Faces
“It was early evening and he liked this time of day; he had picked up the bulk of the money that they demanded regularly from the smaller businesses in their orbit and, unlike the majority of their peers who thought it was only pennies and half-pennies, he knew that it weighed out into a serious wedge over the course of a year. Look after the pennies and the pounds always looked after themselves. So many people in their game chased only the big dollars these days, but it had been proven over and... over again that it was the little amounts that added up over time. They were also overlooked by Old Bill, in fact they were overlooked by everyone. A few quid was seen as a touch, a drink. A bank robbery, on the other hand, was seen as a piss-take, the forcible removal of a huge amount of money and therefore worthy of Filth’s notice. Unless they were forewarned, of course and, thanks to Danny Boy and Michael, they were warned well in advance. But the rents, as they referred to the smaller amounts, went unnoticed by the powers that be, so there was no need to give anyone a drink or ask for them to turn a blind eye to the transactions.MoreLess
