Uncle Marco is pretty good at reading people. It came with the job. And everything that he had learned pointed in the direction of Thumbs' honesty. Thumbs' expression to Rose's back is not exactly a friendly one, but there was a bigger conundrum that precluded engaging in petty hatred at the moment.<br/><br/>"Look, my books are crooked as anyone else playing the game. I cut myself a bigger piece than they'd show, and I cheat my guys here and there so I come ahead. But you always got yours in full - I cheat Rose or Drugstore, sure - at least, I always paid the first guy who came collecting for you in full." Thumbs said, and it was the truth. "And you know, I sent a guy of mine, Patches? I sent him to your place to bring this up with you, but uh. Well. Some Dogs came by that afternoon with his dick and his nuts in a box. So I got the message, right?"
