Natty Guard is about to get a lesson in silver and lead from the cartels. I doubt the guard pays anyone well enough to risk their family depriving homeless junkies of their drugs. A couple of mysterious house fires and suddenly everyone is happy to be on the payroll.
Now they are in charge of applying the turf, taking out chiselers and rivals and people who do not pay their debts. Throw them an occasional bone by making a big deal out of some fresh Scarface wannabe. Sell him the crap that’s been so stepped on that it might as well be a welcome mat, then roll it up after the transaction. Send out the right guys, the good stuff comes back and gets promoted.
