Don’t mess with the mob; a look into organized crime networks and mafia families, the real-life gangsters that inspired The Godfather.

Hwy 87
There’s this 1950’s diner on a thirsty Highway 87 facing a rusty, dated, century old, 2920s style metropolis in the distance. I guess that’s what we get for voting in a totalitarian mayor that spends our city’s taxes on keeping the lights on for his rich buddies up in Lakken Sky leaving the poor to literally live hand to mouth. In which then you’d be forced out here in the wasteland in uncharted territory. No monetarily gluttonous Tryterrah City Security to mistake the victim for an offender. No societal sects or government approved syndicates to keep a look out for. And your money is no good out there. The minute you start flashing T.U.’s (Tryterrah Units), you can say goodbye to everything you worked for and wake up with a severed hand and left to bleed out on the outskirts of Highway 87.

What is Yakuza?
The name Yakuza comes from a losing hand in a traditional Japanese card game. Ya ku sa — eight, nine, three. The group began in the Tokugawa period, also known as the Edo period, with the seemingly odd combination of gamblers and itinerant peddlers joining forces (Hill, 2004). The Yakuza have always kept to their roots as you will see by the end of this article.

You Can Bet On It Prizefight Boxing has long been a favorite with organized crime syndicates as wagering can be lucrative. However, the bookie always comes out ahead of the game when factoring in the "juice," additional fees charged for placing bets.

Brazen
He had known, even as he had accepted the large brown envelope and vanished into a swirl of airport-bound traffic, that Ferencz would find him and kill him, wherever he tried to flee. It was just a question of how much he would enjoy the weeks of enormous wealth prior to the moment Ferencz caught up with him. And really – it hadn’t been bad. For more than a year, he had skipped from island to island, living the life and bedding the women he had always dreamed of, taking a break at random intervals for plastic surgery and passport forgery. Finally, as was inevitable from the beginning, he felt the gun pushing into the back of his neck. His only real mistake, he now realized, was that he hadn’t forced them to shoot him.

The Psychiatrist
Handcuffed to a chair sits a twelve-year-old boy. Dr. Scarborough sits back down in his office chair and dials the intercom to Angie’s office. “Yes, I knew about Dr. Whitney arriving this week, but I’m interviewing a new patient right now, so if you just want to show him the rounds that I normally do, that would be extremely helpful. What are you doing tonight?”
