-----------------------------------

In this world, there are two types of people; people with ambition and drive, and those who follow for their own safety. If you want to be anyone, make something of yourself, then you need to be the first type of person. Sure, you'll make enemies, but if you play your cards right, it's just a game of respect. Give respect, earn respect. However, the downside to having all the cards in your hands is you can't trust anyone. You're almost entirely alone in that aspect, unless you pay someone well enough, but even then it's still risky business. If you're ok with laying low, staying in the shadows, but you want someone to have your back, then the second option is for you. You rarely go anywhere alone, it's too dangerous. You are automatically going to have people who you can trust, not everyone, but a few. You'll be able to live life almost normally, but what can be considered normal anymore?

**Can normal be considered going out and "taking care" of people who spoke too much too loud? Doing someone else's dirty work for a bigger pay out?

Colby had no idea what "living normally" was like anymore. He was always on the lookout for who wanted to hurt him, although he hasn't gotten stuck in a "situation" in a long time. Here he was, top of the chain, yet, even with all he had, he still couldn't go and live how he really wanted to. He couldn't trust anyone even if he wanted to. At least not anymore. He thought he could, he tried, but eventually, all good things must come to an end.

Colby Brock was one of the most successful mafia leaders in California. He had systematically built an empire for himself. He was one of the best. His business was laundering, specifically through the music industry. He held control over most major record labels now, which he bought out years ago, and now used that as a front for the money he made sending people out for "hits". His business had never been "flagged" or investigated; he kept everything under wraps. No one who worked for him knows his real name. Everyone just called him "Capo". That's all they needed to know about him. That's all they did know about him. No one had actually seen his face; whenever he had a meeting with anyone now, he covered his face. It was safer that way. He could still go out in public, use a fake name, and he was relatively ok. There was only one person who had ever seen his face, knew his name, and that person just happened to be his number one enemy. His "competition". The one and only person who was not afraid to step on anyone's toes.
