Ashes of the Dragon

He drives a truck now and earns what the runs pay, and that goes into the house he keeps with his wife. He served his sentence in full before this. On the street he had been the one they called Crossing River Dragon, and for years the underworld went through him. Out on a job he comes across the driver of an imported car throwing his weight around, and the man turns on him and humiliates him in front of everyone there. His old sworn brothers hear about it and arrive ready to take it up for him. He waves them off and will not have it. He has cut away what was left of the old connections. He goes back to the truck and to ordinary days with his wife.
