Jake Randolph Origins #120

I didn't recognize him but Helen Keller could've seen that this guy was pure Mafia. Black double-breasted suit with white pinstripes, black shirt, white tie, two-tone black-and-white wingtip shoes and a black fedora perched at an angle on his head. I did not want to tangle with this clown or his men.

And there seemed to be plenty of his men. Besides the driver of the car, two guys got out of the cab of the delivery truck, two got out of the back, similarly dressed to their boss but with a blue and white motif...

    I feel a shoot-out may be a-coming soon. Perhaps Jake will get an offer he can't refuse to respond to....

    Thanks, guys. I usually use Stevie Wonder when I need a "so obvious a blind person could see it" reference, but he wasn't even born when this story is set, so I had to improvise.
