Where is the rest of the money."

"That's all of itTony."He grabs her by the throat and shakes her as he speaks , "You're skimming off the top."

"I'm not Tony!"

He tosses her to the ground, "Bitch you better not."

Naynay runs off, and Tony is left to his thoughts:  She skimmed the top.  A few years back none of the girls would dare skim the top let alone lie to me. What happened to me? I must be falling off.

He puts the cash in his pocket and heads to visit the old men.

Tony stands before the old men. He sets the money on the table. The old men seemed by Tony. Tony sees the old men's good mood. "I was wondering if you guys would let  me do bigger deals."

 One of the old men speaks up, "You're a good," the other men nod their as the old man continues, " We all like you but you're a nobody. How would it look if we gave you the nod over some else that was more well known."

Tony nods his head, "I understand." Slim Tony turns around and leaves as he entered a nobody.
