The Littlest Client #40

by

Duncan Gallagher was a transplant from New York. The word on the street was he'd come out here in '42 trying to dodge the draft. He worked as a two-bit gangster for any schmuck that needed someone with muscles and no conscience. Eventually he worked his way up to heading his own operation, mostly prostitution but also branched out into the bookmaking business and money laundering. I now fully understood why Max Dolan had taken a powder. You didn't get two chances to screw up with Gallagher.

The other three only survived because they could blame it on Dolan...

    Uh-oh! Sounds like things might get a touch more violent. I’d hang on to them chair legs, Jake, if I were you!🥴

    He's probably going to need them!
