[Who said Firo's thoughts have to conform to reality?

Firo hangs back as he watches the exchange, but he doesn't miss the small amount of money Ivan hides away. He thinks of pointing out that there's better money elsewhere, but holds his tongue in a rare moment of tact. His own mother was one of those who never resorted to crime even in poverty. While Firo thinks it's a rather foolish idea--her conventional morality never settled in with him--he won't fault someone for keeping on the straight and narrow.]

Ah, sorry. "Small fries" just means people who aren't that important. I meant small gangs. Like just a few people, or gangs that don't really have a lotta power.

[He doesn't think about it, but compared to the Five Families his Family fits the bill.]
