Thomas is discharged three days later, announcing his retirement from all business. Marvin Industries will restructure as completely legitimate operations. He's done with the criminal world.
Tony can't take over immediately; recovery will take months. But he's already planning.
"What will you do?" I asked during one of his physical therapy sessions. He's managed four steps with a walker, impressive progress.
"Something different... something clean." He looks at me. "Maybe consulting. Financial oversight for businesses wanting to go legitimate. Help other families break free from the Commission's remnants. Also start a business…something I can call my own through my hard work, not borne from generational wealth alone." He winks despite the pain. "Will still manage, operate, and oversee the family operations, but work on building and starting my own legacy."
I smile. "Know any good financial analysts who could help?"
